One of the bigger shocks from Sony’s keynote was the appearance of a rather nervous, and still rotund Gabe Newell. Surprising not only because he famously rubbished the PS3, but because he proclaimed that Portal 2 on PS3 would be the best console version available. Why?
Steamworks. Steamworks will allow for Portal 2 auto-updates, downloadable content, and community support directly from Valve – something the 360 version will be missing unless Microsoft changes its policies. It may get even better for PS3 owners.
When questioned on the subject of cross-compatibility between Steamworks and Steam – more specifically playing co-op on a PC with a friend playing on a PS3, Valve’s Eric Johnson said it was “something the team is gunning for.â€
Valve developer Mike Dunkle also confirmed this, saying:
“The plan is you will be able to play between console and PCâ€
Anyone who’s played PC and Xbox 360 versions of Valve games would know how the 360 versions pale in comparison to their PC counterparts – primarily because of the frequent updates and user content that steam allows.

Hope they allow KB/mouse on ps3 for this game. Otherwise console players won’t be able to keep up!

You could tell this creates a pretty big implication for other games such as TOB or other future Valve titles. They could very well release a new version of TF2 itself, and for some reason, I could see something like that happening.
Also, it doesn’t matter whether the players use KB/Mouse or a controller. It all depends on the player. Most people are more comfortable using KB/M. Some like using controllers. It just depends on the person’s perspective of what fits them better. Me, I find that I can aim better with controller than KB/M. Usually because I’m more used to keeping my hands steady when I move my camera.
But yeah, KB/M is a better way of playing FPS games. Unless my controls are set to high sensitivity. :happy:
