Steamworks will never get on the Xbox 360?

According to the latest information disclosed by Valve, the PS3 version of the forthcoming Portal 2 will introduce for the first time in the video game, some features specific to Steamworks. And the Xbox 360? The Microsoft console will never benefit from this service? "This will represent only our first step," said Valve's Chet Faliszek the microphones in our network.

"Sony has been a fantastic partner to work in this direction and this was only our first experiment in this direction. What does the future hold? We'll see." Last January Gabe Newell, Valve's boss said: "We have promised the users that the Sony PS3 will be the best console version of Portal 2" and judging from the features of which will benefit from this version is really hard to blame him: Hotfix , cros-platform, Could saving and chat with users who have PC and Mac versions of Beyond the fact that Valve has also clarity about the possibility that user-generated content could be distributed equally across all versions of the product .

"You can not just download the maps on their PS3," explained Faliszek, "and this confusion arose because of our lack of clarity about the difference between what we want and what we can actually achieve." "To ensure that users are able to download the contents of another user simply by connecting to it we should do something special.

We are still working closely with Sony to find a solution that would satisfy all about." And what about the Xbox 360 can still hope to be given free access to user-created content? "Unlike what happens through Steam, it would be impossible to include the contents directly in the package.

However, there is still nothing definitive even for the PS3 edition."
