The popular first person shooter is headed to consoles in new-and-improved form in 2012.
I’ve played a ton of video games, but if I had to choose I’d have to say that no other first-person-shooter even comes close to Counter-Strike: Source. It’s the perfect game. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine how Valve could improve upon it at all.
But the Bellevue, Washington based game maker is going to try. In 2012 Valve will release an updated version of the popular online shooter, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or CS GO, not just to PC but also to Xbox 360 and PS3.
Judging by the below video, not a whole lot has changed – which isn’t a bad thing at all. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it isn’t a terrible motto when it comes to games like Counter-Strike, which have enormous followings and a serious mod community to keep things fresh.
The user interface and many of the maps are going to see some minor tweaks, and graphics will be updated (though not a ton apparently.) But the major change is the release to consoles. Will the game-play translate to Xbox 360 and PS3? Obviously there are many schools of thought when it comes to shooters. Plenty of people swear by mouse-and-keyboard. Others attest to the incomparable power of the console controller. Either way, I’m pretty sure the game will work just fine ported over to the consoles.
Now Valve just needs to send me a beta download code and all will be good and right with the universe.
