Kids Games, MMO From Valve?
Valve may have become stereotyped due to the fact that all they have made are first-person shooters. However, the company hopes to move far away from the genre, with Doug Lombardi saying to CVG that they would like to make a game for kids.
“There’s a lot of people at Valve who are parents and would love to make a game for kids,” he said. “We all play the Wii a lot and we think that the proper way for Valve to approach the Wii would be to make something cool designed specifically for it.”
He hurriedly points out that it is not an announcement, but that it is a desire to do “something for kids, do something on the Wii.”
How about a Valve-developed MMO? “Gabe [Newell] is a huge fan of MMORPGs and he’s always wanted to make one, but that’s a big risk to venture out on,” continued Lombardi.
“I think at some point you’ll see us move a little further out of our comfort zone than Portal was, but it’s not going to be this year or next.”
