Team Fortress 2 Could Have Vista Vs. Xbox 360, Says Valve

Just some time ago, Games for Windows was announced which will connect Windows gamers with Xbox 360 players in cross-platform matches using a single service. Now Valve has dropped a hint that Team Fortress 2 could well exploit that.

In an interview with GameInformer, Valve Designer Robin Walker said, “We’d love to, technically from our side, there’s no reason why we can’t. It really comes down to knowing Microsoft has announced that Shadowrun is going to do that, but they have not let anyone outside of Microsoft, I mean we do not have an API or anything. From our perspective, we’d like to do it all. We would love to have the Xbox and PC play together, and technically, from our side, there is no technical reason why you cannot, the engine is the same, the network they use is the same. It really comes down to negotiations with Microsoft.”

Team Fortress 2 is expected to release in winter 2007 as part of bundles on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The cross-platform matches would be amazing and one can wonder if Valve could do something to bring Counter-Strike to the Xbox 360, that would be the ultimate cross-platform match!
