"In an
interviewearlier this year, Valve Software founder Gabe Newell referred to PlayStation 3 as "a waste of everybody's time." This attitude shows in the development structure
of The Orange Box. While the PC and Xbox 360 versions were handled by Valve, the PS3 port was handed off to an internal team at EA. Originally scheduled to be released day and date with the PC and 360 versions, the PS3 Orange Box has been delayed until December. PS3 owners, forced to watch from the sidelines as their gaming kindred inundates them with tales of Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal, continue to wait patiently for their chance to take a stroll through Valve's universe.
After spending a significant amount of time with a near final version of the PS3 game, it's apparent that this version suffers from a number of technical flaws, which at best merely hinder game play and at worst make the experience downright unplayable. Framerate is a consistent issue throughout the Half-Life series of games included in The Orange Box. One moment you'll be cruising through the game at 30 frames per second and the next you'll be enjoying a slideshow of series protagonist Gordon Freeman cruising down the river. However, Portal suffers from no such technical hiccups and is on its way to being a pitch-perfect port of the spatial reasoning exercise. Due to a server connection issue, we were unable to get any time with Team Fortress 2. With the clock ticking, EA has a limited amount of time to fix the glaring issues which plague this port of The Orange Box. Unfortunately, it seems that, once again, PlayStation 3 owners are doomed to suffer through another substandard version of a multiplatform game."
now, its not like i trust 1-up.. i dont. everything is with a pinch of salt..
but why would you want to destroy a game via a preview unless it wasnt true? but then why would you show your game off to a site knowing it was rubbish?
Valve..EA.. i feel that this is indeed goodbye.
if this is all true and OB is a shambles then i really do feel that the gigs up with most sensible PS3 owners.
looks like UT3 has taken place in the must have FPS's on my list.
such a shame, really is. i kinda hope someone buys me Orange box for Xmas, lol.. i really do want it, but i refuse to spend money on a game from EA where they could of done better. i know its Valve, but EA and Valve are suffereing from the same anal probe where the PS3 dev is concerned.
