HL2 orange box LAGS for the PS3

http://www.gamesradar.com/us/ps3/game/news/article.jsp?sectionId=1006&articleId=20070829144628520031&releaseId=2007040612383336039

this is just crazy as powerful as the ps3 is the source engine that runs these games LAGS !!!!!!!!! LOL.

i find this really funny because any pc can run the source engine on high and its a 3 year old engine now with a few upgrades done to it.

Seriously this is just stupid, its not even a demanding engine, and don't say lazy developers and that kind of nonsense, because this engine is not demanding at all !!!!!!!! it just shows its hard to make games on.

Is this like that real credible article a few weeks back saying PS3 was delayed for Stranglehold? I'll believe it when I see it.The_Crucible

Gamesradar isn't credible? :?

This that what I said? Sure, I'll say that after this article. People get rumors and report them. It doesn't make them more true.

Valve outsourced the game to EA, since they don't want to make games for the PS3 (or something similar).

This is no indication of how powerful the PS3 is, or how good Valve are as developers - it's just a side-effect of Sony's pre- PS3-launch arrogance (which, I'd assume, is the cause of Valve's hatred of Sony).

It probably will be perfectly fine come launch day. But yeah the source engine wasn't designed to use the Cell/RSX architechture so they would have to make lots of changes, unlike with 360's PC in a box design. There was also a recent interview saying they aren't using ANY of the SPUs.... so it's not like this has anything to do with power, just developement problems.Lazy_Boy88

Well...ugh... no.. The RSX is essentially a 7800 GTX with the bit bandwidth cut in half (to 128-bit) and some tweaks with the memory. So it sorta was designed for the RSX, but not so much the Cell. You can't say anything about the 360 being a PC in a box design either because the Cell uses 1 PPC core + 6 SPEs, while the Xbox 360 uses 3 PPC cores. That's very hypocritical of you.

Haven't they already said that the PS3 development is behind the 360 one? The game isn't being released untill a few months after the 360 version as well. Maybe they just need extra time to iron the creases out.Tamashii-sosaku

"They" (Valve) are not working on it - the PS3 port has been outsourced to EA...who may or may not be able to optimise the game properly.

Also, Valve will NEVER make a Wii game...ever.

Wrong. Gabe Newell loves the Wii - it's his console of choice, apparently - and he recently stated that not having a Wii game in the works in a serious flaw in Valve's plan.

the bottom line is the ps3 has more than enough power to run this game fine without lag, and the engine is not very demanding.... seriously this engine is coming to 4 years old now.

so what happened to the HL2 using 94% of 360's power?
is teh cell not helping?

My guess is that the source engine is not design for the PS3Lonelynight

Nothing really is,It's about time that Sony realises that they can't produce potentially powerful but awfully complicated hardware in their consoles,they might of gotten away with it in the ps2 (because they had a monopoly) but now that Microsoft is a real competitor this gen,who can blame developers for doing "Lazy" ps3 ports,why should they work overtime on the ps3 version when it doesn't even have the majority of the market share.

Hmm, a bit misleading headline, it doesn't say anything about bad framerates, but tells about it being released later due to a different dev. "Presumably the PS3 version is releasing later due to it being developed at EA rather than Valve Software." I don't really see anything weird about that, but I guess that could be called lag as well.EntwineX

Perhaps he meant "lags behind".

Didn't Valve say they're using 94% of the 360's CPU for the Orange Box...while not even a single SPU of the Cell for the Ps3?-D3MO-

Maybe. As soon as that was published, the article was removed from the website (PSU).

What a shocker.

Why ppl think that the 360 and the PC have the same desing? The 360's three proccessor are the same as the ppe in the ps3. The both processors are based on the powerpc processor.

The video card in the 360 is not like the computer's video card. This card has only 10 MB of ram on the card and the rest is on the ram. While the ps3 has the same design as computer's video cards, where all the memory is on the video card.

So I dont understand why ppl think that the 360 and the PC are the same thing. Xbox 1 was pratically a PC u can run windows on it, but the 360 is not the same a PC.

it makes sense the PC they will have no problem to make the game, 360 will be a little work but not much because the 360 is like a computer and the ps3 is way differant. its understandable they need a little more time. and i also herd something about the 360 version running at 30fps and the ps3 at 60fps... but who knows if that was true
