It's to bad the Cows can't play The Orange Box yet LOL!

I've been playing this game non-stop for the past day, and I have to say it is down right amazing. The amount of detail that goes into every level is astounding. With Portal and Team Fortress packed in, this is one of the best deals I have ever had with a game purchase. I just figured I would come by and rub it in the Cows faces that the can't play this game until 12/11/07.:lol: Since Valve(the devs)refused to port it to the PS3 and EA took the reins you know they will manage to screw up something in the game. :lol:

Ill rub it into it does suck for teh cows plus whats worse is valve says it wont be as optimised on the ps3 as it is on PC and 360 and the fact valve wont even touch a ps3 says alot to... sorry cows gotta wait 2 months for a striped down version of a game we already have

vavle just didn't know what they were doing. i mean come on how could they not get this game running perfectly on 360? i bet the ps3 versionwill be a perfect transition with no frame rate problems.-Renegade

PS3 only owners better pick this game up in November and not look past it.:xBioShockOwnz

Don't worry, it's on my must-buy list.

Nope, wrong. It's not that they lack the talent, they just don't feel like hassling themselves over the complicated architecture, so they let the EA messups do it instead.

what are these framrate issues u speak of it? cause it stuters when it saves??? most games do that.....other then that orange box runs like a champ on my 360.......

I'm a PS3 owner and I'm playing it on my 7 year old pc atm....Spag1091

How does it run? Because I buy all my mulitplat games for the 360 - my graphics card is kind of old (geforce 6600)

I'm a PS3 owner and I'm playing it on my 7 year old pc atm....Spag1091

at 4 frames per second im sure...... my pc is only 3 years old and i constintly upgrade it and i still only run it 90fps maxed.....

Maybe they should have had Insomniac port it to the PS3. A developer who knows how to work with the PS3 hardware. ;) EA is going to jack it up. Just look at Madden 08 and all their other PS3 games.

Did you really have to edit your post to get that anti-Xbox 360 and anti-Valve sentence in there?

Anyways, there are no framerate problems on my Xbox 360 with The Orange Box. Can you prove firsthand that you've played it?

I seriously dont think john carmack was missing the point when he said the cell is a disaster to work on and that the lack of VRAM makes it so they are always crunching the textures in RAGE to a lower res on the ps3 version:roll:

Yet I can give you a bunch of multiplatform games that were delayed on the console. The Cell and its 7 SPE's is an absolute pain for developers. I cannot believe you're questioning Valve's greatness as a developer. Truly remarkable.

Not so much their talent, but laziness.

When you have Tecmo and Ubisoft stating the PS3 is not as hard to dev for than some other devs are saying (not to mention seeing how fantastic Infinity Ward has COD 4 running on PS3), it brings into question Gabe Newell's decision to outsource PS3 Orange Box version to EA UK.

It's not like Valve hasn't worked closely with Sony on nightmarish architecture before (see Half-Life for PS2).

well i really wasn't paying attention anyway we were talking about half life... i really don't know why you brought this up anyway how about we wait for this game to be released before we start bashing the ps3 versions? just a thought.

Honestly, owning a 360 I can say you shouldn't have made this thread. I got TOB as a present on 360 and purchased it on PC as well because of the community support (maps, etc...) it will get free of charge. One thing that is obvious from the first time you play the title on 360 is that this game is clearly created with the PC in mind. So take into account that PS3 has KB/M support and no dedicated servers, I kind of feel like 360 owners could possibly be getting the weakest version of all 3 consoles. I've read what Gabe said about the PS3 RAM so I can't conclude yet. But it seems like a strong possiblility.

Regardless, there is nothing wrong with owning this game on any platform. It has great value and is a top notch game. TF2 is just a bit laggy sometimes on XBL and the controls don't feel completely natural.

Then apparently you're not a cow.

I think we have someone who likes the Playstations the most, but can deal with other stuff. Thought of that?

I've been playing this game non-stop for the past day, and I have to say it is down right amazing. The amount of detail that goes into every level is astounding. With Portal and Team Fortress packed in, this is one of the best deals I have ever had with a game purchase.

DarthKalo

for one I have all three consoles so whatever. But also ps3 owners have more games to be excited about than the orange box. Plus that workes better on the pc the console version does not seem that good. PS3 owners have games like uncharted, GT5, R&C, LBP and MGS4 to look forward to to name a few. plus there are some games on the 360 to look forward to. But Personally I know which console I will be using 99% of the time this and next year. THE PS3.

I would not get jelous of that game. I am mostly looking forward to UT3 which looks AWSOME and R&C. have fun with half life, tell me how long it takes before you get bored of it. Plus I have warhawk to fill my multiplayer needs.
