For the ps3.

That's a bummer. I remember a Valve rep saying he wasn't too fond of the PS3, I wonder if the delay is due to a closer relationship to the PC and the 360? Or just that the PS3 development is just taking a little bit longer?

Your thoughts?

sorry if old.

If by saying "he wasn't too fond" you mean that he said it was trash then yes you're right.

Are you kidding?

Valve is one of the few companies that does almost everything right. Besides the port to the PS3 was outsourced to EA, If anyone is to blame for the delay it's the folks at EA.

No, I'm not, sadly... I'll probably still get Orange Box eventually though...

I don't think it matters much. We 360 and PCowners will play the game first. Unlike the Cows, I really don't think the PC being out first will detract from the eventual PS3 sales. If someone was going to get it for the PS3 before, they most likely still will. It's not like there are a lot of other PS3 games out there to compete with it.

Explain to me why you think Valve is a very "shady" company. I'm finding it difficult to understand that.

It's just not one of my favorite companies, based on their history, going back to the original Half-Life. Not a huge deal. Just not my favorite.

Valve isn't developing the Orange Box on PS3, EA is, but is being assisted by Valve in some ways, Valve themselves are working on the PC and 360 versions.

I guess I should have clarified. I could care less if any of the versions were delayed, my comments were not directly tied to the PS3 delay. It was just a general comment.

Newell's reason why he dislikes the PS3 most likely directly relates to this delay.. He has said it before that it is very hard to devolpe a game on that system compared to others.

Honestly, cows shouldn't feel too bad. They're still getting UT3 and that game looks like it'll own some souls.

didnt know ea was handling the ps3 one. looks like it would blow anyway, since ea has their hands on it. 360 wins another multiplat battle against the ps3.
