PS3 Orange Box AKA Garbage in Orange Plastic

Why "DO NOT" blame this on EA?

Infinity Ward is a shining example of why you can get anything to run well on PS3. Bethesda did it too, so did whoever produced DiRT (Codemasters?). Not even mentioning PS3 exclusives like (drool) Uncharted or Ratchet and Clank.

The precedent has been set, we know that devs CAN and DO make strong PS3 versions of games. It's a matter of whether they will put the time in. If they don't put the time in, we won't buy the games. If we don't buy the games, they won't put the time in. That's all it is, a catch 22. I have a PC, which is the only real place to play Orange Box anyway, and the platform that I own it for. It doesn't affect me getting to enjoy this great game, but it is pretty suckfest that they couldn't bother to make a decent version for PS3-only gamers. I would have probably bought it for PS3 as well if it was good. Hear that Valve? EA? Some of us out there will buy your game twice if you do it right.

Stop being a fanboy Jive. Sonic sucks.

From 1up preview: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3164539

Here's one of several damning quotes regarding this port: "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."

Cows DO NOT blame this on EA.

Now discuss.

This is so ****ing hilarious. PS3 owners have had to wait for months now and they're going to get a sub-par version. And to those saying console OB don't matter because the PC is superior. Link because you're so wrong.

[QUOTE="nervmeister"]

[QUOTE="Forza_2"][QUOTE="nervmeister"]Onlyafter how you elaborate on how COD4 and Assassin's Creed (both multi-plats)failed so miserably on the PS3.mingo123

Was Call of Duty 4 "substandard" on PS3? No!

Was Assassin's Creed "substandard" on PS3? No!

Was Oblivion "substandard" on PS3? Hell no!

Perhaps the only multiplat that was substandard on PS3 was FEAR. Yet 1up talks like that syndrome followed PS3 and infected the rest of these with mediocrity. And they couldnt be more wrong. Get it?

oblivion was released 6+ months after 360 release so it shouldnt matter....still it was exactly same....AC on 360 has WAY less problems then ps3 version...ask all ps3 AC owners and they will be crying about bug....yet 360 AC owners like meplayed and finished the game with no bugs detected....COD4 again best on 360...even IW admitted COD4 multiplayer on ps3 is broken buh buh buh teh free!?!?!

they also admitted that the ps3 version looked better and had better multiplayer, and ive heard that the 360 version has just as many bugs,but ironically the ps3 version freezes which the 360 version doesnt...the whole system does

nice self-ownage

Luckily I have both consoles and will buy the multi plats for the 360 only. I've compared alot of games and the 360 version always looks better (the exception is oblivion) I've had the ps3 for almost a year and it's only had one game worth a buy,rfom. And it's graphically weak.carsales

Yes, it's graphically weak, games like Uncharted look horrible.

:lol:

Yeah, it's ironic. That's the whole point, smart guy.

uncharted looks like a Disney ride, everything is shiny and plastic looking, terrible foliage models, 2D plants and grass. Visually its one of the most inconsistent titles I've ever played.

and to think, the same fanboys that knocked the shiny-ness and plastic-ness of Kameo are saying Uncharted is the best game out there visually.

you're just one big can of irony aren't you :)

oh, sorry, i forgot to put my mind-reading cap on.

because, y'know, a post written like that without any indication of sarcasm / irony that basically attacks the TC should be interpreted as ironic by all.

nice try, self-ownage returned to sender, nice attempt at covering your hypocrisy.

please sig it, condense it if you like :) it's absolutely true.

only the most hardcore of cows are touting uncharted as a graphical wonder, the rest that actually game on other systems know it's far from it :)

Don't blame EA? Why? Everyone assumed that EA would screw it up. They did. No surprise. It's sad that they did, though, since it's obvious from games like Uncharted that the game could have been great.osirisomeomi

Didn't EA just publish it? :?

Yeah, GameTrailers are hardcore cows because they called it the best-looking console game out there. :lol:

Here's a shovel, keep digging!

Oh, and there's a problem with your logic there, bud. "The rest that actually game on other systems" has no bearing in your case because you don't game on the PS3. You are slamming a game you've probably never even seen outside of screenshots or you would know how utterly gorgeous it is.

"Sorry, 3picuri3's profile is set to private" though, so I'm sure you rated it a 1.0 :lol:

EA port it. Also, who cares about Orange box on console? Best on PC.King_of_Sorrow

valve spent less devolpment time on the ps3 because plain and simple they don't really like the ps3.briney1819

well to be specific Valve spent ZERO time developing for the PS3 - the entire port is being handled by EA.
