    Orange Box sucks for PS3

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

    Portal is the only thing that actually 100% playable in the package. I assume this is the result of Valve not doing the port, it was a team at EA. so yay.

            If Gabe Newell cant get off his lazy fat ass and port the game the right way, then i'm not going to give him my money, at all. I was very interested in getting the PS3 version of the Orange Box, but if it really is going to be that bad, i will not purchase it. There is no reason for ANY multiplatform PS3 game to have any significantly larger problems over their PC or 360 counterparts anymore. Especially not after CoD4, which EVERYONE who isnt biased, says that the PS3 and 360 versions are identical, and that is how it should be, ATLEAST.

              Doesn't Gabe Newell flat-out hate next(now)-gen systems anyway?

                I think so, but he hates on the PS3 even more, because it isnt plug and play practically like the 360 and PC are.

                He wants all his crap easy, so that he doesnt have to get out of his chair and actually try hard. He just wants to press two buttons and eat ho-ho's all day (and that isnt entirely an exaggeration).

                  If that's a jab at PC gaming, I don't understand. The games were MADE for the PC anyway. I honestly dunno why they ported the game to consoles, if only to broaden their appeal. Why don't you get it for PC? I am.

                  And isn't the PS3 supposed to be hell to design/program for too? Thus the surplus of crappy ports. If it's that hard they shouldn't have bothered porting Orange Box.

                    It(the PS3) must not be all that hard, cause Call of Duty 4 is a fantastic game. Oh Magus, I'll NEVER hate on PC gaming, i've got way too many PC games to hate on PC gaming, BUT developing games for PC's is actually very easy except for programming for the lowest common denominator in hardware.

                    The reason i dont want to buy it for the PC is because i prefer to be able to play my games relaxing on my bed, instead of sitting at my desk. I dont want to get the 360 version, because if my 360 ever dies, i may not buy a new one. And i'd prefer to be able to sell only a few games, not a ton, so i only have the 360 for exclusives.

                      The PS3 uses a completely different programming code from the previous PS1 and PS2 from what I heard, so programmers that were making games for PS2 didnt have any idea what to do when they got the PS3.

                      Thats what I heard, I may be wrong though.

                      forgot to add:they shouldnt even put out games that has known issues like that

                        C'mon, Valve aren't the only ones to have problems w/ PS3...I mean, I remember our programmers were gouging their eyes out trying to do the ps3 port of Saint's Row, and then it was handed off to another branch of THQ...we saw that ended up.

                        Sony should find some way to ease the pain of developers...or maybe that's too late to do.

                          360 is the easiest to program for. The only reason it's easier than the PC is because you don't have to worry about all the combinations of hardware that could cause graphical errors and bugs. For example, the same shader runs completely different on an nVidia card and an ATI card. In our small five month project we had the same shader act entirely different on three, very similar machines. One would have the light randomly revolving. One would be exactly as it was designed. The other had a weird effect if you turned the camera fast.

                          Also, how could they even accept something like this as a dev team? It's downright shameful shipping a console product that has frame rate issues described as a slide show.

                            Newell says the "PS3 is a waste of everyone's time", and that's the reason for this bad port. Valve's programmers are some of the best in the business, if they did the port (like they did for 360), it would have been fine. instead, they handed it off to some EA team that obviously has no idea what they're doing. They just don't care about PS3 owners, so I'm sure many PS3 owners are just going to stop caring about Valve. If you don't like a console, that's fine. but don't punish your ****ing fans! any self-respecting developer would be irate that their game is running this badly and would never, ever let it be released. Hopefully Valve will step in and either force a delay until they fix it, or just cancel the damn thing completely.

                            and Jeroak is right: COD4 proved that there's no excuse for bad PS3 ports any more. that game is pushing some insane graphics and code, and the 360 and PS3 versions are identical. if such a complex, cutting-edge game can be on both systems without problems, no one else has any excuse.

                            I wanted the Orange Box, but there's no way I'm throwing sixty dollars at a **** port.
