I dont know....it have to be flawless for me to overlook gabes ignorance

I cant really blame EA on this one yeah they give bad ports but really Gabe Newell is a fat f*** and i think its getting to his brain. Honestly you want to bash the playstation, a console that has sold upwards of 200 millions units? If i were him that would mean great money for him, well to bad for you Gabe keep making enemies.

dont buy ea games for the love of god let them bankrupt, they are a desease in the videogame world.Incompetent fools cant even make a decent port.As^&(les

My god, If they were smart they would just throw the project away becuase I can bet that no PS3 owner is going to want that stupid game anyways. Why would a PS3 owner want to buy something from someone that disses the PS3? Why? Its not right!

EA is only publishing the game. They never put there dirty hands on it guys. You really think valve would let them touch there prized ips i dont think so.

psn id: gingo... it was bad enough it is getting made by valve in the first place (i hate them ) but after fobbing it off to EA it just sunk to even lower standards now i wont even contemplate buying this game now

Its to bad that someone who offers such an amazing game is completely blinded by his own ignorance. That being sad it shouldnt be what u think of a system or a company that stops u from bring your product to their consumers...... it should be your legacy to want to bring your product to as many customers as possible to proove your product. So basically gabe doesnt value our opinion as consumers so f**k him lol

Congrats, EA, on making yet another pathetic port for the PS3... You lazy jerks can keep your Maddens and Need for Speeds, I'm going to play something GOOD like Uncharted and Ratchet.

oops i think i just striked it off my list with a pen :P haha.

Below 30 frames per second is fine... as long as the 36* version does the same. if it dosent Every PS3 owner with even the remote desire for this game should DEMAND that it perform better because we all know the system is capable of better.

EA sucks. But I thinks its kinda funny that, since this is a ps3 site, that Mr. Jackson left out the portion of the article where the IGN lady said that the ps3 version has slightly superior lighting and textures. Not much I know, but you would think it would atleast have been mentioned.

It’s very pc if you know what i mean, it's a brilliant game on the xbox 360 because i have finished it but i'm not to sure on ps3 has ea have been doing it, my guess it's a complete mess, at least valve did the xbox 360 version and a good job too, but ea not sure?

I was thinking about buying this game awhile back,but with all the technical problems and ps3 disses i wouldn't touch this game with a ten foot pole.

i dont get really. valve has made like two games in 5!!!!! years!!!! and they still cant get it right? is it just me or are these the laziest people on the face of the earth. Insomnac makes game every year and each and every one rocks!

I'm done with VALVe anyways, I bought this for the PC it BLOWS. I hated it, Episode Two was the most enthraling thing inside it. VALVe and their steam network has lost its credability all it does is ruin computers.

Don't you think Valve would issue some patches for that game?

"Your console is waste of time but buy my product" yeah right Gabe ... You think I'm going to purchase your product after you insult my console of choice? You sir are a fool!

I think this is all part of Newell's part to prove himself right and prove that the "PS3 is a waste of everyone's time". Think about it. If he just throws the development to some other team, not even bothering with checking whether it's up to the "quality" associated with Valve, and because of those glitches the game doesn't do well, he just proved himself right.

HelI no, I'm not even thinking about getting this. You don't half *** something and try to get me to put my money in it. Whether the problems are fixed or not, I'm not fcking get this piece of crap.

Ha ha ha ha ha, it was never on my list to begin with. forget orange box, it should be called "garbage box"

The game is not worth it never was on my list

There is no excuse to why the game is running slowly on the ps3, it is really pathetic how EA has been performing lately, the comany has grown too large and has lost the imagination and skill which smaller companies have.  Whats sad is that EA has the resources and money to make really spectacular games and if they wanted to they could have made the ps3 version of Orange Box superior to any other version, but theres just no effort in any of the work they do.  EA should stop making games and just publish games instead.

If is flawless there a chance 2 buy it.

yo is it true that mr. bear tits newell didn't have anything to do with that half dead crap being ported to the ps3, but it was a team of interns @ EA? Wow he really does hate the ps3... dang doode, i won't be grabbing that dung filled game anyway!

I'm mad that other game developer company that have less of a well known name and less games than EA can make PS3 games with very little to no problems but EA still has a hard time making games for PS3. That just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. EA is an extremely big name in the gaming industry and they can't make games as good as smaller developers such as infinitely ward who had no trouble making one of the best FPS games such as COD4 for both PS3 and 360 with NO TROUBLES WHATSOEVER. In fact they said that making COD4 for PS3 was EASY!!!!! Why does EA still have troubles?

What I think is really pathetic, is now they're trying to convince PS3 owners that a framerate below 30 fps isn't all that bad. Seriously, how stupid do they think we are?

Just get it on PC - I love Team Fortress 2.

I've finshed half-life 2 years ago,  the stroy is ok,  I couldn't see many people having much fun using a console controller, as whole level parts are all shift 2-3 boxes around in water/toxic slime to stand on to get to the other side, plus have bad guys jumping out from the water/slime you'd be murdered on the spot.

playing this on a console with the whole pyshics thing would be pretty bad at best.

I have The Orange Box on the PC, and its a great collection of games, too bad Valve couldn't be a*sed to port this to the PS3 themselves.  The engine is 4 years old (albeit with some improvements) so even if you have an old PC it should run with decent settings, and fps controls on the PC are better anyway (imo of course).

it seems that the ps3 has lots of game with this issues of poor frame rate in there games, or the graphics are not as detailed as the 360 version..    I think the major reason is that just like intel had a high powered cpu the took one of there processor and cut the cache sixe in half called teh Celeron, maybe that is why the ps3 is sturggling so much when it comes to the graphics fps.  Like the old war with intel and amd. Intel had the mhz but Amd still won..  It all comes down to how the games look and play at the end of the day, and 360 has been performing well at.

Valve and EA suck, they can keep it, they diss the PS, make sloppy games and then expect us to buy it. I think that we should all agree to never buy any EA games. Lets hurt them and make them think.

Is it too much to ask to have the gaming running as well on the PS3?

@tom

Yes they should have mentioned that PS3 version has better lighting and textures. Don't forget that IGN previewed it, so how old is the build IGN played? If it has superior textures now, will they improve the frame-rates before it goes gold? I'll wait for reviews from various sites as one can say the frame-rate is good while another says it drops below 30fps.

 

But this is from Hilary and don't like his reviews, you'd think he was on the 360 team, and yes Hilary is a guy.

Hey it's none of these issues it's simple ea hasn't got any developers that have learned to program on the ps3 they will eventually crack it like epic have and infinity ward it's just other developers learn to utilise it first, theres nothing wrong with the cell processor give ea a year because after all you can't expect every developer to get this brand new technology right in it's first year why do you think valve passed this project on not to get RED FACED because they would struggle with it and show them up, but give it a year once every developer get used to this technology and then you’l see the power of ps3
