Orange Box (PS3) Might Be 'Unplayable'?
By: Nikhil Singh   |   Nov 26, 2007
If you’ve been looking forward to playing the Orange Box on your beloved PS3, you might be in for a big disappointment. At least that’s what 1up.com’s preview says. Here it is in their words:

"After spending a significant amount of time with a near final version of the PS3 game, it's apparent that this version suffers from a number of technical flaws, which at best merely hinder game play and at worst make the experience downright unplayable."


At yesterday's PlayStation Experience event at Taj Land’s End, Mumbai (which rocked by the way; we’ll have an article up to tell you what went down at the event), we had a chance to get our hands on an early build of Portal and it didn’t frame that badly. The textures did seem a little off though, but I guess they'll fix that in the final build.

For those of you that don’t already know, the Orange Box is being ported for the PS3 by EA's internal studio since Valve didn’t want anything to do with it. If you remember, Valve Software’s founder Gabe Newell called the PS3 "a waste of everybody's time"; I guess his attitude’s reflected in the kind of treatment the Orange Box’s getting on the console.

I Repeat The PS3 is a WASTE OF TIME. I will not have my name on such a piece of shit.
Gabe Newell @ Dec 21, 2007
OMG what the bloody hell, he called the "ps3 a waste of time" so an indirect statement made to all ps3 owners "to go suck ass"....

oh mann, this guy thinks mighty just because his game is doing well, don't forget the sheer power of sony you dumbass, it could probably kill your so called half-life to no-life if it wants, any time any day,
they have the money, all sony needs to do is to really get some "exclusive top notch innovative kick ass" developing teams, which can royally screw valve and xbox360 together....

so Gabe Newell, wait till you see a classic going to be released by sony, just like sony publishes the gran turismo series

ps3 will surpass the xbox360 one day, and that day will be when you would be begging in front of sony co-op just to release it in a ps3

I heard it will be available for PS3 4 days before Christmas from a Wal-Mart employee.

Well, there are issues on installing Orange box on PC. I got this pack and the Sony DVD RW won't even recognize if there's a DVD in the drive!!!! On the net, I found that this Orange Box DVD's have some issues with Sony DVD drives (wow!) and the solution is to keep popping the DVD in and out of the drive till it recognizes it (lol) but it does work.

I played Half life 2 in pc 2 years ago because it wasn't out for any console. It's bad that gabe newell thinks that way because he's going to loose consumer like myself. eventhogh I like Half life and I've been waiting for it to come out for the ps3 with this kind of mentality he has and the importance to the game for all of us with a ps3 let me know that it won't be woth buy it. there are many other games that will keep me playing as much as the orange (crappy) box. I was game of the year once but it doesn't have get to you head like that, PS3 is gaining ground and you might regret saying those comments later when it comes back to bite you in the @ss.

Gabe Newell can eat it, I'm not buying that piece of crap even if the reviews were stellar. His 'I'm too afraid of change' attitude, is bad for all gamers, not just PS3 owners. This flop only proves that they don't care about their consumers, only money.

What part of PRE RELEASE do you not understand..
Mark @ Nov 26, 2007
Gabe Newell called the PS3 "a waste of everybody's time" Well to Gate Newell your games suck and f*k you. Only dumb ass peoples will buy your suck ass game Gate Newell and EA you too. None of your games and EA games ever catch my eyes. Your gamess are not worth wasting my money, I'd rather waste my cash on Mario's Brother and Zelda. Stupid ass developers.
