Orange Box for PS3


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just got myself a shiny new PS3 last weekend. I picked up a copy of Folklore which I am really enjoying, but I want to pick up an FPS.

I was seriously considering the Orange Box, but I've heard a lot of bad things (load times, low FPS, lag).

I saw they put out at least one patch, but it looked more like a TF2 patch than an orange box one.

So, can someone who owns the game tell me if the playability is as bad as everyone says?

Has anything really been fixed?

Thanks.

The Orange Box is a great game. The patch fixes mostly TF2 bugs but it does fix a memory leak in the Half-Life game(s).

In my experience the game is great and it seems better than my Xbox 360 version.

There was nothing wrong with it in the first place. There are a few framerate issues, but they are quite scare. Load times are a little high for TF2, but nothing really hampers playability. I bought it for my PS3 because my PC can't really handle it, and I have no regrets.

to be honest I did a direct comparison with my 4 year old PC and thought the PS3 version was far more ugly, just not worth it.

If you really wanna play orange box I suggest spending less on the PC version

its never gonna looks as good as the PC since its a port. it also depends on your computer specs, ps3 settings, hdtv settings etc.

The PS3 version is good. Get it.

So there was/is some problems after all then ;)

man i thought patch helped but it did not.. Orange Box is the first game i am going to sell in my collection.

I do not recommend this game at all...

It is fun but the framerate issues just get at you.

Episode Two has severe frame rate problems, sometimes during intense firefights the frame rate drags horribly. I mostly got The Orange Box on the PS3 for TF2, and it's a really good game on the PS3. Frame rate issues aren't as bad as Episode Two, but it still has a few chugs once in a while during intense fights. I wouldn't get The Orange Box at full price, not worth it for a lazy port to be honest.

Ok excuse my mixing up of tenses. There are slight framerate and load time issues but nothing that should stop a person from buying the game. There. :p

Thanks for all your replies.

For those of you who said get the PC version; I sold my windows box to get the PS3 (gonna build a new one soon) and I'm all linux for the time being.

I've decided to pass on the orange box due to technical problems and just go for CoD4... Thanks
