EA has just revealed in its latest European release schedule that Half Life 2: The Orange Box on Playstation 3 has been delayed again. The Xbox 360 and PC versions have been in stores since early October, but the Playstation 3 version would release 'a few weeks after that', according to Valve.
In the latest trailers Valve promised that the PS3 version would be in stores in time for the holidays. Apparently Valve ran in to some more trouble with the Playstation 3 as Orange Box on the Playstation 3 is now scheduled for release on January 17, 2008. A specific reason for this delay was not given.
The Xbox One Backward Compatible versions of Xbox 360 titles Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Portal are now enhanced for Xbox One X, Microsoft announced.
Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.
The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.
And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.
Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.
The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.
Robin Walker discusses the impact of Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more.
Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.
At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.
ea suck
No doubt this is Microsft doing...... Who knows. but all of these games getting delayed just seems weird and after all ms have been paying companies for exlusivity .
And EA is only company streesing how hard it is to programme for PS3. i dont think its whats hard about it, but they aint familiar with it But what do i know
But this may be good. It just means PS3 has killer 2008.
Whoops another delay on the Delaystation 3? Gosh.
BluRay movies are still coming right on scheduled dates I hear.
sucks. I might go buy the 360 version now. But it might work out seeing as I come back from overseas in january, but still, Ea = sh**house.
I mean seriously, Valve i swear why did they have to palm off the ps3 port to EA? Like seriously? Anyone......ANYONE but EA.
The 360 version is looking mighty delicious right now.....
Bloody EA.
PS3 fans should all buy it when its released, and not just ignore it because its also available on 360. Like they do with so many multiplatform games.
