The Orange Box Patch In Detail, List Inside

PSX Extreme writes: "By now, if you're an owner of a PS3 copy of The Orange Box, you may have heard about a patch that was released earlier today. Perhaps you've already downloaded the patch but don't know what it does. Well, Electronic Arts has just issued word on all of the fixes that comes with this update, so take a look at the list below:

* Fixed a graphical issue whereby a player would have the explosion effect left on the end of their Rocket Launcher when attempting to Rocket Jump.

* Fixed a memory leak to improve single player stability."

Load of bull ! Where's my rumble ? Framerate problem solving ? Loading times everytime i die ??

Wasted my time ... ! Screw it !

I noticed very few frame rate drops on the PS3 version. What annoyed me was being kicked out of a match in Team Fortress after about 5 minutes.

Cynical-Gamerzus5877d ago

Judging by the comments..They need to make a patch for Valve and Gabe Knewl and Teach them how to Make Games for PS3 and stop with the dated PC engine ports...
Can you say new engine for PS3 or fade a way in Budget PC360 Lala land..=D

Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.

Skull5212013d ago

Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.

To not have another Left 4 Dead is straight up criminal.

How Valve released five of its greatest games in a single day

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.

Man 2007 was a great year for gaming.

OpenGL2378d ago

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.

AuraAbjure2378d ago

shut up valve....give me HL3....

FallenAngel19842386d ago

Back when Valve made a lot of great titles

-Foxtrot2385d ago

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.

Reefskye2384d ago (Edited 2384d ago )

Don't know what valve are going to do with Half Life after Mike Laidlaw posted the short version of Episode 3 in August and changed the names and genders.
