More Hints At Orange Box PS3 Patch
15
Ripten:
"Yep, Valve has finally broken its silence over the reportedly glitch-ridden Orange Box port to the Playstation 3, which has seen some of the most serene gamers embed their pad in the nearest wall in frustration.
It looks more likely when, in another thread over on Steam about The Orange Box's poor audio, a second Valve rep weighs in."

I've also bought it for the PC and I think this game was a little bit underrated. Everybody was talking about the GOTY but nearly nobody mentioned the orange Box. Every Ps3 owner who likes this genre should buy this game

4 - That is not much of a hint
So the basic code does not have features that the PS3 can take advantage of. When they add it, then all platforms including the PS3 can take advantage of it. How the optical connection code is going to improve the audio is a bit beyond me. If the audio is poor, then it is poor. Possibly for all platforms as it will be the same basis.
For the rest... not much of a hint here fellas. You don't just grab other peoples code and hack away. Especially if you are not focused on a platform like the PS3. Most probably just a bit of pressure. EA can most probably hire some more PS3 coders or outsource some of the improvements that they need.

Hopefully they can patch up the terrible loading times compared to the 360 version!

Valve's respond to the complain: "Incorrect. The PS3 version of TOB was developed by EA London."
How can Valve fix the PS3 problem? Valve does not even have any PS3 programmer in the company. Valve owner Gabe (a former Microsoft "millionaire" employee and a well-known PS3 hater) has already decided that he's not interested in making any game for PS3, so he has never hired any PS3 programmer or has his programmer learn how to code for the PS3.
In case you don't already know, the two founders of Valve were Microsoft employees when Microsoft was still a small company. When Microsoft went IPO, they became millionaires and decided to start their own company to make games -- with Bill Gates' personal blessing. Gabe and his co-founder still regularly hang out with his "old pals" at Microsoft and play golf together.
Do you seriously think Gabe would "betray" all his friends at Microsoft and start supporting the PS3 over 360? That would be a betrayal. He will lose all his golfing pals.

Valve had any hand in the port of The Orange Box for the PS3 their name is still on the box. They need to be active in fixing this problem and avoiding anymore in the future.

9 - Blah
5 days of glitch free TOB on PS3. Now when i try to quit the game to go back to the XMB, the PS3 either freezes with the "please wait" screen, or makes two beeps and resets itself. Also on portal i paused the game in an elevator and when i un paused it i was on top of the elevator... it was cool for a second >.> blah....
TOB was ruined with horrid and annoying random loading times and the 20 second respawn in TF2 is too much for me, imo.. but I cant quit TF2 at all x.x so fun, i love being a spy

10 - hope they can patch
the boring gameplay out the orange box. I finished all the single player games, with no glitch other then the slow loading (5-10 seconds).

I usually don't condone privacy, but after his kind words about the PS3, I suggest all of you just download a torrent version of the PC's orange box. There, I said it.
