PS3 Version of Postal 3 Delayed

While the PC and Xbox 360 iterations of Postal III were tentatively slated for release in Q2 2009, Jaret noted that those two editions are now more likely to arrive in "mid-to-late 2009."

However, he was unable to provide an estimated release date for the PS3 version, attributing the uncertainty to technical concerns in utilizing the game's licensed Source engine on the platform.

Only one game utilizing Valve's Source engine technology, its mega-compilation The Orange Box, has been released on PS3. While the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the title were developed internally at Valve, the PS3 port was outsourced to EA UK, and was widely chastised for its performance issues compared to the other editions.

1 - Well

Nowadays I dont think it is alright to delay a Ps3 game. A good developer will bring both versions simultaneously

Why should 360 owners suffer because the PS3 can't handle a certain game?

wow u think the PS3 cant handle this game you are sadly mistaken..

Just look at Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Heavy Rain, War Devil, Ratchet and Clank Tools of destruction,Infamous,and FF13(being build on the PS3 and ported to the 360) these games are pushing the PS3 hardware..

Also God War 3 and New Team ICO game is going to rip any 360 games apart..

I didnt bother buying their previous game on the PS3..so i can care less about postal 3..

it's not that the ps3 cant handle it because it obviously can but that it is harder for developers to adjust to the ps3... it is different than developing for the PC and 360

LOL you Sony fan boys are always good for a good laugh. i'm just saying that it said delayed for xbox360 you guys would just go off about how crappy the xbox is, and how the xbox can't handle it. it's really sad if you guys listen to yourselves. Yes i know that xbox fans are the same way, but sony fans are way way way worse on this site, i just joined but have been reading for a while now. Disagree with me all you want but that just proves my point

7.3 - facepalm

the source engine take huge advantages from things like direct x, and other standard features built into the xbox and pc as they are built similarly, while the ps3 can be technically more powerful than the 360, the devs really need to know their stuff and how to translate everything, if you guys want to completely rewrite the source engine and port it to the PS3 than be my guest. Anyway, valve isn't making this, duh, running with scissors is, they're just licensing their engine, and valve doesn't need PS3 fans money, they have enough as it is.

I loved Postal & Postal 2 so I don't really care what engine it uses as long as it's fun to play. It's a shame they seem to have problems optimizing it for the PS3 though.

PS3 fans may not care about this but the accumulation of these titles not being on PS3 sends a message to the consumers. Sony fanboys *not caring* about this game can change another peoples minds on why they should invest in the 360.

Whats funny reading this news is the fact PS3 fanboys assume Mass Effect 2 will be coming to PS3 as an EA port assuming MSFT would not do everthing in their power to keep ME2 on the 360.

Whats funny is, you say, you don't care about PS3 or even owning a PS3 but yet, on just about 90% of all PS3 threads there you are.

Sounds like you have a stalking problem :)

True, but this is about PS3 postal being delayed and he's here talking about the PS3 and how ME2 won't be coming to the PS3.

WTF???????? Why even bring it up. It's like when you (not personal) break up with a high-school sweet-heart and you find any excuse to talk about her, talking about "I hate her" , "She wasn't even that good". But yet your the one talking about her, while she's already found somebody else. Thats the relationship between PoG and the PS3. He swears he hates it but yet here he is talking about it and really way off topic.

thats obsession to a whole new degree.
