Does the orange box on PS3 really suck that bad?

Loading times were quite long (around 10-20 seconds) and it suffers from some horrendous framerate drops, though they are rare. It's definitely not unplayable though.

 

and that one patch fixed some issues.

Still EA's devs are getting even better with the PS3, due to more time spent, so a port of HL2:Ep3 plus whatever else is packaged with it shouldnt be half as bad.

!?

Strange, you appear all full of optimism yet there is no grounds for optimism?

If you judge the future based on past results then all fingers point to...."crap port served late". Or has EA really bucked its trend in this area?

well compare Madden 09 which seem fully functional and not crap on the PS3 versus last year's. Going by that, they are getting better. If they can actually do Madden correctly this time around they can do HL2:Ep3.

the only way the port would be any good is if valve would do it, and since they hate the ps3 dont expect the game if its true that its coming to the ps3 to be anything but a ok port.

Isn't something wrong with the listing anyways? Shouldn't it mention the PC also for Left 4 Dead? Or does EA not publish the PC version?

Also why isn't 360 listed with Red Alert 3?

I really hope this rumor is true and is not a typo. I'd still be more inclined to get the PC version because it'll have far better support. How many updates has TF2 on the consoles gotten?

There haven't been any substantial updates other than bug fixes I believe.

I'm gonna guess L4D's support on the 360 will be a little better, but it's not a sure thing.

PC support IS a sure thing though, not to mention all the custom maps you can never play on the consoles.  And custom maps are going to be the life of Left 4 Dead I think.

And Onyxmeth, I believe EA is publishing the retail games...that's for PC and 360, and if this is true, PS3 games in retail stores.  Valve has Steam though, that's where they get the most money anyway.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

So is there a possibility it's a typo and they meant to put PC instead of PS3? I'd like PS3 to get this game but I think they would have announced it by now.

Yes, EA games have been just as good on PS3 lately. Thanks for keeping up.
