So the PS3 Orange Box version is also as shoddy frame rate as the PC version?!

Damn, I didn't know about the whole Valve thing...damn, EA got it..that sucks!
No you miss understand. The PC version is fine, plays as well as the system you play it on, which in my case is full settings with an excellent 60fps+ all the way. The ps3 version is a very poorly made port by EA and the game suffers for it!

Its just fps drop like playing on a low spec pc really, you just jump forward a few paces, skips a few frames, mainly after quick saving, and alot during the outside sequences in EP2.

Apparently the problems aren't that bad in HL2, most apparent in EP2, they can be overcome as my cousin tested, (in HL2 only so far) by pausing the game for 10secs or so after quick saving. Some guy on the Steam forums voiced his displeasure and even got a reply from Valve! http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=638580

Oh some good news, Valve have finally stepped in after all this bad press! http://kotaku.com/339829/got-problems-with-the-orange-box-on-ps3-valve-wants-to-know

re: Half-Life General Discussion

lmfao that is awesome!!!!!!!

Right, so, I need to know...what is a patch?
I've heard it alot, and its also for PC's right?

Well if they release a patch to clear things up, does that mean they're bringing out a new version of the game which has been cleared of any bugs etc.?

Right OK. A patch is a small piece of software designed to update or fix problems with a computer program. This includes fixing bugs, replacing graphics and improving the usability or performance.

The PC version of the Half-Life games have different problems and different patches to fix them.

I doubt EA will remake the game bug free, more along the lines of if anyone bought the PS3 version, you'd be prompted to download a patch when you first played. This patch news is very new so don't get yours hopes of a patch to correct the problems anytime soon.

quote Master of the VG
The first Half-Life has it's best graphics on the PS2 version. The High Def pack has nothing on it. I was hoping HL Source would have it's graphics but it didn't (it had worse graphics than the non source because it didn't use the HD texture pack).



As you can see this Barney looks more like the Barney in HL2.
yeah but kliener is...
