A mistake?

 

[Awntawn]

probably

 

[vilmer_]

Definitely a mistake.

Spoiler

Or is it?

 

[thaOwner]

Must be a mistake.

 

[slider]

Must be. Unless they're doing a port concurrently. Which'd be weird.

 

[djblackice]

It's also here on "Upcoming games" with placeholder box art.

If true, I can't imagine how terrible patching will be given how less than optimal it is on 360 even.

 

[Avatar1]

Ported by some sideshow developer whose name doesn't start with "V" and end with "alve".

NO THANKS.

 

[Insane Metal]

20 FPS version incoming.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

THE PLOT THICKENS!

 

[_Angelus_]

Buy the game on a 360 or PC,don't punish yourself Sony fans.:lol
Wait...wtf? Crysis ic coming to consoles? How the hell are they going to shoehorn a game like this into consoles? Geez.

 

[Chiggs]

I guess it's possible.

 

[Stink]

Left 3 Dead

 

[StuBurns]

Why isn't it just DLC!!!!

Ummmm...

 

[Snipes424]

20 FPS version incoming.

Was the orange box PS3 really that bad? I remember kotaku and others saying it was 100% unplayable which was far from the truth, but still 20FPS is pretty bad.

But yeah it might be an EA team porting it, or a mistake, don't know.

No, it's no where near that bad. It's pretty much the same as the 360 one, just with patches of dodgy framerate and some AA. It looks nicer than the 360 version.

Orange Box on the PS3 was really only 50% unplayable.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

edit: nvm

 

[Cat in the Hat]

20 FPS version incoming.

:lol Better than nothing though.

 

[Draft]

Clearly Valve wasn't happy milking only the Xbox and PC audience.

Valve greed is good for PS3 gamers.

 

[AranhaHunter]

If true AND it's a good port, I'll buy for sure.

 

[Lightning]

Please EA... PLEASE!!!!!

I want this... I had to miss out on L4D...

 

[DMeisterJ]

Oh shit.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Please EA... PLEASE!!!!!

don't have a pc?

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

That site has PC listed twice, so it's more likely to be a typo of some sort. It'd be nice, but I'm also more used to the mindset of playing a Valve game on a PC so I wouldn't get this anyway unless I had a serious gaming rig.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Bah, it better run better than TOB. Left 4 Dead deserves a better treatment than TOB.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

From this point on, every game will be exclusive* to Xbox 360**.

*may not be exclusive
**PC and PS3

twice? one's for retail, the other's for download, steam and such i predict.

:lol

Now it needs its own .gif.

 

[duk]

the definitive version

PC is listed twice since "PC Download" is implying Steam in addition to the retail copy.

 

[FrankT]

What do you really think. Can't wait for the Newell response to this.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

holy shit, the internet works fast!

[Firestorm]

Web stores are too complicated.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Sue me for not catching the little word in the corner for each tab. Kinda strange though especially after the reveal of it being exclusive to Microsoft platforms. Anybody know the specific studio that covered the Source engine PS3 ver.?

 

[JoJo13]

Makes sense.

One of those EA ones

 

[Firestorm]

If someone uses EA's store to download instead of Steam they should have the game disappear from their computer.

hey don't take it the wrong way, it's all good, i'm (secretly) hoping that it is a typo to see the meltdowns:lol

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Orange Box on the PS3 was really only 50% unplayable.

Bollocks! Half-Life 2 plus episodes were great aside from a few frame rate hiccups and Portal was great. The only part that suffered was TF2, and even that wasn't too bad.

 

[RavenFox]

Hmmm I wonder who is doing it?

 

[Mileena]

Would buy.
Would rather play it on my console in 20-30FPS in HD than on my PC in 800x600 getting the same FPS.

 

[Cat in the Hat]

Bollocks! Half-Life 2 plus episodes were great aside from a few frame rate hiccups and Portal was as good as the PC version. The only part that suffered was TF2, and even that wasn't too bad.

I can back this. 100% my exp. with the game

 

[Shurs]

Awesome news. Hope it's true, but I doubt it.

 

[Blablurn]

i agree with his. finished the whole hl campaign on ps3 as well. and it would be great if we could also play some l4d.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

Valve, you brought this on yourselves by jumping in the console gamers world.

 

[shouamabane]

Aren't the Orange Box PS3 port problems pretty easily avoidable at this point in time? Many first gen games for any platform have been worse.
