Half Life 2 Delayed for PS3 till 2008?

In a recent preview on IGN they stated the game to be shipping for the PC and 360 come early fall but the PS3 version would be delayed possibily to 2008.

Could this again be the effect of the 360's devlopment kit which makes porting PC to 360 or 360 to PC games quick and painless.

Good news for the ps3 since it's not gonna be a port like the 360

FreeMonk6957d ago

It's going to be exactly the same as the X360 and PC versions. No graphical updates! Read it first before making silly comments like that!!

It sucks ass though for PS3 owners. Why do ports like HL2, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell etc take soo long to get to the PS3 compared to the 360??

That's why I'm sticking with my X360 at the moment and holding back on the PS3 until the must have titles arrive like MGS4, Lair, Heavenly Sword etc!

I wonder if it's possible for someone to get -1 comment bubbles

Yours is such a stupid and blatant attempt at spin that you should get a metal for it.

Fanboy.

Odion6957d ago

no you misunderstand, the game isn't changing the problem is the difference in code and the fact that EA is creating the PS3 port is causing the delay

Pika-pie6957d ago

Meh, Im not too bothered about the PS3/XBOX ports anyway- I have had the PC version for over a year and a half.

specialguest6957d ago

kinda sucks for PS3-only gamers, but I too have been playing it on my PC for close to a year now. I also got it for free through torrent.

bootsielon6957d ago

If Half Life 2 gets Sixaxis support and extra content, or a lower price tag, I'm in. If not, Valve and EA can go to hell.

Wasn't Valve's Gabe Newell the one that said that Sony should do a "do over" for the PS3? What kind of Moron would say that? I guess one that has earned his bread through PCs. He used to say PS3 was crap because the HDD was an optional add-on when it was first announced. But I guess there are people you can never please. "Damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.

Skull5212791d ago

Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.

gangsta_red2791d ago

To not have another Left 4 Dead is straight up criminal.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH2791d ago

So many memories of throwing my controller with Portal lol.

How Valve released five of its greatest games in a single day

The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.

And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.

Man 2007 was a great year for gaming.

OpenGL3155d ago

Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.

The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.

AuraAbjure3155d ago

shut up valve....give me HL3....

FallenAngel19843164d ago

Back when Valve made a lot of great titles

-Foxtrot3163d ago

Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.

At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.

Reefskye3162d ago (Edited 3162d ago )

Don't know what valve are going to do with Half Life after Mike Laidlaw posted the short version of Episode 3 in August and changed the names and genders.
