G4 The Feed - Monday, December 03, 2007:
"Finally, PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to join the PC and 360 ranks and experience the joy and wonder that is The Orange Box.
The Orange Box for PS3 comes out on December 11th, and G4 feels confident in predicting that its release will end the bickering over which console is superior once and for all. Portal is just good enough to herald a new age of cross-console generosity and brotherhood. Hallelujah!
French and German versions will be available in early 2008."
The Xbox One Backward Compatible versions of Xbox 360 titles Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Portal are now enhanced for Xbox One X, Microsoft announced.
Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.
Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.
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.
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.
Robin Walker discusses the impact of Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more.
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.
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.
"The Orange Box for PS3 comes out on December 11th, and G4 feels confident in predicting that its release will end the bickering over which console is superior once and for all"
haha, G4 is wrong there.
another crappy port from EA
UT3 for me
roger that. ut3 > orange box to me right now. ill rent first. i dont trust valve and Gabe's smattering of the ps3 to buy it on release day.
wasn't Orange Box already considered dated? It's the single biggest reason I didn't get it for the 360 and passed on Ninja Sigma for the PS3. They were both already dated.
I mean who wants OB when you can play Halo 3?
And who will want it for the PS3 when you can play UT3?
Or COD4 for both systems?
It was dated weeks ago, and G4 figured wrong about "end the bickering over which console is superior once and for all".
