Valve has no interest on updating PS3 Version of Orange Box. Print
Written by Donny

And to think I actually wanted to buy the orange box for the unbelivably low price of $29.99

 

While Xbox 360 gets all the updates Sony is left with none. The Orange Box or team fortress 2 will not be getting any updates of any sort. The Reason? Valve does not have a PS3 development team so therefore they choose not to release new material for the PS3 Version.

 "We don't have PlayStation developers," Lombardi told us. Earlier in the interview, Newell discussed how Electronic Arts had handled the PS3 port of Orange Box rather than Valve internally. When asked whether or not EA would support the game by helping port the downloadable content over, Newell said, "They're not doing ongoing development on The Orange Box for the PS3."

Newell also noted that not having a PS3 version of their upcoming zombie shooter Left 4 Dead was also partially due to EA. "We don't have the bandwidth," Newell said. "For The Orange Box, EA did the PS3 version. They're interested in getting a PS3 version done. We just have to figure out where the resources can come from. We don't have the bandwidth. We're doing the 360 and PC version ourselves." Newell did confirm that Valve would like to work on in-house PS3 development, but that this will only come "as our bandwidth allows us to." 

 Its amazing how EA is showing their support for PS3 users. Another game I was dissapointed to find out wont be getting DLC is Graw 2. I know, I know it came out ages ago but no one would talk about how they don't have DLC and by the time I got it, it was already too late. Its a great game but with no new maps you will easily get bored on the old ones.
