Valve listens in on The Orange Box’s PS3 problems

by Mike on January 3rd, 2008

Valve is working to address the PS3 version of The Orange Box

If you were foolish enough to get The Orange Box for the PS3 despite its negative previews, then you’re most probably moping about how bad the loading times and the framerate are, among other things. Well, there’s good news: there’s a very good chance of a patch coming.

But forget the speculation you’ll read—we’ve got proof. Someone from Valve has created a thread in the Steam forums, asking users for suggested changes and tweaks for The Orange Box’s PS3 version.

If you’ve always wanted to bitch about the game’s framerate and/or loading times, then feel free to give Valve your 2 cents’ worth. Here’s a tip while you’re at it: do include that bit about keyboard and mouse support. There’s no way we’re playing a shooter on a controller.

    Amen. Shooter will always be better on the PC.

    I might consider UT3 for the PS3 since it supports the keyboard and mouse control scheme. If The Orange Box suddenly gets keyboard/mouse support, then I’m getting it.

    Of course, it needs to get its framerate fixed too.
