It seems as though the port of the Orange Box for the PlayStation 3 isn't as good as it should be. 1UP had a chance to play through the PS3 version of the Orange Box recently, and what they saw did not impress them.
Framerate is a consistent issue throughout the Half-Life series of games included in The Orange Box. One moment you'll be cruising through the game at 30 frames per second and the next you'll be enjoying a slideshow of series protagonist Gordon Freeman cruising down the river. However, Portal suffers from no such technical hiccups and is on its way to being a pitch-perfect port of the spatial reasoning exercise. Due to a server connection issue, we were unable to get any time with Team Fortress 2.Keep in mind, a team inside of EA is handling the PS3 port of the Orange Box, and is not being handled by Valve themselves. There was a reason Valve did not want to deal with the port, it's just a shame EA wasn't able to overcome the difficulties in coding for the PS3.
