The Orange Box for PS3 is Weird

Still crazy that TF2 on the PS3 outlived Overwatch 1

You need to play both Portal 2 and CS:GO on the PS3. Mostly CS:GO because it's an interesting time capsule, sort of like TF2 on console.

5:24 I was painfully aware of that sound issue, yet for over a decade I've found no one else mentioning it! Thank you

PS3 TF2 has stood the tests of time, outlived OW1, and is finally being put to rest in 2023. Can’t believe it’s been 16 years, and yet it still kept on fighting. I am proud of this small section of the TF2 community. As we grew, it remained timeless. You were good, son. Real good. Maybe even the best. R.I.P. PS3 port of TF2 2007-2023 Timeless, now and forever

Keep in mind lads the 360 version is still alive and thriving and is the best way to experience true vanilla TF2

I can say with confidence that working for Microsoft in the past had nothing to do with Gabe's dislike of the PS3's hardware. Many developers were not fans of the hardware because it was way too unique and specialized. It made ports a nightmare because there was no way to do it without rewriting large parts of the game engine just to make the games to run properly. Back in the day, multithreading wasn't very common in game development as computers and consoles alike had been single core for decades. Then Sony drops a new console that requires extensive use of multithreading just to work. Developers like Gabe did not want to spend months learning about new hardware architectures just to make ports of games that were already done. Many early games for the Xbox 360 only used one CPU core for the same reason. It wasn't till about 2009 that developers really started to adopt the multithreaded design for game engines. Even Crysis released without multithreading support.

That's actually really wholesome how PS3's TF2 is still alive and has players. That's really cool to know everyone love TF2 even if it's never updated xD

When I heard the PS3 orchestra, it only happens when you start it up. Makes you felt honored to play such a console like this back when you were a wee lad.

Cant believe TF2 for PS3 lasted until 2023

I had Portal 2 on the PS3. It even let you sign into steam and had cross play with steam players. It was pretty awesome. My friend who was a PC gamer played a lot of coop with me in Portal 2 back in high school.

this might be a weird comment but thank you for the indepth subtitles. genuinely explaining how the audio glitches sound or accents is really nice and not something i see many youtubers do.

6:09 craziest transition ever

"This is a PlayStation 3." "Dear god..." "There's more-" "No!"

I remember getting a PS3 and The Orange Box for Christmas wayyyy back, I think it was 2009 and I was in fourth grade. I remember wanting to play Portal so so badly and Half-Life 2 (+ the episodes) and Team Fortress 2 kind of taking me by surprise by how fun they were. The amount of Team Fortress my dad and I would play was unreal. Every time our player died, we’d switch controllers, it was awesome. 💕💕

"the audio gets all crinkly" this man knows his industry terms.

my brother and i used to call the fat ps3 the spiderman ps3

I feel like now with the current hardware and console generation TF2 could work really well if they ever decided to bring the current version

I played through Half Life 2 on the Xbox. The original Xbox. I tried replaying it a while back, and i have absolutely no idea how i managed it as a kid. It's like my brain hadn't developed enough to perceive that i was experiencing 12 FPS. It's still really impressive that they got it to run, though. I also played through Half Life 1 on the PS2, and that actually worked fine. Fun fact, you can plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the PS2 and use it with Half Life.

You don't know how grateful I am to you for putting the music you use in the description. You have a great taste and have helped me discover tons of awesome songs.

Rest in peice, you magnificent bastard -Soldier TF2
