Valve Marketing Director Doug Lombardi previews the contents of The Orange Box, hints at exciting narrative developments in the Half-Life 2 series and delves into the history and surreal first-person environment of Portal.
The Orange Box will be available November 9 for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Check out the video.
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.
NOW RELEASE THE F'N GAME !!!!
HL2 is YEARS OLD
What an experience it would be to fly over forests and city scapes in a level.
A worthy challenger for best FPS.
This should be good for PS3.
another title thats is making me impatience. this is one of the best fps. half life 2. great year for gamers if not the best.
Getting this one for the PC, PC version will beat both the 360 and PS3. :D
Its only 1 month and a few weeks away from release and I've already got HL2 and HL2:EP1 so I need to sell them.
