One was that PlayStation had a very open stance on their platform and they were willing to do a lot of work with us to make Steamworks on the PS3 a reality. As we worked on Portal 2, two things happened. At the time of The Orange Box, we just didn’t have any internal PS3 knowledge at the company. This time, we developed it in-house at Valve and made it a full-fledged PS3 title. Joshua Weier, Valve Software: We learned a lot from The Orange Box, which was ported to the PS3 by an external group. Jeff Rubenstein, PlayStation.Blog: I’m one of the people who played Portal via The Orange Box on PS3, and I’m told it wasn’t the best version of the game. We slapped a thick stack of your questions on the table, cracked our knuckles, and extracted the answers via a combination of brow beating, idle threats, and good old-fashioned seduction.Īctually, we just called them on the phone and goofed off for an hour or so. Last week, we finally cornered Portal 2’s Project Lead Joshua Weier and Writer Erik Wolpaw in a bare concrete room under harsh florescent lighting. We wanted every nerdy, detail-obsessed question possible and, as we’ve come to learn, PS3 fans never disappoint. Not long ago, we asked you to submit your very best PS3 Portal 2 questions.

Valve Software has repeatedly described Portal 2 for the PS3 as being “ the best console version of the game.” And for good reason, given that you’ll get a free PC or Mac version of Portal 2 along with your PS3 copy, as well as exclusive cross-platform PS3-to-PC co-op gameplay and voice chat, Steamworks features and much more.
