PS3 does not cope with some multi-platform games

19th December 2007

The developers have been unable to tame the complicated “filling” of PlayStation 3. It is not the first time when journalists and players find that multiplatform games are run not really smoothly under this console. IGN says on the failures of Half-Life 2 Episode Two. According to critics, Half-Life 2, Episode One and Episode Two have some problems with performance. Eyewitnesses claim that some levels (with the major battles) remain virtually unplayable "because of the brakes".
Moreover, mini-boots of levels last nearly 5 seconds longer than on Xbox 360, not to mention PC. Also, there are some difficulties with Portal.
