Postal 3 Heading to PlayStation 3, Slightly Delayed
While the PC and Xbox 360 iterations of Postal III were tentatively slated for release in Q2 2009, Jaret noted that those two editions are now more likely to arrive in "mid-to-late 2009."
However, he was unable to provide an estimated release date for the PS3 version, attributing the uncertainty to technical concerns in utilizing the game's licensed Source engine on the platform.
The company had previously noted a PS3 release of the shooter, which is being co-developed by Russian studio Akella and currently has no publisher, was under consideration, but would probably follow the game's initial debut.
Only one game utilizing Valve's Source engine technology, its mega-compilation The Orange Box, has been released on PS3. While the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the title were developed internally at Valve, the PS3 port was outsourced to EA UK, and was widely chastised for its performance issues compared to the other editions.

replyLol. Gotta love this game because you're all gonna say it sucks, and it will suck, but eventually you WILL play it if you know what I mean.

I played the demo so much...

Why exactly? Personally I loved the first two postal games. Video games, to me, should be about things that you just can't or shouldn't do in real life and these games fit that to a tee. That's why I don't understand why people play sports games, you could be out there actually doing the sport. Show me where else I can use a cat as a silencer, light somebody on fire, piss on them to put them out, and not feel bad about it after. To each their own though.

really is that all?? Then why all the crap over Resident Evil 5's trailer? If games hold no true value but "fun" why put political messages in them a la MGS4 or the purely leftist ideas in GTA4?
I agree that games should only be viewed as fun escapism but I think gaming as a medium has moved beyond that now; they are a means to reach an audience.

How is it a disgrace to the hobby? Honest answer please, not some string of bullshit about art.
-
Feel the same way about movies like Saw, and others?
-
Yes. Torture porn is crap.

Great review from someone who hasn't played the games! If you are that sensitive about the perceptions of gaming, I hope you've boycotted the Grand Theft Auto series as well because that game series has brought far more negative attention to gaming than Postal ever has.
-
and how about that movie!?
-
Taking games that are clearly meant to be comedic a bit seriously, don't you think?
-
No way, Postal 2 was tons of fun. Yes the story and missions were aweful, but the open world sandbox type FPS that they were attempting to create was pretty cool. I just hope they can take that openess much futher with Postal 3. If they spend a bit more time on level design, story and structure it has potential to be pretty fun game.

I enjoyed Postal 2. Silly, violent fun, kind of original. This, however, looks like shit. Terrible use of Source.

Postal was awesome, Postal 2 sucked but I still loved it. I really enjoy when games don't take themselves seriously. Rapid fire bouncing cat gun was the best. Shooting 400 cats randomly into the air, and watching them all rain down around the city was an absolute joy to me. Watching cats fall out of the sky onto peoples' heads, and then watching the people vomit in disgust... fond memories. Postal has never been a game to be taken seriously, and once you can get past that hump, they are pretty enjoyable.

Played the demo of the first game for about 5 minutes. Haven't touched it since then and won't.
