Gamespot: Biased against PS3?

Just so you all know, I did not go looking for a biased site, I discovered it mistakenly.

So I've been checking out the screens for the upcoming big hitters on PS3. Particularly Resitance 2 and Killzone. During my endeveurs I discovered something unusual.... To me it seemed that 2 of the biggest games for the PS3 were...... graphically unpleasing. I thought to myself "surely this can't be, I've seen so many praise these graphics... Are they blind?". These shots I was looking at on Gamespot seemed to be extremely blurry. So I decided to check out some PS3 games I owned and knew how they looked (Warhawk & Uncharted in particular) and I was amazed to see that Warhawk, and game that looks good but is no where near amazing appeared to be better than Resistance 2 and Killzone 2!

So I began to look into it... The file sizes for Warhawk & Uncharted screens generally ranged from 300KB to 450KB while the Killzone and Resitance shots ranged from 200KB to 300KB. I was amazed, the shots for KZ2 and R2 often had 2, or 3 times more going on and the file sizes are drastically lower! Is Gamespot intentionally compressing and distorting PS3 screens to make them look worse?

I figured I needed a second source before I could call foul play, so I referred to IGN. And sure enough, not only were their screenshots of Resistance 2 much sharper and clearer but the file sizes were in that clear and crisp 300-450KB range nearly 33% larger file sizes than Gamespots.

I still wasn't ready to call out Gamespot... I thought to myself, perhaps they've just been compressing their screens too much lately, could be an honest mistake right? So I looked at some Gears of War 2 screens, and sure enough they were in that magical 300-400KB range right on par with IGN. (I found the same thing with LBP screens, IGN screens were clearer, and had larger file sizes)

So, is Gamespot making PS3 screens look worse to turn away potential customers?

I know I will not be going to gamespot for screenshots anymore.

 

You fail!

Another thread on a website is biased against the PS3.

 

I wanna see ANY Sony fanfiend disclaim that like they usually do..
