@on topic - I can't believe the flak Gametrailers is receiving for that GRID video. The funny thing is mistakes like that happen all the time!! One of the major Canadian Sports broadcasters (Sportnet) accidentaly aired a clip of a newscaster swearing on Live television. The editors watched the first 10 seconds of the clip and assumed they had the correct clip and put it on air.... they should of watched the whole thing... oops! Watch Here -
This is from one of the biggest sports stations in Canada and they screwed up... so why is it so hard to believe that a videogame website doesn't mess up?? Next thing you'll tell us that 9/11 was Microsoft's fault.. |
Maybe the fact that GameTrailers are putting together these "comparison" videos for the sole purpose of inciting flamewars, and the fact that this is NOT the first time that they fucked up by mislabeling footage, you would think that they'd take the time to double-check this stuff, no? It's really seriously pathetic that they even bother - who cares which version looks a tiny bit better? Certainly not anyone who only owns one console or the other, and for people who own both, they will decide based on what they value - free online play, more friends using one system or the other, preferred controller, etc. etc. So these videos don't help anyone. Especially when GameTrailers are being dishonest about it.
Look at the facts here. Side-by-side video. The "PS3" side clearly looks different - you can see the dividing line. Yet - SOMEHOW - there are 360 controller instructions on the PS3 side of the video? It doesn't make sense. The two sides of the video should be exactly equal, since this footage all came from one console.
I accepted the GameTrailers excuse "it was uh axadint!" when they screwed up GRiD, but again? Come on. Fool me once...
