@ leoj:
no it had nothing to do with lighting and resolution.
they set RGB to limited instead of full, thus crippling the color capabilities of the ps3.

I'm just guessing that you really have no idea what the RGB setting actually does since in no way is limited RGB "crippling the color capabilities of the PS3"

Essentially the option is there to compensate for the different ways a TV handles brightness vs a monitor and some HDTVs. What the setting is actually doing is changing the output from 7.5 IRE to 0 IRE - a setting which changes the black level of the output and in no way changes the "color capabilities". Also setting RGB to full on a set that defaults to 7.5 IRE would result in crushing and make the picture look worse.

Microsoft added this option to the 360 because people where complaining about washed out colors over VGA. Could you guess why they were seeing washed out colors over VGA and not any other output?

Not to mention that the TVs gametrailers use could be like 95% of TVs made and display a picture that looks fine on limited.

Hey they can optimize both consoles for a fair comparison. If you cant optimize it any better, it already reached its potential dont you agree? the Xbox360 is optimized, can you say the same for the ps3?

as i have said, we are comparing the builds of the game. they crippled one version and showed washed out colors when all they had to do was change RGB to full. A common knowledge process that doesnt even take 30 seconds to do, you dont even buy anything, its right there.if you set it to limited of course your gonna get washed out colors, your not using the full capabilities of your machine...

also remember comparison videos are for the customers, so what they are showing is basically misinformation.

Once again you don't know what you're talking about.

For starters outside the internet few people are going to have a clue about what the hell "full RGB" means. Furthermore most people aren't going to see a difference unless they are using a computer monitor with their PS3. Remember, most sets display the default output just fine and don't get washed out colors.

And these comparison videos aren't meant for customers at all. Just think about it; how many people outside of the "hardcore" look up comparison videos? Hell, how many people actually own both consoles, because last I checked, these vids are pretty useless for a person who only owns one system. The fact of the matter is these comparisons are meant for "console warriors" Shit like this gets hits to the site and people talking, and thats what matters, not making the games look pretty.

Now you can keep complaining about the difference in color, but it doesn't change the substance of the AC video at all, namely the tearing, pop-in and framerate issues. You know, the things that actually matter in the comparison.

Oh, and the color looks identical on the DMC video. I guess GT took people like you seriously.
