My turd is prettier than your turd. Therefore, my turd smells sweeter.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Anyone that watches those comparison videos is a moron that deserves to be duped... Thats all.

I agree with that, mostly anyway. For every couple thousand people who watch it, i'd bet like... one of them actually has both systems and the rest are goofy fanboys who just want bragging rights. (If that.) Still for that person that has both systems... I guess it's imortant... really i'd just get the PS3 version even if the graphics were worse to avoid RROD. While others would do the opposite just for achivements.

Either way, I say wait till monday. I honestly still think it's just a matter of a mistake in video editing.


I'd agree with you, but what kind of editing mistake can explain the PS3 version looking different from... the PS3 version in terms of graphics?

It doesn't. Not when they are replaying the crashes aside from the one crash being "bigger". (to me anyway) The only part where it looks different is when the controller map isn't present.

There is no graphical difference that i can see during the actual crash sequences, aside from the crashes... in which physics would have nothing to do with anything.

In fact i'd say fact that there is such graphical difference in everything but the replaying of the crash shows that it was a labeling and splicing error.

It was shitty editing by gametrailer, they used a PS3 edit for that one part and stuck a "360" on the side. I guarantee that it was just a f*ck up in the editing room.

All those who keep screaming conspiracy theories are just bored PS3 fanboys with nothing to do...

GO PLAY GTA IV!!

Shut up, go away, consider yourself warned.

I see, I'll check out the video again later.

I have to add, Gametrailers comparison are mostly fakes, because they don't use HDMI support with PS3 versions.

What do you mean?

 What he means is that they compare standard definition PS3 footage to High Def 360 footage.

 

Besides, it's bullshit to begin with. I watch the video reviews GT has and they don't seem biased at all. Granted, I really only pay attention to EGM/1UP reviews so it doesn't really matter. Not to mention GT has the best footage of games around available for download in HD without creating an account. I get all my videos from GT because they don't put their logo on the videos like IGN and GameVideos do (though GV's aren't that annoying, it's just a little space invader guy).

 Anyways, what the hell is the point of watching comparison videos? PS3 is more powerful than 360. PS3 is also more difficult to develop for. But it's still more powerful and that's fact.

Yes, yes, they're each good at their own things. But in the end, the PS3 has more raw power. Is the power good for anything? Not really, if it can't be used correctly. But is it there? Definitely.
