Forums - Gaming Discussion - Gametrailers.com lies again!

http://n4g.com/industrynews/News-150161.aspx

Recently I have discovered that Gametrailes.com's HAZE usermovie contest is a lie, what a surprise after the GRID fiasco. If you don't remember, this is where Shane Satterfield, GameTrailers' Editor in Chief, had an interview with Joystiq and lied repeatedly about the GRID comparison they created. When you "vote", the "vote" is sent to your Hard Drive in saved CACHE, but when you clean the CACHE from your Hard Drive the vote resets.

This in basic terms means that the "vote" is not being sent to any server to keep track of the "votes." This leads to making you think you voted, but it was all a lie, just like the cake. Just click the article link above to see the animated picture demonstrating this.

I love how Gametrailers.com loves to try and fool their good userbase, only to be caught red handed every time. How many more lies must be made until they literally have no more credibility?

Thanks Mounce, for your hand in making this article possible!
This is starting to happen pretty often isnt it?

They get the popularity of a giveaway but they don't give shit away.

The Top 5 Finalists will all receive a signed copies of the game.

In addition, the following will receive:

First Place: Sony HDTV 46", PS3, Customized HAZE guitar signed by the band, and an amp, plus $1000

Second Place: A PS3 and the entire collection of Korn CDs and Ubisoft PS3 library plus $500

Third Place: The entire collection of Korn CDs and Ubisoft PS3 library
If the faked the vote they wouldn't have to give 4-5k dollars worth of stuff away.

or the people just found out how he can vote twice?¿?

Which would then void the whole contest. A single person could vote for themselves a million times



Wow, N4G, a well known pro-Sony site really hates gametrailers. What a surprise.

Really, the tone of this article ruins all of its credibility, imo. I'll believe it when I see it from another source that doesn't say "N4G.com reports" in it.
