Its funny how these issues always seem to be PS3 fanboys complaining about how unfair media is to the PS3

Its like anything the media does with the 360 is just perfect... or its because 360 fanboys don't care about this crap and don't bother posting it on these forums..

Edited

Well....when you compare 2 games...only using ONE version, and saying it's the other....

Seems a little unfair to me

Why did the media switch from neutrality during PS2 days to overnight near universal bias overnight.


What are you talking about, the PS2 was abused by media early on. With some stories you could nearly copy & paste them, replace PS2 with PS3 and DVD with Blu-Ray and voila you have a modern opinion piece.

It's just that the PS2 sales skyrocketed and thus naysayers would have looked to ridiculous to continue on that road. Later on there was plenty of XBox vs PS2 propaganda.

What the hell is going on in this thread? Did Ausfalcon create an account here just to argue with MikeB?

On topic: It was GRID that GT botched in their video. That was hilarious. What a joke site they are...

 

Hehe, MikeB alone gets more users to sign up on these forums than everyone else combined!

... I think I'm complimenting MikeB....

 

@on topic - I can't believe the flak Gametrailers is receiving for that GRID video.

 

They were showing crash physics in the "two" versions, and had the 360 version have spectacular crashes, while the "PS3" version was basically...you smack against the wall and nothing happens....

 



Ok. So I watched this video and can only think of 2 explanations...

1:
Is it not possible that they mixed up the PS3 and X360 sections for the helicopter segment? For that moment with the A button showing on the PS3 side, there is nothing on the X360 side that looks definately X360. All you see is the cutt off
"ll yourself up".
So really, maybe they just swapped the position of the screens accidentally. ie. the right side is actually showing the PS3 footage.

2:
Either that, or they are showing the 360 version in both halves, but possibly have a delay of 1 or 2 frames on one of the halves to give the impression that these are from 2 different captures.

I think its more likely to be number 1 here.



Ausfalcon; there are several members on this site who own stock in Nintendo, should I disregard anything they say about the Wii? (In regards to your sig).
I find it hilarious that someone would make a profile simply to muck down a senior user (no matter the motive).

As for the topic at hand; I don't give a shit, really, I only watch GT for the Keighley programs tbh.

Not sure why I clicked in this thread, discussions about GT's comparison videos never turn out well.

Incidently, for all those people claiming the GT is biased against Sony, was it because you yourselves thought that the PS3 side did in fact look worse than the 360? and that it must have been tampering by GT to make it so?

No...it was the fact that there was a "push the 'A' button" on the "PS3" side, when we all know there is no 'A' button on a PS3 controller

Of course not.  I own Sony stock and not Microsoft.  Obviously its in my best interest if MikeB was always right and if he could sway the masses as he seeks to constantly.  That would put extra money in my pocket.  But, considering fair play this would be bad, its just not moral, especially since some users here are kids.

The sig, again which I did not create, is not the compelling argument in and of itself.  That comes from his biased posts themselves over the years, the info in the sig merely explains that behavior, for which the answer was previously unknown.  And its not anything that anyone has to agree with either (obviously).

and a X[] etc in grid when saying 360 had better physics... and ps3 didn't.

I'm sure there are put-down articles for every console ever made by any company.  Is this the proof though of a near universal, entirely massive-in-scale US/UK media bias though?  I still want to hear what Microsoft supposedly uses to get the media to bend to its will on Xbox, but not on Vista, not on the Zune, and not on its corporate practices at large.
