Forums - Gaming - Gametrailers responds to the contreversy revolving the PS360 comparisons

We've all seen it, the GRID comparison how the ps3 version looked worse than the ps3 version (dubbed as the 360 version), or the Xmen comparison doing the same thing showing ps3 footage(with an A button) inferior to 360 footage, and lest not forget the Assassins creed comparison.

Now GT has had enough, they clearly are not doing it to generate traffic(sarcasm), so one of there employee's has sent a response to all the fanboys out there that think GT is biased!

 

'Look, I’m sick of all the kerfluffle about how GT is biased towards 360 and how GT favors 360 and how GT hates on PS3. That ends now! The fact remains that 360 has just released better content than PS3. Period. See what I did there? I put a period after Period. That means conclusion; the end of discussion. The reason why GT gives 360 games better scores in the reviews is because the games are simply better experiences. The main reason for this–and it is often an overlooked and underestimated one–is because the 360 controller is a far superior gaming device than the Sony controller. This is to be said within the context that we are talking about influential, significant, market moving franchises–eg. Gears of War 2, Call of Duty, GTA 4, Halo 3 for crying out loud! Have you tried playing any of the previously mentioned multi-platformed titles on the PS3 with that awkward, unintuitive Sony controller? It simply cannot compete. The 360 controller’s design is sleeker, more form fitting, and lends itself to a much more instinctual gaming experience. That Sony controller has been around for how many years now? It’s time to update, reinvent, and innovate, and that’s exactly how Microsoft has managed to stay ahead of the curve. I had posted a forum about this very topic and got reported for inciting a flamewar as they call it. Before the forum could evolve into a discussion it was taken down, but I did receive a very constructive critique about my thoughts from a fellow GT member who claimed that the PS3’s D-pad was superior to the 360’s, especially in fighter games, to which I give him credit and agreement. However, this goes without noting that I was focusing on major blockbuster titles like the Halos and the Gears and the Call of Duty’s; titles that move consoles and market share. Sony not only needs to update its controller, but it also needs to incorporate it with an enjoyable, story-driven exclusive franchise to rival the mind-blowing Microsoft heavyweights Gears of War and Halo franchises. Do this, and you shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

Someone seems a little defensive lol



Not only did he do one of my most detested of things (". Period." is an ellipsis, fuck-tard) - but he then went on the point out the fact that he did, as if our puny, insignificant minds couldn't work out what the function of a period is.

It's condescending things like that which really angers up my blood.



I knew I saw that before, that person wrote that in November 2008.

Anyway, it's a funny rant really. Heck, it even brings the controllers into the fray.



"Story-driven exclusives like Gears and Halo?" Those games actyally have stories? That editor fails hard.

Why was he talking about the controller? Shouldn't he be talking about the issues with their multiplatform reviews?

Also, is he insinuating that they gave 360 versions better reviews because the controller? That's a little too subjective for my taste.

Aren't reviews themselves mostly subjective?

Yes it was written some time ago, but it was never posted on the forums.

They are, but that's the game itself. I really don't think controller preference should really be factored into the score.

Was that guy docking points off of Halo 2 because of the Xbox controller?
