The video editor is a clear xbox fanboy and I won't be surprised if he did indeed sabotage the comparison.

I've read the first comments on the HD vid, and many complain about the "Press A" thing.

I guess GT really flocked up,..... again.... these guys deserve a really beating.

bu bu bu 3 people say they seen A button on the PS3 side in the GT comment section. GT are the only media doing comparisons you know ;)

Eurogamer is payed off by GT and they're out to get the PS3 by making a editing error that doesn't really matter both versions were shown even if this really happened. Because of this the PS3 version of multi platform games are no longer inferior. It was all fake GT lied to us the PS3 versions of multi platform games were actually better. The media base the reviews and their articles on what GT tells them.

Go to about 1:20 into the trailer and watch the close up of the face and hair. Tell me which version you see the most detail.

gambare - 203 days 13 hours ago

yes, the article is different.

BTW I saw the first video and I thought it was just me watching that "A" button in the PS3 side, they did it on purpose because the PS3 version looked better than the 360 version, the game was made first on the PS3 and the textures from the bosses loaded way faster than the 360 version and many other details, after that they edited the video. It's no the first time they disguise the videos to favor the 360, just like Lens of Truth, when they made the comparisons they picked areas where the blur effect put on the PS3 version of HAWX made it look like the PS3 version had "washed out" textures, but that's a fake, and they didn't put the limited horizon of the 360 version just to mention a few differences that IGN remarked between both versions.

Biased analysts from biased sites.

On the PS3 side, the 360 buttons are visible. I do knot know where else they may have switched it.

CaseyRyback_CPO - 203 days ago

Is that they changed the colors from one side to the other.

Why would the 360 side on both screens be anything but identical? I know its because it was supposed to show the ps3's "washed out colors" But since they were using the 360 accidentally for both sides..

whats with the color change?

And this is why comparisons are useless since you can't trust anything you see nowadays on the net.

But whatever. Great game by the way.

tplarkin7 - 202 days 23 hours ago

His screenshot is bogus and is not from the video at Gametrailers. Besides, he has the "A button" bar going across the whole screen which is impossible since the screen is split between 360 and PS3.

UltimateIdiot911 - 202 days 15 hours ago

With the help of Sherlock Holmes, we have reach a conclusion. GT has been placing filters on the PS3 version probably for a long time now.

I never liked these comparison mainly because the ps3 footage never seem to look the same as it is on my tv/monitor. I hope GT responds to this because I really want to see what BS they are going to tell us now.

Also if it was a honest mistake with GRIDE, how did the PS3 side had washed out colors and was made to look inferior to the 360 side, when both sides were the game running on a 360?!!

the video shows 360 buttons on the PS3 side. That part is important because the draw distance is significant on the PS3's side, which looks blurry. Also notice @ :52 that's when they switch back. I do not know if they have it elsewhere, but I suspect they do when they have those backdrops with the PS3 and 360 screens so they can hide the buttons @ :20 to hide the QTE.

Bordello1900 - 203 days 14 hours ago

That's true, I also think GT have been playing around with gamma, colour, contrast and brightness. Some of the PS3 videos have looked very washed out and dull on their videos, while on my LCD screen at home the colours look deep and vibrant, the contrast is much much better etc. So, yeah, I'm not saying GT aren't biased, I'm only saying I don't believe this picture that claims to be from the video.

50CALheadshot - 203 days 14 hours ago

its probably because they hook up the ps3 to a whack tv.

Depending on the capabilities of your set, you can turn on x.y.v color, among several other video enhancements in your ps3 and tv. doing so results in a much better picture in both games, and BLURAY FILMS.
those of you that have good equipment know what i mean.

They hook the PS3 to SDTVs with coaxial connections.

They didn't play around with my settings.

Example. Red faction on my PS3 has worse contrast and not as vibrant color with less detail. I have the same settings for both my PS3 and 360 auxiliary channels.

The Lazy One - 202 days 23 hours ago

it's probably not hooked up to a TV at all. Most likely to a video capture card and a PC.

Chances are they are using the same settings for both number wise (like brightness, contrast, saturation etc all set at 50), but the settings different on the systems themselves.

I really don't think it's worth their time or money to spend extra time making one version look worse.

if they admitted to manipulation, they could be sued and shut down for defamation of branding or something even more twisted and clever

Agree(7) | Disagree(2) | Report

The Lazy One - 202 days 23 hours ago

they would lose a lot to publicity, but if they did get sued they'd only have to use a defense like "Is this product the product released for your console?" "yea..." "Is this footage actual game footage that hasn't been altered from the product released from your console?" "Yes"

It's not really defamation to show a product in an unfavorable light as long as you are showing the product itself. It's the same reason pepsi doesn't get sued by coke for the pepsi challenge commercials, even though they only ever show people picking pepsi.

It has nothing to do with RGB, they are just plain doctoring the footage. They probably turn up the brightness, reduce contrast and switch the settings.

mistajeff - 203 days 8 hours ago

In all fairness, I've owned Assassin's Creed on both 360 and PS3 and it looks significantly worse on PS3. The textures have a lower resolution and the framerate is lower. I borrowed it on 360 from a friend, then I went and bought it on PS3 and I was pretty pissed at the noticeable downgrade. Bullsh!t on Ubisoft's part.

EDIT: but yeah i agree, gametrailers does fail.

Wow, really? That kind of upsets me actually, because the difference is pretty obvious for me. Maybe there was something wrong with the PS3 version I had? Sometimes you buy games that are just bad copies.
Well whatever, I settled for the PC version like I usually do with better graphics than both consoles :-)

ultimolu - 203 days 8 hours ago

Yea, but I'm talking about how they made Assassin's Creed on the PS3 more washed out than the 360 version.

It's pretty clear that they're really biased and don't treat multiplatform games fairly between both consoles.
