Kotaku: Gametrailers "Blows It "
102
So I poked the console-wars snake last week and learned a big Fat Albert lesson about people's feelings in the process. Gametrailers, with a longer history than me, not so much.

1 - lol a biased site talking about a biased review
Now 1 thing they both have in common! xD
Even though it was the reviewer/footage dude's fault, GT has its fault for passing it.

1.3 - "PEOPLE ARE MAKIGN IT LOOK LIKE A MONSTER"
Thankfully they're failing at that;Look at what happened to Gamespot,considered to be the worst site to go to for Ps3 reviews and articles.They're now an absolute joke,they could give MGS4 a 0/10 and Ps3 owners wouldn't care,they could give MGS4 a 10/10 and Ps3 owners wouldn't care.They lost the one thing that kept them in business;Gamer support.
Now we have GameTrailers in the same Boat;banning users for no reason-deleting threads for no reason-blocking communication-and others,I say they need to just quit the entire comparison thing for good,because trust me;They will NEVER regain the lost credibility there.

how can gametrailer say that the ps3 has bad crash dynamics when the video they showed actualy had a ps3 footage dressed up as an xbox footage showing what they claim to be as an example of great crash dynamics - something they claim the ps3 version doesn't have? sony should stop relationships with them for a reason. in this case the reason to embargo gt is a fair one because you don't feed the hand that bites you.

i have just been on the phone directly to the gametrailer team and they assured me that it was all a mistake. they also said that they endeavour to ALWAYS 100% OF THE TIME show ps3 games in the most favourable light. To prove this fact they just sent me pictures of the latest equipment they used to capture all PS3 multiplatform games for side by side comparisons. After seeing the pictures of the ps3 screenplay capture equipment (SEE ATTACHED IMAGES) i have no reason to not believe in their integrity.
collection of gametrailer ps3 screen capture technologies:

Hi anh_duong, it's funny watching you shamelessly points that out. I can claim I have Rolls Royce but actually I don't. It's just a claim, even they have, they probably screwed up using it.
Point is, did you see them using the equipment correctly? They probably never had what you claimed at the first place.

1.12 - I don't get all the hate...
Sony has given us quality gaming for the past decade plus. Then all of sudden MS releases 360 and people turn their nose up at the PS3? Not even that, some are going out of their way to bash the system. I've said before that my only gripe against 360 was the hardware failure. Not being able to use any HDD and having to pay for XBL are a distant second. I read the hardware specs when both were coming out and all these critics agreed the PS3 was the more powerful machine. Some devs disagreed but I'm speaking in gaming journalism.
Maybe it's because I'm not in my teens anymore and I work and have a family that I'm not in a rush for Sony to show it's entire hand. Maybe that's how I, and others, can wait for quality games, Homes, etc.

3.2 - @ Rice
i spent about 1 year in the joystiq website and trust me dude... i felt that kotaku was less biased..
joystiq it's really really incredibly biased.. even now, just go back a few pages back and look at how they just trashed the ps3 with GTA4, really MAKING it look like it was the only one with freezing problems.. they even had a poll about freezing issues and the 360 and ps3 were almost neck to neck and yet they kept posting crap about the ps3.
Right away they put another post about the "12 Step to fix your Ps3" and they put all that crap that didn't even helped.
Just go to their comment section and you'll see why they do it.. because 80% of their readers are ps3 haters, so they keep their audience happy.
Even when Mgs4 that it was gonna use a 50gb BD disc they're the ones suggesting that it was probably lack of compression.. i mean they may post positive ps3 news but they twist them as to doubt and fud just in order to flaimbait.
i got so sick of it.. only reason why i visit like once a week at the most it's just to check if they have changed.. but nope. They gotta keep their audience happy hating the ps3..

They posted the new GeOW2 video within like 6 hours, and yet they never posted anything about the new killzone2 video.. why cause it just shows how great the ps3 is...
I'm not sayin that GeOw2 looks bad, i'm just saying how a website can't deal with some TRUE and AMAZING ps3 news.. they just can't deal with it, so they just don't post it

I KNEW there was something wrong with GT comparisons! It goes all the way back to the launch titles. GT was always turning down the contrast and turning up the brightness on the PS3 side, making it look more washed out.

I've said this before about the 360 vs PS3 game videos on some sites. I've always thought that the PS3 version of the games look a hell of a lot better than what these guys were showing.
EG..When Gametrailers shown the PS3 vs 360 video of COD4 and GTA IV, I looked at them and knew that either they swap the videos around or tampered with them, because since I have both versions on both the 360 and PS3 I know for a fact they both look better on the PS3 and my 1080P LCD TV
