GRID Gametrailers Mistake NOT a conspiracy. NOT favortism. HARD FACTS HERE
Too Much Coffee Man | 5:51 AM on 05.13.2008 20 comments


GT has a new comparison up. What's funny is, it looks exactly like the first version only they didn't make a mistake this time. But the footage still looks the same for ps3 & 360. Which is what any reasonable person would expect.

Anyway. For those who are actually interested. The guy who runs Digital Foundry (a company that makes HD capture stations used by almost every VG company); who also consults for Eurogamer.net; well he posts at Beyond3D too and along w/ Quaz51 they figured out the FPS & res/AA for both games.

Digital Foundry TrueHD capture station 60 FPS. Using an Avisynth algorithm duplicate frames and frames w/ tearing aren't counted.

BMW Intro
360: 30.000fps
PS3: 27.705fps

Nissan Intro Test
360: 30.00fps
PS3: 30.00fps

Mustang Intro Test
360: 30.087fps
PS3: 29.913fps

Resolution

360
Race Driver: GRID = 1280x720 (4xAA)

PS3
Race Driver: GRID = 1280x720 (2xAA)

List of Game Rendering Resolutions (Beyond3D)

BBCode formatting ends after every line, which is why your post looks "assy". You're probably better off not changing all your text to an annoying color and oversizing it anyway.

Yea I may have gone a little crazy w/ the pics.

Thanks for the tip Conrad. I didn't want big text i just thought 13 instead of 12 and blue would make it a little easier to read. Oh well, que sera sera.

LOL @ picard pic.


Anyway, the stats show that the game is basically identical on both systems. So the paranoia was just that, paranoia.

Sorry I missed the part where your title and blog had anything to do with each other. Where is the hard facts you promise that prove there was no conspiracy on gametrailers about the GRID videos? All I see are FPS counts.

@razerangel

The FPS & resolution are quantitative facts.

Therefore if both versions are identical, then them putting the wrong version w/ a different system tag wouldn't serve any purpose since both versions are identical.

It's an inferred logic path.

I know what quantitative facts are but it wasnt the frame rate that was being contested, it was the collisons. Really you should have put in a link to the joystiq interview with GT staff where it tells you that they video editors are not game players and do what they are told.

Well watch the new video then. The crashes are identical.

Better yet, download the demo for both consoles and crash in both of them for a bit.

You won't notice a bit of difference 'cause they're the same.

PS3 and 360's are the same, who would have guessed it.

I only gonna download and comment because GRID is relevant to my interests.
