GameTrailers did it again, those cooky cats!

Hello shit-storm how have you been? I see you've been busy over at Gametrailers.com

Earlier this week GameTrailers.com posted this video. Which has since been taken down.

After PS3 fanboys when ass shit fuck balls crazy in the comments section they took it down for this reason.

Just another one of those stupid comparison videos right? Wrong, this time they forgot to edit the console specific characteristics of the game out.

I've been saying for a while now that GameTrailers.com has been fudging with the footage to make the contrast look different on the PS3 version, but obviously the fanboys have to have something to fight about. So there is your indisputable proof that GameTrailers.com has been posting bullshit. Especially when it says Xbox 360 at the bottom of the screen when there are clear ps buttons, but for some reason, the colors look different.

GameTrailers.com, you assholes.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Looks like the hand in the cookie jar alright..lol.

Haha, gametrailers got their stupid asses pwned.

Just to play devils advocate, sometimes during development you will use images from a different resource because you haven't yet made the other ones. I'm not saying this is whats happening, it probably isn't, but for awhile one of my xna games on PC had a picture of a 360 controller...

hahah busted

I don't get it... they're pissed because they accidentally labeled the PS3 as Xbox360, and the car crash was cooler with the falsely labeled Xbox360 clip? Did gametrailers at any point specifically say that the Xbox360 version had better physics than the PS3 version?

Owned! I always thought those comparison trailers sucked anyway.

I'm not much for comparison videos...But if that was the case, isn't this as big as the Gamespot creadability issue when they admitted a reviewer didn't actually play the game he reviewed fully? I would think it would be on par with that...In any case, the game looks sweet...

bhive01

I'd say that his F5 button no longer has any writing on it...

Nice find Nate.

I will only watch gametrailers to see how a title is coming along. Not for comparison videos....BUT it looks like M$ has been spooning around with GT this generation, NO?

P.s.
In other News... What else is new.

If I gave a shit about how one version of the game looks compared to the other, this might rile me. Then again, people do make mistakes from time to time and this could just be an example of somebody mislabeling footage or accidentally using the wrong file. I'm not defending GameTrailers or anything, since they need to be called on this sort of stuff when it comes around, but not everything has to be a conspiracy, guys.

Crunshii

those sunava bishes... that is sooo messed up. I never knew about this...

This makes me wonder all those comparison videos they posted where the 360 has always been shown with more brightness and contrast... wtf!? is this the case?

Ocified-Xboxer

brainderailment---If anything I thought the 360 side looked blurry at times, and then they flipped it over...I don't think they knew what they were doing in putting the video up all together...I can't say if it was a conspiracy though...

Takeshi

Fuck this shit. You guys remember the Assassins Creed video? I hate comparison video's and Gametrailers.com for making them. I'll just watch Jeuxfrance.com for video's from now on.

TheDespised

Assholes and their silly conspiracies. I'm talkin' about you stupid fucks and the shitstorm over comparison videos. WHO FUCKING CARES? GET A LIFE LOSERS!!!

TheDespised

Oh by the way Matlock, it's kooky.
