Graphical comparison videos are all the rage. Web sites stoke the fires of fanboyism by trying to highlight almost invisible and completely negligible discrepancies between the graphics of multiplatform games. Who are we to argue with the trend? It's high time Destructoid got a ride on that gravy train!
We've already put Resident Evil through its paces to prove without a doubt that the PlayStation 3 version is superior. What about Street Fighter IV, however? How does Capcom's hottest new title shape up in the battle of the eye candy? Watch our Comparison Attack video and find out!

If there is suppose to be a video there, its not commin up. I don't know whats wrong, all the other videos come up no problem. Just letting you guys know, maybe its just me does anyone else have this problem????
Hm..sorry. Gonna have to side with SF4 on this. While the graphics and animation of Miss LAU-PER is impressive indeed, the sound design is abysmal in comparison to Street Fighter 4's apparent invincibility. :D
You are going to get so many comments about your pronounciation of Lauper, it will eclipse any debate about SFIV's graphics. Or the graphics of Cindi Lauper's videos, for that matter.
wow Jim I just love how you are pushing an okay, on the fly podcast joke into an insanely funny video feature.
Your work at Destructoid is truly amazing and the receent addition of narrated videos is more than welcome.
LOL. Anyone who says FAIL just doesnt get that its SUPPOSED TO FAIL and the video was purely made with the intent to make fun of the idiots on the internet making up stupid comparison videos.
ZOMG JIM STERLING! YOU ARE A BIASED BIAS LOVER!!!!!11 OBVIOUSLY YOU AREN'T PLAYING ON A HDTV. 360 IS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN LAUPER. FAIL. WE'RE DONE PROFESSIONALLY JIM. DONE.
Sigh, another clearly bias comparison courtesy of Mr. Sterling. It makes me sick that such a clear fanboy has been not only permitted to cry about the superiority of his chosen system, in this case being Miss Lauper, but he is almost idolized for it. Jim's irresponsible antics show his true colors, the colors of BIAS.
I agree wholeheartedly except as far as the interiors go for Lauper; I don't quite like those but I admit that it is a completely subjective opinion. Also, let me be a dick and point out that the word is "discrepAncies", "discrepAncies..."

But either way, that was awesome.
good video... I love random ramblings...
I wouldn take cindy lauper over xbox 360 any day of the week. 80s cindy lauper, not the way she is now, though.
Jim another great video, this was classic, keep doing more, your sarcastic sense of humor doesn't get dry.

Otherwise, impressively random video. I love you.

This was intentional. :-)
Anyway, other than that GLARING error, well done, Jim. I have to agree with the points you made. Cindy Lauper is much better.
I appreciate the non-BIAS. Good work.
FAIL .. for thinking you have to explain it to us in detail :P
But SF4 looks better than my massive dump
