Quantcast



What happens when an attention whore makes a video of Gears of War running on a PlayStation 3? It starts off with many, many people getting pissed off and sending plenty of hate mail. Then, a few morons actually fall for the fake and tell their friends how the PS3 is the ultimate gaming experience.

The next phase of this vicious cycle results in the creator taking his fake video down because he couldn't handle the YouTube community and their rage against everyone. Finally, one ambitious person makes a video parodying the original hoax by “playing” Resistance: Fall of Man on his 360.

If you could use a good laugh, watch the parody video after the break.

Yeah it's like how many times have we seen "Wii on DS" or "Wii on GBA" or "Wii on tiny tiny 1 inch screen"... it's too repetitive theres not even anything involved

He wishes he could play Gears on PS3. Then he'd have something besides Resistance to play.

somehow I don't think that "being serious" was one of the goals of that video...

Read his YouTube comments. We tore him a new one. He must have sat in a corner and cried.

Do people have THIS much time on their hands? It's kinda funny someone would do this, but at the same time... kinda sad. Funny but sad someone would actually think of this.

ChaosKnight,

You find it kind of funny. But you find it kind of sad?.... Heh... Heh, I don't know if you meant for that pun there. But if so, good play sir - good play.

I fell for it like a tool! I quickly mailed it to Grim and Co., and was quickly corrected.

Legally Gears is not possible on PS3, but technically? Of course.

Dear StompOnYou,
Have you checked the rest of the Internet? I'm pretty sure Destructoid isn't the only website that has bad things to say about the PS3. Please don't take it so personally. They'll start liking the PS3 once there are reasons to like it.

So many fanboys/trolls showing up lately. Is there a Mayan prophecy or something I don't know about?

What Dex said. When there are more exclusive PS3 games worth getting, I would be more than happy to pick up the system. Until then, I'm not going to pretend that the PS3 is something it's not.

Have you ever heard the expression, "Can't lose something you didn't want?"

Which is directed at StompOnYou.
Not Gears... I terribly want Gears.
