GameTrailers, once again, have fudged the film in their comparison of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Look at about 48 seconds in, and you'll see a vertically-split comparison between the "PlayStation 3" version and the Xbox 360 version of the Wolverine demo.
In case GameTrailers has this video pulled, as they have in the past when their screwjobs show up on YouTube, here is a screenshot I took of the YouTube video:
Now, this is not the first, nor the second time that GameTrailers have pulled this kind of crap. If you remember their GRiD comparison, they claimed it was an honest mistake. Riiiight.
Video comparisons do nothing but incite fanboy flamewars to begin with, but when you have video editors clearly doctoring footage to make the supposed PS3 footage look worse than the 360 footage, that is just a douchebag thing to do.
Considering that the DualShock 3 does not have an A button, it escapes my mind how else the footage on the left could look different than the footage on the right, when this is obviously footage from only one console... The only explanation is that they are screwing with the contrast and brightness on the PS3 footage to make things look more washed out than they actually are.
GameTrailers should be ashamed, and stop posting these pointless videos. Microsoft should stop paying them, too. But then, I guess considering the 360 has nothing in its exclusive game lineup this year, and the PS3 is finally surpassing the 360 as developers get a handle on the hardware, something needs to be done to help the 360 owners feel good about their investment. And manipulating video of third-party titles seems to be that solution.

Someone should ask Raven what they think of GT falsifying their implied half assed job. Its funny that if you scroll to the bottom of SSG's front page you see the article about Raven's "Singularity" being the same experience on all consoles.

metal gear 4 never came out the way it was suppose after Sony said the ps3 was a game developer dream come true an it was endless to what they wanted to do in a game. the xbox360 Graphic unit is way far better than the ps3 so it does not matter if the game developers understand the ps3 it still wont matter to the xbox360. ninja gaiden sigma 2 dont even look as good as the xbox360 ninja gaiden 2. why does all the xbox360 games look sooooo dam good for a crappy system an the ps3 games look so washed out LOW FRAME RATE,LOW TEXTURE & LOW PIXEL COUNT. Sony let me down buying my ps3 was a mistake i only use it to play movies. SO DONT GO AROUND FINDING A REASON TO BLAME MICROSOFT TO MAKE YOU AS PS3 FANS TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF AN YOUR BELOVING PS3 GET A LIFE

@shamslayer: How much you want to sell your PS3 for?

Why is it that trolls can never seen to write properly. Honestly, I can't tell which is worse: the absolute fanboy slant to that rant, or how horribly formatted it is. Ugh.

@Laurie: Well, at the grade school I attended, trolls were only allowed to attend up to grade 3. After that their stench was too powerful to allow them to mix with the general populace and they were denied a further education.
I imagine proper syntax, grammar and punctuation is hard when you're self taught from cigarette packs and cereal boxes.
Aww, that's cute. Honestly, I''m apathetic.
