Hey check this one out.

Why do these types of sites lie.

Nice to see the kind of pride and respectability these people at Gametrailers have...

Oh wait, they don' t have any.

Thought I' d seen that before - (see bottom post)

http://forums.kikizo.com/tm.asp?m=138359&p=1&mpage=2&tmode=1&smode=1&key=&language=

As for the video, I dont even see the difference between the two they were trying to show...ones a side crash causing the car to flip, the others a head on crash into a wall. Has anyone even seen the original video on gametrailers?

My impression was it was a simple cock up as Taz said - and some chadwarden wannabe youtuber got offended.

Sorry but the only way to compare a multiformat game, is to have the exact same setup (Same monitor or TV.) and run them parallel, until people or rather companies or reviewing sites do that then they can never be taken seriously, because there is always scope for mis-representation.

Was a mistake. Seriously doubt they did it on purpose...... People are too quick to jump on the hate bandwagon.

My initial thoughts were that this was pretty funny, followed up with a big who cares.
Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

Both games were recorded, and footage from the PS3 was accidentally placed in their 360 folder. Gametrailer' s post-production editor has no background in gaming whatsoever, so would not be looking for mistakes like that. As for their " censoring issues" ? People are too busy flaming to realize that the trailer was pulled down for innacuracies, thus deleting every comment posted by users, including the ones critical of GameTrailers.

All of the logical points aside... " GameTrailers LIES AGAIN!" ? I mean... really. Name me off the top of your head the number of times GameTrailers has lied to you, and about what.

People are jumping on the ignorant flame fu.cktrain without any knowlege of what they' re pissed off at. If every person on the internet did a minute of research on what they were discussing, the world would be so much better off.

The funniest part about this is how people actually started bashing people because of the commentary track of that video...and the funny thing is: GT Video Comparisons never feature any commentary whatsoever. It' s fun to see how gulible people are nowadays and how easily they jump on the hate wagon.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I guess the people still accusing never bothered to read that Joystiq article eh? Oh well whatever, its a site primarily for game trailers and videos. Who cares if they are bias or not.
