Somethings Weird About GT's GRID Comparison...?

May 10, 2008 in News comments 10

Gametrailers.com usually makes comparison footage of multiplatform games. But when they hosted their GRID comparison, there was something fishy about it. A member noticed that when the ps3 footage switched over to the 360 footage the controle scheme on the top corner was the PS3 buttons. Whats Gametrailers up too?

Here is yet another comparison for an anticipated upcoming game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Race Driver: GRID. They both look almost exactly the same, but I noticed at the end when they changed from PlayStation 3 to Xbox 360, the buttons at the bottom for the PlayStation 3 stayed. What is GameTrailers up to? Or is it just a mistake?

Update 12:10AM: GameTrailers have taken down the video.

Update 9:24AM: A gamer has gotten it up on YouTube showing the lies of the video

    Finally perhaps this trend of saying the Playstation 3 has the inferior version can cease, sites have been doing it for the past year and half, IGN have no stopped doing it perhaps PS3 games have now gotten to a standard where this kind of shit cannot be tolerated anymore, but Gametrailers are pathetic still trying to pull this stunt.

    Looks like a mistake to me. I don't understand the "fancy crashes" conspiracy.

      In a video, Gametrailers was trying to prove that the 360 had better crash physics and much fancier crashes overall in GRID. They basically just made themselves look stupid though.

    Having done that, will just create rumours that the Xbox version is gonna have worse graphics than if they just did a proper comparison.

      I have a better idea, how about people stop comparing and buy the version of the game that suits you more.

      Comparison videos are whats spawning and fueling the So called Fanboy console wars. It needs to stop.

        Wow. You've taken a turn for the better since last year Final Blade. I seem to remember you getting banned from the PS3 forum and the subheading being 'The fanboy threat has been elimintaed'... Anyway.

        I hardly think, Cdemon, that this was a 'mistake' as you put it. If they were trying to prove the 360 version had better crash physics... why not use the 360 game as opposed to the PS3 version to show this? It's absurd.
