does gamespot not like ps3 or something?

they seem to constantly bashing the ps3 version of multi-plat games and this (farcry 2 console preview):

We also spotted one other juicy piece of information in the demo--there will be 'platform-specific content' coming in the future,so expect some Xbox 360 exclusives postrelease.(http://au.gamespot.com/ps3/action/farcry2/news.html?sid=6196418&mode=previews)

what? do they just assume that the 360 will get the content and not ps3? seeing as the game is a major PC game wont it be for them? what about different content for different platforms?

They gave MGS4 a 10, and you say they are biased.

they report facts. if those facts arent to your liking, then blame sony.

dont shoot the messenger.

The only I did get is every time you search up or read anything about a multiplatform title, it's always about the Xbox360 version and usually the PS3 version is hardly or sometimes never mentioned. It's does make one question, is Gamespot bias?anime_gamer007

Agreed but just those little things makes me question. It seems to me every time they report or write about a multiplatform title's updates, there's more of an emphasis on the 360 version as oppose to the PS3 version.For example, everytime you watch On The Spot and you look down in the little box to see what games they're going to show, 99% of the time multiplats are credited as 360 titles instead of 360/PS3.

True.However I never said it was a conspiracy nor do I worry, I'm simply questioning and wondering why there is more of an emphasis on the 360 version of multiplatform games.

[QUOTE="diangelogrey"]I just find it weird that nearly every single news piece is about a xbox 360 version of a game. There is barely any news at all about the ps3 titles coming which to me seems odd. It is also the same with the videos, they are always of the xbox versions. Strange but oh well..mistergamer2006

EXACTLY!

i really think GS is biased... they clearly favour the 360... there might be reasons for tht... but they still treat the ps3 fair tho... but when ever they do news for a game thts multiplat its about the 360 and every vid is on the 360

i get annoyed about it sumtimes but i jus always switch to ps3 pages when links always lead to the 360 one

Also, MGS4=10 proves that GS is not biased.

It is up to what the devs give them. The system with the larger install base= better coverage.

I really dislike clicking a PS3 video link and being directed to a xbox 360 video. I would much rather see what I thought I was clicking on rather then something for another system. Yes I like the 360 but I really think they are a totally different machine and they both run games very differently to each other.

I also personally find it weird the way the systems are ordered in the bar at the top of gamespot. PC, Xbox 360, Wii, ps3, ps2, psp and then ds.

Yes they ate there words later about the DS but I think they still go out of there way to push there own favourites first in many subtle ways.

[QUOTE="jojothekid"]i read somewhere that says farcry will look slightly better on ps3 pyromaniac223

Lol dude where did you get that info ? PS3 to have better aliasing and smoother frame rates in Far Cry 2.

"The developer says that the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions have been developed from the same core build, so they'll all share the same features," wrote Gamespot's Guy Crocker. "While we didn't see the PS3 version, it's claimed that the aliasing on Sony's machine outperforms that of the 360, while on the PC it's all dependent on the specifications of your machine."

Far Cry 2 to look the same on all platforms :

"Apparently, the game will not be "better" on PC than on consoles, as Redding promises the games will be pretty much equal across the board. He also promised a near seamless experience, unlike Oblivion, which Redding said has a several times smaller game world than Far Cry 2's. "

but they did say when gta iv came out that they prefered to play on the 360 because it was more trustworthy. what kind of excuse is that?

[QUOTE="jojothekid"]i read somewhere that says farcry will look slightly better on ps3 pyromaniac223

They never said that..

Did they?

They said the PS3 version would be a bit cleaner than the PC version, also mentioning that Farcry 2 was easier to develop on the PS3 or something like that.

that may be true, but its sort of a standard for linking news on GS. besides, 360 got here first

"Far Cry 2 is also a beautiful game, at least on PC. Clever shading based on layers not textures means the game can scale to your PC, and the powerful demonstration machine displayed a crisp, sun-drenched, coherent and detailed landscape; one both functional and flattering, given the decision to all but scrap a HUD. Requirements will be typically lower than bitter rival Crysis, we're told, but Far Cry 2 will happily get the most out of even the most monstrous rig. Redding describes the console versions as comparable to a "medium load-out on PC", and warns us that, "graphically you're going to notice slight differences". Which we did. The Xbox 360 was the better of the two with its anti-aliasing, but both looked unspectacular and even drab in points. Far from ugly, mind you."

? thats the only website ive seen that says that 360 looks better. how could this be true when ps3 has had better anti-aliasing in the past on multi-plat?

and can we get off the far cry-ps3 vs 360 thing because i will probably get modded

I wasn't talking about the 360 graphics. I was mostly using that paragraph for the "consoles=equivalent of medium settings on PC" quote. Sorry for not bolding it. That was in response to the person who said it looks the same on consoles as PC, and that one guy who said it will look and run better on PS3.pyromaniac223

oh yeh i agree. it will never look as good on ps3/360 as pc

i read somewhere that says farcry will look slightly better on ps3 jojothekid

Thats what they said with GTA IV and Mercs 2, and possibly every other multi-plat.

So you pirate games?

And don't forget. They come out with a console every 5 or more years, computers need to either get upgraded or replaced before then. My comp is only 3 years old and I'm starting to get these annoying lag spikes in games like COD4 and CS (I've also had to dish out some money on new parts in between). AND, you don't need an HDTV, sure it makes the gaming experience much more enjoyable (it has for me) but it's not a necessity, plus you have to buy all these computer parts that cost a lot of money.

thread highjackage. oh well. whos getting the game? for what platform (multi-plat owners?)FatChuwawa

You just pressed triangle and jacked his thread up :lol:
