Kotaku has run negative stories on Microsoft also. You know why? Because they run everything they can get their hands on, whether it's valid, true, insightful, relevant, or not.

Incompetence is a lot more likely than conspiracy in this case.

sorry, but that's not how it works in the real world. when you make a claim, you back it up.

now, nowhere in that link does it prove your claim about Uncharted 2.

maybe it wouldn't be so hard next time if you stop making things up

i've been around long enough to know when someone who just got busted tells people to go chase imaginary links. :lol:

it's fine if you don't want to admit that you made it up.

[QUOTE="EdenProxy"] Links have been posted in this thread yet you choose to ignore them. Its not my job to go searching through 13 pages because you came late. mystervj

lulwut? uncharted 2 and the slim are two different things.

[QUOTE="o0squishy0o"]

Good Day! I am....Brian Crecente. Ahahahahaha! Ahaha! Ahaha! Ah! Hhahahaha!

Kotaku is a blog. That they have little credibility and don't always bother checking facts and sources is implied, so I don't quite understand why there's this big reaction when what everyone suspected was the case, turns out to be the case. The response to such "news" ought to be a resounding shrug.

Well, tis obvious this video was faked and GT 5 isnt as slow loading as they made it out to be.

Cows always seem to think there is a conspiracy against their beloved PS3. They always get the most butthurt over these articles. It is one thing to call out Kotaku for messing up but do you really believe they are out to get the Sony or GT5? It is just lazy journalism.

Another score for the Xbros! XboxRepublic rulez xD

This reminds me when CheapyD from the CAG.com site said the PS3 of RDR was inferior to the 360 version and most of the Sony fans jumped on him and stuff and didn't believe him and called him bias and not credible.

Even if the video was slowed down, he load times were long. PS3 fanboys shouldn't be surprised as the PS3 generally suffers from slow loadtimes. The BD drive has slow read times, couple thatwith 25-50gb of data to search and viola, you have slow load times.

All's fair.

So let me ask - which fanboy am i exactly? To what console am i supposedly so blindly loyal? :roll:

:lol:Well played.

I don't know about bias, the other articles posted seem to indicate a possible bias, but without going to the site and scouring their articles (which I'm not gonna do) nothing is definitive. The thing is, they really should screen a video before posting it, and the sound cutting out half way should have at least led to a second, more scrutinizing viewing.

I mean, how could they not watch it before posting it? Anything could be jammed in the middle of the video, donkeys with midgets or something. But, I can see not recognizing that is in slo-mo, since I didn't really see it until I saw the sped up version, which made it clear.

Kotake is just a Link Blog, Skip the words and just click on the links. They are horrible at all their attempts to be legit and are the most pretentious group of "jouranlists" on the internet.

EDIT: Just to make myslef clear i could care less about the this game or loading times, this is more of a critique of Kotaku as a whole.

conspiracy theories making a comeback?

"Update 2: We asked Sony about the theories that the video has been doctored to show slower load times. A spokesperson told us that no one on the GT5 product team in the U.S. had witnessed load times as slow as the one depicted in the video posted here. Has the video been altered? Was there something up with that build of GT5 that day? Does the game load its tracks that slowly? We can point to this video, cited by readers, of another pre-release version of the game loading the Nurburgring track more quickly. But we cannot confirm this video has been altered."

They've now taken the time to update this twice, and then subsequently remove the last line "But we cannot confirm this video has been altered." (probably because of how easy it is to tell the video has been altered.)

But they haven't found the time to change the title of the story, nor simply pull the misleading story altogether.

So presumably they are just trying to stir **** for hits now. Seriously, it just makes them look dumb.

Slowing down a video to make a game look bad? Why on Earth would a website do this? This is probably the most pathetic thing I have ever seen since I started gaming, Kotaku should be shut down. We all knew they were biased but to stoop this low is unacceptable.

Kotaku's got a bias against intelligence.Cherokee_Jack

xD. Yeah.... also... awesome sig.

The video had me going till I saw this thread, I feel so stupid, I was moaning to myself all day about it. I'm so glad it's a fake, I love going to Kotaku but agree there being wack for not changing the title or plain out saying the video is docotored. I guess I let the graphics and detail cloud my vision.

Hmm, I dunno but....

:P

Up until now I had some respect for Kotaku. Blatently doctored/altered video.

Kotaku post news, who gives a crap if they have a bias, that's like complaining that System Wars posters are biased, well duh, who cares.bobbetybob

I don't think it's bias, I just think Kotaku made a mistake :P.fabz_95

Reminds me when everyone was getting excited about NG2, and all N4G could do was point out the excess blood. :|

But long loading times do irritate me.

It bothers me in Forza 3, when you load or restart a race.

Kotaku has its uses but should not be relied upon as a news source.

one site actually doesnt like the ps3? thats suprising lol

I'm sorry, I don't see the connection between the title, which speaks of anti ps3 bias, and the content of the thread, which speaks only of an article concerning a racing game.
