Gametrailers.com: "GT is not biased, PS3 is outdated"

"Look, I'm sick of all the kerfluffle about how GT is biased towards 360 and how GT favors 360 and how GT hates on PS3. That ends now! The fact remains that 360 has just released better content than PS3. Period. See what I did there? I put a period after Period. That means conclusion; the end of discussion. The reason why GT gives 360 games better scores in the reviews is because the games are simply better experiences. The main reason for this--and it is often an overlooked and underestimated one--is because the 360 controller is a far superior gaming device than the Sony controller."

Of how biased they really are. Once a year they seem to get their skirts lifted.

Enjoy.

[sushipoop]

Well this pretty much confirms it. GT is run by 360 fanboys. As if their reviews and comparison videos weren't enough proof of this.

[facepalm]

....Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...

[ultimolu]

That guy just owned himself with that article.

[HighDefinition]

LOL. Completely.

[boodybandit]

I am simply disgusted.
The sad thing is I feel this moron is the norm and not the exception in the gaming media.

[Why o why]

i just clicked refresh and ur pic has changed to another sexy chick lol

Oh and game trailers sucks off viacom who sleeps with MS and they all have that STD known as biasitus eatcumupus

free speach an all that but like ive said b4 theres nothing to stop a blaestar or pog from working in the gaming media (both have good grammar and are actually quite eloquent when they want to be). Working in the media doesnt just magically switch off fanboy tendencies and this is why i dont trust most american sites (no offence) but now you have your 'own team' to shout for a degree of bias is normal. Its human nature and lets not forget that it IS humans that are writing our reviews and forgetting to switch the rgb full on;)

[cmrbe]

suppose to be trained professionals?.

[HighDefinition]

LOL.

That`s how I roll.

Who gives a crap if GT is biased. I certainly don't...believe it or not A LOT of people prefer 360 to PS3...does it make them fanboys? No.

I still don't understand why people hate PS3 controller with a passion. Like WTF. I know just as many people who prefer PS3 controller as i know ppl who prefer 360 and more importantly i know even more people who are real gamers who can find a way to enjoy a game without whining about how their thumbs feel like they are going to touch.

Majority of people prefer 360 controller but fooling yourself into thinking PS3 controller (a controller more than 100million people have used and enjoyed) is a piece of crap is laughable.

People need to step away from these fanboy wars and unnecessary comparisons. Play PS3 game with PS3 controller have a good time play 360 game with 360 controller and have a good time. There is absolutely no reason to cease your good time to ponder which controller feels better unless offcourse you have a good time doing that and you are a fanboy

I still don't think GT is biased but its quite possible that there are 360 fanboys that work for them

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Why is this posted on N4g (News for Gamers) when this is clearly a blog entry? Grumpy from Invisible Walls is bias that was clarified in the last episode of Invisible Walls.

[HighDefinition]

Because it`s a blog of a GT staff member, not just some random internet dweller.

And this is 1000% NEWS FOR GAMERS, regardless.

[cherrypie]

Wow, are you ever ridiculous.

Dont like what the *respected press says*? call them biased.

Gametrailers is better than N4G. This is the **ONLY** place airing stories from psxextreme, blogspot, blorge and qj.net that are trying DESPERATELY to try and portray NXE negatively.

From the absolute RIDICULOUS lies about heat-issues caused by NXE, frmo top to bottom, this site is broken.

Then, here, and ONLY here on N4G could your comment be rated "Agree(14) | Disagree(0)" -- how ridiculous is that?

So, by YOUR estimation NOT having a hate-on for MS & Xbox 360 (Gametrailers) means they are "Xbox 360 fanboys" -- however, YOU and this site are objective?

Are you the same person who thinks that the 6 stories CURRENTLY on the front page of N4G about "avatars sucking", "NXE sucking", "RRoD" and all having an unrelated picture of the 3RR is 'objective'?

Right. Got it. +14 people on this site need a head examination.

[Elimin8]

But this statement alone is proof why they are bias..."The reason why GT gives 360 games better scores in the reviews is because the games are simply better experiences. The main reason for this--and it is often an overlooked and underestimated one--is because the 360 controller is a far superior gaming device than the Sony controller." better looking or not there are multiplat-games out that look just as good on the ps3 as it does on the 360 and vice versa yet still the ps3 always get knockdown because of the graphics. don't get me wrong the graphics does play a major role but i always thought that the point of gameplay is to really make the player feel like he is in the game and in control.. my classmate has the 360 and i must say i love the 360 control because of it's size that and nothing else "I have big hands" but the dualshock 3 IMO is way better WAAAAYYYYYY Better... and much more responsive.....

Edit: also worth mentioning are the analog sticks on the 360 feels quite good. Not the placement on the pad itself but they are easy on the thumbs..... I think nothing is perfect but seriously be fair.........

I read the article as much as I did not want to, but I wanted to be fair in my critic of this #$$. I can go on and on but I will let the rest of my gaming peers pass on their own judgement.....

[ultimolu]

More like idiotic baboons.

[vickers500]

Quote from the end of the article-
I am a video editor not a writer/editorial staff therefore the views expressed in this entry do not represent those of Gametrailers.com.

Yeah GT is still biased, but I don't think they're as biased as this douche, who is just clearly idiotic. At least I hope not, because I love watching their hd video reviews, its the only place I can find an hd review without paying for it (f*ck you and your fee's, ign, I will not pay for opinions in hi def).

So yeah, I am pretty sure Gametrailers isn't as biased as this moron.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Makes sense even though the person clearly states it isn't an editorial when it is one. Since this person is part of the staff there for is considered an editorial.

[Why o why]

not every site is bias OK BUT GT have over the last couple of years have shown on numerous occasions that they are more in favour of the 360 OR against the PS3. I put it down to simple my team vs their team mentality. Answer me this. Does ANY bias against the PS3 exist in your eyes?

Ill even agree that the front page does look bleak for the 360 TODAY but last weak it was probably full of stories knocking sony and/or the ps3 so that proves nothing as its all down to the mods and contributors.

[Maxned]

This is NOT a full statement from Gametrailers, it is simply an OPINION of a staff member. People need to stop speculating and start realizing the facts.

[incogneato]

As if this wasnt enough proof of GameTrailers bias, there's also an interview with the developers of Tekken where the editor in chief at GameTrailers blatantly bashes PS3 and praises 360 over it.

And let's not forget that GameTrailers is owned by MTV Networks which has a big partnership with Microsoft.

Boycott these idiots. Gamersyde has better quality uncompressed videos anyway.

[Nicolator]

I am a 360 fan but that is way out of line... as a part of a neutral site that all gamers come for advice that is not the way to go...

bad bad. bad..

[Homicide]

This is why you can't trust these people. Even the reviewers are fanboys! This goes to all websites. This is unprofessionalism at it's best.

[RPG Guy]

Not going to Gametrailers anymore. I own both consoles (360 and PS3) and enjoy playing games on both. But this is biased media at its finest. To hell with Gametrailers. They fire this guy, I'll be back, till then, the site is no longer on my to visit list.

So much for being fair. Killzone 2 won't deliver? Have you played the BETA??? F'N clown.

[Halochampian]

read the bottom guys...

"I am a video editor not a writer/editorial staff therefore the views expressed in this entry do not represent those of Gametrailers.com."

[drdistracto707]

lets save money and just get your head examined instead...

oh, and it doesnt take much effort to actually READ the article, and if you were blind enough not to see how biased the article was, then you might as well get your eyes checked too!

[Miraak82]

I know right!!! I'm able form fit the ps3 controller in to my hand into many types of gaming styles since I've been using it through its many variations over the past 10 years , I love it. but to totally give the higher up on the 360 do to preference in controller design make you seem like there opinions should be taken as not credible. GT just proved that thier a bunch of Fanboys always having the 360 in back of thier minds first and foremost .... blah , screw them

[HighDefinition]

That wasn`t there before.

LOL

[sunnygrg]

Hah, GT IS biased, and PS3 is the future of gaming.
