[PS3]Gametrailers Admit they don't use RGB Full Option

[F9zDark]

From: http://n4g.com/News-100018.aspx

"We don't create these videos for the fanboys. That's not the point. We create them so that people who own both systems can be a little more informed on which version to buy. It's the fanboys that turn the comments section for these videos into a debacle.

As for using RGB or adjusting the white levels on the PS3, that completely defeats the point of these videos. We play both systems on default settings with the same cabling. If we were to adjust the settings on the PS3 to make it look better then we'd be sacrificing the integrity of the video. It's not the other way around."

Many comparison videos of games on the PS3 and Xbox360 from Gametrailers have the PS3 version looking faded; which is often cited against the PS3. However, if the TV allows RGB Full, it is on by default. Otherwise it is off to save energy.

bloody fanboy assholes

[DPyro]

LoL. Gametrailers = fail.

[JKKDARK]

I think Gametrailers are doing it right.

[DPyro]

No, their not. Their refusing to enable a feature and yet complaining the video looks washed out.

[JKKDARK]

Why? Because both systems in default mode proved the 360 is doing better? Of course, changing to a better settings, the PS3 will be better than the 360 in default.

It isn't doing better, default setting for the PS3 as Sony designed it, is HDMI, 1080p with RGB Full on (is on automatically on HDMI that is plugged into a TV that allows it).

They "say" they cannot record videos through HDMI. More like its because they don't have a 360 with an HDMI port (which is what about all 12 million of them out there?)

you tell it brotha!

Who cares what you think, you're a stupid whining fan boy/it/thing.

I'm afraid i have to agree, sony built a HD console microsoft didn't, its microsofts problem not sony's.

Very interesting. Read the rules (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/announcement.php?f=37&a=4) before posting.

Well if anybody can record from the HDMI please let me know how!! I'm sure so many hackers and pirates would love to be able to do this too.

With that in mind, and the fact that there are Xbox360 Elites out there also with HDMI output, then if HDMI direct recording was possible THEN a decent comparison could be made. As it is the only way they can capture the video is via component cables which is not the PS3's strong point obviously.

With component o/p the 360 seems to be a little bit better. With HDMI who knows as a comparison is not so easy to do... plus not all 360's can even have HDMI o/p. (mine can't btw.).

So there is a point to Gametrailers comparisons but it doesn't excuse them from not saying whether or not the so called "faded" look etc.. is an issue when using HDMI with the PS3.

p.s. Just for note, "most" HDTV's are LCD and the colour depth of these are quite poor. Anyone got a CRT Full HDTV? Thought not!

HDMI full is a non issue if the testing is done via component cables, all device outputs vary however and i do wonder if any measures are taken to ensure correct calibration of the TV for both sources. Tvs feature extensive settings for a reason, and any colour, contrast, brightness, sharpness settings can usally be rectified.

[DPyro]

If they really wanted to do a comparison they would compare the consoles to their full potential. But as far as I'm concerned, gametrailers is owned by Viacom and Viacom is getting money from Microsoft.

[Lycan_Ste]

All i will say is i made my decision when i picked metal gear solid over halo.

[VexnadFett]

I observe a lot and i am really tired of seeing jkkdark comment negatively in the ps3 area and think anyone cares what he has to say...
His signature is also frustrating and tired, he should take a break from commenting news ^c^

Well, maybe not stupid - but whining fanboy still counts.

Cloudy

[lmtlmt]

no JKKDARK is stupid cloudy and dont say otherwise.

[yaustar]

Keep the personal insults down. I don't mind if you objectively disagree but if you have to insult someone to get your point across then I will start issuing straight infractions without warnings.

Well can JKKDark get infractions for flamebaiting all the damn time? Its one thing to be part of a flame war, its wholly another to start it.

[Cloudhunter]

JKKDARK goes out of his way to insult the PS3 at absolutely every turn, and frankly I'm getting sick of it - especially as being a news poster he represents the site.

Everyone notices it, but it seems like the mods/admins have a blind spot where he is concerned.

I'm a long standing member of this site, follow the rules by the letter (I've NEVER had an infraction), and it's my favourite site for news - but it could do without people like him flaming/baiting.

Cloudy

[lmtlmt]

well said mate

[Balthasar00]

Agree with you Cloudy he's annoying.

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Honestly, I think everyone here is being a fanboy.

Now can we please continue with discussion without flames at eachother?

Sure, JKKDark is a flamebaiter, I've known.

But he hasn't gone unpunished for it.

Just let him go and he'll get punished again.

Flaming him helps nothing.

On topic, quite frankly, I don't care either way.

I'd prefer to own a 360 because most of my friends and cousins do, but I prefer my low-quality graphic, high-quality game Wii, personally.

I am sorry, but allowing such a person to remain on the staff after their behavior is unconscionable. Sure the staff are people too, but would you eat or shop at a store where the employees spoke of various vulgar topics, graphically, in the midst of children? (or any other discourteous act).

Most people would not.

Eh, I know.

I was demodded for spaaaaaazing over IRC in the forums, so I guess it makes sense.

At least I'm still the Grammar Nazi..

[DPyro]

JKKDARK is not staff, just a news poster. He has no other special privileges besides posting news.

[Ultima Chocochu]

LoL. Gametrailers = fail.

XD
Agreed.

Again, agreed
I have nothing against you Jkkdark but, there is no need to down the PS3 every chance you can, no one cares and it is very unneeded, and I'm beginning to think 360 fanboys are way worse than the PS3 ones are claimed to be.

From what I've seen, they really are worse than PS3 fanboys.

I've gotten bitched out on another forum just for saying that 2D fighters play better on the PlayStation controller. Then we have people like JKKDark spewing insults about the PS3 every time they get a chance. I mean sure I've seen people bash the 360, hell, I even do it every now and then when people bash the PS3; but I've never seen people bash the 360 as much as the PS3 has been bashed.

A friend (?) of mine called me stupid for purchasing a PS3 instead of a 360 last November. Was it his place to do so? No because it was my decision. So why can't all of these ****tards just stop bashing the console? If you don't like it, then just ignore it.

[chris-007]

The Xbox360 has a similar setting: The "Reference level" shoud be set to extended for PC Displays. I don't know about TV though.
