Maybe it is just me but kotaku seems to be really hating on the ps3 lately.

I first noticed it when MGO was rolling around and how they continually kept on hating on it. Then when the guy brought his kid in to review the mario kart wheel and the kid said the wheel isn't as good as 360 controller but it is better than 360 controller. Now he is just a kid but kids are very well influenced by their parents and quite frankly the kid seemed led on to say whatever he was saying.

That was cool but today when they did their impressions its not the part where they said 360 has better frame rate than ps3 or ps3 textures look muddy compared to 360 or a lot of things they seem to say to support the 360 over ps3 that got me but it was where they said

"If this were a personal decision, I'd have chosen the PlayStation 3 edition, mostly based on my preference for the DualShock controller and the performance edge. However, one thing that we have yet to experience is how well the PlayStation Network will handle the online portions of GTA IV, an extremely important consideration. I place less of an emphasis on features like Achievements and Gamerscore, but appreciate how well crafted and important these features are to others."

Here they insinuate that the psn is simply not capable of handling GTA4. Treating the psn like an unknown factor whereas Xbox Live has been struggling with online issues for a while now.

After all this they completely rip apart sixaxis controls. Most reviewers see sixaxis support as a plus but kotaku doesn't it is apparently a waste of time. For me personally i kind of like doing reloads with sixaxis, its fast and quick and i wouldn't mind doing a wheelie on a bike with sixaxis or playing bowling with sixaxis either.

I think this is a little bit a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

To even argue that PSN is superior to xbox live is utterly laughable considering the facts.

Most reviewers certainly do not see Sixaxis as anything useful.

Case and point with GTA, every review says you'll probably turn the Sixaxis controls off.

I do find Kotaku odd though, they say the opposite about what was said in GTA graphical superiority, yet, they still conclude that the PS3 version has an edge, after contradicting that.

I think il use the reloading feature for Sixaxis

that sounds cool

although it seems like they could have implemented the Sixaxis functionality better and in more creative ways considering how expansive GTA4 is

Well, until XBL can prove it can operate without crashing for more than a couple weeks I think PSN has the 1up over XBL on reliability, kinda like the console, ZING.

Anyway seriously though, XBL's P2P is not gonna win versus PSN's dedicated server, the connection is always reliable, fast, and strong. The only argument you got now really now is custom soundtracks and more stuff in XBL's market place.

Testament to PSN's reliability, it's been functional since day one without crashes.

Kotaku has been bitter at Sony ever since that incident a few years back when they let the cat out of the bag about Home and Sony got pissed at them over it.

Let us call a spade a spade.

When it comes to features live beats psn when it comes to reliability, psn has the edge. From what i gathered from their tone it would seem like they were suggesting psn online service may not be reliable for handling GTA4 and imo ps3 has prooved itself with enough games to show it can stack up to xbox live in terms of performance and it doesn't seem to go down as often as xbox live.

Their comments towards the psn were simply false.

Sonarus don't make comment that aren't true, Live had problems at christmas becuase of a spike in population, it doesn't have problems most of the time.

Since PSN has a history of having weaker performance online then Live, except in the situation of Sony made games that have dedicated servers.

What history?

You don't own a PS3 right?
I am curious which games have a weaker performance online?

I am not making untrue comments my point is simply that it makes no sense for kotaku to label hints of psn unreliability when in reality its xbox live that has been unreliable lately. Just because psn is free doesn't mean the performance is 2nd rate. On all the games i play the connection is excellent with ocassional lag on some titles mostly EA but i have a 360 and i notice the same type of lag. Based on strictly performance xbox live and psn are equal

I once sent Brian Crecente a polite email questioning why the PS3 was put down in an article. They guy is a complte ass. He sent me the rudest email back. The guy is a complete p***k.

sigh I'll look for sources later, but history has shown that performance on live for multiplatform games is better, I've yet to see or hear of an instance where that isn't true. Vegas 2 had way more problems on PSN then it did on Live

Well you can go on believing that but i own both consoles and performance wise they are exactly the same.

@el savador. Yea i think it was brian crecente that was bashing MGO.

Its been so hard for some of these sites to admit ps3 version has the edge in performance.

Sixaxis ia gimmick, and Kotaku is entitled to their opinions.  Heaven forbid their be one site that doesn't pamper their stories and reviews to the Sony crowd, which has obviously become the hardcore base on all internet video game console sites, just for more hits.  I think you need to stop crying about what other people think and just play the game.

Thanks for your input.

I don't like to buy into that biased reviews bullsh!t but when they unnecessarily bagged on the psn insinuating it couldn't perform as well as xbox live i just felt that was hypocritical considering live had been going through its issues. Everyone offcourse is entitled to their own issues but like i said kotaku has been harsh on ps3 lately.
