Re: MLB 2K8 vs. MLB '08: The Show Graphical Comparison
Not that I'm trying to defuse a situation here (if you guys think it's biased then so be it), but some community members came to me with the idea to do the comparison and so two of them did the screens -- hence why they aren't done on the same screen with the same camera etc. It's a community-done feature which we put on the front page because we support folks who wish to do articles for the site -- assuming they are solid enough. I can agree that the left side looks slightly more "professional" but in no way do I think it's lowballing the other game and may be partly due to how well one game can be captured vs. the other. Even if you say well it looks washed out or something then just judge it on the facials and don't worry so much about the palette -- the color palette is a user-by-user preference since I don't think it's a stretch to say The Show has the more realistic colors but 2K has their own style which can be judged on its own merits.
As for the OS is so anti-2K, I guess the constant praise that's handed out to NBA 2K and College Hoops means nothing. I think we're anti-subpar games perhaps, so you can call us biased for that while we're at it. And the other "I want my money back" article was one of our writers who was passionate about how he felt about the game; we're not going to stop someone from being passionate about what they write, even if it may ruffle some feathers.
Anywho, it's not a big deal I guess we're going to get called biased either way just like every other site...comes with the territory.
