Sony tries to secretly wiki-diss Halo 3 and fails Posted by XanTium | September 4 14:28 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From xbox360fanboy.com: [QUOTE] Our friends over at Sony HQ must be at their whits end with all this Halo 3 talk, because they devilishly and secretly stuck it to the Halo franchise with a ::gasp:: Wikipedia revision! Using WikiScanner, it was discovered that an IP address originating out of Sony's UK studios edited the Wikipedia entry for "Halo series" dissing Halo 3's graphics. Sony's Wiki revision poked fun of the game's graphics by saying that they "wont look any better than Halo 2". Ouch Sony, just ouch. But don't worry Halo fanboys, because the Halo series wiki entry has since been corrected and set to a semi-locked status. Take that Halo haters! [/QUOTE] Full Story: xbox360fanboy.com

If this is true, then it's pretty desperate of Sony.

Maybe people should just boycott the PS3.. oh wait, looks like people are anyway.

i'm worried that halo3 won't live up to the hype it has, however i think it will still be a great game. look at the situation sony is in, there is nothing they can do other then try to play down halo and talk trash. their only game that had me interested got absolutely terrible reviews (lair).

I'm a Halo fanboy. I can admit that.

I'm a sony hater. I can admit that.

I have a problem. I can admit that too.

But until Sony admits this, I've lost all respect for all their products.

That's just sad.

And yes, my respect for Sony is clearly important. I secretly have immense power over the gaming industry

It was most likely some guy who happened to be working for sony who edited it while bored at work or who thought the game was overhyped, i doubt their PR group made some calls to have people edit it

I seriously doubt some Sony employee is this loyal to his company.
I don't know why anyone would give Sony the benefit of the doubt given their track record of deceit.
(psp hype youtube vids, need I say more?)

This is an all time low for Sony.
Just when you think they can't go any lower, they out do themselves.
But this time it's personal, they are attacking the chief!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT

It's Wiki, it is low though on Sony's part. I doubt Sony did it purposely probably just an employer getting paid to piss around on the Internet.

Anyway the editor is pretty dumb to say that because I bet he aint played the test version after beta, even Bungie admitted will look a lot better in final.

And persides it's not all about graphics right?

If this person believes that, than why not do it from home instead of your work.

[SueMiBlitch]

oh no, the halo 3 graphics will not be better than halo 2!

i'm sure if that were the case, the screenshots i've seen must be just rediculously photoshopped... not to mention those fake videos floating out there

and lets remember hte golden rule in gaming... gameplay first, graphics second... there have been far too many games that take graphics to the next level but you can't stand to play them

[kawaxbox]

wow sony must really hate Halo now, oh well I guess the ps3 song was right, they killed their brand (only in gaming lol)

i have played the beta. im a halo 1 fan not a halo 2 and i loved the halo 3 beta. the gameplay is soooo much fun, smooth, and balanced. the graphics are not the best but they are good. i really like the graphics, i dont need more from the graphics really. playing it on hd... it looks awesome. gameplay first, good graphics second. by the way, wtf is up with sony... fucken idiots, i love their games like MGS and stuff. im loosing respect to the company.

like it matters in the first place....no ones gonna go off of that wiki page whether to buy it or not...halo is the biggest game ever created and sony has nothing to answer for it.
