Points of Jem's ignorance:

1. Was not aware that NTSC and PAL standard-definition TV systems are generally incompatible and have been for...oh let's see now...forever. There are exceptions (SCART), but many PAL TV's do not support NTSC.
2. NTSC supports 480i/p, Jem, not 420.
3. The country code for Japan is "JPN." "JAP" is the racist code for Japan.
4. Jem complains that FEAR is "fast becoming the most expensive game I've ever bought." That price is going to seem a whole lot steeper when he finds out how hard the game blows.

Ross,

Wow. You've done a man's job, sir. When I read the poorly written, inflammatory post by Jem Alexander on PS3 Fanboy, I rolled my eyes.

Thanks for setting the record straight, reporting on this "problem" in a level-headed, informed manner.

You just may have single-handedly restored my faith in Joystiq.

ps - I still found the title of your post a little typically Joystic flamebait. I would suggest an alternate, clearer title, perhaps:
"Clueless PS3 Fanboy Writer Lucky That Shitty Game Won't Work, Yet Still Unsatisfied"

"Do you think evolution studios will make a sequel to motorstorm, but with totally different vehicles?

I mean instead of offroad cars, how bout boats?

Even the name still works.(boats have motors)"


- Even better, call it "Boatorstorm." I'd buy that freakin' game in a second.

Drew,
Thanks for your concern about all of us here, extending the hand of X360FB friendship. You're sweet.

However, as lonely as I've ever been, I've never been lonely enough to visit a blog about a console I have no interest in owning.

Can you say the same?

I'm not sure if it's the same trailer to which the original post refers, but there is video of this title at IGN:
