Well to be fair, you could also tell what version it is by the amount of sparks. You're not trying hard enough!

I know it's an Xbox site posting pictures, but it wouldn't be the first or the last time same set of screens is being distributed to all the news outlets. I'm saying this because according to an interview with Ward, which probably took place a month or so ago, they only had the PS2 version running at that time.
That again brings me to my earlier point, why is it even important which platform are these pics from, when it's not even 100% representative of it (no matter which one it is), and both version will most likely end up looking nigh-identical anyways.

I don't know if this means anything, but about two weeks ago, someone came into work looking for a bunch of PSP accessories. He said he was visiting the U.S. and was a developer. His company was currently working on Burnout for PSP, and they were being told by EA to make the game look exactly like it would on PSP, which he said they couldn't do so it was causing all kinds of stress. This guy could have been making everything up (I wasn't there), or this really was one of the development team. Where is Criterion located?

Hang out with Steve.
While I am definitely looking forward to this game, I'd prefer to see a PSP version first.
I think a major amount of bitching is from the fact that the first two were on the Cube and the EA-published version wasn't. That's surprising considering EA would put nearly anything on it.Inumaru said:
Of course, we'd need to see F-Zero cars in the next Burnount on the Cube. Haha, get it? That way it'd sell!

sequel to 2004's Co-GOTY? IM THERE BITCHES! Its a shame there won't be a Xenon version, sure it would have been a port (more or less) but would have cemented my purchase, now i guess i'll put that off til next year.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
I'm up for any Burnout game. As long as they don't change the main formula (High speeds, Amazing crashes), it's all good. Taking down traffic sounds intriguing.....I can't wait for E3

hope it's more like 2 and less like easy mode (3)
the boost system in 3 made the game skillless, boring and easy...

Considering how easy Burnout 2 was to Burnout 1 I really don't want the series to be continually dumbed down to the casuals. They don't seem to be buying the series anyway. They'd rather sleep-stimulator GT4 ;p

Burnout 2's boost system owned. I'd love to see it return.The Faceless Master said:

EA's just gonna keep rehashing. There will be a new BO every year.

Uh...I think an arcade racer appeals more to a casual gamer than a simulator there buddy.Red Dolphin said:

I see Burnout turning into generic EA shit. Hell, I blame EA for fucking up the boost system and the shitty music. If BO4 combined the boost system and traffic of the 2nd with the graphics and modes of the 3rd, and a better online mode, it'd be the shit.

There was absolutely no need for this game. I am not paying $50 for this, looks like Burnout 3. They should have waited till next gen for a proper sequel.

Who cares about burnout 2? The point is, I played Burnout 3 last year and I don't want more of the same. Bring some new ideas at table and save it for next gen.
This looks like a fucking add-on. I hope it's $19.99 at release.
Fucking EA, I knew this would happen, give me Black and some PSP games please.

So you already know everything there's to know about the game? Have you at least read the OPM preview?

Oh now I can "blow" the traffic away. Big fucking deal, this still looks like an add on.

They should just release this for whatever console I don't own, that would be great.
The EA cash cow is hungry for more franchise milking.

Naw, I'm just trying to make sure you re-buy a PS2. :lolDr_Cogent said:
BTW, have we heard if the *SPARKS* on the PS2 version will be "BRIGHTER" ?!?!?!? I MUST KNOW!!!! :lol

Yeah the changes sound pretty drastic and honestly 4 will seem like 2 as 3 seemed to 2.DarienA said:
VictimOfGrief said:
more destruction derby/car combat and less burnout?
heh...either way I'm still getting this...Criterion may develope for the PS2 first and then port around but I doubt that the PS2 version will be the best...
the ability to 'take out' traffic is a welcome edition...a consistant damage/collision model for all vehicles would balance out the series nicely IMO

Burnout 3 was already a pretty big departure from the previous titles (racing 1/4 of a lap in the suicidal style that the previous titles promoted gave a far weaker reward than the much easier act of simply taking out another car)
I fully expect Revenge to be an evolution of 3...much the same way that 2 was an evolution of 1

Mostly.... from what I'm hearing the content of the game is going to look and feel the same however the physicss have been bumped up again to take advantage of an already amazing physics system that Crit developed.Gattsu25 said:
What I have heard is that the game will have certain goals or "crashes" that trigger in game sequences that can affect future races on that track. I can't 100% confirm that, but it's sounds pretty solid at this point.

I love the Burnout series but I would have much prefered a next gen sequel. If the gameplay is really improved with more traffic and better A.I. then it might be all good
Did many ppl here play Flatout? Was it actually any good? Besides the fact that your driver would fly through the car windscreen? ;p I'm up for something arcadey that similar to Burnout.

Thanks for the link. Some great shots at that site. I have to admit I light the "grittier" more realistic look to the game. One thing I hope they take out is that obnoxious blur effect in Burnout 3 as soon as your car starts moving!! In Burnout 1 and 2 it was only used while boosting but in Burnout 3 it was completely overused. Made the graphics look like next gen N64 graphics! ;p
What, you don't think we're going to get one of those as well?Red Dolphin said:
Criterion hasn't done me wrong yet with this series. I'm good for a little more Burnout lovin' this gen, a new start to the series next gen and some portable Burnout whenever they can get around to it.
If there's an iteration that they should spend more time on than the others, I'd think you'd all want it to be the next gen version. They're clearly on top of their form by now with current gen hardware so LET THEM pound out a single year rev if they want to - guaranteed to be better than a lot of game software we wait longer for.

I just don't want this series turning out like the Tony Hawk games. The first 3 games were fantastic but Neversoft continued to churn out sequels much to quickly and the series quickly turned stale. I won't even touch the series anymore.
