If Burnout 3 were released in arcades...
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
It's not structured quite like an arcade title, such as OutRun 2, where the play concept is immediately accessible and everything the game has is thrown at the player in succession along a constantly rising difficulty curve. An arcade game needs to provide an obvious goal, a constant delivery of risk and reward, and clear feedback as to how and why the player failed so that they'll be inclined to play just that one more time to try to get further.
Well, EA seems to think it's feasible to put Madden 05 in arcades, so I'm sure they could have figured something out if they wanted to.

Playing against visible competition, without lag or network connection/lack-thereof issues and proprietary fees > playing at home, even online.

Seeing how EA games are starting to appear in arcades, I wouldn't be surprised to see an arcade game based on Burnout at some point in the near future. I don't think it would exactly mimic the home games' various gameplay modes, but rather have a few tweaks so that it would work well in an arcade environment. Crash mode probably wouldn't be very good as an arcade game, but Road Rage mode or the standard races might work.
Actually, EA has started to dip their toes into the arcade industry a bit. I recently saw both Need for Speed and Tiger Woods in cabinet form. NFS was setup like the Crusin' series, and Tiger Woods was Golden Tee with EA branding all over it.
Burnout would be a perfect arcade racer, but EA already has one in Need-For-Speed. You never know, though.
edit: Well, I guess they've got a Madden arcade game too, all of these courtesy Global VR...

It would need a better soundtrack.
I always thought that NSFU deserved an arcade version.

Online gaming is great, but the draw of arcades is the social aspect. Going to the arcade translates into a night out with friends, drinking some beers, and pissing some time away. Society is moving too much into an antisocial direction...why actually leave your house if you don't have to..everything available in the convienience of home..etc.etc..
That and playing racing games in linked deluxe cabinets in Japanese arcades beats hell out of playing at home, and I have a good 5.1 system with all the goodies.

Actually I think it'd be a lot of fun. The most popular games at Dave & Buster's are the linked racing games -- imagine the additional fun of takedowns in an arcade setting. I'd definitely be into that.
