Every time I get into a cop chase I start hating the game.
They're not fun. They're a big pain in the ass that prevents me from doing what I want to do, which is drive like a maniac around the city and do races.

After messing around with the game for a little bit I can say that this feels like a Criterion game alright. And that's good.

Coming up in a Criterion update: turn off cops. I hope...
By the way, is there a mountain area like in paradise?

You might not see it there. When I checked online, it's not even listed on the website for Target getting it in-store. Zone of the Enders was the same way. Other games coming out today appeared to be in-store.
I'm thinking ACIII Liberation Vita, Sports Champions 2 (if there), and Professor Layton (3DS).
Oh god, I hate the traffic and the fucking crash cam every time.
And I can take on several police cars but a single traffic car, nooooooo.
Vita version with less traffic redeemed?

Agreed on that annoying traffic cam.
+1 to the game in general for not having needy voice overs every five minutes "reminding" me about stuff as in Horizon.
But -1 to the game for all that shit that keeps appearing as info attached to my car.

Well considering i played BP for 50 hours and am 60% done with MW 6 hours in.
They're fine but i do hate that you have to lose them after each race you win and they appear in

My target had both need for speed vita and zone of the enders. Picked them both up this morning along with assassins Creed liberation.

I loved that in MW '05, though. I felt it added an extra bit of flair to the end of the event. It gave the cop chases a bit of weight, in that even though you have your "race events", cops are another force of their own. They don't play by your rules of "event over? Everyone go home now, gais", they just want to shut your shit down.

but that game also had punishment attached for being caught. This apparently does nothing but load you back in the world.

Criterion have said the world map is larger than Paradise.
Pretty unclear still, but unfortunately both versions have problems. Based on Criterion's previous work, it's likely they're very near identical, problems and all.
It didn't take you 50 hours to finish Paradise's single player mode.
At least as many online challenges as Paradise, and I believe I heard it was more.

I saw the GT review and the car specific challenges and limited upgrade really, really put a cold on me.
Will wait

Does the Vita version at least have cloud saving?
I'm actually kind of glad to hear that the game is a bit more compact. Wide open sandbox games with endless events are simply mammoth tasks that I can never hope to finish. After a while, unless substantial variety is present, the game starts to become monotonous.

This is stupid, i've decided not to buy the game at this time. I will wait for a price drop.

can anyone please tell me how unlocking stuff online and single player work? If you unlock a car and or mod during single player does it carry over to MP or is unlocking stuff during MP separate?

And a patch.
Seriously, no difference between the two ports at all?

The Joystiq review takes time at the end to talk about the Vita version
I'd post it here but I don't know how to post the spoiler tags that hide the text.

No one has done a true technical analysis yet, so there is no definite answer right now.
But, if the previous two games made by this development team are any indication, as well as the impressions we've already seen from people in this thread, as well as high def videos on youtube, the two versions are going to be extremely similar. So similar you probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

There probably is, but people on this board haven't had a chance to see what they are yet. Those of us who have gotten our hands on it in the few hours it's been out have likely only seen it on one console so far. The best you can hope for is to check reviews for comparisons.
Just wait for this game to be $30 on Black Friday. By then we should know which version is better and you can save money (I'm guessing at that price, but NFS games are always cheap on BF)

Really good point. I never completed most of the search quests in Burnout: Paradise. I think this game's content will do me just fine.

Why they kept the crash cam but not the takedown cam, I don't know

Does the Vita edition of this lack real crashes? I thought I'd seen some footage where cars just bounced about in the Vita build and didn't even dent or deform.
ok, am i missing something here or what? is there no way to choose the color of your paintjob. does it just cycle through every time you drive through a gas station. if so, wtf? every time i swing through a station for some nitrous the color of my car changes. i'm really digging the presentation of this game but the actual implementation of upgrades and apparent lack of color custimization is a real bummer.
or maybe i'm just stupid and there is a garage you get later or something or some way of locking one color in so it doesn't change everytime i hit a gas station.

Actually, I believe it's quite the opposite. Speed Points are earned offline and online on all platforms, and they unlock stuff in both single player and multiplayer at the same time. The difference is that you cannot take your SP cars online in MP, as the progression is distinct.

Racing games should be something you keep coming back to, not something you finish once and never play again.
