My superdupersecret insider source, which arrived in the mail today and goes by the initials OPM (June 2005), tells me that Criterion expects to have a Burnout game out for the PSP this fall. Burnout Legends is a compilation of tracks from previous games. These include Harbour Town, Palm Bay Heights, Big Surf Shore, and Downtown. Pursuit mode returns along with some new ones, including Pursuit Rage. WiFi multiplayer is confirmed, but there's no mention of online play. Some reservations about the speed and the controls were noted.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted is the cover story.

Hmm...

Hmmmm...

Nice! Any other technical info about Burnout on PSP? What's on the magazine's demo disc?

 

[BlackSalad]

yay, more racing games >_<

 

[jenov4]

Sweet, I loved Burnout 3 (Who doesn't eh?) Can't wait till they start bundling PSP demo discs.

 

[daegan]

Pissed that I got this today and still no new EGM.><

 

[GDJustin]

I don't like this trend of PSP games being remixes of their console versions. I'm happy with my PSP as I believe it has enough original titles (I own MGA and Lumines right now), but its a disappointing trend nonetheless

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Fuck, more money gone

Nice! Any other technical info about Burnout on PSP? What's on the magazine's demo disc?

The screenshots make it look great: plenty of details, deep draw distance, and lots of sparks. Also, the old tracks will be remade using the "realistic" style as found in Burnout Revenge.

On the demo disc, the playables (though I haven't popped it in to make sure) are Madagascar, Stolen, Juiced, Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, Fight Night Round 2, Lego Star Wars, and Star Wars Battlefront. Non-interactive items are MX vs ATV Unleashed, Mobile Suit Gundam vs Zeta Gundam, Destroy All Humans, 25 to Life, Dynasty Warriors 5, and Hot Shots Golf PSP.

Burnout Legends... wowie...wow...WOW....

 

[ToyMachine228]

Now that's a PSP game that I would buy! Burnout is the sort of franchise that I'd like to see on a handheld, and I'd fit on the PSP perfectly.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

YES!

Burnout is a great franchise for a handheld in my opinion, as long as Criterion gets the load times under control. That so far has been the most annoying thing with the system. ATV had the load times of doom on it.

 

[sprsk]

a game? for psp?

I thought from the title this was going to be about Untold Legends being repetitive.

Good news, though I never tried the burnout series

Hahaha, I can see where you'd get that notion.

 

[acklame]

I like this news.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

Bought!

I'll happily endorse a petition for fewer remixes on the PSP...just as soon as Burnout Legends is on store shelves

No "We need this on DS, come on, there are no racing games on DS and itll sell well cuz of no competition" posts?

This game is mine ten times over. After Burnout 3, I am and will forever be a Burnout fanboy.

EA needs to start putting in online play in their PSP games. Burnout demands it!

 

[Agent X]

This is excellent news! I've been anticipating this ever since the early rumors; it's great to know that this game truly is on its way to PSP!

 

[Red Dolphin]

Shit this might make me buy a PSP! Will be my first Sony console ever! Well handheld ;p

I've been a fan right from the start. I hope the older tracks maintain the same amount of traffic. I loved the higher density of traffic in the older games. Much more intense. They need a remake of River City and Rush Hour from Burnout 1!

 

[n-off]

what a surprise :rollseyes:

 

[deandotscott]

I don't think I'm breaking any embargoes by telling you the producer of this game is FIT.

 

[pdk27]

Whoah just got my issue but I haven't flipped through it yet. Was watching the HSG PSP video on the disc. Looks pretty cool though.

is a compilation of tracks from previous games.

How original.

That could be really cool. It'd be better if you could send them a demo to the MS, though that might deter them from buying the game (what do I need the game for, the demo is good enough!).

Definitely getting this.

SALES +1

Burnout is the only racer I need.

*swoon*

Um that sort of sucks if you don't know anyone with a PSP! It should be like Smash Bros where you can unlock things in either single player or multiplayer.
