Here is a fresh look at Burnout Crash!, direct from the legion-esque FTP servers that are gamescom. I feel sorry for the virtual citizens of the game's town. Poor people never stood a chance.
As much as I don't like being that guy, I'm going to say it: I still wish this standalone game was presented in the traditional Burnout style, rather than from an overhead perspective. The transition loses some of the excitement gained from being up close to the mayhem.
Granted, this game will have Autolog functionality, so I'll likely buy it and love it anyway. Drat.
Meh, its not like the industry hasn't been well up the ass of slapping the name of a recognized franchise on something that isn't in line with that franchise.
These days it seems like publishers are really milking the names with these pint sized games. Remember that Red Faction downloadable title? This game may end up being good, but the lack of respect publishers show their franchises when they use them to release cash grab shovelware could be an issue down the line.
Autolog is the system they had in Hot Pursuit where it tracks what your friends and other players are doing and how you stack up. That's a simplification of it, but yeah. It's great.
Sounds cool. Either way I'll probably get this game as, even though I still pine for the old Crash mode of yore, I kind of like this new art style and I'm a sucker for vehicular carnage.
Add me to the list of people wishing this was not top down.
Burnout 2 had the best crash mode of all... right down to the damage glitches. Simple, pure and intimate. When they started throwing in multipliers, crash breakers, and other bullsht, they lost me.
Give me Burnout 2 crash mode with Burnout Paradise's physics and graphics and we'll be BFF again Criterion.
