Hmm, there was something not quite right about the game when I played the demo a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't like the demo...maybe I'll try the new challenges, if they actually include multiplayer racing this time... I mean technically you could race in the other but everyone had to find each other, I want us set up on a starting line.

I want to buy it.
but.
blah.
Good news atleast.

showtimeshowtimeshowtime gimme new fangled crashmode

Am I the only one who doesn't like, accelerating with the shoulder button? I prefer the old days of pushing buttans, not levers.

Am I the only one who doesn't like, free roaming racers? I prefer the old days of knowing where I'm going.

Apologies Magesx...I just figured I'd keep your comment format for the sake of consistency.

Anyone who actually likes this game is a fucking moron.

Any idea on how many people the full game will support at once?

i just hope this one is not become in another "need for speed underground 2"....

Awesome demo, played it online for 2 hours last night.

Take down! Revenge Scored.

If only it were fun. I played it online but with the small area you get and the challenges available its hardly great. My complaints are the same as everyone elses, it just doesn't feel like burnout anymore, it feels like NFS with a sense of speed.

i have no idea what everyone is freaking bitching about.

i'm a huge burnout fan, besides the first one, because that one was truly terrible, and to me burnout has always been about the fantastic crashes. This game has them in spades, and with the size of the demo's city-portion-whatever-ness... i can spend an hour and a half doing a single run of speeding down the street and hitting a ramp trying to get a double barrel roll, or getting the biggest flatspin.

people that say this isn't burnout obviously weren't in the know about what burnout is.

it was always about the crashes, and later iterations of the game just added aftertouch and the explosion shit just to flesh the crashes out more.

this game's iteration of the crash is to include friends online so you can go head on collision with them while yuo're both doing an insane trick.

it has everything that a burnout game should have. crashes.

I HATE free roaming racing games... I want something where I can hope on, play a couple races, and then shut down after ten minutes. With this game, it might take you that long just to GET there. I remember trying the same course in Takedown for something like four hours, trying to shave that last second off to get a high score. Repeating one course that many times now would probably take three times as long, and be twice as frustrating. It sucks though, since it could easily have been fixed to appease both camps... When you finish (or fail) a course, pop up a retry option. For the main menu, add a quick start option that takes you directly to the race of your choice. I was really disappointed when I didn't see either of these features in the demo, and it pretty much killed ALL desire to buy the game.

I also really hated that it's like every other bland generic racing title out there now where traffic is something to be avoided. I loved crashing into cars to get that extra little boast to win the race. It sucked that the first time I tried that I was rewarded with a freaking slow-mo close up of my crash that I could no longer even skip past.

Eight players? Epic!
