Beautiful or not, this game still has a looooooong way to go until it can beat what Criterion has done with Burnout Paradise. But I will keep an eye out for it.
TV aired driving-arena sport that basically replaces spiney shells with bridge collapsing abilities. So why do the drivers have these remote switchs that activate these scenery mishaps? Kind of weird to have this placed on TV, no?
Besides the intriguing premise, it does look fun, and if that's not pre-rednered graphics, then holy hell...

Just a heads up, NONE of that is in-game. That's not to say it's not a great trailer... but we'll just wait and see how it looks in reality.
All I'm seeing is a target video for a game that is taking the destruction triggers from NFS and trying to put them into a Burnout-like environment...*yawn*
I'll wait for a new Burnout or GT5, thank you.

Burnout?
After driving the Ecto 1 and the Delorean, it's hard to imagine something better. Still waiting on the next island...

That alllll looks like CG and that looks like a terrible gimmick setting off traps, like Stuntman or something.
But will they commit to the same level as Criterion with the content? I doesn't look very Burnout-y but looks more like a new form of Racing Combat.
I doubt they can make this run at 60 fps. Burnout runs like smooth cream.
BTW, I love the ps2 days, devs tried to get things to run at full frame. Here, we have next gen consoles, and only a few titles are up to the task.

Oh god, this brings slingshot A.I. to a new high.
Still, it's got to beat out Fuel and it's Flaming Tornadoes, before it can take out the Janson 88 Special and Paradise.

As soon as people put a 'insert game name' killer tag on any new game, it automactically puts unreachable expectations on the devs.
The trailer, IMHO, is all prerendered. Not only that, the devs will have comabt the most popular, best and quite frankly, most fun racer on the market.
Good luck to them beating a ENTIRE franchise with one game, a franchise that has churned out consistenly brillant games, re-defined a sub genre, is loved by millions, sold millons of copies, and has THE best DLC a game has had so far, ever.
So in short, I do seriously doubt this will ever be a 'Burnout-killer'.

I Black Rock can't maintain the level of commitment, both to game and community as Criterion has with Burnout Paradise, then Split/Second is a flash in the pan, a bright spark to flare up, only disappear in...well, a split-second.

GRID looks amazing, and it runs at 60fps. I don't how this game can't look like that and run at 60fps. Technology is fast.

I don't think this can work the way they are hoping. I think I'll end up irritated rather than entertained.
Burnout kicks ass, nothing will every beat it because it has its own unique flavour. Now black rock did a great job with Pure, so I'm sure they will find a way to differentiate themselves from Criterions smash hit, this game should be good in its own right, will it be a burnout killer? Probable not.
I've got to admit it looks good. But nowadays every video does. To be honest that player-triggered environmental stuff doesn't look fun to me. It takes away the essence of racing for me. Burnout is an arcade racer but it really is about racing. Not blowing up stuff by pushing a button in a Split Second.
And Mushman is absolutely right.

I won't judge this until I see real gameplay. This trailer is nicely done but doesn't tell jack sh*t about how this is supposed to work as an interactive game.
