Burnout Paradise Demo erscheint bereits im Dezember 2007

Ab 24. Januar 2008 drehen im Paradies die Reifen durch

Köln, 26. Oktober 2007 – EA veröffentlicht am 24. Januar 2008 Burnout Paradise in Deutschland. Bereits ab Dezember 2007 wird eine Demo im PlayStation Network und im Xbox LIVE Marktplatz zum Download bereitstehen.

Burnout Paradise wurde von Grund auf neu für die PlayStation 3 und die Xbox 360 entwickelt und bietet neben einer offenen Welt ein innovatives Onlines System für mehrere Spieler. In der frei befahrbaren Stadt Paradise City erwarten die Spieler aufregende Stunts, Schweiß treibende Rennen und Spannung an jeder Kreuzung. In Burnout Paradise hat der Spieler alles in der Hand und genießt die totale Freiheit. Man kann die Stadt jederzeit frei erforschen. Um ein PS getriebenes Rennevent zu starten genügt es, an irgendeiner Ampel anzuhalten und die Reifen durchdrehen zu lassen. Eine solche Herausforderung lassen sich die anderen Raser der Stadt nicht entgehen. Sobald die Ampel auf grün springt, heißt es Gas geben, die schnellste Strecke zu finden und die Gegner auf die Plätze zu verweisen. Alle Mittel sind erlaubt!

Alex Ward, Creative Director bei EA Criterion, dazu: „In der Burnout Serie ging es immer darum, mit jedem Teil das Spiel neu zu erfinden. Burnout Paradise erfüllt diesen Anspruch voll und ganz! In diesem Spiel werden alle Grenzen aufgehoben und wir geben dem Spieler die ultimative Freiheit. Uns ist es wichtig mit Paradise die ausgetretenen Pfade zu verlassen und ein Risiko einzugehen. Bisher war jedes Burnout auf seine Weise einzigartig und wir sind überzeugt, dass Burnout Paradise alle bisherigen Teile der Serie in den Schatten stellen wird.“

Im Dezember 2007 wird die Burnout Paradise Demo veröffentlicht. Die Spieler können unter anderem zwischen Motor City und Big Surf Beach den neuen Stunt-Modus ausprobieren und mit dem Hunter Cavalry die schnellsten Strecken der Stadt finden. Zusammen mit Freunden kann man zudem drei Online-Herausforderungen meistern oder einfach durch die Straßen rasen und sich die Autos gegenseitig zu Schrott fahren.

Burnout Paradise wird gegenwärtig von EA Criterion in Guildford (UK) für PlayStation 3 und Xbox 360 entwickelt. Weitere Informationen sind unter www.burnout.ea.com zu finden.

PS3 is leading platform, and that one is usually released slightly latter than the 360 versions. But PS3 is leading SKU so you might want to just wait for that version.

i know the PS3 version is meant to be better.. but i have a group of burnout playing friends on the 360. i can only judge for myself if there's enough of a difference to make me leave behind burnout wednesdays.

that's why i'm hoping we get both demos out before the game ships.

trust me, i'm prepared to import a PS3 pad from japan for the game if there's what i'd consider a significant difference between the two titles.
