what about NPD?

wartime1020 · 09:43 AM

Within the options menu is only this...

"Xbox Live Vision" On/Off/Friends only

"Music Volume"

"SFX Volume"

"Tips" On/Off

the right stick controls the camera

The D-Pad brings up the menu system (D-pad right)

cjelly · (12-13-2007, 09:41 AM)

What is the Vision camera used for?

Blimblim · (12-13-2007, 09:42 AM)

Expect the Pandora's box (as in video comparison) to be opened later tonight ;)

Ironballs · (12-13-2007, 09:43 AM)

Oh how I love the low-power mode for active downloads.

Rowsdower · (12-13-2007, 09:43 AM)

The mug-shot. The camera takes a picture of your opponent right at the second when you take him down and sends it to you.

edit: Brilliant feature imo. I fully expect sad faces painted on cardboards and/or genitals.

WTF is that shit! I'm sad right now.

Vision cam is used to take pics of the people u take down durring online play. Same for the ps3 and it's eye toy.

If you are "taken down" it'll take a picture of you crying/flipping off the dude who did it.

Ahem...beaten.

burgerdog · 09:53 AM

AniHawk · (12-13-2007, 09:48 AM)

You can crash cars to get points like in the other Burnout games right?

FFFUUUUCCCCKKKKK

Hype-10 Maybe I can confirm D pad steering on there official message board. Sorry I just hate using the analog stick.

What the ??? Using D-Pad, in a racing game ???

VaLiancY · (12-13-2007, 09:51 AM)

What a day for my PC not to stream to my 360. I want to play my new Lupe Fiasco while driving like a madman.

burgerdog · (12-13-2007, 09:57 AM)

Played it for about 5mins(weak, I know). Not terribly impressed with the graphics, I'm playing on x360, however, the framerate is absolutely fantastic. One thing that I didn't like right off the bat is the crashes. It sort of shows a replay when you crash, probably just need to get used to it. Going to play more in a bit when I'm done with some things.

A game like burnout for some reason just works with the D-Pad. maybe its because you're going too fast and you tend to overcompensate when you use the analog stick. at least thats how i am.

The_Dude · (12-13-2007, 09:59 AM)

Not working at all for me. At this rate, I won't be playing it til next week! Oh, wait...

The problem would be to record stuff as close as possible to one another when we are a thousand km apart ;)

Timan · (12-13-2007, 10:01 AM)

Compusa is gonna want its advertising money back, first ad you see in the game... too funny since they'll all be closed by the time this is out.

TTP · (12-13-2007, 10:04 AM)

Well, I have an idea.

We just start the demos and go forward and crash. That's it

Hopefully traffic is the same so we end up crashing in the very same way O_O

Especially the 360 d-pad

Pretty much the opposite. It takes a shot from the loser, not the winner.

cjelly · (12-13-2007, 10:09 AM)

You can play the demo on Live? I didn't know that...

Gowans007 · (12-13-2007, 10:09 AM)

woot! been looking forward to this, it will compelte my racing trinitary of Forza, PGR, Burnout.
just on way to work and have set it off.

Impressions? Details?

Rowsdower · (12-13-2007, 10:12 AM)

BTW, the second i read the thread title i raced home from work, put the d/l on and raced back. I hope the boss didn't notice, wish me luck.

lockload · (12-13-2007, 10:12 AM)

Being able to invlite friends that are in other 360 games and on the dashboard is enough for me to pickup the 360 version
