Good to see some third parties actually giving a shit about the system. Since there's practically no chance I'm buying this on PC thanks to Origin I'd buy it alongside a Vita if it's competent enough.

Sony Cambridge isn't b-team :| :|

Cambridge is awesome they even helped with kz2

SCEE's Cambridge Studio is, sure as hell, NOT a B-Studio! >:-(

And Heavenly Sword (Engine/Graphics), SCEJ studios, etc.
They are god tier tech gurus!

*snicker*

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Perfect, now remove the free roaming shit and I'll buy it

but...

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Criterion are my favourite racing developer.

 

[Iacobellis]

This is what makes it a console game on a portable system. Going back to the Underground days is the absolute BEST.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Wow this sounds great. Will consider the Vita version now.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

You shut your mouth! Did you not play Burnout Paradise?!

 

[CamHostage]

Done and done, pre-ordered.

The article doesn't talk hands-on impressions or framerate, just that it's the "same game", but I'm brimming with confidence now that Criterion will deliver on Vita.

 

[Curufinwe]

Wonder if Jeff Gerstmann's excited about this.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Wasn't Hot Pursuit's engine frosbite 2?

NFS The Run was Frostbite 2.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Have they actually shown anything of the Vita version yet?

To the press only

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Very nice. This holiday for the Vita is going to very interesting to watch in the west. And a blast to own.

 

[KalBalboa]

This is pretty amazing news. So many big Vita games in a row- any idea if this will be day-and-date with PS3?

Considering Cross Buy si being "considered," that might be the case.

 

[VanWinkle]

I was so happy to hear this. I will buy it day 1 on Vita. Interested in hearing about a possible Cross Buy. But if there is just cross saves, I will be tempted to get both.

 

[KalBalboa]

I'd drop $80 for both PS3 & Vita versions. Autolog is cross-platform too, which is cool.

 

[Iacobellis]

Need for Speed should just be handed over to Criterion, releasing a new version every 2-3 years. It kept the Burnout formula fresh every time.

it would be amazing if some of the top times are in the Vita version

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Holy potatoes. So glad I got a vita. So many games I want that are coming. My wallet will hate me but damn.

 

[nhlducks35]

Where's the footage EA?

 

[i-Lo]

Makes me wonder if we'll have the cross platform deal with this one.

 

[Yopis]

Good to hear will buy day one.

 

[gabbre]

You shut your mouth! Did you not play Burnout Paradise?!

Yes and I didn't like it

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Cross-saves are in. They are considering cross-buy.

 

[Sid]

Yeah,i think this should be added to the op cross save was confirmed by ea at it's gamescom presser,i'm pretty sure of that hopefully someone else can confirm

 

[Hex]

October will be brutal.
Assassins Creed, Assassins Creed Liberation, Persona 4 Golden, Pokemon Black or White 2, RE 6, Silent Hill: Book of memories, Ragnarok Odyssey, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Lego LOTR, Zone of the Enders...ouch

 

[test_account]

If it is the exact same game (expected in my opinion) it makes sense why they do the cross buy thing (at least it looks like its happening).

 

[JehutyRunner]

Please be CrossBuy, please be CrossBuy.

 

[Lonely1]

Sounds good! Too bad I don't like racing games and open world games... might still buy.

 

[darkwing]

it's from Criteriion

 

[Always-honest]

That is incredible news for Vita owners.

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought it got boring very quickly, but I loved Burnout 3 and NFS Hot Pursuit.

 

[scitek]

Need for Speed should just be handed over to Criterion, releasing a new version every 2-3 years. It kept the Burnout formula fresh every time.

They need two teams, one working on a bi-annual Burnout, one on a bi-annual NFS.

Integrate both games into one, then? Well, wait, no. Look at what happened to Ridge Racer.

 

[The Bookerman]

Criterion, you are awesome.

That was easy

 

[StuBurns]

Criterion really are a stunning studio, completely uncompromising in quality. I expected no less.

 

[waypoetic]

What's wrong with you? Nothing wrong with a little free roaming. What, you hate freedom? YOU HATE DEMOCRACY 'N SHIT?!

 

[Bricky]

So this basically means Burnout Paradise on my Vita?

Great, now I'll have to buy this game twice.

 

[Takamura-San]

Perfect, now remove the free roaming shit and I'll buy it

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Things are looking good for us crazies who bought the vita. Make this a cross buy and ill do my best to not cry in ecstatic joy.

 

[Hyuga]

Maybe not, if the VITA version is for free (Cross Play) ;P

 

[C-Jo]

There is save sync,confirmed by ea at the presser

Oh, nice.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Not a chance the PSVita version would be free.

 

[waypoetic]

Cross-buy is "buy 1 version and get the other version for free", right? The Vita version is ~$64 where i live. The PS3 version is of course more expensive. I don't... No, it's EA, c'mon!

 

[Takuan]

Love what I'm reading, but I'd like to see it in motion.

 

[CamHostage]

Wasn't it Criterion who gave us the excellent (albeit not as full featured) burnout games on PSP?

Pretty sure no, Criterion consulted and provided materials (and the two PSP games were made on Renderware) but actual development came to the much-maligned EA UK in Chertsey I believe.

EA UK was shit on harshly for "ruining" the PS3 port of Orange Box (not a great port, sure, but not horrible and it did receive patches, EA should have delayed it more or not done it as Valve didn't have its heart in supporting this version at the time and let it become the 'stepchild' project,) but their Burnout work was stellar. EA Games UK also did some of the Harry Potter games (Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix,) the beautiful-but-stupid Catwoman game, and probably some other stuff.

According to LinkedIn though, some Criterion guys jumped on/jumped off EA UK as part of the "EA Fusion" development initiative (which I thought was just an EA Canada effort but apparently other studios did the same split to try and get experienced devs onto portable games... *sigh* it's been a long road for portable gamers trying to get publishers to put AAA-effort into handheld games.)

well KZ:M is from GG's B-team/B-studio

Grrrrr....

 

[Canis lupus]

Make this cross buy! This sounds like a good port! Not being left in care of the likes of Nihilistic. (cod)

 

[BrainZEROX]

I think cross buy means you buy the PS3 version and then you get the Vita game free. Not the other way round (buy Vita game then get PS3 game free).

 

[Alchemy]

I think cross buy means you buy the PS3 version and then you get the Vita game free. Not the other way round (buy Vita game then get PS3 game free).

Or there isn't a distinction, you just buy the "PS3+Vita" version. I don't see anyway for them to package a PS3 game with the Vita game without hiking the price to match the console version.
