Support NeoGAF

I had a dream where this was cancelled and they put crash mode into Burnout Paradise and then unveiled Burnout Paradise 2.

I wish I didn't wake up.

If you didn't wake up you would be dead.

This is a game designed for the iPad, but also getting released on consoles.

I remember reading a couple year back, that Criterion confirmed they were making Burnout 6 (shortly after paradise was released). Then EA had them work on Hot Pursuit. I wonder if this game is just to hold us down for the next full Burnout installment?
This is the best I can find to support it.

Commence the hate. He opted not to play the Kinect mode.

I wonder if that is why he didn't hate it.

lol i just remembered how shit this looks

So this is the first time I actually read the thread.

Hilarious. By the way some people talk you'd think they were taking years to develop this and making this the standard gameplay for Burnout from here out.

Last video was giving me a Joe Danger vibe--i'm starting to warm up to this game. I'm guessing all the hate stems from Criterion totally missing the mark as to what their fan-base expects in a title from them.

Probably not the best way to follow up from Burnout Paradise. We were hoping for.. you know, a fucking Burnout game.

I'm thinking that they're making another NFS (due next year) based on some of EA's recent comments.

This is what people remember is Crash mode. It's going to take a lot of convincing that this is proper Burnout game.

holy mother of god, is that burnout 3 on the first screenshot? i remember it looking so much better than it does on this picture. fascinating what nostalgia can do to people.

For me it's the opposite, I'm actually thinking how well it still looks considering the age of the game.

Okay, I'm a huge fan of Ned For Speed: Hot Pursuit...but WHAT?! EA should let Criterion make what they choose! I really want another fluu Burnout title. We get like 2 or 3 new need for speeds a year...Burnout Paradise came out in like 2008. It even got expanded with a ton of amazing DLC.

I could be reading it wrong, but that's what I get from this

This gives Criterion the time to craft November 2012's entry in the racing series.

"The worst possible idea would be to make Criterion build a game every year," EA Games boss Frank Gibeau told Eurogamer at E3 last week. "That would limit their creativity and hurt quality."

Giving Need for Speed developers two years to create games ensures they have the time to make them shine, Gibeau said.

But EA's sharing of technology – The Run is built using DICE's Frostbite 2.0 engine and incorporates Mirror's Edge-style on-foot moments – makes it easier to build new ideas.

"We've designed an alternating strategy in driving for us to continue to build on the high quality we've established with Hot Pursuit and try new things," Gibeau explained.

Hot Pursuit was Criterion's best selling game ever (by quite a margin) and the highest rated NFS since Hot Pursuit 2, so i'm not surprised that EA would want them to make another game in the series.

This has to be some kind of joke....

Wtf was that? i don't even....How do you go from a game like burnout paradise to that? Wtfucking fuck?

 

[CriterionDog]

Man, I'm fine with another Need For Speed developed by Criterion, I'll definitely buy it, but it misses that awesome outrageous feel that the Burnout series has...
