Vindication...sweet.
Not that anything is wrong with a 5th entry in the Burnout series, but why isn't Criterion making a sequel to Black for next-gen systems?
The original Black had slick graphics, yet the entire game was wasted on rudimentary and flawed (hit detection, anyone?) gameplay. Black could have been made an established franchise, and had Criterion fixed the flaws, reworked the gameplay, and made a badass mulitplayer mode from the ground up n a sequel, then Black 2 could have been a total kickass experience.
I guess with the glut of FPSs on the horizon (like Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, Resistance: Fall of Man, etc.), the need to quelch the FPS trigger-finger will be wholefully satisfied. Criterion really should consider expanding the Black name down the road for X360 and PS3. I'd really like to see what Criterion can do with a modified Black engine running on X360 and PS3 hardware.....especially taking advantage of its insane particle-effect system.
Oh yeah, I'd like a deep story for Black 2 as well.
