Looks cool. I seem to recall there was a ridge racer that was like burnout as well.

Crazyglues2551d ago

Come on' that's not what we wanted, we wanted a real burnout game, this is some cash in on the name PSN digital B.S. for 12.99 wtf...

Thanks EA for ruining these developers by buying criterion because they were competition against N4S and you wanted Renderware. Then, using them to make N4S. Then, dumping them on the wayside to scatter making small things or some leaving the company to make this.

If EA wasn't ruthless and hides behind a friendly facade, we would have an actual Burnout 5 now. Hope this game sells well.

But knowing EA, they would sue for copyright infringement saying this game is too similar to the actual Burnout.

Rude-ro2551d ago

Man, that game was a masterpiece. Rip

Cmv382551d ago

I didn't know all that took place. Thanks for the info.

jznrpg2551d ago

EA has killed alot of very good studios, it is sad

VJGenova2551d ago

Burnout 6, you mean?

Burnout
Burnout 2
Burnout Takedown
Burnout Revenge
Burnout Paradise

brianunfried2551d ago

Burnout 7, you forgot Burnout Dominator

ApocalypseShadow2551d ago

I think of paradise and dominator as spin offs of burnout and they were. Like underground was to the regular N4S.

Whatever the number, it would have been great if criterion wasn't bought by EA. EA wanted to kill their competition and they did. They got control of Renderware and developers ran away from that middle ware solution to unreal engine.

But I just want any new and good burnout. So I'll check out and see if danger zone is any good.

VJGenova2551d ago

Never heard of Dominator ... living under a rock here.

Ristul2551d ago

EA: If we can't beat them, buy them and dismantle them!

Princess_Pilfer2551d ago

At least we got Hot Pursuit out of the deal. Small consolation considering the price, I know, but it is a really good game.

quent2550d ago

EA in a nutshell, buy the competing the developer in which ever franchise is eating into they're share of the market and kill them of slowly

i loved burnout 2. not interested in this

jznrpg2551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

It hasnt even come out yet , wow

KwietStorm_BLM2551d ago

So you love oranges but you're not interested in orange juice. Makes sense.

Highlife2551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

I actually love oj but hate oranges go figure. But yeah no reason to think this game won't be good

Princess_Pilfer2551d ago

My favorite part of Burnout is the racing. As much as I want to see the studio succeed, I'm not paying 15 bucks for burnout 3s crash mode.

meka26112551d ago

Why no xbox love on this one? They made it for pc; xbox is easy to port from pc.

Fishy Fingers2551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

From an Eurogamer interview:

"Again, we're a really small studio. There's six of us. Two platforms is the most we can handle right now" http://www.eurogamer.net/am...

Can't blame them for picking those two but I expect if they see some success they'll expand the platforms. Interview implies they're testing the waters with hopes to add more later (based on demand).

stuna12551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

Many can't dispute that this will be the mindset for smaller developers going forward! They'll likely go with the bigger established fanbases, because percentage wise those fanbases stand to make them more profit.

MasterCornholio2551d ago

I don't believe it's as easy as copying and pasting the steam version over to a Windows store version.

kevnb2551d ago

xbox one isnt as attractive for most developers vs pc.

XiNatsuDragnel2551d ago

Buy a Ps4 bro, Or buy all consoles for every experience.

XanderZane2551d ago

I just buy they all. I don't miss out on anything. I get to play every exclusive.

IamTylerDurden12551d ago

Xander

Really? Bc i could pull up old comments of u saying that no PS4 exclusives appeal to u (if i was willing to waste my time scouring through comments, which I'm not).

XanderZane2550d ago

@IamTylerDurden1
Let me know when you find that comment. I'll wait.
I've been praising Horizon, Uncharted 4 and Nioh from the start and own all 3 games. Go and find those comments. Waiting patiently for Days Gone. You can find my hate for No Man's Sky however. Go and do your search. I'm sure I can find more hate from you for XBox throughout every XBox article. It wouldn't take long to pull up.

meka26112548d ago

Already have a ps4, need to pick up a wii u again for zelda. I just prefer my xbox over ps4, like the controller better.

Becouse nobody cares with XBO.

AngelicIceDiamond2551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

Correction people on N4G don't care about Xbox, that is fact.

IamTylerDurden12551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

Angelic

If no one on N4G cared about xbox then why are Phil Spencer and Scorpio articles plastered atop this site on the daily? Especially Scorpio, there are numerous Scorpio articles every day that read like Microsoft written ads. C'mon. Oh, and there are plenty xbox supporters in those articles.

Benchm4rk2551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

@Tyler

Scorpio articles everywhere because it's the hot topic right now. N4g and other sites want the clicks. As soon as a title says 'Scorpio' in it you are going to get both fanbases clicking on them and then begin bashing each other in the comments section. The mods purposely put those topics front and centre because they get the most attention.

IamTylerDurden12551d ago

Benchmark. Scorpio articles have been posted atop N4G for 6 months not just recently.

stuna12551d ago

Not saying this to start anything, but in a way it's like Microsoft agrees, hence Scorpio!

ninsigma2551d ago

Only if it's developed on UWP for Windows. There's a bit more complexity in porting when it's been developed for normal architectures.

MecheSlays2551d ago

if its successful its gonna come to xbox

XanderZane2551d ago

They just went with the larger install base. It'll end up on the XB1 eventually. All the other Indies that were PS4 exclusives (Olli Olli, Outlast, Super Mega Baseball,, Rocket League, etc..) ended up on XB1. So no worries really.

IamTylerDurden12551d ago

Those games were successful, hence why they ended up on xbox. This game will only end up on xbox if it is a commercial success. It's by no means a guarantee.

To say every PS4 console exclusive ended up on xbox is a flat out lie. Please.

Did Transistor end up on xbox? Helldivers? Salt n Sanctuary? Apotheon? Grim Fandango? Day of the Tentacle? Everybody's Gone to the Rapture? Hotline Miami 1 & 2? Soma?

XanderZane2550d ago

@IamTylerDurden1
Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Salt and Sanctuary, Apotheon. Helldivers and Hotline Miami 1 & 2 aren't even exclusive to the PS4. Most of these are on PC & Linux.

I never said every Indie ended up on the XB1, but the majority of them have. Not all of XB1 indies have end up on PS4 either. Ori and the Blind Forest, Powerstar Golf, Massive Chalice, Max: Curse of Brotherhood, Gigantic, etc.. aren't on PS4 either.
Transistor isn't on XBox, but it's on Microsoft Windows, Linux, IOS, etc..

IamTylerDurden12551d ago (Edited 2551d ago )

The studio is small and two platforms is the most they could handle. So they decided on the two platforms with the highest install base, PS4 and PC. It seems like a lot of games are going the PS4 and PC route this gen. Makes sense, but like Fish said, if it sells well u will see it on all platforms eventually.

SojournUK2551d ago

It's not a multiplayer shooter, hence the no Xbox love.
