Via QJ.net here's the Link (http://ps3.qj.net/EA-releases-details-for-Burnout-Paradise/pg/49/aid/102983)


"Electronic Arts has sent 'round a press release detailing the new feature set in Burnout Paradise (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). Read on for more information minus the PR-speak.

* True Open World Freedom ? The entire city will be available from the outset, giving players the freedom to explore the entirety of Paradise City.
* EasyDrive Online Social Gaming ? See your friends online with the EasyDrive Friends List and connect with them instantly without having to wait or exit your game.
* Single-player Events ? Players can choose from Race, Marked Man, Road Rage, and Stunt by pulling up to the numerous stoplights in the game to initiate the event. Players now have the freedom to start and even end a challenge at their leisure.


Burnout Paradise will also continue the series' fast action and bone-crushing crashes delivered in HD at 60 FPS. Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will also let players take candid Mugshots of their opponents using the PS3 Eye Toy and Xbox Live Vision, respectively."

Looks like we get to see the entire city from the outset!

I think you should get a 360 personally because it is cheaper and more efficient. But its your money so get a ps3 if u want lol

The 360 games are usually better. They have some bonus stuff because MS can afford it and they want to destroy Sony.

PS4's games will be down loadable. I'm sure Burnout will still be around then.
But anyway on topic, the haven't said anything about when it'll be released but I think they are trying for Xmas '08 at the earliest

They have been making it for a while. And to keep Burnout popular they made Dominator for the PSP which was good but full of glitches. It not making this year should be good news for Bizzare because Burnout would have completely overshadowed PGR4

The graphics will have something to do with it taking so long. It's apparently going to have the best crash effects EVER.

I'm actually glad they have pushed it back because it means it'll be better and theres too many games around right now anyway.
Jasperking

Yeah if it is pushed back it might come out when it will be the best game out in that month so more people will buy it
Scott

It seems like it'll have a lot of competition next year with Midnight Club and some other good racing games that I cant remember lol
Jasperking
10-13-2007, 10:52 AM
hmm i think it will rape midnight club though
Toxic
10-13-2007, 04:51 PM
Both are good we will just need to wait and see

Burnout wont destroy MC. They are both different types of games and will appeal to different types of people. It's like PGR and Forza 2 they are both popular and sell well because they are both different.
