Nobody here is going to play multiplayer when this comes out. Why do you base everything on how multi is? Get real, guys... real talk.

Split Second is the true Burnout next gen experience.Based on that demo... nah. It doesn't have that same sense of speed. Doesn't matter if the demo uses earlier cars. Burnout games feel really fast from the very first race. The drifting isn't as tight either.

Paradise? I'm talking about traditional Burnout.
This game will be good, but not Burnout good. I wasn't expecting it to be anyway.

I already mentioned that it was rocky and not as fluid. But you can see it, it's right there. The next Burnout from Black Rock Studios. While Criteron is busy making overworld poopfest racer game.
I'm clearly aware of this. Are you guys reading what I post? It took Criterion how long to reach Burnout 3?

A budget from EA?
even so, Burnout 2 was fun. Burnout 1...wasn't. are you saying this is just the beginning of a nice franchise? maybe

That is what I am saying! Except this IS fun. Like I said, I could see this studio taking the reins and making the next Burnout, instead of GTA Burnout or whatever garbage Criteron cooked up. Do you really need boost? afaik Blur didnt have one except as a power up. Does that suddenly suck?
Also, besides your standard race, there are 5 other modes:
Survival, where you try to build up your score and timer by passing trucks that are dropping barrells that can blow up your car. The more trucks you pass, the higher your score multiplietr increases. There are lots of trailers out there for this mode.
Detonater, where its a single lap with no power meter. All of the powerplays automatically go off as soon as you approach them. Explosive mayhem.
Chopper, where there is a chopper flying behind your car shooting missles at you. The faster you drive, the easier it is to avoid the missles, but the easier it is to crash as well.
The other two modes are yet to be revealed.

This is also from the Pure devs too, so any of you all Pure fans (there were some vocal ones on this board) need to get in here and get your cocks out and jerk off with me.

Sounds amazing :bow
I really enjoy this, especially how the track can be different on each lap. The sense of speed and 30fps are slight buzzkills but overall it's very impressive.+1

I need to play it more but I'm not as blown away as I thought it would be. :-\

At first, power plays seem like an arbitrary gimmick, but after a few races, the mechanic reveals more depth than is immediately apparent. The most devastating power plays require either inordinate amounts of patience and delayed gratification by requiring a completely full power bar, or expert timing. Learning each track is important, but learning the telltale signs of a power play in the making is the key to winning races. This is particularly important later on in the single player mode against AI opponents, which feature some of the most frustrating rubber-banding in a racer this side of Mario Kart.
This is indicative of Split/Second's only real failings. There are a few issues that have plagued arcade racers for years, and Split/Second demonstrates the worst of them. There will never be a race in Split/second's campaign where the AI fails to keep right on your tail, but there will be plenty of times where you're hopelessly outmatched and destined to finish in third or fourth - you're either winning a close race or getting completely destroyed. Meanwhile, a rewind feature like that found in Forza or DIRT is nowhere to be found, and a single mistake in the third lap of a race can result in a vicious cycle of restarts. These don't kill the game, but they do result in major frustration. Should Black Rock revisit the world of Split/Second, it's an issue they should pay close attention to.
There's a PC version? That will be amazing :droolIt should have been, but is not. I picked it up hoping for a smooth 60 fps, but the developers have placed a 30 fps cap on the framerate. :\
Tried the PS3 demo, does the X360 demo have AA? PS3 one seemed really noticably pixelated either from no AA or sub-HD(?). The IQ was really distracting. Didn't look clean at all.Here's what Eurogamer had to say about the demos...
It does look as though post-processing is pared back a touch on PS3, but it also seems to be the case that the 360 version of the game operates with a slightly lower vertical resolution - something like 1280x672 or thereabouts - up against the native 720p on PS3. You can get an idea of how this manifests during gameplay in this comparison shot.

It's pretty safe to assume that any multiplatform release will typically look worse on the PS3. I don't know why you people with multiple consoles waste your time with PS3 ports.Online friends perhaps? The difference in quality between most ports these days is pretty minor.
multiplatform releases are better on the 360.They are usually best on the PC, actually.
Nobody plays PC though, how does that factor inSmooth Groove does. Doesn't that count?

The differences between the 360 and PS3 versions of games are usually nothing compared to the rift between the consoles and the PC. ;)
How big was the difference between the PS3 version and the PC?
Ahhh PS3 fans. When defending their console isn't an option they resort to another platform to feel good about themselves.It would be nice if XBOX360 console exclusives could be released without technical problems, though. The top PS3 exclusives are all very impressive looking while a lot of recent 360 exclusives are all sub-HD and suffer from performance issues. What's the deal with that? Shame Alan Wake isn't available on the PC...
Thankfully Split/Second is so awesome that I can turn a blind eye to that.
Oh, you mean all those old games?It would be nice if XBOX360 console exclusives could be released without technical problems, though.

Thankfully I play video games for fun and enjoyment, not to count frames or whine endlessly on video game forums about screen tearing! You know, like a normal person.
But hey, enjoy your problem free Lair, Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire, Heavenly Sword, Super Rub 'a' Dub, Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, Afrika, Calling all Cars,Gran Turismo 5, and White Knight Chronicles. I'm sure that slick technical polish on those exclusives really makes them a lot of fun.
:pimp - because I am cooler

Good thing I own all systems (even the Wii) so I don't have to deal with that. The 360 just doesn't give the best experience. PC > PS3 > 360 >>>>>>>>>> Wii
;)
Counting frames isn't necessary when your framerate is dropping so low all the time either. It's not exactly difficult to spot.
I really like both games, I guess I'm in the minority.
Blur seemed like an incredibly polished multiplayer racer while Split/Second seems like something I'd enjoy more for singleplayer. I wonder how well Split/Second holds up over Live.
dark1x finally unleashed his persona.That's what everyone else here does, so why not?

Sometimes I wonder if Jesus knows about the rapidly rising distinguished mentally-challenged fellow population.
That would explain the spike in PS3 sales earlier in the year.
I think I've seen more pics of hardware than actual games from him
