Burnou - er, Crackdown (Xbox 360), RealTime Worlds - Image 1

The Eye Toy HD and Live Vision Camera weren't the only topics of discussion in Criterion Games' interview with CVG. Now, we recall that Creative Director Alex Ward promised that "we're really going to be surprised" with Burnout 5 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Wonder if this is what he meant by that:

Ward: If somebody asked me what game is Burnout 5 most like -

CVG: What game is Burnout 5 most like?

Ward: - it's probably most like Crackdown than anything else. It's the closest thing in terms of it's your game at your pace. You can do it in any order, anyway you want.

The big problem is that I think some people are thinking we're doing a big Test Drive game, some sort of MMO. But we're not. We're doing Burnout.

Well, that certainly narrows down the picture of Burnout 5... a bit. Ward never specified how much like Crackdown Burnout 5 will be, though. We can probably guess (optimistically) open-world free-roam environments like Crackdown - or for that matter, Need for Speed - and you can plug into mission events as they pop up.

Or better yet, the events themselves in Burnout 5 (or some of them) will take place in open-world environments: no closed circuits, little in the way of guardrails, that sort of thing. We're basing this on the point that throughout the series, the Burnout events have always been mostly closed-circuit (even the Crash events), never arena-type.

But it's still a wild-rear bumper guess at this point in time. Hey, what kind of analysis do you expect from "it's probably most like Crackdown than anything else?"

This story sucks? This story rocks!
