New revelations on Burnout 5

Burnout 5 - Image 1We came across GamePro's exclusive report on the lates details surrounding Burnout 5. There will obviously be a lot of changes once it hits the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360 this fall, but we're excited to see how the developers at Criterion have facilitated this speed demon's evolution.

Criterion Games is bannering the new "open world" that the game will have. Much like the Grand Theft Auto series, players will have absolute control of when the game starts and ends. That means you can pretty much coast through the massive locals or step on the gas and fly your angry iron all over the streets.

The game doesn't have barriers when it comes to racing, and it has no intentions of making you follow any rules. What it does instead is that it constantly tracks your activities, whether you're just there for the sights or on a takedown spree. All of these activities fill up the stats in your driver's license. The driver's license is the gauge of your skill levels, which will influence your ability to handle different vehicles.

Criterion also revealed that while Burnout 5 will be both in the Xbox 360 and the PS3, the focus will mainly be on Sony's high-end console. The hardware advantages offered by the PS3, such as 1080p on HDMI, more processing muscle, and the possibilities that the Sixaxis controller offers make it the platform of choice. Details on what will and will not be in the consoles exclusively have not been disclosed.

The game will also avoid having that "one super car" that will simply dominate the rest of the lineup. Criterion says that having one car with all the great stuff under one hood spoils the fun in online play because it essentially breeds an arena where everyone uses the same vehicle.

Burnout 5 still has several months before it springs out of the garage, but the innovations provide lots of intrigue as to how the aggressive driving franchise will be received by fans and casual gamers alike. If you want the nitty-gritty on the details, follow the Via URL and see the full report.

What fuels people like you? Is it jealously? WFT does it matter if they are choosing the PS3 as the platform? 360 owners are still getting the same game... So why don't you give everyone else a "fu*king break" and get a life outside of the comments section of this website....

# um...Guest 2007-04-19 05:38
no im not. So they are focusing on the PS3, I still get to play it on my 360, so what do I care what they do to get it there? People need to grow up....



As far as them saying the ps3 has more power, pretty much every dev has said that it does (at least in theory) so if they want to focus on the PS3, thats fine by me. And before anyone starts saying im a PS3 fan posing as a 360 player, check my gamertag (slipstream0)

Do you think PS2 owners were clamoring because the original xbox had more power than the PS2? I wasn't and I'm not now. I have both the PS3 and the 360. And just touching both of them without even turning on the power tells you one of them is cheaply constructed and the other has much higher quality construction, hence the higher price.



Every developer, publisher, hardware maker has said that the PS3 is the most powerful console right now. MS even wants you to believe that you don't need the most powerful system because they have better software (serious joke). Even though their whole claim to fame with the original xbox was that it was more powerful than the PS2, now power isn't important. And having more software equates to being on the market a year earlier, which gave them a lead that continues to dwindle daily.



Get a life please and try to be happy with what you have!

# Its true...Guest 2007-04-19 08:30
There really isnt an argument over which system is more powerful, The PS3 is. The argument is which system is Better. Power does not = Better, as we should have learned from last gen. I own both systems and love them both. In terms of gametime I play my 360 alot more than my PS3. But what this developer said true. Yes the 360 has 1080p but it cannot compare to the Ps3's 1080p due to the connection. First of all not many televisions do 1080p through component, and component does not give comparable clarity to HDMI (ever notice that even VGA looks better than component on 360). And yes you can make the argument about the elite but how many people are actually going to buy an elite? there is no sense in programming for something that less than 10% of owners can even use. It has been proven for a long time that the PS3 has "more processing muscle" due to the Cell. And Motion sensor is a cool addition... Look at the wii they are selling a buttload of systems because of their controller. This article will not upset "REAL" gamers because they know that BOTH systems are good and OWN BOTH SYSTEMS. only stupid fanboys and broke people will let this bother them.

"Every developer, publisher, hardware maker has said that the PS3 is the most powerful console right now."



They also say it's only slightly more powerful overall, with the PS3 having a CPU advantage and the 360 a GPU advantage.



I doubt we'll see much if any difference between the game on the 360 and PS3, just as there was little difference between the previous versions on the XBox and PS2.



Interestly, this series has always led on the PS2 (the PS2 was the lead developement format for the Burnout games last gen, not the XBox), so it's no surprise to see the same this gen.



And of course, 1080p over HDMI is not possible on the 360 right now because 360s do not have HDMI ports, until the release of the Elite that is (I would be interested in Criterions actual words on the matter, not the reporter's interpretation) . I expect 1080p will be possible on the 360 version.

This little queerbate needs to get a life and also a system. If queerbate "no sense" can't handle it he needs to get out his mommy's house and get a job so he can get a PS3. He also needs some education and therapy because he lacks both. Little peckerhead needs to stick to the 360 site and quit making himself look stupid by coming on the PS3 one obviously mad that his system can't stack up to what he wants and cant afford a next gen hub.

games will be more than 9 gigs and for good reason before the PS3 life cycle and the 360 will be playing the little games you are used to. Go ahead little fella, give it a try. Don't be scared. The PS3 won't bite too hard!!! Mwwwaaaaaa Haaaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! !!!!

# umm finally?Guest 2007-04-19 21:10
am i the only one that realizes the word FINALLY when readin something like this, i mean every single multiplatform game that has been developed for both 360 and ps3 has been made to take advantage of 360's power then just port the horrible crap(meanin they always do a bad job lol) to the ps3, now its sorta like they gonna try n do as much as they can for the ps3 and then just put it on the 360 honest to god i never would have every thought a multiplatform game would b done that way, i jsut gotta say finally, cuz all these comparison videos was a 360 game ported to da ps3, now lets wait till the reverse result of that

# swings and roundabouts ppl...Guest 2007-04-20 05:30
Its good that its optimized for 1 system than being *****e on both! Just like the Tom Clancy games are better on 360, Burnout 5 should be better on PS3. Im sure iv recently read that its easier to port from ps3 to 360 than vice versa anyway so everyones a winner (in this case at least......)
