I thought he knew and was making a really bad joke.

maybe.. i just saw the same post on gaming age, but it's a few days older.

ah, who cares.

I read this on another board. It's too damn cool. But it's not a real substitute for not porting those two games.

After reading that thread, I am almost convinced that Burnout 3 will just not be in the same league as OR2.

Um... You did read that first post you quoted (which is also the only one from someone that's actually played the full BO3), right?

Burnout 3 has the spped no doubt but the idea of rewarding the player for nudging opponents into oncoming traffic feels completely alien to me.

These people have no sense of competition on a track, I've been knocking opponents into whatever obstacles I can find since I started playing racing games.

yes but begger can't be choosers, so we'll take what we can have for now.


i'm sure there wil be plenty of secrets and surprises hidden in the game once it comes out!

Has this man played any racing game online or in an arcade versus other people? People race wheel-to-wheel like it is their job. Learning how to squish people against the wall in Daytona (and then watching them barrel roll six times) was a vital skill to learn. Burnout 3 is designed that way because the developers are assuming (correctly) that such "deviant" play is going to happen, so they may as well focus the game on it instead.

As for the additions to Outrun 2... the Sega fanboy in me is screaming like a Japanese schoolgirl right now. Good thing I have him locked up in a jar somewhere; people would look at me all weird and shit otherwise. It has been how many years? Eight? About damn time.

That's dirty racing. It's like hitting a guy in the nuts during a street fight - cheap and lacking in skill.

Exactly. No matter how well Criterion has apparently nailed the art of dirty driving, it seems like it takes a lot less skill to drive that way than to link boosts or keep a combo alive for three straight laps.

Burnout 3 sounds like it's got a lot more style than substance to its gameplay. OutRun2 sounds a lot more appealing to me.

Actually, it's more like looking down on throwing in Street Fighter and saying it is cheap.

Once you start setting up fictional restrictions for yourself that the game does not enforce, you're on your way to losing. Playing under a handicap may make you feel better about yourself, but it doesn't in any way make you a better player. Rubbin's racing. Ask the big boys.

And I find the idea of "honor" in an arcade racing game to be hilarious.

I'm all over this game. Such great news.

And hell yeah I'm putting people into the wall when I can. It gives a very satisfying feeling of ownage.
