I don't think Ea will do that, only Microsoft does. Ea will stick to gamespy I recon.

Sounds good. Burnout games seems popular tho i never really took interest as it just reminded me of somit like nfs etc.

I cant imagine any pc upto this game. leave it on the consoles that are built for these games. Racing has to be 100% stutter free while streaming the gfx as you race at blazzing speeds.

What? PC's trounce consoles...

and also PC will stream better than consoles too, built in hard drives AND much faster than the hard drive found in a PS3 (5400RPM) and I'm guessing faster than the 360's.

HD Laptop footage: http://www.vimeo.com/993575?pg=embed&sec=993575 look how smooth it is!

If a console can run it at 1080p, a decent spec PC will have no trouble.

Not even 1080P, just 720.

I doubt consoles can do this.

I live about 1 min walk from the EA / Criterion office and they have this huge poster (not really a poster, I think it's some plasticy material and a good few metres across) just inside their entrance that says "welcome to burnout paradise" on it.

/me wonders what's going to happen to it when they take it down... I'm not that interested in burnout but I want the poster thing

Damn you Helmut, made me think a demo was released. :mad:

EDIT-Anyone know release date for this?

That will teach you to not make assumptions before clicking links.

Thats been hosted since the 9th, I did not know it was such a big deal as it looks crap for a 19sec 200MB movie.
