UPDATE

Burnout Paradise to offer new take on demo concept

For decades now, demos and shareware versions of PC games have included small samples of the full experience—usually the first handful of levels. Well, the folks at Criterion Games are about to turn that concept on its head with the PC demo of Burnout Paradise. As Shacknews reports, this "demo" will include the entire game, compete with multiplayer functionality.

Criterion explains that the demo will limit "just how much you can do and for how long," but gamers will still be able to go anywhere inside the racing title's virtual world:

In Burnout Paradise, you're free to explore a massive city, loaded with fun things to do and places to go. Pull up at any of the 120 junctions to start one of 5 event types – Burning Route, Marked Man, Stunt Run, Race and Road Rage. See if you can find the beach, quarry, dirt track and airfield playgrounds spread through our five boroughs. The city also morphs seamlessly into an online world anytime you want to hook up with your friends and cruise around beating challenges.

And rather than having to walk down to the store to grab the full version, players will be able to "upgrade" via a "trial store within the game."

Considering how enormous game demo downloads are these days, letting folks download the full game and buy a key to unlock all the content seems like a logical step forward. This type of release could also discourage BitTorrent-savvy users from simply grabbing the full game to try before they buy.

Wow, just wow :D They really do like to push the boundaries.
This is not going to be a shoddy port ;)
 
Still going to buy this but EA publishing so more Securom DRM to protect it as well!! Only took me about 8 emails to EA support over 3 days to get my retail Crysis Warhead activated again after someone stole the serial no via a keygen!!
 
Sounds good. I guess if you enjoy the demo, it is easier to buy the game as an impulse buy at that point, because of the minimal extra effort involved.

Same as Grid though.. Grid wasn't protected in any way, you could download the game and play online without any DRM or activation.

It's a bold move, but one I really like.. I didn't have to install any third party ****, I didn't have to create an account with anyone, I didn't have to read a serial from the cd case - which is always in a font where O and 0 look the same - I just installed the game and played it. Wonderful!
 
Always loved burnout, so glad it's coming to PC! At last someone is listening to us in relation to DRM rubbish. It would be pirated regardless of whether the demo is free-roaming. The responsibility lies upon the end-user, not the pirates anyway. If you decide to download and play a cracked version, it's your fault, not the crackers. Making it easier to buy is a good move. Nice one Criterion!

If this is anywhere near as good as it seems, i'm preordering ASAP! I already have a 360 controller. It should run ok on my gfx aswell according to what people have said/posted. Finally!
