Burnount Paradise Demo next week?

The engine is fantastic, really smooth and looks great, just how a burnout should be.

However the gameplay doesn't instantly hit you and make you go "wow" and "cool" like previous burnouts, but I've only had a quick blast around, there looks to be plenty to explore.
 
After downloading the demo I am a tad confused.

The game looks excellent (PS3) however what is it trying to be?!

Is it burnout as previous or is it TDU but with crashes and from I can tell so far a poorly implemented online system whereby I don't get to see other racers on the map (ala TDU)

The sixaxis motion control is pretty cool though (although sensitive)

As said though whilst I think its a good game I am just confused on what it is trying to be (could someone clarify please?)

Cheers
 
IF you want a "Burnout" race like you're used to, go to the Far-Eastern part of the map where there's a T-Junction and you should get a message asking you if you want to start the Challenge. Accept that, and away you go.

For those of you wanting to know what it's like with a Race and in Free-Roam mode. There's your answer!!!

Happy?
 
Burnout Paradise Comparison Pictures.

These shots are purely for a graphics comparison. The colours may be different.

PS3 is at 720p through HDMI and Xbox 360 is on VGA at the 1366x768 (think its that)

I wouldn't say no matter what anyone says. There may be slight differences between the two versions, but I'm struggling to see any tbh.
 
There are some very slight apparent jaggies on the PS3 shot of the auto repair shot however this could be down to the screenshot itself.

Other than that identical.
 
well i'm not totally convinced about this game :(

Looks pretty, handles nice, V8 sounds awesome lol but the open world thing is a bit meh for me.

just spent 20 mins or so randomly driving round, just like i did on NFS and TDU till i got bored. it just seems like a lot of effort to go and find the events to do etc at the traffic lights. I'd rather flick through a menu and load up an event like all the other burnouts

Though it was nice of them to include music from burnout 2 in there :)

As you say it's probably the shot. It was very hard to get it the same, as you can see one if closer to the car and the other is further away.

I was surprised at how well the PS3 did AA. It being on HDMI will make it sharper and give it more jaggies compared to the 1:1 pixel mapping of the VGA Xbox.

It would help to compare if you turn the contrast down, my eyes hurt just looking at those screens. :p

EDIT: Quaz on B3D has confirmed both versions 1280x720p MSAA 2x.

They are straight from the camera in RAW so the colours will be off. They wernt to show colours. they were to show graphics, AA, and AF etc...

Yep I was also suprised by how well the PS3 handled the AA. It does appear to be applying some level of AA to the scene (I say this after playing the demo and not by looking at screeshots)

I would say probably 2xAA the same I assume as the 360.

Given that the game is running at 1280x720 it does look very crisp indeed.
 
I have to say I really like it, really well polished game and good fun.

Only complaint I have is the low chase view, I'd rather it be a little higher.
 
Good games Mr Latte!!! I am actually enjoying this game now!!! Sense of speed is much better in Internal car view, and the umble with *** dual shock pad seems just right!!

Time for some Tekken or GT5 now.

The creating online games etc seems really easy. Will compare to the 360 one tomorrow, given up trying to download it for tonight.
