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.

yeah, this is a great idea

you'll think "well i've gone this far to download it etc" might as well pay the little extra for the game :)

hope it's on steam :D
 
We'll see but I am optimistic. Criterion got Burnout Revenge looking great and running at 60fps on the archaic PS2 and Xbox hardware so they seem to be very skilled developers. It is a much simpler game than GTA IV with less complicated AI and physics so it should be less demanding I hope.
 
Yup because everyone knows ports work just like that. Just look at GTA4, perfect performance that one.

lol, well that's provided you have decent PC dev team behind it.
Technically there shouldn't be an issue, whether it's laziness on the part of the dev or pressure from the publisher, they will cause the port to be low quality.
I have 100% faith in Criterion because they are a very good quality game studio; we've already seen it running (and running smoothly) on a laptop, so we should be in a for a good treat. :)
 
criterion seem to be a top notch team of developers - they are taking almost valve-like ethos of free content, and they are taking their time and not rushing anything - they even have updates via blogs etc.
 
From that description just looks like they've ported over the engine and just added a few extra settings for people with gtx 280's..

right.. then compare that to hideous ports, like DIRT. I've played ports that ask me to hit X or Y on my 360 pad, when I'm using the keyboard, I've played ports that don't let you change the resolution, I've played ports that don't have an 'exit' choice in the menu and require alt-f4'ing, I've played ports that don't even have graphics settings for you to change, because it's literally just an engine port.

Any extra effort at all in porting the game is more than welcome in my eyes :)

Can't wait to get my hands on this beauty!
 
eh dirt had all these settings, fair enough it wasnt a great port but not the worst far by miles. (certainly not bad enought to be made a example)

Anyway i havnt played this burnout on consoles but hearing good reports, will defo be checking it out. :)

Fair enough uvmain, however my comment was against the poster who said somthing like "looks like they've worked hard on the PC version". Knowing that my post should make more sense and yours less so.
