I have just been trying to beat Rumple4skins times on I86. I managed one of them but damn man, you got some fast times on the others. I love bombing round I86, so fast

Well ~J~ your top tips just netted me a stunt run of 2,965,540 points.

Consider the worshiping started.

Also EA didn't make this game, they published it.

Well I guess that is true if you ignore the fact EA bought Criterion in 2004

EA game it is.

- still published by EA, still made by Criterion. Its nothing like a EA made game such as the Need For Speed series published and made by EA Studios

Check you didnt do what I did and set the wrong sort of record on it, showtime instead of time for example.

(I assume like me you have the Showtime already, but need the "time" as well).
I believe it is a bug, (same thing for me on ps3 version). Because someone on your list has already got a better online time for that road, to get the achievement, I reckon you will need to beat them, or remove them from your friends list.

Ahh, could well be, might give reloading the game without live on might help, if not, then its gonna be a long haul!

What? EA owns Criterion, what part of that makes it not an EA game and they are only a publisher? just admit you were wrong, its not hard to do. Rolling your eyes won't change the facts sadly.

It is a 100% EA game, from the development team to the publisher, all one and the same, EA.

ScarySquirrel · 31 Jan 2008 at 20:24

Anyone up for some action on the 360?

EDIT: Actually, going to play some FIFA.

yes they own Criterion are part of the EA branding just as you say and i never disputed or even mentioned they wasn't but they "EA" never made the game in their "own" studio - hence its not a EA made game by a EA STUDIO - so yes as i said EA didn't make the game they just published it and stuck a EA soundtrack in it - which is what i said all along - your the one trying to argue the facts

you know full well that EA if they had anything to do with actually making the game in their studios instead of Publishing it would have hashed it up on the PS3 like the lazy developers they are, hence why Burnout Paradise on the PS3 runs so well because EA never developed it!

RuMp3l4$k1n · 31 Jan 2008 at 21:29

Take it to msn ladies.

Psymonkee · 31 Jan 2008 at 21:45

Deary me, EA moved Criterion and all staff to their own base, EA pay their wages, EA owns them, EA tells them what to make, EA tells them what game they want and the direction it will go in, EA employees made the game, if you really can't accept that then sorry.

You tried to put me down by saying EA never made it only published it, that was wrong as everyone can see, you made no mention of a EA Studio, which Criterion actually are in any case, a EA studio, since they are owned and paid by EA. Bit like all the Sega teams, would you then say those teams were not Sega games? ludicrous. Sega never made Sonic, Sonic Team did going by your analysis LOL....anyway as said this debate is neither here or there and just rather silly, so if its ok with you we can agree to disagree for a change
