Burnout Paradise - The Ultimate Box

Bah! The game looks great, it's a hard job porting something like this to PC and it looks like they did well. Ignore all the moaners, they're only confused cause there aren't many proper arcade racers on PC - this is simulation land I guess, something that's all about fast and violent crashes will take a bit of getting used to for most people.

For the record, I wasn't complaining that "it costs real money". £30 is a reasonable RRP and slightly on the cheap side even - I was just irked that it's the same as the RRP for the console versions, which means that EA are pocketing more out of each copy of the PC version sold than they do out of each copy of the console versions because they're not paying a license fee to the console manufacturer. They're blatantly trying to squeeze a few quid more out of us, and it annoys me, but it doesn't change the fact that the game is, on balance, worth the price.

Has anyones pre order been dispatched yet?

I believe a Jersey etailer is shipping their pre-orders.

I pre-ordered from a certain "bricks and mortar" high street game shop and my order status is "pending". Anyone know how their pre-orders work?

I did get an email today saying my order was now being "processed".

They guarantee release day delivery although I selected 2 day delivery and its not been posted yet.. getting worried as REALLY am looking forward to playing this.

I believe mine is now being processed, so it probably won't arrive 'til Friday. But I got new HDD and DVD drive arriving then anyway so not much point me getting it early anyway.
 
i was joking about the bandwith, i just didnt want to spend my time downloading a 250mb file.

I havnt judged the game based on a picture, ive seen numerous burnout pc videos on you tube, its still the same game, as enjoyable as they are its not worth buying in my eyes.

...down to my last 50kb of internet, best be off now then :D

MY GOD this thread is full of graphics over gameplay idiots.

When has burnout EVER been about the graphical superiority? Its all about speed and crashing and good old fashioned gameplay. People in here seem to have forgotten that games are meant to entertain you and not just look nice.

If what you look for in a game is great graphics, then you are in the wrong place, actually, your in the wrong forum, isnt there a Movies forum on here? Leave the GAMES discussion to those who understand GAMEPLAY...

*tbh, i dont know why im even bothering to waste my breath... graphics whores will stay graphics whores forever, constantly slating games based upon screenshots alone, its just one of those facts of life...


Anyway, back on point, does anyone know when the free trial is out?

I've heard 29th Feb. Don't ask me to find a source though, I have no idea where I got it from.

HOWEVER there are certain "sources" where one can "obtain" a copy of the game disk, which allows installation of the trial on any computer.

yet you dismiss Burnout Paradise without even playing the game based on the current screenshots shown ?

if your a true fan of this type of gameplay and enjoyed Burnout 1 why would you be so critical by just assuming its not worthy of your cash ?

i enjoyed burnout 1 to 3, but they are all basically the same, although fun.

i will try this when the price goes down, its good for a quick blast of fun, which is what arcade games are all about
