Looks wise it looks a lot like flatout:uc.
What settings do you use?Guess the locations
*snip a few GTA4 screens*
The game looks loads better. Much sharper visuals.But it has no destroyable world and the physics are laughable imo.
It's not a sim, that should help you out.
So isn't flatout 2/UC...
Just to be clear, I'm comparing it with this:

flatout 2 doesn't have freeroam
which is a big minus and burnout has better handling and looksBetter handling and looks? They look the same to me and burnout has the worst handling in any game I've come across so far as I asked before, since when do cars have 20 gears and does a handbrake stop you sooner than the normal brake? Want freeroam? Play TDU instead...
when did burnout developers said it was a sim? its at arcade racer rated at 3years+ what do you want? it's a great game and it was intended to be like this if your so much loved flatout 2 UC (which is just the same flatout2 with a bit upgraded gfx) has some destroyable bridges and similiar gfx doesn't mean it's better and no free roam means it will be boring after time.. plus what about online gameplay? can you ride/drive bikes/cars/ around the city with friends? no! can you have so good stunt runs? no! yes i aggree that flatout2 has better physics at crashes than burnout.. but handling is very annoying i dont say it's bad... TDU? ha... that's a different type of game and driving car without pc wheel is nearly imposible... plus have you played burnout online?
Rated 7+ according to pegi.
The free roam is quite useless imo as you can drive every road in the game in under an hour...
Haven't played online.
I loved the Faltout 2/uc handling, had under and oversteer but not too much of it, releasing the throttle usually suffices... Only Gravity could be a little bit better.
TDU the same really it's far from perfect but it's very good imo, certainly much better than burnout imo, I don't know why you say you need a wheel though, I happily finished most of the game with my keyboard. The worst thing in tdu is the (low) gravity I guess but that aside it's okay.
Burnout feels like the car is glued to the road... Anyways so having a proper amount of gears means a game is a sim?
I just tried bikes and found that much more enjoyable, but they still turn too sharply sometimes imo for the speed. I am not looking for a sim/LFS handling, but at least make people have to brake for corners or release the throttle, or have the right ammount of gears, and perhaps a speedo, I can't see why they had to make the cars handle like in Trackmania's Stadium races. Also the traffic is way too low imo.
might have to pick that game up as it looks like a lot of fun
i love the way you can smash into a shop for a shortcut
i have always wanted to do that at the local post office while all the chavs are cashing their giro

Burnout is not a game for you. FULL STOP. Actually, it seems there's a good reason for Burnout not having been out on the PC previously.
Most people just like to complain, about everything!
The handling has always been as you described in Burnout games, it's not meant to be remotely realistic. An arcade racer for some pickup and play carnage.
Flatout comparisons, fair enough, they are similar game styles. I prefer Burnout but Flatout is a great game. TDU comparisons though, meh, totally different game.
The way I see it, Burnout is about mindless smashing and driving fast into ramps to see where you can get, what you can link up and what will happen. Even better when there's some mates to also mess around. On these fronts, it delivers and does so very well.
+1. No need to pit the two games against each other when they're both awesome fun. I now own both, and I'll still play both.
If Burnout isn't the game for you, that's fine, but there's no need to say it 675234623 times when other people enjoy it.

Its cheap as chips has the live function and looks better. Yes some of the tracks are the same, buts its still a great game. Get it.
Cool, I did love the first game...I followed it religiously until it's release
Reminds me of destruction derby I think, so that might be why.
I'll see if I can pick it up one day somewhere.

That GRID shot looks brilliant, the car edges look very smooth. What graphics card is this on and what settings are you using? I'm assuming you're using some sort of supersampling?
