Burnout Paradise Powered by PS3

Electronic Arts-owned game developer Criterion Studios has always had a vision of what they wanted their best-selling Burnout franchise to be, but before PLAYSTATION®3, the team was never able to bring this vision to gamers.

Alex Ward, Creative Director at Criterion Studios, was showcasing the PS3 version of Burnout Paradise at EA's Redwood Shores Studio Showcase. He said the new game is making the most of the technology under the hood of the PS3 system.

Wow, I guess sony fanboys have to just lie about the facts. It's been proven that COD4 and Fight Night are better on the 360. Oblivion is exactly the same after the small update.

Please don't lie.

Assassins Creed, Virtual Fighter 5, Orange Box continues the trend that the 360 always gets the better multiplatform games.

fight night looks better on ps3 but ps3 suffers frm some frame rate issues. oblivion looks better on ps3 call of duty 4 looks the same as far as i can tell dnt knw where you got your proof from. DMC4 looks better on ps3 at least for the moment. burnout used to look better on ps3 but apparently they look the same now.

1.7 - My friends

Look at it this way. Why is there a need to say that a game will look better on the console you (personally) prefer? What's the benefit?

Does Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, or any independent studio put the money they earn from your smack talk online in your pocket? In reality you get nothing my friends except for displaying a sense of idiocy over the internet.

Besides after reading the article it's great to see that developers out there are still willing to go the extra mile and travel on a new frontier of sorts. Do your thing Criterion! Gamers everywhere are cheering you on!

4 - Finally

A game that's developed on the PS3 and still looks good on the 360. Criterion are not pathetic lazy devs like all those buffoons at EA this year. EA is publishing the game but Criterion makes games their way and I'm glad a studio recognizes the true potential of the PS3 hardware. The next few years will see a trend where devs shift from 360 to the PS3 as the lead platform for making much better games.

There are still a few more games that are coming out next year that were 360 lead so we should be cautious and buy them only if they're COD4 good.

4.2 - seems

some get excited over lead platform and some get excited over sales, six of one half a dozen of the other. Each to their own it seems. To be honest things like this should only really affect people with both systems. Minor differences between games wont make a difference if you only own one console because what the 'others' are playing should have no real affect on your reasons to buy any particular game, unless its like my reason not to by virtua tennis (no online mode). The people with both systems have a nice problem to have in that they get to chose what console they buy for for any and every multi platform game. You may want an fps for the 360 because of the analog sticks or a fighter on the ps3 because of the d pad, UT3 on the 360 because of achievements or UT3 on the ps3 for mouse and keyboard support. It truly must be good to be a multi(next gen)console owner. One day I will be one.

4.3 - @The Wood

Great comment. I enjoy being a PSWii60 owner. I won't miss out on any great exclusives and yes I will be able to enjoy the strengths of each console. For me, the only things that suck about it are not enough money to buy all the games when the are initially released and not having enough time to play anything. Work and family time have wishing for a 36 hour day.

5.1 -

"We want to get as many people as possible playing Burnout Paradise online," said Ward. "PLAYSTATION®Network is a free and open system and it allows us to bring our vision of online gameplay to the world without restrictions. It's allowing us to do whatever we want."

"We reject the PC paradigm that's dominated online gameplay for a long time," said Ward. "If you grew up playing console games, this mysterious, black ops world of lobbies and clans doesn't apply to a driving game. It works for Warhawk™, which is a great online experience, but not for our game."

So does that mean there's a giant server (Paradise city) - that we just go into and there will be other people just driving around and stuff?

Or am I mistaken? :(

lol!!! looks like criterion is trying to be ambitious. this only bods well for black 2, as that game will also be led on the PS3 LOL!!! the end of ugly ports is now at the forfront, Sega has said that it'll start it's multiplats on the PS3 and then port over. this is great news for the PS3 community better games equals justification of PS3, and ultimtely it should show why PS3 is such a great console

12 - Criterion kicked Peter Moor'es a$$ out of the studios

Peter Moore probably came by with money hats from daddy (MS) to make the game better for the 360 and Criterion, being the true devs that they are, told him to get the f_ _ _ out and stay out you slimy b@$turd. Criterion is owned by EA but they won't compromise their integrity and creativity and gimp their game so it will look bad on one console.

360 owners should be thankful that they don't have to suffer the technical difficulties that Us PS3 owners have in this year alone because certain lazy devs did not want to put any effort in making games that would actually look good on both consoles.

I hope 360 owners react the same way PS3 owners do when their ports are inferior and not buy the game or support the company.

13 - so it looks like what people were saying(me included) might actually be true

the ps3 just needs the right devs and some time.

so this just shows that things take FREAKIN TIME.

im glad ps3 games are starting to look and play well now. im very confident in what 2008 has to offer

dmc4
burnout
mgs4
little big planet(revolutionary)
killzone 2
tekken 6
socom 4
socom confrontation
resistance 2
granturismo 5
jak and daxter
white night story
final fantasy 13 or versus ( i think ONE of them will make it late 08)

ninja gaiden 2.(yes i know its a 360 exclusive but its still freakin sick)

and im not even mentioning new ip's.
2008 will be the best freakin gaming year of all time i think

those are all of my most anticipated games on 08 that ive heard of

13.1 - You got it man, we have the flawless hardware and are now teaming it with the very best software.

It's a win win. Everything that seemed like a problem 6 months ago, is the very reason why the future is gravy for Playstation 3. They told you that this was the future platform for first party and third party revolutions in gaming. 2008 is game heaven. No worries cloud this PS3 owner. But don't hate, anyone can easily buy a PS3 too.

16 - @firstnight. hahhaahahaahahahahaha ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!!!HAHAHHHAHAHHA

did you say fight night was better on 360. hahhahahahahahahaha the little respect i had for you just flew out the window.

the update that the 360 got still didnt make it look as good as the ps3 version
call of duty 4 looks the exact same on both consoles so stop lying to yourself.
and the sad part is that people actually agree with you which shows how dumb people are on this site
virtua fighter, i'll give you that since it has online.

small minded people like you are very irritating. you honestly believe that because alot of games looked better on the 360 that they are ALWAYS going to be that way.

in your way of thinking then the playstation will ALWAYS win since it has before. hahhaahhahah you truly are a dumbass. lol

(walks away from FIRSTNIGHT while giggling to himself)
fight night better on the 360?hahahaahh

i've played both and its as clear as day and night which one is better.......................g et over yourself.

the ps3 version even has extra features in fight night.
maybe if you would have let fight night out of there, i wouldnt have been so hard on your dumbass
