Posted February 20, 2013 I really can't wait for this! This and monster hunter on the same day! Heard no words on how they are reappropriating the triggers, but I think journalists are playing the game this week on the wii. But by all the videos and such it's looking like a pretty definitive version. LOVED burnout. Really hope miiverse auto log is incredible, I have so many ideas on how it can be used and think it'll just be used in a really simple way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2013 Only N4S game I think I played was Underground 2 as a £20 deal of the week when I was at Game. I kinda liked it, though what it did more for me was having a demo of Burnout 3, which I then got and fell in love with(along with Revenge on my original box and paradise) - the crashing about is just so much fun! My mate was telling me about this on the wii u though, and the previously posted Eurogamer article(quite a good read, see @Dcubed's posts a few up) and so I checked out the article. Which meant I checked out a video. Which meant this does look nice and a bit burnout-y with crash bonuses and I think it'll be a purchase for me on the Wii U too(if/when I get one). Will have to wait til it's gone closer to £20 or so though probs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 That game looks great. I'm a bit tempted but still unsure as I've never been a racer. If it was a Burnout game, I'd go outright. The open world bit is what tempts me. I like open worlds where you're driving around. Love it in GTA, love it in Burnout Paradise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 It's the open-world'ness that makes me less enthusiastic! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 Yep, looks great if it's your bag. I'm also a more a track racer gamer myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The multiplayer just isn't as good (it's more the implementation than the quality - you can't just pick a single race, you can't create races, you can't pick a single challenge, you don't have other multiplayer modes that you can just turn on and various stuff like that).

Thanks. Still considering it, never played Burnout too much online I just dunno, part of it could be fuelled by me wanting to help a developer who actually put effort into a Wii U game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 So how does multiplayer work? I'm really looking forward to this game. Don't ruin it now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 So how does multiplayer work? I'm really looking forward to this game. Don't ruin it now From what I can tell, up to 6 player online Local has been stripped out though and replaced with the co-driver mode. Person plays with another controller, second player uses the GamePad to manipulate the area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 So how does multiplayer work? I'm really looking forward to this game. Don't ruin it now It's free-roaming still. However, you have to select six events (from set events) and play through those. You get awarded points based on your position and driving and the person with the most points wins. It works, it just lacks the freedom of Burnout Paradise, and the challenges (which was one of my favourite things about Paradise) really don't work in that kind of setting. Hopefully it's something that has (will be) changed and they'll allow you (at some point) to just pick one event or challenge. It's still a really good game, and probably a good choice for racing fans - I was just expecting it to be Burnout Paradise 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 26, 2013 DO IT!!!! I'm more excited about this then Monster Hunter, Lego and Luigis.... Actually maybe not Luigis. But anyways, that looks like 4 absolute classics in the space of a week for nintendos consoles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2013 Only six players online? Its 8 on the 360 and I think it might be more than that on the PS3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2013 Only six players online? Its 8 on the 360 and I think it might be more than that on the PS3. Yeah but it looks better on the Wii U :P Plus it has that Co Driving stuff which changes the game at will in real-time, rather than having to reload stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2013 The online situation is a worry though. Why only 6? And 8 on LAST GEN consoles? They've delayed the game to implement the online stuff and they still can't even match older machines. VERY worrying. Have they ever explained this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2013 Yeah but it looks better on the Wii U :P Plus it has that Co Driving stuff which changes the game at will in real-time, rather than having to reload stuff I'd still go for the version with the best online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2013 Plus it has that Co Driving stuff which changes the game at will in real-time, rather than having to reload stuff By that do you mean the ability to change the time of day, and turning important features like cops/traffic off?

Posted February 26, 2013 I'd still go for the version with the best online. Will 6 rather than 8 make a big difference? Genuine question I haven't played it. It's a huge shame and very worrying. But I'm very interested to see how they've implemented miiverse, nail that it could be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont really buy racers for the single player anymore as I get bored with them easily so to me I'd take the 8 players over the 6 online. I'd probably get the PS3 version at that seems to have 12 online according to the PSN site. I'll have to check somewhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2013 I actually think 6 racers is better than 8. Means there's more of a back and forth between competitors in races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2013 Will this game be getting all the new DLC or are we looking @ another Wii U port where future DLC is ignored? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2013 @khilafah In the future, your guess is as good as mine, but I think there's more chance that the answer is pointing toward the negative regions. But, the Wii U game does include the previously released DLC on disc, that being 6 supercars , iirc, including a Bugatti Veyron, Lambourghini, McClaren F1, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2013 I actually think 6 racers is better than 8. Means there's more of a back and forth between competitors in races. I read that this game has more rubber banding issues online than Mario Kart, so it could just be them trying to rebalance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
