If you don't like the new Game Paradise, make your own game, 2 years of development and thats with using the original Burnout games as a model, and building the game, constant work I hear, with little time to play other stuff (testing don't count as play), making Podcasts, doing Press and some Mofo, don't like Paradise because the speedo is gone? When you do make your own, fill the hud until you can't see, with outside temp, inside temp, fuel gauge, oil pressure, tire pressure, wind speed, distance from; finish, start, other players, corners, how many cars passed, parking space indicator, nearest bank, resturant, hotel, toilet, bar, school (so mom or dad can drop you off), rev counter, indicators, cats and dogs run over, hand brake indicator, lights, reversing light, music, cup holder, stop, refer to manual, brake fluid, mobile phone holder, and a shyte load of others (please add in comments if your bored), boost pressure, oh and that speedo in dial form and digital at the same time, a spell checker, and crash alot, nice. Criterion made it, if it don't need one, it don't need one. For all we know there is one, but Criterion maybe pulling everyone's chain, lol. They make it for what they want it to do, they know the games inside out, well all the Burnout games to be honest, so who has more authority, Criterion, they know their fan base and it sounds like they are fed up with some of them (my opinion, not Criterion's), moaning and gripping (i'm guilty, I think, but because of fear of the unknown), but for next gen they are mixing up and bringing in new game play, and its theirs, so tough, if you don't like, I will not miss you, but you should be buzy making your own game by now, and when it comes out I will look forward to blogging and foruming it, till the moderators, knock on my door. It better be good, or else? I probably won't play it, as the wheels are Goodyear, an I prefer, Bridgestones, so going to forget that you spent years making the game, and tell everyone who can read or listen, not to play it. Ner Ner!
I wrote something similar on the XBox Forum (well not that long), and should not have, as a flame war will insue, but children upset me with their crying.
And if you like the older games play them, I still do, except 2 as my gamertag does not seem to recover on my Xbox?? And don't move on!
You don't need to play Paradise, and frankly, I don't want a bunch of cry babies on Paradise, as I would spend too much time, kicking them or Muting them, than playing the game, and that is a waste of my time. People have said if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it, but I'm pissed about this, so I am. It seems people do fear the unknown, I know I do, but after listening to the Podcasts, reading stuff on the net and magazines, Paradise sounds fun and the videos look great. I may not enjoy the game, but until, I have it in one console and played it through, I can't say much other than speculation, which i did last year, and some of my speculations came true, so i'm happy. I will blog when the game comes out, even for the demo, but only because I like blogging, and like some of my points of view. But I don't think its crap before, I have driven for at least 1000 miles (Except for your game, get building, I don't like it so far). TDU was a good single player game, multi play had issuses, that put me off the game, but Criterion do thier research, look at other types of driving and racing games, test, test, test and know that what they are doing, is going to be the best they can do with hardware and it works for them, and if it works for them, it works for me. If it don't work for you, give up gaming because you don't like new and fresh ideas, in fact dig a hole, jump in and I'll help bury you as you don't like the future, whats the point of living.
Dis claimer, if people do start topping themselves off, Burnoutaholic's or myself don't claim any responsability, you made a choice, stick with it. I was just finishing the job, because I'm nice like that.

15% this time
Having a very short attention span I read the first paragraph and then scrolled down to the end, I can see your point of view, however if we agreed would there be a point in having forums, fan boys and fan girls will always stay true to a game, which makes it kinda boring, Hey man Paradise is going to be grate, Yes man is going to awesome, Yes man its going to be so cool, whatever, its going to have Bugs, glitches, people will cheat dude, it dosent matter how long Criterion work on it, people will find a way
..When faced with my Demon's I clothe them and feed them and I smile as they are taking me over.......

A copy of my reply, from the flamed, Paradise forum, lol.
I did, and i don't want people to agree, it just seems a lot of crying over some outdated milk, and creating your own game and testing it to the nutz still does not make a great game. But people seem to argue over what they want? If someone wants something that bad, you have to do it yourself, right?
Forums are open to all, i put in my 1/2 pence, so have you, Das Boot. But Criterion said, no speedo, no boost start (still awaiting the thread), and that was weeks ago, when are we going to get complaints about takedown handling, drifting, e-braking and other stuff that people don't focus on.
I think, someone could make a lot of money, making stickers of different types speedos, so people who do miss them, can stick them on their TV's. But most people seem to be wearing a pair on their heads, blinding themselves, to what Criterion are trying to create. Due to the poor takedown physics, and the bug for boosting, Revenge was and is used as a lap time tracker and rank building, a good game in the series, but its not true way of Burnout, which was to drive like crazy, and survive. With traffic checking it just becomes to easy (the reason it was put in was to cause people to crash and get takedowns off, for more boost, not allowed to do that in a racing room, oh, and to boost jump off), unlike Burnout 3, which mostly, was a test of skill and survival, and luck. Not saying racers on Revenge have no skill, you racers have taken it to another level, but that was not the real focus of Burnout games. Hence Criterion changed the formula, and they did say you were not going to like it, and you lunch time forumers or after work before you jump on a game, of Revenge, have risen to complain, i'm just being the devils advocate, looking at it from the other side.
If you go back on the old forum posts, most people have a bad word to say about Revenge, but we still play it, it's good to socialize, and that is what Burnout has, a great social network, one of the reasons burnoutaholics was created, for racers, crasher and ragers to get together and have fun. I just don't find some of the Xbox forum stuff very fun or funny (the start of this post was, lol). But maybe thats how you racers like to socialize, by ripping the pizz and moderating each other, fair do's, i just thought, and now know i'm wrong, you would like a new game to play, since Revenge is getting old, like Halo 3 (i'm so going to die for that, someone is going to knock on my door with a bottle of candy floss and glass me, the poor man's needler, lol).
On Paradise, a new focus (not the only one mind) is stunt mode for the points make prizes, and trying to rack up the points with 7 others in the world, is going to be fun and a swearing fest, we will still have racing too, and there is a leader board (pod cast 10), so you lappers for times, after building a suitable track will be able to keep score too, you just can't see how fast you were going to do did it, but with calculus, time and distance, will give you figures to be able to work out your average speed, which will occupy some of your forum time, lol...
Keep on burning, and your wheels turning, forum fighters unite, lol.

Im getting more acertive
Urm can I ask you a question, what does 'Das Boot' mean I tried to Google it and it came back with The Boat and that dont make any sence, also what does Pimp mean, someone called me a Pimp and I have no idea if it was a compliment or a insult, that reminds me when i first started playing Halo 2 and someone Tea bagged me and I was like yeah man can I have coffe instead, Oh and I actually read all of it this time, yes thats right 100% even the full stop, damn I'm good, right laters Mr Long Post boy.
