Neophobia

Yup, put me in the LOD column. 

I think your onto something here.  I totally forgot about all the other people that play the game that probably aren't as obsessive about Burnout as alot of us are.  Criterion are making the game for the masses and they  are likely to really enjoy the game.  It just wouldn't be very good business to make a product thats tailored around the wishes of a choice few.  I'm still looking forward to Paradise and like you were sort of saying, I'll always have my copies of Revenge.

" Ooh ooh ooh......VERTICAL.......sweeeeeeeeeeet! "

I think most of the reactions are due to misunderstanding what Burnout Paradise is going to be like. I don't quite see how anyone can still be so unsure as we have a load of gameplay videos from E3 and the shows since, and there is the podcast and mailbag at Criterion Games own website to ask any questions about the game.

A lot of Burners seem to be hearing one thing about Paradise and judging it on just that instead of considering every aspect of it as a whole NEW game.

But maybe I am just a Loony Obsessive Diehard who would love any Burnout game just because of the title??? I think this maybe true as long as its a Burnout game that has been developed by the Burnout team at Criterion, cos they Rock!

Nice first blog hn6!

Oh dear I feal that I have to reply to this thread if only to clear my name, I do not consider myself to be a fanboy of any game, I do not belive that I am addicted to Burnout all though it is the game I play the most, heck I thought it was made by EA and that Criterion was a make of a car, I do not consider my self to be a burnoutaholic mearly a guy who is to lazy to find out more about something for himself, I do not consider myself to be a LOD, I do not fear the unknown or the dark or silence, hope that helps, Oh and I have a suicidal habbit of posting anti game info on a fansite..

 ----Insert witty comment----

My fear is, having to get use to a new driving style, instead of sliding 'bricks', going have to contend, with four wheels, doing the drift? Also, yes this will be awesome, for road rage, but if the in game physics, is like Revenge, the road rages are not going to last that long, I would rather have a battle on my hands, than fart in the general direction of another car to take them down, but then again, they might not be dead in this version, so they spawn, to be farted down again? Though going by the footage, the cars seem to have some weight behind them, so maybe it won't be so easy? Otherwise, I’m just in fear of being a newbee, on a new game, where I’ll be someone’s bytch?

But I am looking forward to playing with what Criterion has to offer, they have made games that I have always played, for varied times, and there is always something in them, that will keep me amused for many hours. Setting up a Road Rage, around the whole loop of the map, with pit stops for smoke breaks, then start off again with the smashing and mayhem and hopefully not the farting in the general direction.

On another note me and Broken, sorry, Broken and I, played Halo 2 last night and had some great fun, a lot of sexually repressed gamers on that game, a few muted and feedback sent, sorry, but you act like a Pen, you get silenced, and Broken, gave me a compliment on my flag capturing skills, which ended the game early, disallowing him his usual kill count. Sorry Broken.

Some of his words were, right killed some people, time to get that flag, head in direction of flag, Suffur pops over the hill with the flag in his hands, like it’s a Sunday afternoon walk, Broken covers Suffurs back, another capture, I think we did 3 captures, in less time than it takes to drive 4 Warthogs and back without the Hogs( well I drove one on the first flag, went in got the flag, came out,(oh err missus) jumped in the passenger side and had to wait for a driver, doh, before I got drove home, {last date I go on with that guy, and all I got was a lousy flag}), p.s. Broken got a flag too, even with his kill count, (how does he find the time? With all the hot projectile butchery), (though we did have some guy in the air, giving great air cover, just in case the fly guy reads this and I don't give some credit. And there was 3 other people on the team, including, bad date guy, May plasma burn his genitals.) 

My kill counts were poo(r), but then again I did have a flag in my hand, or was driving a 'Hog', now that’s a car, with some established, fun physics. Since Halo 3 is, sort of out (Thank you Argus and Tisco) and people picking it up on the release day, like the rest of the world can, this game will be played more, than Halo 2, but it may mean, that Halo 2 will not be so busy, and may not have so many, 'to be mute, sexually repressed gamers'. Credit should be given to Broken, for using the Sexually Repressed Card, as it shut up most in the room, except the ones who do get sex and laughed. Anyway, will be playing Halo 3, because I like the video edit function, and Forge, the Dungeon Masters tools to cause more mayhem, in multiplayer(and tank dropping). Oh and to those Rainbow 6'ers I play with, when you do go back to Halo, if you do, watch out, the game is a lot faster, I had some moments where, my head was spinning so fast, that I killed Broken at least 3 times in confusion. To which all I can say is oops, sorry, will try harder next time, lol. And if there are any Pen’s, I will mute; it’s so easy to do!

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?
