Burnout is a good game, borrowed it for 360 from friend, but I won't buy it, especially not on PC.

I was thinking of buying a PC upgrade, but I decided to buy a PS3 instead, one of the reasons being Burnout. Now, I think I'll go with the PC upgrade again

Time to dust off my Logitech Rumblepad II I played one of the Burnout's on a PS2 one day in a shop and it made me want a PS2... funny as I don't generally like car games and I've been a PC exclusive gamer for about 25 years! Burnout is just so much fun... I don't often like car games due to my inclination to crash... works out nicely in Burnout though. With Mass Effect allready announced for PC I'm just waiting for GTA4... not a fan of the GTA series, but the new one looks amazing...

great new, now Criterion, just put it on steam and I will buy it. I don't like game boxes wasting space, and they are just asking to be sold sitting there unused.

mods ftw.

some of you people are either incredibly dumb or just very good actors, you make me feel like i'm humanities last hope at times gamespot members... haha you tools

Just plug a wired 360 or PS3 controller into your PC's USB port. Let Windows fetch the drivers. Presto, dual analog/trigger racing controller. Or use the wireless kit for PC and your existing 360 wirelesss controller.
It's really not difficult to turn your PC into a very comfortable multi-genre games machine, especially when you're using the same peripherals you love to use on console. What if your PC is too weak to use a big widescreen monitor? Heck, use your 720p/1080i TV. Your weak PC might not be able to handle 1920x1200, but it should be great at 1280x720 (720p), right? Use your imagination. PC gaming can be made to accommodate so many configurations.

*sigh* another 10 gig port for the PC, why can't we get PC games made for the PC anymore, just stupid ports

Burnouts good and all, but still its a port

Cool. Just what PC needed.

No Wii love from Criterion...of course...

Me either. This game will rock.

I can't wait for thissssss

Jesus how hard is it to buy a gamepad for a PC. But who cares it is just a Dumbass shallow game for console fanboyz. For Christ's sake get over yourselves!!!

CoooooooooooooooooooL

i dont like car games on PCs, Burnout it will be hard to play on keyboards...

I cant wait until GTA IV COMES I HOPE IT COMES SEPTEMBER 21 BECAUSE ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND I WILL PROBLY GET THE GAME BUT NOW I WILL WAIT FOR BURNOUT..ND GTA IV TO PC!!!!

Love the double pun in title.

BTW,when a release date is going to be announced?
I really hope it will be this year,though I doubt it....
Well,if it will take them more than this year to make a great game and not just some lousy port,then I'm ready to wait

razzi65 sounds like a typical console fanboy

jidar, can I know what forum is this? Sin-of-mosin, certain vehicles in GTA (san andreas at least) is easier with a pad. Psychonauts is another game I find impossible with a keyboard.

THAT'LL B ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE ON PC KEYBOARD.. IT TOO HARD..

Yeah, cool news, i would like to suggest to Criterion, to release Burnout Paradise at digital distribution, you know, EA online store, Direct2Drive, and many others, for a more accesible buying system; now wating for the release date and system reqs.

I'll probably get it on it's first day of release. Flatout 2 was a great PC racing game. Burnout Revenge was fun on the 360. Paradise should be loads of fun on the PC.

lol at the pun of the title. I hope it has mods i want to crash a ferrari

Any game were cars crash deserved to be pirated.

Great news. This is one of the few game franchises I've always considered as the best consoles can offer. I can finally play on my PC. First Mass Effect now Burnout. Great

Damn, finally a reason to buy a gamepad for the PC.

SWEET JESUS!!!!
THOSE ARE THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD IN A LOOOOOONG TIME!!!
I'm a huge fan of the Burnout series,and I always wanted to see the franchise on the PC.
This is definetly a must buy for me!

this is a very poor choice for an article title. Someone posted a link to this from a forum where they and several people responding all were talking about Burnout being buggy and crashing machines. It was several posts in before I actually bothered to read the article and see the mistake.

Tread lightly usmanthegreat...
We PC gamers do not take well to overzealous console fanboys.

otanikun, its a pun. Because the game is filled with crashes,

I can't see playing this game on my 17in PC monitor. How many people are going to get this for their PC? I think the last racing game I played on my PC was either an old NFS game from the late 90's or a Test Drive game. It was horrible using the keyboard to control the cars and the D-Pad on a controller was the worse. I didn't have an analog controller at the time. Anyway, I'll never play another racing game on my PC. I'm still waiting for GTR to come to the 360.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!

Wait, if it crashes a comp, why are people still buying it? I'm confused, someone enlighten me please.

Alright!!!!! Finally! YEs!!!! Awesome! Well, you get the picture.

Arcade (non-sim) games are usually more keyboard friendly (like PC GTA's driving), but this game is FAST!!!! Oh well, Xbox 360's game pad (for PC) isn't too expensive and that work well enough, right?

wow! great man great!!!wanted to play this game so much now finally i will be able to play it on PC.Cool!!! cheears!!!

@usmanthegreat

You know what, i agree with larlarbd totally. Plus where do u think most gamers started, on either old consoles (NES) and old PC's (C64). At least i know thats where I started. And yes. I have owned a few consoles over the years (NES [which i still have btw] SNES, PS1, N64 and i currently own a Gamecube). But I also own a high powered PC here.

Yes, it ticks me off that most of the big name games go direct to console and then come out on PC anymore (save for Blizzard) But with out PC games, you would have never even gotten some of the great games that are out there today for consoles. Why? Because most of the Dev's out there now started making games on PC.

this is awesome!...oh wait it's EA so we're prolly gonna get some intrusive copy protection. we'll see...

finally a great arcade driving game coming to pc

As an avid Burnout Freak AND a PC gamer I really doubt if this game will be playable with a keyboard. The Burnout series has always been reliant on analog thumbsticks, to port it to the PC the developers would have to tone down the game's insane level of speed...but I digress.

usmanthegreat's comments are a mirror of my own, but from a PC gamer perspective... the PC dont get many exclusives as virtually all the great PC games end up on the consoles... hell some PC games end up as console games with PC port at a later date (GTA was a PC game originally) .
Battlefield was a PC game as well, havent heard of BF:Bad Company coming to PC .

Then again after saying all that Racing was never my genre, so the idea of getting some racing leftovers from the console is not appealing.

thats great news

@usmanthegreat , chill man - I have Burnour Paradise on 360 , but I have a good configuration PC which would run this already grogeous game to the max , I''d like to see a PC version , why not ? what's wrong with sharing a game with already great PC community ? although I have a PS3 & 360 & a Wii , I still play more PC games than those three combined - it's a personal prefference - PC gamers are always getting ignored , when ppl should remember PC is the mother of all gaming .........

@usmanthegreat: All video games are produced on PC's. Hating PC gaming is biting the hand that feeds you. Having said that, I am with Travis281, -I too prefer consoles for racing games.

Chill usmanthegreat, some people prefer PC gaming I guess. I prefer consoles for racing games, but there's no need to get upset at Criterion for expanding their audience.

k_m82, the motorcycle part will only be offline when it first comes out just so people can get a feel for it before they unleash them against the cars. And you'll also have to buy the motorcycle update, codenamed "Davis". But give them a month, they'll probably have cycle vs car races in the "Eastwood" update.

Finally !!!! Its about damn time! Been waiting for this news since the first one came out. I don't care when it comes out, so long as its done right.

Do want!

Gotta hand it to EA, unlike many other developers they haven't abandoned the PC.
