Looks pretty cool to me. Flickers like a mother****er though. RRV has been dethroned. 60hz though. Thumbs up for that alone.

And it's GT Force compatible, as I mentioned earlier. I've got it in me bag at the moment. Can't wait to get home and have a thrash.

There should be a warning label for jaggies like this.

We can't win in this generation.

DC = dead.
PS2 = jaggies.
Xbox/GC = 30fps.

Sorry all, I have to take back what I said about Burnout. When I played it earlier on in the year it looked awesome but when I got it home lastnight it looked like shite. You can't see the fun game through the shimmer.

It has a 60hz option but I had to run at 50hz because my TV won't take it. I can't believe how much worse it looked on my tv.
Very dissappointed.

The 2 player races had no slowdown at all when I played before but I could notice it lastnight...maybe because I was running at 50hz... I just don't get it, Burnout left a big impression on me the first time I played it... must be my crap tv, but still... theres no excuse for the shimmerthon... especially after playing the WRC demo (zero shimmer).

Is Burnout also on the PS1!?! I saw an ad for Burnout on TV over the weekend in which they show some game footage and it is ugly as fu*king hell, it looks absolutely woeful so I'm just wondering, seriously, was that PS2 game footage or is the game also out on other platforms?

I picked up a copy on Sunday (along with the Powerpuff Girls DVD). I'm not too sure what i think of it yet, it shimmers very, very badly, but it plays pretty nicely.

Was that the "Powerpuff Bluff" DVD?

I thought you were joking here, but I saw the ad tonight and I see what you mean. I seriously thought they were advertising a new PSX Need for Speed game or something. I was disappointed, I like NFS!

Burnout is ****ing shit. The shimmer is offensive, the controls are whacked, and the crashes are most craptacular.

Back to GTA3!

Which episodes are they? Extras?

I don't care what people say, PPG is a pretty good television show, especially some of the newer 1/2 hour long episodes (unlike the half hour episodes before)

I can't believe that they have the nerve to actually advertise this on TV! In Prime Time at that!
Something that looks that bad should be reserved for late-night infomercials, along with the Apple Pippin and Tim Shaw's Steak Knives

Yeah that Burnout ad makes the game look absolutely pathetic, it looks all pixelated and blocky so I honestly did think it was for the PSX, I wasn't just stirring.

Ah, you're shit, Candy.

Burnout's good. It's shimmery as buggery, but it pushes heaps of polys and it is f*cking fun to play.

F1 2001 is shit.

You must be doing it all wrong Koen, there shouldn't be any shimmer at all.

Here's the killer, the footage shown in the ad looks far far better than the game itself.

The footage shown in the ad is from very early development, the actual game if anyone here has played it looks much better than that. Need some proof? Go to the edge forums and ask AlexWard (Criterion) your self. In other words your a dick Candy Arse.

Burnout is an excellent game. There is a lot of jaggies if running in pathetic 60hz mode (when will people learn that 60hz is NOT better), but there are tons of cars on screen and the locals are not bad either. This game NEVER slows down and runs at 50fps in PAL while shifting a huge number of polys.

Any real gamer who sits down a does not pre judge a game before he plays it will come to see that burnout is worthy arcade racer and the best on PS2.

"Excuse me, does your game look good?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, I must be a dick, because I played it for about 20 hours and thought it was a jaggy shimmering mess but if you say it looks good then I must be wrong."

Good idea chump.
