Quick Look: Road Show: Burnout CRASH!

@DJJoeJoe said:

Am I think only guy that wants 'less' arcade-y stuff from the crash mode, not more? After touch never felt satisfying to me, hovering your car through the air etc, takes the umph out of anything since it becomes just a floating polygon of video-game ness rather than a heaping rolling mess of vehicle based on a smartly angled crash impact. I want a more sim crash mode, not a less sim one. I want cool crashes.

Totally agree. The fun part of the old crash mode for me was the initial crash not this aftertouching all over the place.

You lost me at Weathergirls. Kinda not excited about this anymore.

I watched this right after the Jaffe interview and maaaaaannnn that dude bums me out.

This game is playable within Test Drive Unlimited 2, right..?

I get where this is coming from, but on it's own this seems a bit basic...

Richard seems like he may have been a little drunk

That's what I was thinking. At first I thought he was slurring because of his second upper lip.

No, just no.

Wow, Burnout in name only I see.

I like where this is going.

The voiceover is annoying but apart from that this game looks fine

Boy, this looks like some kind of fun! Serious, office fun! Like something a model would pretend to play in a Kinect commercial! My favorite part was the zany soundbites from famous old songs. It was like a one-two punch of trite and unfunny, pummeling my sack!
 
Those boys and girl at Criterion sure know how to let loose and lovelessly deliver on a bad idea!

This game looks awesome.

At like 5:42 Ryan makes a comment that Richard Franke doesn't approve of. Ryan: "why do these people keep coming to this intersection, don't they see it's just chaos and death!?"  Franke: "Well you know, you've driven on the roads..."  Ryan : "Yea I know, I know...(mubles something under his breath about realism)  Franke: "...there's those idiots (pauses while Ryan's words are registered) Ryan: "But how far are we from paradise city?..." Franke: "Upset/..."  Ryan: "Everyone there drives like idiots." Franke: "uh-not fair. Probably just stay on the coast"  Ryan: "got it"

Looks like stupid fun. I'd play it. 

What seems to be the officer problem?

"Damn you bastard! You can bleep that bit out"

Not on my Giant Bomb!

maybe i'm insane but this game could be more fun on an ipad/tablet than XBL/PSN

Richard sounds drunk. Either that or tired out of his mind.

This goes on for much longer than  I thought a single crash would. I think this looks pretty cool

This actually looks pretty darn fun. And for some reason I'm liking the use of licensed music, as dumb as it is.

So, I'm assuming GiantBombPornos will be one of the new member's only features?

Wow, dude is SLOSHED! Fun drunk though, made me laugh!

Also: game looks cool, definitely gonna give it a go!

Why can't I just be the lobster monster trashing cars in intersections?

The game as it is seems a little slow, boring and random (stop that pizza truck, oh it stopped itself)

Wtf, the dude's collar is popped.  The guy isn't drunk, he's just trying too hard to appear cool.

I don't know.  Parts look sort of cool, but other parts just look tedious and frustrating. 

This game looks like it will probably be not good.

Let's go over to that car park.. er parking lot.

This game proves that I need to keep holding onto my copy of Burnout 3.

I'm sorry, but I didn't want crash pinball. I wanted crash mode.

Looks well made, but the lack of jumps disturbs me.

RIP burnout.... it went downhill after Revenge, this is the icing on the cake, what a piece of shit

that guy was totally flirting with Ryan. 
 
Game looks like a good iOS game, which is no bad thing, but I don't see why it's on XBLA.

he is smashed 

Now here's a real terrorist/murder/bombing/genocide simulator.

Looks a lot different from bunout gameplay wise, and maybe one of the best uses of kinect I've seen yet.

That guy sounded so unenthusiastic about his own game, maybe he was tired, or drunk as some people have been saying but still, god damn...

Only 10 bucks? Looks fun to me, I'll probably get it.

The fact that this is a 10 dollar product doesn't excuse this as some weird throwaway experiment project. It's a nice looking puzzle-type Burnout game I guess but who gives a shit about that. This completely misses the point about why anyone gave a shit about crash mode in the first place. There is something to be said about mixing that sense of speed and real-world art style with ridiculous crashes. Instead we get this which would normally be a flash game put on XBLA.

That man sounds drunk as hell! =)

as for the game it self. to me it looks like they have made crash mode boring...

More drunk QLs please

Burnout 3 is the best it is going to get sadly. This game looks like XBLA garbage, and the Kinect mode looks unnecessary at best.

This does not look very fun- maybe its the guy's half-asleep delivery

This looks fun and simple. I'm all for it.

This would sell battletoads on something like the iPad.

I would pay 800 Microsoft points for a human heart.

Awww... Anyone else think Richard Franke seems like Ryan's son or little brother?  They're great together! :D

IS druuuuunk...

I bet the PR people weren't very happy about this when they found out
