Switch back to Youtube for your video hosting, the quality of these videos are terrible and why the hell would I pay to stream HD through here if it's free on Youtube?

This game was more interesting to me before I saw this trailer. Empty cities and a mediocre sense of speed.

You don't have to pay to stream HD, I just watched it in HD! Just click the HD button.

Woah they crashed through Peter Moore at the end. I wonder if the cops will have the same abilities as Hot Pursuit. Does anyone know if they have freeburn challenges like Burnout Paradise, that was what I spent the most time out of the 120 hours playing that game.

@Microshock: Youtube's available for every video. I use the youtube player because it's quite frankly better. Also they didn't used to upload to youtube in HD until the subscribers said it was okay. So you're welcome.

While this looked great...I'd give up a lot of the flare for 60 frames per second. Guess I'll play on PC?

This game looks absolutely incredible. Great graphics and sense of speed, great mix of Burnout and NFS mechanics. I hope it turns out well.

Oh, it's the GamesCom demo.

Looking pretty sweet. I hope all the DLC makes it on the PC version this time. Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit didn't get everything on the PC.

I just want to see cars mush. The takedowns lack 'oomph,' sadly.

The drifting looks just arcadey enough when you don't just detach off the ground when you handbreak but you also don't just spin out either.

Heh, nice wanted billboard.

I don't know if I love the inclusion of cops into the game. I know it's Need for Speed and not Burnout but I enjoyed the freedom in Paradise. Running away from cops in open world game is usually a hassle, just preventing you from starting the next mission or event you want to participate in. Part of the fun in Paradise was finishing one event and immediately starting another nearby the finish line. If I have to lose the cops after every event, that could really break the flow.

1. Does Peter Moore still work at EA? If so, I assume that's an inside joke?

2. This game looks good, and I like the graphical effects for when you perform a "takedown".

3. The driving still looks really chunky. Maybe the guys who played Burnout want that, but I don't. I liked the slicker, more arcade-y driving of past Need For Speed titles.

4. The only question that matters to me, is what kind of customization will I get with my vehicles? I didn't like Hot Pursuit for this very reason, (beside the chunky driving).

I really hope the framerate is decent on the PS3 version. Otherwise, I may as well just build that PC i've been contemplating. Fuck shitty console versions. So sick of scaled down crap.

i think that at the very least the cars should be fairly customizable. you can see when he starts the demo that it shows an all stock build of the Aston Martin. I assume it wouldn't show that if you couldn't upgrade it.

What's up with Need for speed and always wet roads?

I know it's been said already, but HD video quality has been available for free since CBS bought GiantBomb back in March.

Haha I was just about to comment on his photo being in the game trailer.

Looks pretty sharp, I hope Criterion can keep the feel of the Burnout handling and this should be a pretty awesome game.

Since it's Criterion I hope the game handles more like Hot Pursuit 2010 (especially the drifting) and much less like NFS: The Run.

I couldn't help but notice there's no cut away to showcase the takedown as there is in Burnout. That's kind of a drag to me. Looks pretty rad otherwise.
