AWWW. Doggie!

I almost expect Rorie to show up on screen after that.

Crash does not look like a game that will succeed. Just lokks very bland with a few things to do. JMO

Do I see something Dead Space related on the screen to the right in the background at 8:23?

No mention of NHL12? COVERAGE FAIL.

It may be under embargo.

Shame on PR then, they should know that everyone's more excited about that than anything.

You know what, I've warmed a little to the Burnout game. On the following conditions:

• It is not overpriced - could very well be an iphone/pad game, so should no way be over 800 points.
• Kinect does not belong with Burnout... jumping to explode the car looked terrible.

No offence to the game, I'm sure it is ok etc but man... that Burnout guy was talking a lot of PR bullshit.

No mention of NHL12? COVERAGE FAIL.

cool

Burnout Crash looks awful. I have zero interest for that game, even with Jeff thinking it looks cool, which I don't really understand.

I thought Kinect was going the way of Game Room?

I'm really sorry for the guy who has to sit there with a straight face and say Burnout Paradise would've been better with Kinect support.

Sir Bruce LOL

I really couldn't tell whether he was serious about going to prison for stealing, whether it was just a goofy aside or whether it was the greatest Jane's Addiction reference I've heard in weeks.

God I hate Jeff's game face, and yet he must employ it so much of a day!

Also, never thought I'd see Brucie on a GB video. Never again please.

The sceptical developer who was "conver$ed" to Kinect is becoming a gaming cliché. I don't believe you guys for a second.

Who wouldn't sell out for a phat pair of Chuck Taylors?

BioWare!... oh no wait they sold out to Kinect too... I guess no one is safe. Xbox On!... eeehhhhhhhhhh.

The hell you done to Burnout? Urgh

Burnout Crash looks different but I can see it being fun. Doesn't look too good for the people who loves the series though.

I think Burnout Crash looks like garbage.

Criterion to develop the Generation Game game confirmed? With Sir Bruce?

Nice to see you, to see you....

Imma play some burnout paradise now.

I never knew pre-Kinect Burnout was so hard to play - I must be a videogame GOD.

Oh great, they left crash mode out of paradise so they could make this game..

The fuck did they do to Burnout's crash mode?!

Burnout Crash looks terrible. Hopefully it will play better than it looks.

good game, good game.

Yo, dawg.

lol at the today on the spot music

Only assholes make dachshunds jump.

I find it really odd that Criterion is developing Burnout Crash with XNA. They're a pretty huge studio that probably has their own engines.. weird.

Burnout could work, but what I'm really interested in is the hidden Battlefield 3 footage.

Or press delete as I don't like red bull so anyway, awesome a racing game that is rubbish and like GTA2.

My dog will eat your dog.

Not sure what to think of Burnout Crash. Not exactly what I was looking for in a crash mode. Certainly don't like the top down view the game as. Wait and see I guess.

Oh and Sir Bruce Forsyth appearance! :D

As much as I love GB and Jeff, hearing him mutter the word hockey was probably my favorite moment ever visiting the site.

I think Burnout Crash, looks kinda fun i like the top down perspective.

Nothing of any real interest there. I wonder. If EA dies what would happen to Bioware? Would those guys go off on their own again under a new name, or would they have to get absorbed by whatever bought EA?

Geeze, it's just the summer. No need to overreact.

Someone's over reacting? There was nothing of any interest to me shown in the video to comment on, and the entire video was basically just Jeff and Brad saying that there was nothing of any interest to show or talk about ether. So rather then just say "Well that was a waste of 7 minutes" and leave it at that, the thought popped into my head about what would become of Bioware should EA go away. Bioware is pretty autonomous within the company as far as I can tell, so I wondered what would happen to them should EA ever get into the position where it had to sell itself off. Sorry for posting. I didn't realize the post would hurt you so badly. Next time I will run it past you to make sure it's safe.

You think EA is going under and going to take bioware with it after watching this video. I'd call that overreacting. Then you flipped the fuck out after I said "no need to overreact" So I think you got overreacting down to a science.

Really? You got all that from my first post? Wow... You want my exact line of thinking when I made that post?

1. Well that video sure was boring. Wish I had have done something else instead of waste 7 minutes watching that.
2. Weird that a company as big as EA wouldn't have more games to show at a privat event where they no doubt spent a lot of money flying people out to.
3. I guess they must be putting a lot of focus and resources behind a couple of their big games (ie. TOR/BF3) so it makes sense that they wouldn't have all that much else to show given that they said at the start this was supposed to be their B games.
4. Man, it would really suck if those games bombed on them if they really are riding on them going huge. It might even be enough to make the company go under.
5. If they did go under, I wonder what would happen to Bioware? They are huge part of EA now, but since they are pretty much left to their own devices. I wonder if they would just pull out of EA and go back to being independent? I would hate to see them churning out yearly games under a company like Activison.
6. HEY! I bet that might make some interesting conversation in the comments section of this video! Might as well give it a go. Worst that can happen is no one reply's.

Apparently that was me flipping out, screaming at my computer and predicting the down fall of EA... You guys really need to calm the hell down and stop reading into things that are just not there.

How is speaking your mind and posting a theory overreacting?

What kind of a dimwitted moron would you have to be to want to play Burnout Crash with the Kinect. Seriously. That's the worst use of Kinect I've ever seen, and the Kinect library is filled with bad uses.

huh sounds like a lot of safe stuff.  the burnout game with kinect controller is a bit of a stretch though.  I'm curious to see what it ends up being and if it's any fun.

What the hell has burnout become?

DUDE that Criterion guy is my new favourite interviewee. He sold me on not only the game but the company. I cant wait for anther burnout game. That company helped make Need for Speed what it is now i will give them my money at least a few more times.

Am I mistaken or is that music halfway through the video the same music that Gamespot uses on their videos?

Also I can see why they didn't showcase these games at E3. That Burnout game should not use Kinect. That is just so forced.
