+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted February 3, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yea Feb 5th in Canada, going to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Tempted to buy this, didn't give it much of a play on my Xbox... but I always do like playing games more on my PC, so this looks like a buy :D Edit: It's also cheaper (for the UK anyway) to download from Direct2Drive, rather than the EA Store by a couple of quid. Also, I think they provide the files you can keep - rather than installing that horrible EA downloader rubbish. Not 100% on that though.

kagaku Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I do have to say, this is definitely one of the better console ports I've played in a very long time. Especially so after how disappointing GTA4 was. Running at full 1080p with max settings and getting a decent framerate (not sure what it is exactly, but it feels smooth).

Pupik Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Man, if only EA had the brains to use this engine on NFS: Undercover. The game would of been so much more fun (got to love the almost visible shock wave in slow motion after a crash). Oh, and this game isn't bad at all. Good fun for a few.

bobbytomorow Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I got all the settings cranked and running the game @1080p and its completely smooth as silk. Nice job EA. EA is starting to churn out some quality for PC gamers, first Dead Space which I absolutely loved and ran sweet and now Burnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted February 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2009 Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) is a rendering technique for efficiently approximating the well-known computer graphics ambient occlusion effect in real-time. It was used for the first time in a video game in the 2007 PC game Crysis made by Crytek (the technique was developed by Vladimir Kajalin). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Space_Ambient_Occlusion I just watched the Accolade trailer for Burnout Paradise and I'm pumped. I'm definitely buying it this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
