just played the 360 demo.... smooth as a baby's butt.
Lovely. All the reports I've read, put both versions identical, similar to CoD4.

reflections are better on PS3 and some say the framerate stutters in rare occasions on 360 (very minor stutters though). both are minor differences... i doubt anyone will skip out on the 360 version because of this. i think Burnout is closer than even CoD4; its probably the closest multiplatform game released so far.
By the sounds of it, they started development before the PS3 was the designated third horse. They haven't ruined the game, it just doesn't run quite so well. Also, if what nAo etc. have said, targeting for the PS3 should mean good performance on the 360.
Apparently also the crashes have more bits and pieces flying around on the PS3? But I've also read that the road textures look a bit better on 360 (though that may be due to lack of a speed blur effect as much as better filtering or memory use, I don't know). The important part of it though is whether or not the 360 version runs better than comparable other 360 games. In theory, it should.
Anyway, it's obvious that they managed to create an engine that makes great use out of both systems. Hopefully they'll set a trend.
That and the unreal engine now running well on the PS3 and the OS not taking up as much memory should help with future multi-platform games.Played Burnout over the weekend - didn't quite get the online mode and how I suddenly had friends on my userlist appear in the city along side me - but, DAMN, it was very good fun.
Despite everything I said about this title, Criterion has done it again and this is definately a day-one must-buy for me.
Kuddos Criterion.

That's very much depending on whether or not Burnout is perceived to have competitive advantages over competing titles. If the game is a big success, that could be partly because the development strategy paid off and rendered a big, good looking, open world title with seamless online, decent physics (great damage physics I think!), particles, effects, and 720p 2xAA @ 60fps?
After all, the PS3 lead didn't so much mean that they made an engine that works better on PS3 and worse on 360, but they made an engine that works better on PS3 vs other types of engine on the same platform, and works better on 360 vs other type of engines on the same platform. Right?
I think you should play longer. I was momentarily underwhelmed, but I've been trying it a few more times and it's dragging me in. I can see myself buy this end of January.
And it seems (from the menus) that more challenges will be unlocked as time goes by.
Plus the Demo map seems VERY small compared to the actual map, hopefully the immersion will get stronger as you can actual see how the landscape and surroundings change.
Played it once, alone. The control is somewhat similar to MotorStorm (which I like). The environment is varied; many areas to explore.
The demo is great because it is done properly. It tells me when the game is coming out, it teaches me what other options are available as I poke around the map, it leads me further and further into the game. The game seems very deep to me at this point. Have not ventured online yet.
I will come back to it once I settle down.

Got a video up on Gamersyde It shows off some of the crashes and maybe a successful stunt or two

[modhat]This thread has been very temporarily closed as I move the cross-platform development discussion out. Every time I move the last post, some ninny goes posts something else! The Cross platform discussion is now taking place here, leaving this thread clear to talk about whether the latest Burnout is any good as a game or not.
