[Multiplatform] Burnout Paradise Demo Thread

The hell? It's about a billion times easier to control how much pressure you put on a trigger than it is to do so on a face button. Different braking and gas pressures are the entire point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm sorry, but, uh. No. Not at all. The regular brake is how you enter controlled drifts, and how hard you hit it changes a lot of things, including how much you slow down by. And there have been plenty of times in the demo already where I've ran into situations where I haven't used full gas.

I'm not saying this is a sim, but you're playing it wrong, that's about all there is to it.

How ya doing, buddy?

There is a difference between "different" and "wrong".

It is like only using fierce attacks in Street Fighter. You are not doing yourself any favours by limiting your range of actions.

Weither or not you are more comfortable using the face buttons or the triggers is a matter of personal opinion, but having the level of accuracy with a pressure sensitive face button rather than a trigger would take a lot of personal work. And when parts of the gameplay are dependent on said pressure, a more accurate implement is usually preferred. Would you use a ball-peen hammer or a sledge when working with a chisel?

This isn't an opinion piece, Charlie. I'm just stating the obvious.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, shit.

Thanks for the heads up chief. You're a lifesaver.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Some assholes claim there's a slight performance decrease in the 360 version with some dropped frames.

Could be the case. I haven't side-by-sided them myself, personally. If anything, it's so minor that it's not worth getting in a shit about, that's for sure.

Most amazing jew boots

Either way, a way to turn it off equals fuck yes. I haven't played the demo again since the earlier post, I'll just have to play around to double check when I'm in it next.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, heads up bitches.

FELIPE NO

Tonight, actually.

I've got me, Iwata, and Term in for certain. Omagnus if we start early enough, and I can't imagine it'd be hard to round up Mo0, Tails, Garr, or bits and pieces of the rest of the crew to fucking rock and roll.

One of the new challenges is "jump the other 7 cars", and another is "do a combined total of 35 barrel rolls" or something to that effect.

How ya doing, buddy?

We're on the 360, not the PS3. Sorry Charlie.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
