Burnout 5 To Use HD Eye Toy, 360 Vision

Criterion's Alex Ward has revealed that the upcoming this-gen Burnout game, Burnout 5, will be making use of the PS3's (so we'll presume the HD Eye Toy is coming along nicely, then) and 360's camera peripherals.


How you use the controller is key, how you play the game online, how you use the HD Eye Toy and the 360 Vision Camera online is really important.

That's a meaty sentence: Sixaxis waggle CONFIRMED, camera use CONFIRMED. Though I'm a little sceptical about just what the camera's are going to be used for while racing online. I hate listening to whiny American teenagers, let alone watching them, so they better not be making camera use some big, important "must-have" feature of online play.

Can't see how they can do that, but then, I don't work for Criterion, either. If I did, I'd find Stryker, and I'd kill him while he slept.

    Sure, do the cool thing and rag on Americans. I've dealt with my fair share of British and Australian bitches too, so lets give credit everywhere it's due now, okay?

  • @ARboom: Rag on Americans? Funny, I thought it said whiny American teenagers. You one of them?

  • I don't know... I kinda like that the little fuckers have a hard time acting tough when their acne, their squishy little asexual bodies, and their little fucking birdbones are showing. Even the deep-voiced teeny-bopper motherfuckers can't hide their pathetic gawkiness. It's a nice little equalizer. I should say that's there's nothing wrong with that, considering I was a little teeny-bopper motherfucker with acne, a weird asexual gelatinous body, and a bird-bone... I just didn't presume to act like I was a bad-ass gangsta-god whenever I had a chance at anonymity.

    That aside, I can't believe they replaced Adam Carolla on LoveLine with ... him.

  • "I'd find Stryker, and I'd kill him while he slept"

    Amen.

  • Anyone else think this camera is a disaster waiting to happen?

    Perverts, sexual predators, ugly webcam chicks, and other people of a less than savory nature are going to destroy this thing.

  • What?! You guys dont like Stryker?!

    Ahhh, brings me back to the day of Burnout 3, I remember staying up to like 2 playing that game, every 5 min. "Yo' this is Stryker on CRASH FM!".

    Needless-to-say, he was THE SHIT.

    @Plunkett:

    Haha, I used to be, but luckily for society that was before XBL came along! I just think the American prefix is unnecessary, as most teenagers are whiny and annoying no matter what their nationality. Don't pin it all on us! ;)

  • I feel bad for any female who uses the camera and has video chat with others while playing. They'll see sad young boys attempting to play one handed. OMG a Grrll! Skeet skeet skeet

  • Because clearly, whiny American teenagers are much worse than the whiny (INSERT COUNTRY HERE) teenagers.

    Come off it.

  • wouldn't killing stryker while he slept would be too easy on him?

    isn't there a level of hell reserved for him? some kind of permanent torture chamber including devices to be used on certain body parts where the sun don't shine?

  • @ARboom: You are right,American,Australian and UK teenagers are also little bitches.Teenagers in general,i prefer to play people that arent in the 15 to 25 range.I mean kids and old people are cool,they never swear(too much)and they aren such asstards.

    Well about this i already said it,the headset sucked and it was only audio,why MS thought video was a good idea?.

    I hope it doesnt becomes neccesary yet i would only use a xbox cam for Rayman ONLY....or simply buy the Ps3 version.

    Anyway Burnout ROXX

  • NICE!

    I can't wait to get the HD EyeToy... so shexheyyy :D

  • At least you jerks can turn the game off if you want to. I have to hear that bastard every time i accidentally turn on KROQ at the wrong time here in Los Angeles.

  • In terms of swearing... Well, what can I say, I listened to George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" bit when I was eight, and I couldn't help but curse like a pirate ever since. *shrugging* It's a weakness. Hey, at least I weaned myself from calling it cussin'. Texas was not kind to me.

  • @Skylance:

    "Cursing like a Pirate" actually sounds like an entertaining prospect :)

    It's the constant torrent of F--K and F-G on Live that limits me to playing with friends only.

    I say we have "Curse like a Pirate Day" on Live, and have Brian be our patron saint!

  • Lulz, Stryker. How could you not like him? Anyways he doesn't work for criterion. Here in Dallas Texas on 105.3 fm at about 9:30pm-12:00 am, he co-hosts a radio show called love line (which you can listen to online) and yeah, he uses his burnout 3 name and cofirmed that he was the voice for stryker in burnout. I loved listening to him in burnout 3 and love listening to him on the radio every weekday I think. Good times ^_^

  • @RikuGK:

    What? He...You..What? If you're joking, you're operating with a level of subtlety that's way beyond my comprehension. I mean... How could we not like Stryker? The bane of all things good and right? Fuckin' wars started when that fire-breathing demon spider shat him out of her into the filthy loam, man; Tsunamis raged, husbands took a resentful fist to their wives, plague sweeped through Tunisia, and African teenagers thought they could avoid AIDS by fucking goats. Everything wrong in this miserable world is his fault, don't you know that?

    And his voice, and that name... The fact that that filthy vat of cunt-brine exists sends me into cold sweats in the nights, as it does to all of here. All of us that believe in justice, sunlight, hail-fellow-well-mets, and doffing hats, that is. I don't know why you don't bleed internally from simply hearing his voice, I don't know where you get this horrible misplaced sympathy from, and I don't care. You're poison, you're just poison, man, and for that you must die.

  • Man, I guess that RikuGK and I were the only people to like Stryker. I loved his off-the-wall crazy commentary. I guess that since I didn't take him seriously and laughed with/at him, I was able to enjoy him. Let me tell you, it was a major letdown for me that Burnout Revenge didn't have him. Note, though, Burnout 3 has been the best (or at least best reviewed) game so far, all those after it have been inferior. Stryker curse, perhaps? Nah, probably just all the porting and rehashing (still, good rehashing and porting).

  • Aw man, what's with the camera talk? I don't want to have to see a British person's teeth on my screen. (Don't rag on Americans, biotch!)

  • Well, if we have to use cameras while playing, I don't think I'll be getting called the N word quite as much. Although, I'm not sure how much it'll cut down on me being called gay. I do love me some tight shirts.

  • hope there is an option to play normally,as excite truck for the Wii sucks cock

  • Ugh. I can't stand that cunt "Stryker" and his inane "stories" that extend for 5 minutes or more on KROQ every afternoon. A 12 pack of beer for whoever silences him!

  • Well, it's about this time in the series that EA removes the cars entirely and just leaves you with crunching sounds and explosions.

    They might as well, it'd be hard to tell the difference.

  • If the PS3 has vision camera and siaxis it might be more fun then a Wii game \0/ in terms of physicaly moving and controlling the game... WOW!, I will definatly look for this game in future previews now!

  • We should all encourage female gaming on Xbox live. In between bouts of Gears I for one would welcome some hot slag providing some filthy camming action !

  • Good work, Plunkett! Thumbs right-fuckin-up, I say... Good job pissing off the Americans, not that it's that difficult. You just have to say something negative in the same sentence as the word 'American'- it's great fun!

    Yep, whiny American teenagers suck the most.

  • The use of the Eye Toy(i'll be buying my version for my 360 for the XBL integration not my PS3 and it's likely generic and featureless lobby)sounds like it could be very cool,

    I agree with the guy that says playing with kids and older folks is usually alot of fun with alot less fits and cussing.Something about being between 13-19
    that really turns most American and European males into little bitches that science has yet to explain but is a reality none the less.

  • Well, I'd like to use my 360 camera for SOMETHING. I don't even have it connected anymore.

  • I'm from Japan, and I've played games with people all over the world, and in my experience, Americans seem more whiny, MUCH more racist and overall more easily angered.

    On the other hand, the friendliest people I've met on Live are Americans.

    I guess it all balances out.

  • With today's technology I wouldn't be surprised if Burnout 5 takes a trick from Rainbow 6 Vegas and adds either a live view of your head as the driver of your car or create your own character and put your head as the driver. I think it would be pretty cool to not only smash the shit outta someone, but being able to see who you're smashing would add a whole new level of realism to the game.

  • Wait, did I see someone saying that this vision stuff might be gimmicky?

    Well, I have some bad news. Burnout has been gimmicky since 3.
