"Burnout 3"

While it's always been certain a third incarnation was coming (it said so at the end of Burnout 2's credits), I feared the Gamecube wouldn't see it due to Acclaim abandoning the Cube last year. But now EA have bought the rights to publish the third title.

No one knows why Acclaim have sold this license, as it's probably their best. Burnout 2 was a cracking title, and the Crash mode was great fun. Checking the developer Criterion's site shows that it's not coming quite yet, they're working on other projects, but at least now when it does come, it'll come to Cube.

Driv3r isn't because we all eat rusks and need bibs apparantly.

Last I heard Free Radical moved publishers so they could put TS3 on Cube! Burnout 3 should be on Cube based on previous titles etc.....no idea why they did that.

Hitman 3 is an Eidos published game, and of course nobody (well, only several million people worldwide) owns a Cube, so therefore it isn't worth it.

I have an Xbox anyway to play them, but it is infuriating when the Cube appears to be doing just as well as the Xbox.

But i thought EA largely supported the cube... whats happenning to all the games, Hitman3, Driv3r, TS3 and Burnout3 all supposedly not coming out on the cube.

Heh, Dringo will probably go in here saying something along th lines of, "Never mind, Burnout 3 isn't a system seller anyway, we won't miss it, etc."

Criterion announced it's PS2/Xbox only.

Bummer.

EA had better not ruin it.

Or AJ will go down to EA HQ and destroy them all with a large pink salmon.

Oh yes.

Good good good news.

*prizes*

I remember!

I told you this long ago.
I even was there to choose the name. It will be out in September/November.

munn is the only one who remembers.

Burnout 2 is my favoruite 'serious' racer ever.

I don't count games any more serious than PGR.

It's just fantastic.
