Hardly a suprising turn of affairs seeing as we didn't get Burnout 3, but it seems EA/Criterion are keeping the fourth incarnation to PS2/Xbox as well. And for a while it looked like we might get it, since it was originally announced for "major platforms". Obviously Cube isn't major anymore..
You'd think with EA liking Nintendo enough to allow Mario in it's games etc, they could lean on Criterion to making a Cube port. Apparently not. And anyone who thinks this doesn't matter obviously hasn't played the brilliant Burnout 3..

They were easy.

Even the difficult ones I had sorted after 10 go's.

Nah I think Burnout 2's Crash mode was more random to be honest. 3 had a few levels which did require a bit of skill - one was where you had to jump the gap between two lanes of traffic on a bridge which I could never do. And the powerups and multipliers in my opinion made the levels more skillful, trying to get them.

It is quite good but I thought they could have made the skill level for getting a takedown a little bit higher.

Also the crash Mode was awful compared to Burnout 2's more simple affair that required more skill with no multipliers and extra explosions making it way too easy.

Maybe it's because I only played it round a mates and didn't have it to properly play on myself, day after day, but the Take-down mode for me was just an insane amount of fun :S

I have a feeling Burnout 4 will suck. And you can hold me to that.

3 was quite poor offline. You're not missing anything since the Cube's online setup is a joke.

It really isn't a massive loss.

Criterion are concentrating on Black so EA will be handling the sequel. From early screenshots it's looking like Need for Speed Underground with crashes.

EA know very little about making games that are actually fun.

I'm sure a while ago someone (maybe NGC) said it was confirmed for cube. Liars.

Bah, EA suck even more ass now.

Burnout 2 was amazing on the Cube, and apparently Burnout 3 was even better. Surely if Burnout 4 is good enough then they'll make enough profit to justify releasing it on the Cube. I can't see how they won't if previous versions are anything to go by...

Balls.
