Dangerous Driving comes out next week (makers of burnout 3 and is basically just burnout 3) Where is the HYPE!
- Thread starter TheDutchSlayer
- Start date
Honestly, the devs desperately need to hire some proper artists. Their art and design in their games is atrocious. Burnout had style but this looks so bland and like a mobile phone game that did its best to copy it.

From the latest GI interview the team is 7 people and they want to keep it around that team size because of budget and because Alex really does not like large teams anymore.

Its 2004 UI just like Burnout 3 :P and like I said made by 7 people and personally I don't come to a racing game for the UI.
I think racing games that aren't your GTs and Forza's in todays market just don't seem to garner much hype.
I mean, this is a 7 person team making this game, with a limited budget. Criterion back was about ~100, with the backing of a huge publisher. It's unfair to expect much more.

PSN is only the pre-order only VIP pack but I assume normal price is $20 but maybe not a launch?
Every game they've made so far has looked, played and generally all around been abysmal and the destruction in this is still much worse than Burnout 3 so the hype doesn't exist. Tho I guess their small team enables them to keep making bad mobile quality games, charge 30 and still exist
I see. Just all I ever see (in the US) is Forza, and the series has been on a downward trend critically since GT4. It's just kind of interesting because I only recently thought of how GT is no longer the "one biggest racing game series."
It lacks the presentational value the Burnout had. You can tell it's made on a shoestring budget comparatively.
No music, uninteresting locales hidden by a metric crapton of blur... It's a decent effort, and a reasonable price that could make me bite. But it just makes me want a proper Burnout successor even more.

I was very hyped when I heard they were making a spiritual successor to Burnout - until I saw the gameplay. It all just looks very bland and uninteresting, especially the takedown crashes, which should be this huge spectacle but really just look like you smashed two toy cars together.
First thing I thought of was Excite Truck, but that was kinda Burnout with trucks and tricks anyway.
Maaannnn, I need more Excite Truck in my life.
I'm surprised that Jeff was so positive on the game. The driving looks floaty and twitchy and the presentation/music seems lazy.
To me, it seems like Three Fields make games that for characters on TV shows to play rather than actual players. Everything about them looks like something you'd see a kid on a CW show play cause they couldn't licence something real.

Reposting from the other thread, here's why I don't have hype
I think the lack of slo-mo is the lesser problem here. The biger one is the hard cut to the crash. Previous burnout games panned/zoomed to the crash:
This one just cuts, which looks jarring and slightly disorienting. The cut back from the crash isn't a problem, but the hard cut to the crash is.
So many takedowns look like the car was shot out from the safety barrier, giving it a kind of a pinball feel. For example:
Also noticeable when you hit AI cars, they just bounce off of you, like they have no weight to them:
When you crash, the camera angle stays the same, you just get a UI overlay. It feels uneventful:
This is how B3 (and others) did it:
When your car hits a side barrieer, the direction of the car changes to the final one in a single frame, making it way to immediate, snappy, unnatural. In B3, the transition took 5-10 frames.
Also, not a single spark in DD, a buttload of them in B3:
Some AI car animations are just ridiculous:
The sound design is lacking as well, the bumps when the AI cars hit eachother sound like banging on an empty bucket:

Primarily, what it boils down to: physics. The weight, the grip, the contact, the crashes, it just isn't it.
I will still buy the game, solely to support the devs, as I want even a possibility of a Burnout successor that the franchise deserves. But from what we've seen so far, this feels, as much as it hurts to say it, more like a Chinese knock off than a true spiritual successor. It's similar, but lacking in all the important areas. I love the permanent crashes mechanic though. Awesome addition.
Pre-ordered it yesterday.
I was going to anyway but Jeff from Giantbomb saying that he likes it after how down they all were on previous games pushed me over edge.

So the actual game itself does not have this mode? Is that correct?
No, it does not. This is racing only. Danger Zone 2 is a separate executable.
For what it's worth, the gif in the OP does not hard cut to the crash.
If you're interested in giving Danger Zone 2 a shot, might I recommend getting it on a store where they offer refunds?
Hopefully this is something they'll be able to address with the updates, they've already said they're going to add online in.
Burnout 3 is one of my favorite games of all time but the more gameplay videos I see, the more it looks cheap :(
Interesting, because that gif still features the old UI so they... improved the UI but worsened the animations? Very interested to see how many of these details will be addressed in the day 1 patch.
It's possible they pulled the animations out because they weren't working quite right. UI is more straightforward in comparison.
It was on my day 1 list till they said no online at launch. Also I know it's a small team but it's hard not not to notice how jank it looks compared to B3 and Revenge. Not the same type of racer but even Asphalt 9 doesn't look that janky
This isn't "Burnout 3" this is all the pre-Paradise Burnouts mixed into one.
not happening:
it's a 7 person team made up of former Burnout devs. ...
I know man and I truly appreciate their effort, but it doesn't change the fact that the game doesn't look good, and I'm not speaking only about the graphic.

I'm really not seeing it beyond missing super fancy explosions and effects and the boring UI & HUD.
