New Burnout Is Making Me Giddy

Giddy as in watching a 30-car highway pile-up (from the perspective of a Burnout junkie).  Hey, Criterion sure loves disasters and mayhem now, do they?  So why not smash their own franchise to bits?  And blow itself up multiple times while it's at it leaving tons of devastated onlookers (aka, fans of the series) in shock?



The game's premise: an overhead view where you drive around town running into traffic.  You ram into and self-destruct (over and over again it seems) to blow up cars to make money.  It utilizes the Kinect so you can steer and jump around like an idiot.

Looks like Burnout has been......taken down.

YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Split/Second studio goes down.  Ridge Racer goes Burnout-ish and everyone hates it.  Need for Speed goes movie-ish and everyone hates that too.  EDIT: Motorstorm: Apocalypse comes out on the brink of the Japanese earthquake and offends everybody.  Now Burnout is getting lame-o XBLA Kinect games and everyone REALLY hates it.  As of now, that Burnout vid has 53 likes and 1032 dislikes.  Really, what the hell is going on with racing games???  What a disaster.  You don't like Sega racers, this is what you get...

Eeeeexxcellent...
