    This game is for PC. Anyways two things on this game caught me off guard

    1. DISNEY HAD SOME TO DO WITH THIS?!

    2. Explosions are really phenomenal, take a look guys:

    Disney is a PUBLISHER. That is all. It's from the makers of Pure (the best offroad ATV game) and Disney was the publisher of that game aswell.

    Anyways it'll be a great game for sure, Black Rock Studio has not let us down before. Here's the latest trailer.

    Looks like they got licenced cars, because Burnout Paradise City only got fake cars.
    Maybe il buy it for PS3 when it gets released! :)

    (Currently waiting for Army of Two: The 40th day, because its a blast on coop)

    I'm sorry, but that looks far too fun :eek:

    I remember seeing something about SS in the summer, but haven't heard anything until this thread popped up.
    Definitely looks like a pre-order for me :D

    You are right, i checked too fast, lol. I played PURE the demo and didnt like it much but i think i may scoop it up because the price is pretty damn good right now.(Under 20)

    Im not sure if they're licensed....(I never payed attention) EDIT: Ok......they are licensed awesome

    Hm, Army of two eh? Man those gun customization options were so sick in the first one. I like that you could have your guns done golden is was pretty sweet.

    Lol, and here i thought you were going to say something bad :p It comes out on may 1st. I can only imagine what this looks like on full res from the PC.

    looks like a load of arse to me. very overdramatic hollywood "lets put as many explosions and needless violence into a racing game as we can"

    dont get me wrong, i love burnout, but this looks a few steps too far.

    I really like burnout paradise, I dont think this game will compete with it. however I will give it a shot if the price is right.

    I think they can do it. Some nice racing games dropping next year from a pretty decent 09 year.
