Burnout Paradise: Why these Camera Angles

Techworldwide writes:

Those who play Burnout Paradise may know that there are 2 different views. There is First Person(Which places you at the front bumper), and there is Third Person(Which seems like a guy with a skateboard is tied with a rope to your rear bumper and is filming it).

lots of game devs r BAD in picking the correct camera angle lol

GUNS N SWORDS6327d ago

so............................ ......are they going to fix it or not?

Aaron Greenturd6326d ago

this absolutely needs corrected. I am constantly pressing up on the right joystick so i can see above my car.

both camera views are insufficient when you are going top speed. the faster you go, the more important it is to see whats coming up.

i will say i enjoy the realism, i.e. if you take your eyes off the road for 1 sec (to look at your map) you will most likely plow into something. but not having the option to change the camera view is really the only drawback to this amazing game.

Jinxstar6326d ago

I dunno. I unlocked my platinum cars with the camera angles without much problem... Worked fine for me... Why is this news now? I mean the game is what? a year old... and camera angles... with a link I can't connect too... lame. Reported as such.

kwicksandz6326d ago

Kinda have to agree. the outside car view is unusable cause the car takes up most of your screen! works well on the bikes tho

BrianC62346326d ago

"I dunno. I unlocked my platinum cars with the camera angles without much problem..."

It doesn't keep you from playing the game but from day one this has been my one problem with Burnout Paradise. Sometimes I come up on traffic and the camera angle makes it hard to see and it messes me up. The camera seems to low. I wish we could ajust it to where it works best for us or at least give five or six options.

Jinxstar6326d ago

My comment basically was saying it never was an issue for me. I never would have complained about the camera... Last thing I would and none of my friends who have played we're ever like "God this camera is horrid. How can you play" which from the comments here and whatever this broken article(Blog) is saying is that it breaks the game... I can't even recall a single review where they said the camera was "Idiotic" or"Broken"... Thats all I'm saying. I feel like you guys are making a big deal is all...

please,I want the classic burnout controls

nothing is more satefying than accelerating with X and boost with R1

R2 button just don't make it for me

please criterion

MaximusPrime6326d ago

im fine with the control. it would be nice if they can make an option available.

Ghoul6326d ago (Edited 6326d ago )

"R2 button just don't make it for me "

exactly and most people like it as it is so i guess we have a interest conflict on these kinda things in gaming wich will most likly allways end the way that each dev decideds wich controlls work best

OR

Finally add the same depth of key configuration like in pc games.

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.

SullysCigar1095d ago

I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.

On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.

NJShadow1095d ago

I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.

EazyC1095d ago

I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.

I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.

BrainSyphoned1095d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL1095d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander19711095d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1744d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381744d ago (Edited 1744d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381744d ago (Edited 1744d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1745d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381744d ago

That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.

Chocoburger1744d ago

I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.

After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.

Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.

ChasterMies1744d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1744d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol
