Burnout Crash hits home in August, was once a Wii game [update: now '2011']

by JC Fletcher on Jul 12th 2011 9:55AM

Burnout Crash! will bring its top-down pileups, Kinect collisions and titular exclamation point to PSN and XBLA in August, according to an announcement on EA's UK news site. EA originally announced the downloadable auto pinball title as a "fall" release.

Another revelation about Crash! was provided by Criterion creative director Alex Ward at EA's summer showcase. Ward told Giant Bomb that the project started on Wii before it became Crash!. "It was a user-created game where you drew a road with the wand, and we thought, if we made Crash Mode, you could make it all yourself." Criterion worked on that until discovering that it was "quite boring."

Update: The announcement on EA's site has replaced all references to "August" (and the one out-of-place reference to "Winter") to just "2011."

@Teancum

Wow that looks terrible.

@Teancum

I think it is a Kinect game because it is telling you to jump to explode. Wow this might the worse game of the year.

Looks ok i suppose, but what I really want is a Burnout Paradise sequel of some sorts

@DoogalUK
When I heard Disney ousted BlackRock Studios, I hoped EA or even SEGA would publish/support them after their amazing work on SPLIT/SECOND...
...thus far, no such luck. :\

lol looks almost exactly like the Burnout Mobile game about 2-3 years ago :P i think ill pass.

Yes, this is what we need. News about games that won't come to Wii (specially now that it looks like it's a rule).

:(

So it started as a Wii game, and is not coming to Wii? That makes no sense.

I was interested in this till I saw it in action in a video a few days ago. Just seemed, well kinda lame. I dont know what it was, but just didnt like it. Looked and played like it was an iphone game.

Not sure why they couldn't do Paradise graphics and physics but in this top down mode.

I like Burnout, but this game looks mediocre.

I wonder when their next REAL burnout game is going to come out.

has potential

I believe they still could given away free with the next NFS as a code to download it.

Well naturally they felt this game was too hardcore to sell well on the Wii.

I mean, isn't that the knee-jerk reaction we're supposed to have? =P

Otherwise, total non-story.

I was interested in this game when the copyright filing came out, but that's about it. The screenshots LOOKED like a Wiiware game, and I said so. Guess I was right.

I will enjoy the miner inconveniences when I buy this game!

This sites comment system is absolute shit sometimes

This game sounds promising, hope they can keep it fresh from room to room.

Slow Tuesday.

"Draw the road with your wand..."

That sounds pretty cool. Racing games definitely benefit from user-created content (look at TrackMania and ModNation Racers).

"started on Wii before it became Crash!" No surprise there.

You name it after a gameplay mode we haven't seen done well in the series in seven years, you make it a downloadable title, and you tell us that it's shovel-ware which was originally going to be on the Wii, a dying and technologically incapable system.

And people wonder why EA is tanking and they're throwing all their weight behind social networking and casual games. Smh.

This game could be interesting judging from the picture. Reminds me of the very first GTA game

Remove the Burnout name from it.
Please.
