Please, please, please.
Isn't this the exact same thing what happend with Burnout 2? I bought it for 72$ and I want a sequel.

Argh, if a GCN version of Burnout 3 is coming, then I hope they announce it before the PS2 version comes out, so I can wait for the GCN version. But they won't, and people like me will buy the PS2 version, and then later they'll wonder why the GCN version didn't sell very well, then they'll drop more GCN support... or not. =P
This isn't cool.

Never have I seen so much longing for what clearly will be the worst version of the game (if it's ever made, that is)
Yup.. and besides, and this is debatable, the crash mode is what the game is all about... and that's easily as enjoyable as the online mode. The only difference is that you're playing the crash mode with strangers/friends over the internet or you're playing the crash mode with friends in real life... I really don't see how it loses much when you look at it that way.

With BO2, it was more like Xbox > GC = PS2 (unless you think couple more crash levels equals to >>>). Throw in an obvious lack of online mode for BO3, and you get the idea.
That IS *very* debatable. Crash mode was definitely a cool addition in BO2, but it was an *addition* to the series.Mashing said:
In any case, best of luck to the GC in getting a version of this. Criterion is one studio that goes the extra mile when porting a game. Online or not, I'd hate to miss this game.
I would be nice of them to make some kind of announcement. Multiplatform gamers might want to make a more informed decision rather than breakdown and buy a version they might not want in the end (this is assuming that a late port might sport more original content in lieu of an online option).

Playing a game on a quarter of the TV sceen is never too great, but really, so what if offline multiplayer can be beter? It's not like Xbox and PS2 version will lack the ability to have offline multiplayer matches in addition to online modes. Also, good luck getting eight player races running offline.
Yeah, Marco is correct about BO2...
I can't even begin to imagine why BO2 GC is >>> than the PS2 version. They LOOK the same and have most of the same features (very minor additions were made to the GC version). The XBOX version, on the other hand, recieved improved visuals, custom soundtracks, and more. Still nothing massive, but enough to place it ahead of the other two.

It's more than convenience for some of us: it's a necessity if I want to play multiplayer. I don't have any game playing friends who live nearby and I keep different hours anyway, so being able to go online and find opponents across time zones is a boon if I want the multiplayer experience.Mashing said:

Just to let you know... Burnout 2 (GC) has all the extra crash mode levels just the Xbox version has and does look slightly better then the ps2 version. So, in essence it is better then the ps2 version... Xbox version is still best though. (graphics + custom soundtracks)
For crash mode extras alone the GC version>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ps2 version.

It doesn't look any better, though. No graphical additions were made to the GC version and both versions run at 480p (so image quality can't come into play here). I think some people say "slightly better" just because it is a more powerful machine and they ASSUME it is. In this case, that's just not true.
Crash mode seemed to be the only true enhancement. The IGN head-to-head even suggests that the PS2 version looks slightly better with bloom lighting and reflections being less dull.
I could less about all the stuff in the end, they all looked largely comparable and I doubt that there would be much of change in the latest game. I'd just like to which platforms the game is really going come out on, and I'd like to know what kind of content will be provided.

crash mode alone makes the game a better buy.
Anyway, according to IGN, the game controls better on the cube, and has an additional 15 crash modes. Graphically though your probably right (my tv is much better then my brothers, who has the ps2 version), they're pretty much the same.

If GameCube really is getting a port of the game, and Criterion really is behind it, maybe they will flesh out the single player mode a bit to balance it out, especially since (if I'm not mistaken, but I'll gladly retract this if I am) the other games in the series did pretty well for third-party GC games.BeOnEdge said:

When I was at E3 I tried coercing a developer into not releasing BO3 for GC.

this is another game that falls into what i'll call the pandora category since SCPT was the first game where online play was like 1/2 the fun of the game. BO3 will suffer the same fate wether it be ending up not being released or wether it being GC fans paying full price for 1/2 the game. why? why pay for 1/2 the game just to be loyal to your gamecube?

That is the shittiest excuse ever. I can get along just fine without playing BurnOut 3 online. As a matter of fact, I really don't give a rats ass about racing online even if it was included. Just give me the fucking single player game damn it!!! >:|
Well, it goes without saying that if you have another console, the GC version of Burnout 3 probably isn't for you. I was just speculating that perhaps Criterion, having a history of well-done ports, would throw GC-only owners a bone by beefing up the port a bit (assuming they are behind it and it's even being done).BeOnEdge said:

Well they should have heard about LAN which ends up giving players a chance to play it online, like TS3 there's really no excuse for not doing it.

So if that's the reason, then whats the excuse for no GC version of Black? Is this a very centric online game too?

Oh just buy the PS2 or Xbox versions you fucking babies. It won't kill you.
Bluemercury said:
how many GC broadband adapters have been sold? how many of those are even being used? why waste time adding LAN play when theres a "chance" that no one will use it? As far as "beefing up" a possible GC version, Its possible and would be cool for GC only gamers but what could you add to make up for the lack on an online component? a nintendo sponsered street racer?

The german Cube is like Sp*ng. A friend of mine has the issue and says, there's no confirmation from EA in the mag. The chief-editor only thinks in his editorial on page 3 that EA may release it. But no confirmation, no word from EA, no preview, nothing.

Does that really matter?i can ask you how many people will play it online on ps2 and xbox, because i bet with you that there wont be that many.......going by their excuse for not making a GC version because its made with online in mind then those pple who dont have online adaptors at home wont play it?its just an excuse......

Agreed. A fucking lame ass excuse too. What's the problem with having the whole game in single player mode? How am I missing a large piece of the game if I don't race people online?!! LAME.
