Downloading now. I really do enjoy the game, but for the love of god stop killing local multiplayer!!!

I do believe they tried to implement it, but said they couldn't keep the pace of the game at a brisk 60 FPS so they cut it so it wouldn't ruin the game.

 

 

Then just make a 2-player splitscreen mode at 30fps, but give us the option.

You don't think Burnout moves too fast to be at 30 fps and still play well? I'm not sure exactly how it works but wouldn't the entire Paradise City need to be duplicated on each half of the screen meaning you would be running two open worlds?

 

 

No, it doesn't.  Most (basically all non-PC) gamers can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps.  Movies are broadcasted in 24fps, but that doesn't mean they are unwatchable at high speeds.

As for how it works, Paradise city isn't all loaded at once.  Basically your car has a "bubble" around it so to speak, in which sections of the city are loaded.  Anything outside that bubble doesn't really "exist" in any form other than potential data, but the game is only loading data from limited areas at a time.
