Oh no, games like Burnout are terrible on PC, at least without a steering wheel!

I prefer using a normal controller most of the time. Steering wheels are too bulky.

OT: This is great news to me. Burnout Paradise was one of the PS360 games I wanted, and now it's coming on a superior version on the PC. Long life to the PC!



I'm surprised that EA hasn't done this before.



Yes!, kind of good timing because i was just going to buy it for the PS3 :P

As opposed to consoles without a steering wheel? A $20 gamepad works fine.  I used to laugh at those that assumed a keyboard and mouse are the only options for PC gaming.  Now I'm just sad because apparently nobody is aware of the controller options.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

That's awesome, I bought it on the PS3, and I love it, but I may have to re-buy it on the PC if it's a good port.

Not everybody is of the same ilk, I myself have my KB/M for shooters and such and my 360 pad for most other things.



I figured that was the link I saw on amazon was for since it had no platform listed and the console versions are already out. Maybe that Doom 4 link is for pc as well.
