Full free trial for Burnout Paradise PC port

The folks at Criterion Games have been working on their first ever PC port of one of their Burnout racing games and this week on their official web site they revealed a very interesting plan for the PC version of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. Simply put, PC owners will be able to play the full game..for free.

Yep, Criterion Games will allow anyone to play the full version of Burnout Paradise for free "...for a limited period." There's no word on how much time will be allocated for the free trial but Criterion and publisher Electronic Arts plans to distribute the free trial both online and via disk in February. Once the limited trial period ends, people can upgrade to the full paid version via an in-game store. Criterion has also release new screenshots from the PC version including an image of their in-game store interface.

That is wickedly AWESOME!Posted at 12:14PM on Dec 7th 2008 by Hashbrown Hunter

I've already played the 360 version to death, but I'll probably look at this just to experience the better graphics and sound.Posted at 12:18PM on Dec 7th 2008 by Clint Eastwood

A free trial would be nice - if I could trust EA not to burden my PC with SecuROM...Posted at 12:56PM on Dec 7th 2008 by paralipsis

Shareware is back! This is a great idea. But I don't think I will be buying the game a second time, got my fill with the 360 version.Posted at 1:02PM on Dec 7th 2008 by Biggie

EA has such conflicting policies... Awesome ones like this, then terrible ones like SecuROM. I'll definitely download it if it's securom free. Posted at 2:19PM on Dec 7th 2008 by Reader

I wish more companies would do this. It would sure help prevent piracy if people could try out the game to see whether or not they like it before they go out and buy it.Posted at 9:16PM on Dec 7th 2008 by Einhanderkiller

As a PC gamer with NO 360... I do want. I suppose it's a ruse to get you to buy it, and it'll probably work.Posted at 10:05AM on Dec 8th 2008 by ZaxCG2

Yeah, I cannot wait for this!Posted at 2:53PM on Dec 8th 2008 by Nerdman

I agree. That would solve a large amount of Piracy.People want to know what they get for their money, just like the Xbox etc, with playable demos in stores.Posted at 4:37AM on Dec 14th 2008 by Edward Helmer
