Burnout Devs: You’re an idiot if you think you’ve maxed out a system.
Not even close to being maxed out.
Recently, Patrick Soderlund, the Senior VP of EA Games Europe stated that the XBox 360 had been maxed out, achieving all it can technically. In response to this, Burnout’s technical director Richard Parr says that any company who thinks they have “maxed out” a system isn’t really trying.
“That’s proof that you’re not the best,” he told Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry channel. “It means you’re out of ideas.”
Alex Fry, the games senior engineer, chimed in too:
“You always find new ways to do things, the constraints lift. Not just with a new console generation but with every game you do. Whether it’s a sequel or whether it’s a new game, you learn to do things differently… better. The constraints go away because you learn. While it’s nice to say you’ve maxed something out, there’s not really any point.”

Yeah, if Burnout is maxing out the 360, that’s pretty fucking weak.

No, a VP at EA Games Europe said that EA Games Europe has maxed out the 360 and that there’s no more technical improvements they can make. Burnout devs essentially responded to that with “WTF Are you stupid?” Burnout 1, EA Games Europe 0.
