What the devil is a 'hot-seat style of gameplay'?

Switch controller between players
1 controller - 8 players

That is.. Really pathetic.

Considering the lack of local multiplayer, anyone who wants to play this with friends (Locally) is already going to be doing this, surely?

Theres a video on criterions site showing them doing it for Halloween

Yeh sure it sounds pretty pathetic but I remember playing Grand Prix 3 at uni with 3 of us all tanked up trying hot seat 2 laps each and it was great fun!!!

Presumably the party game thingy is more like the original Burnout games Crash mode? I can't imagine swapping controllers as you're driving around the city...

They should have split screen 2 player on PC like need for speed 2 did! That was great fun, I don't know why games stopped doing it

burnout for pc? AWESOME!!!!

i still havent got this game and I really want to. Now its on the PSN as a full download, so I may get it that way.

Will the pc version be like the initial console version or the get the extra content as well?
Why hotseat as multiplayer? from my limited knowledge about consoles they all allow connecting more than one controller at once, so it shoudnt really be a problem to have more than person playing at once.

because having an update for hotseating, I assume is no where near as complicated/time consuming as making an update for split screen multiplayer.
