Burnout Games - Rev'n and Crashing, an insurance company worst nightmare.

[BetterFuckChuck]

Burnout 1 and Revenge were classics. Why EA had to ruin it with Paradise with their open world?

because take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Used to play burnout 2 all the time with my friends whenever we used to go to the internet cafe. Those were the days...

picking anything but burnout 3: takedown is a fag certificate.
jokes aside i'm still mad about criterion being forced into making NFS then dismantled because they did something they were not used to and it tanked hard.

Just imagine the amount of whining and complaining there'd be if they released a present-day Burnout game where you're incentivised to crash. Only takes one dumb review tweet to go viral and it'd shut the game down.

I hope the series stays dead as much as I would love another. You know a modern burnout game would have all that battle pass and daily login/goal shit tacked onto it to get any decent cars. I can also see them making a bunch of car parts like engines, wheels, steering wheels, windshield wipers or whatever the fuck as rewards with stats and rarities to make you want to buy battlepass or grind until the game isnt fun since it lacks meaningful progression and all the nice looking cosmetics are hidden behind yet another paywall.

A rerelease would be nice though. I can't enjoy paradise very much and I can only enjoy 3 and revenge for as long as my 360 lasts, unless I wanna sail the seven seas.

What is the best way to play Revenge right now anyways?

It'd pretty much be a replica of what the Asphalt games are like. Login bonuses, micro-transactions and terrible UI interface to force you to upgrade to do well. I don't remember the last racing game I played where they didn't hide car parts behind pay-to-win schemes.

Probably emulation. I've got it on my Steam Deck which runs great on PCSX2.

Nice to have a place to post this.

Shoutout to my dad for putting me onto good games young.

I've played a few minutes of Burnout: Paradise. Its open world is so barren and lifeless. Burnout did not need an open world at all.

You just end up taking the same roads over and over again. I don't mind it as a podcast game though.

Burnout did not need an open world at all.

As mentioned in this WoodysGamertag interview with one of the devs, Criterion wanted to stop after Takedown because they felt like it was the best they could do, but EA insisted they make more. This was to the point that they started calling Revenge "Churnout". So you could 100% blame EA for the franchises slow descent.

That being said, even though they didn't want to make it, its pretty impressive that Revenge is really fucking good (Sadly they were right about Takedown being the best they could do)

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO BURNOUT 3!

[The Last Stand]

I remember the first Burnout being a racing title first. Did it have a game mode where you were encouraged to make spectacular crashes? Or was that only for the third entry?

First introduced in 2, peaked at 3, became a event in every game since.

Revenge finally emulates like a fucking dream on Xenia emulator. Everyone needs to get on this shit again.
And a big W to Legends on PSP for a being hilarious bad physics version of Burnout 3 that is maybe more fun than the original. Shunting cars into the fucking grey video game void never gets old
I love these fucking games and their soundtracks.

meanwhile in the 2000s...

ive played SO MUCH of revenge on my xbox 360
i really loved the x360 exclusive car, it looked so clean


some dude on reddit even recreated it in blender and 3d printed it

 

[Xenomorphs Are Cute]

Just posting these here.

Honestly, works of fucking art. The fact that cancelled sounds from a racist game had better sound design than some horror games out there is hilarious to me.
