I have decided that my Burnout long-term goal is to beat you in a race! It's a VERY LONG-TERM goal!

Spoiler

1. Chubb Lane
2. Ross & Nelson
3. Manners & S. Rouse
4. Angus & E. Crawford

The common problem in races I find are that people tend to over complicate their route. Since there's only eight end points, there's only a few route that you have to really know by heart. From there it's just knowing how to combine them.

I won't tell you which route these are, or which ones to combine though. That's my little secret

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Somebody here needs to by me an xbox live account. I guarantee I could put fistfulofmetal in his place. I'm actually a little angry I can't do it. I was the king at BO on Xbox Live.

You'll need a PS3 to put him in his place

Don't matter man. I'll come to his house and burn him 1v1

 

[fistfulofmetal]

I only have one controller!

Your options are sliming by the minute, my friend.

 

[Everdred]

I was 98th in the World last night (360), I could be anything by now. The game is a blast online, even if your just racing. Though it seems like most people don't know where to go half the time.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

I just got 32 million on W. Lake Dr with a 30x multiplier and 300+ cars on showtime.

You're the one dodging the competition, bub. ;]

How about this - neutral location, like topeka, Kansas. We meet up at a movie theater and play on the big screen for the ultimate gold medal. you down to ride?

 

[gray_fox224]

just ordered it off Amazon. Should be here by the weekend. Looking forward to play with the DS3 implementation.

The DS3 is so damn good on this game. I like it better than on Uncharted (and i love that game) but something about seeing those crashes in slowmo and having the pad RUMBLE LIKE GOD INTENDED IT justifies the price of importing the DS3 in the first couple hours of playing.

 

[Jirotrom]

well, I've got to say... the demo was a shit representation of this game. I want to buy it now but I'm broke and will have to wait till later.

Iamthegamer tried to destroy the metal, but the metal had his way.

So you guys are positive on this game? I tried out the demo, had a bit of fun but it failed to grab me in any significant way the way Burnout 3 did.

I'm still on the fence.

I remember those days.

As do I. Until I played the full game.

Consensus among the people playing online comes down to "I cant believe the demo sucked so much ass when the game is this ridiculously awesome".
So yes, DO IT. NOW.

exactly.

Yup. It's up there with Blue Dragon for gross misrepresentation of awesomeness.

The scope and scale of awesomeness is so great that, honestly, even though the section of the demo exists in the game, it honestly feels like a completely different and inferior game.

No lie.

Alright, here's a more affordable scenario: I'm gonna be in Miami near the end of March. I'll bring the 360. You bring the PS3. We'll have a simultaneous burning route match on the same route.

The catch? WE HAVE TO SWITCH SYSTEMS

I love this.

 

[Everdred]

My opinion:

5. Burnout
4. Burnout Revenge
3. Burnout 2
2. Burnout Paradise
1. Burnout 3

Note: I did not play any of the PSP Burnouts or later PS2 Burnouts.

[SpeedingUptoStop]

if we were playing Burnout revenge, there wouldn't be a question that i'd come out on top, but since Paradise's large variety of shortcuts and alternate routes mixes things up a bit, doing this man to man is the only way to go. I'm normally not a cocky guy but Burnout is MY game. I'm like the Bill russel of Burnout.

I'LL BE THERE


YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE KIND OF HELL FIRE YOU HAVE JUST BROUGHT DOWN UPON YOURSELF

Shit be gettin' serious holmes.

:lol :lol Awesome

 

[Gary Whitta]

I haven't played for almost 24 hours and I can feel myself getting the shakes. Must... have... Burnout...

 

[Duke Togo]

I would sacrifice a goat or two for custom soundtracks in this game.

 

[calder]

To make my wife mad I turned off every song except Avril's "Girlfriend" for about a half hour yesterday. Sure it hurt me too, but it was worth it.

 

[Gary Whitta]

What's with Adam and the Ants' "Stand and Deliver" being on the soundtrack? Don't get me wrong, it's a classic and all, but it just struck me as a really random blast from the past on a soundtrack otherwise comprised entirely of contemporary music.

There's a lot of odd stuff there. Like Swervedriver. The greatest band I thought only I had ever heard of.

 

[Loudninja]

I don't know what to get, this or DMC4... *sigh*

 

[Remy]

That's funny, because today I was going through turning off some more tracks, and I realized I had never heard "Girlfriend", so I turned on the preview.

Five seconds later, from the other room: "HONEY, COULD YOU PLEASE PUT ON SOMETHING, ANYTHING, ELSE ON NOWWWW?"

Wives hate Avril, confirmed?

(Then again, I get the same reaction anytime I play Dead On Arrival on Rock Band, so...)

3. Burnout 2
2. Burnout Paradise
1. Burnout 3

The correct order, for any true Burnout Fans:

Burnout = Burnout 2 = Burnout 3 = Revenge = Dominator = Paradise

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Get both!

 

[Meier]

This was sold out today at Target much to my chagrin. I was all set to buy it after Dormer told me there was a Crash mode equivalent in this (even if it isn't as awesome apparently).

 

[Kreuzader]

I have the PS3 version; PSN id is kreuzader if anyone wants to add it - thanks! :]

I haven't played a racer seriously since F-Zero for the SNES so I suck royally right now though :/

It's forty times awesomer.

If only your friends could see the destruction ensuing while playing with them online. I'm not overly annoyed about that though.

I kinda like not seeing the chaos created by an online player in showtime, I think it's hilarious just to see the car flopping around like a fish out of water.:lol

 

[SapientWolf]

Or it would have been if you could still blow cars up.
