I've never actually played a Burnout title before. First time for everything, I suppose...

I don't think it matters as long as its Burnout Revenge..I played ICO via PS3 remastered

 

[LostRifleMan]

Also, I recommend the US version since it runs @60fps instead of the EU that's stuck at 50 due to the Monitor standard from back in the day

This is true. As long as people play the same game, we don't control which version they use, even if it's off-repo.

Isn't Revenge a completely different game?

Anyway I'll be playing the OG Xbox version like I said before, however if you guys somehow manage to get the online working I'll gladly install PCSX2 to join in.

Also, technically, Season 2 started with Minish Cap.

 

[Vardalis]

Might give this a go. I haven't played a racing game in a while but I remember really liking the game back in the day. Especially the takedown mechanics. Can't forget this banger either.

Ah shit. I beaten 3 last year fufufu

 

[diapered]

Alright sounds fun: first racing game for nostalgia society ^_^ Although now y'all are getting me in trouble, I'll be drinking as usual, so technically I will be drunk driving >_<

And I do have nostalgia for this one: I'm not generally a racing game fan, but I did like this one.

I want to see you end like this

 

[diapered]

I want to see you end like this

lol probably, and a bunch of bottles of jack will fly everywhere I like how crashing is part of the game and since I am already pretty bad at racing games that is probably why I remember liking it >_< I hope it is as forgiving as I remember because I have played some racing games and they demand lots of precision and focus

Later races are precisely like this since you will unlock access to faster cars and you may crash at high speeds.

I've been playing burnout since last week and just unlocked the super class today. It's legend on psp though instead of burnout 3 takedown.

Sick, here we go!

I've only ever played Burnout Revenge, which was awesome. Glad to have a reason to play more from the series.

A brief browse of the OST earlier at work shows me that The Exploision - Here I Am is on here! And MCR's I'm Not Okay! I friggin' love those tracks mayne

These guys must've been in hot demand (or the price was right) 'cos I remember first hearing this on THUG 2. And one of MCR's deep cuts was later included on American Wasteland. Absolute scenes xD

Anyway, here's some new Userbars for anyone interested in collecting them!

See you under my wheels (once I beat Minish Cap)

[ArchienineZXAdventArchienineZXAdvent's icon]

Wait, the K-Pop warriors went to car crashes at high speeds?

 

[bratish]

the kid whispering "challenge everything" in my ear during the ea opening scared the hell out of me

 

[Majora Fi]

[Velocista]

I'm going to play it tomorrow (if the download doesn't take too long).

This song is still relevant to this day. And it's featured in the game
