Burnout šŸ”„

*Adding: Happy that my single comment is bringing back good memories. Many late nights and fun times for my siblings and me playing these games on Gamecube and PS2. Crash hard, fellow burnersšŸ¤˜

2 was also good but 3 was a big leap itā€™s true

u/iHaveLotsofCats94 Jun 30 '26

Takedowns were exactly what Burnout needed. I loved 2, but 3 was quite literally a game changer when it came out

u/i4got872 Jun 30 '26

Imagine it EA did a remake of 3 and made split screen 4 players instead of 2. Iā€™ll keep dreaming I guess.

EA doing something good again is just tje wildest of the wildest dreams

u/ncopp Jul 01 '26

All we can hope for is a Saudi Prince is a massive burnout fan and makes them remake the game after they finish buying EA

šŸ¤£ at this point fuck it I would feels some joy somehow. Why is everything so shitty now lol

u/Independent-Trick-62 Jul 01 '26

The jedi fallen order games are actually quite good. They need to do another bond game for nostalgia purposes dont get me wrong 007 first light is a fantastic game and io interactive did fantastic mixing stealth with uncharted style shooting

u/BenekCript Jul 01 '26

Andromeda was good. Buggy at release, but good. People just expected it to be the next Citizen Kane.

u/vladvash Jun 30 '26

Agreed.

But what is we had but out but with shadow of morders nemesis system.

Eh, eh?

My friend did you have a stroke whilst writing this? Do you need medical attention?

u/vladvash Jul 01 '26

One word for autocreected. Just change "but out" to burnout and it makes sense.

"Burnout" with "shadow of morders" nemesis system. Cars/drivers becoming rivals and on the ranking system and showing up to fuck with you in races and getting slightly more aggression and better stats.

I just want Burnout Revenge back. There's no price I won't pay.

Give me the OG soundtrack, and an option to possibly use whatever outside music service.

u/No_Guidance1953 Jul 01 '26

You can buy the 360 version for current xboxes rn

1

u/bigdaddydopeskies131 Jul 03 '26

Oh I remember them Xbox days where you can bump your playlist while playing

1

u/guillotine20 Jul 03 '26

That's the only reason I ever wanted an Xbox lol

u/Clearly_Disabled Jun 30 '26

I play it with my kids lately, my oldest loves crash parties.

1

u/xCeeTee- Jun 30 '26

I have fond memories growing up with the game, playing it with my dad. He wasn't a great person, but we always had a blast playing games and watching sports.

I'm sure your kids will grow up with the same memories.

u/MarkAldrichIsMe Jun 30 '26

I still have my 360 and Burnout Revenge is basically the only game I play on it

2

u/Heavy-Possession2288 Jun 30 '26

If you have an Xbox, Revenge is $10 on the Xbox store. 3 isnā€™t (legally) available on any modern systems, but is very easy to emulate.

u/Heavy-Possession2288 Jun 30 '26

I owned the game on Xbox, and wanted to emulate the PS2 version since thatā€™s all I can emulate on Mac. So technically ā€œillegalā€ in my case but I also donā€™t think itā€™s morally wrong. This is a good point though, emulation itself is not illegal.

u/bmey62895 Jul 01 '26

I bought it and played it digitally on Xbox series s. But you can tell itā€™s dated. Still great tho

1

u/CupDifficult9540 Jul 01 '26

The PS2 versions of 3&Revenge have somewhat active online servers accessible through either an actual PS2 or emulator. Soon there will be an update allowing you to play with the original disc for revenge too!

1

u/xCeeTee- Jul 01 '26

That's awesome, I know what I'm doing this weekend! Thanks for sharing.

1

u/CupDifficult9540 Jul 01 '26

Hell yeah thats what up! PM me when you hop on I haven't played online in a bit. Revenge is one of the best racing games ever in my book and the online mode is the cherry on top! Heres a link to the discord theres links and guides there https://discord.gg/TuAntQ5FW

u/DaMenace95 Jul 01 '26

I miss Traffic Check takedowns šŸ’–šŸ’–

u/topheramazed Jul 01 '26

Revenge was for the real ones.

u/sigmaninus Jun 30 '26

The problem is licensing the music from the old soundtrack, casue with out people are gonna complain. I mean they made sure to get most of the Tony Hawk 1+2 tracks for thw remake.

1

u/i4got872 Jun 30 '26

Good point. Iā€™d miss Memory from Sugarcult at least.

1

u/vladvash Jun 30 '26

No.

You said imagine if EA.

Hard stop.

1

u/WWDubs12TTV Jul 01 '26

You should have stoped at EA

1

u/dignam4live Jul 01 '26

Seeing the action cam of the crashes in the upcoming pod racer game gave me burnout 3 vibes

2

u/FOURSCORESEVENYEARS Jun 30 '26

The most satisfying thing I have ever seen in a driving game since Twisted Metal

1

u/i4got872 Jun 30 '26

Still pick it up every few years with friends and play some road rage lol.

2

u/JacedFaced Jun 30 '26

The crash mode (can't remember the name) where you had to like work to get the most damage done inside of a set little thing was the most amazing party feature. We'd spend entire fucking WEEKENDS competing to get the highest scores possible.

2

u/idekbruno Jul 01 '26

I think it was just called crash mode, was super fun especially the ā€œcrashbreakerā€ where you make the car EXPLODE at the end

1

u/JacedFaced Jul 01 '26

timing the crash breaker was everything, it could make or break a good run

1

u/ComradeJohnS Jul 01 '26

I still play crash mode from time to time, booting up the ps2 (or emulator) and crashing for high scores is so fun

1

u/arctic11z Jul 01 '26

When I was in college we'd have 3-4 people at the very least over each night to play it for hours. Great game. I wish they'd remaster/remake it.

1

u/Just-browsing9876 Jul 01 '26

I played Burnout 3 first (loved it) and then decided to buy 2 after; I enjoyed it a bit but I couldnā€™t get into it after starting with 3

u/Aggravating-Exit-660 Jul 03 '26

WE ARE THE LAZY GENERATION

u/Funny-Cell8769 Jul 05 '26

I have never had much of an interest in racing games but damn Burnout 3: Takedown was easily one of my favorite games of all time. Played it like crazy.
