Korosuke6131d ago

Why did you get disagrees with your comment...
I know you're a troller but your comment is decent.
It is sad some sony kids doing that...

Bolts6131d ago

LMAO even people who post under his thread get disagrees, this guy is like some kind of black hole for bubbles regardless of the subject.

eLiNeS6131d ago (Edited 6131d ago )

They want it, but it has been DELAYED!!! Remember it's not called the DELAYSTATION 3 for nothing!!!

Hit the Agree if you Agree!

Hit the Disagree if you're jealous!!!

@rofldings
you get what you pay for!!!

Korosuke6131d ago (Edited 6131d ago )

Sometimes this agree/disagree function is hilarious and totally useless.
It becomes kinda popularity vote of the users instead of judging the subjects of the comments.

rofldings6131d ago

The only ones who will not be playing it today are:

xbox live silver members.

that is all.

Korosuke6131d ago

In my place, tomorrow comes in three hours... :(

athlon7706130d ago

the PS3 and my sons 360 (since mine has yet to make its return). I guess that is one nice thing about the free service of Sony. They do not seggragate users from silver or gold. Of course you still have the USA - UK - EU differences, oh well. I am still at work till 7:30pm cst and left for work this morning with it downloading on the 360. Once I get home, I will start the download on the PS3 and play the 360 version!

Im wondering what time it will be out on the PSN, does anybody know ? Its 3:25 a.m. here at the Rockies and I got five and a half hours till work.

Edit: WTF ! Why did I get a disagree ?

predator6131d ago

2 things ur up late and it should be out, its out here in the UK on Live and PSN

Zhuk6131d ago

It should be out with the weekly PSN update, which is sometime on Thursday in the US. I don't know what time it will be, but rest assured it will be soon!

TeaDouble_E6131d ago (Edited 6131d ago )

I checked but its still not up : (

Edit: @ Mark1

It seems you don't have any originality, try to use your sloth brain next time and think of a better insult lol.

sonarus6131d ago

probably won't be up for another 10hrs. zhuk tell me ur impressions once you get it.

Zhuk6131d ago

I will be writing impressions on the forums, but honestly at the speeds of the Aussie broadband I am on it'll be a few hours till I finish downloading it

Chaos Striker6131d ago

And your comment is called stupidity at its finest. Congratulations.

Korosuke6131d ago

@TeaDouble_E
I think US PS store weekly update is usually at around 12PM PST.

Finished @ - 3:24 Wow, that was quick!!!

Now playing - It's pretty cool. What's funny is the billboards everywhere, especially the CompUSA ones, aren't they going out of business? I know they shutdown a bunch of there stores but I think they went completely under. Wounder what they paid to have that in the game?

OK, done for the night. I smashed enough for one night I think and even Won a race. It's a really cool demo! The area is small that you get to demo compared to the rest of the game but it looks to be a winner on the Xbox 360. Go down it when you get the chance, if you even can. ;-)

Hit the Agree if you are able to down it!

Hit the Disagree if you're jealous!!!

sonarus6131d ago

hit the agree if ur able to dwnload? are you seekin popularity online or sumthin can't you jst give us impressions without childish antics?

eLiNeS6131d ago

that deserves no disagree's whatsoever from either side isn't childish as well??? So go ahead, make my day! I dare you!!!

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.

SullysCigar505d ago

I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.

On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.

NJShadow505d ago

I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.

EazyC505d ago

I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.

I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.

BrainSyphoned505d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL505d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander1971505d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

waverider1155d ago

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1155d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1155d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381154d ago

That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.

Chocoburger1155d ago

I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.

After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.

Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.

ChasterMies1155d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1154d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol

Its long long overdue but the problem is its just not a big money spinner. Thats why EA ditched it. Alex Ward has gone his own way with Three Fields Entertainment & made Dangerous Driving but its very low budget.

LucasRuinedChildhood1283d ago

Each game gets closer and closer to being good. It's kind of painful how close they are. haha. I hope Dangerous Driving 2 being open world isn't too ambitious for them and it's a polished, fun 7.5-8/10.

roadkillers1283d ago

Maybe not, but if a quality title in the reigns released now days...People do pay more attention to reviews comparitively

BrainSyphoned1283d ago

Burnout with real life car mechanic costs sounds about right if you want EA to go for it.

isarai1283d ago

Here's the thing, EA is sitting on so many great IPs i would like to return, but at the same thing i feel like modern EA would find a way to ruin it. Besides Respawn, EA hasn't dropped anything good for almost 2 generations IMO.

LucasRuinedChildhood1283d ago

"almost 2 generations" What? Are you talking about the PS3 and the 360?

I agree with the general sentiment that their catalogue of games since the PS4/XB1 has been comparatively terrible to what they used to do though.

andy851283d ago

Absolutely loved these games back in the day. Paradise was good too but didn't quite have the feel of the old games
