Burnout Revenge 360

[Hartley Hare]

Sunday night Hartley?

Try and get on 9ish mate.

My two cents

Load times are exactly the same as the Xbox version, maybe a tad quicker by about a second.
Graphics, paint chips excluded, look the same as the old Xbox version. Oh well!
A tiny border around the game, tiny as it a few mm, nowhere near 1cm.
Its good online. Would like to know when the game is about to start though. Sometimes just sitting there waiting for more people to join WITHOUT ready marked and then BAM! you into a 5 part race with one other racer! Dull

Like a few other people in this thread I deliberately avoided the Xbox version in anticipation of this version.

Visually it's not a massive leap over the Xbox version but I'm appreciating the higher res textures, improved motion blur and the slight increase in detail. Plus then there's the achievement aspect and the small gameplay tweaks (removal of the golf swing meter, etc.) which make it an all round better experience.

put a few hours in on this and its a massive disappointment.

I can't work out at the moment if they've spoilt Burnout or if other things feel better now. Hard to pinpoint what is wrong with this, as people have said the graphics are only slightly better than last gen versions. I have a feeling that I just don't like the direction of the current version of Burnout.

at the moment if i had to choose between this and full auto I'd be keeping the latter, which i enjoy far more.

Well it had to happen merf make it darker and grittier to appeal to the cool kids... but its not all bad, maybe now theyve hadtheir money they will include the older games in the next compatability update

Gotta say the online I'm really enjoying - the single player only problem I have is the AI is too aggressive which means it's really hard to take them down sometimes. Should be a good thing but it's not.

Lazy arse port imo.
Is it really worth spending another 50 squid on a game I got last year?
Save ya dosh and get summat else!

I never played the original version of this....but im really loving the 360 game. Probably more so that GRAW and Fight Night tbh......ive pefected the first 3 levels and the 4th is a bitch to do lol, god knows how hard the later levels will be.

I'm really enjoying it, and since I never bought the Xbox/PS2 version it was worth picking up for me. The graphics look great in HD for what is essentially a port, but it's still lacking polish here and there. Oh well...

The thing that's really annoying me with it though is a bug in XBL multiplayer. For some reason when playing with friends at least one person each game will connect and then immediately get booted for connection problems. It usually takes half a dozen attempts before they can stay in the game, and it happens persistently with different people and different hosts. Anyone else seen this?

The Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge is not that bad.

The problem we have here is this.

The Xbox version of Burnout Revenge was an astounding game and was pretty stunning for the original Xbox.

MS were too tight to get the 360 staff to sort out an emu to get the normal Xbox Burnout Revenge working on the 360. So what with all this crap going on, EA decided to rinse the public another 50 quid to play a game that most people will have already got.

Lets be honest, they coulda released this on day of launch and it wouldn't have been so bad but to release a near like for like game 6 months after the original Xbox Burnout Revenge was released is quite frankly taking the piss.

not bought a burnout game since 2 (as 3 was pish) and this is a lovely surprise... thought i was gonna hate it but after playing a few rounds online i have much love for this game.

some of the effects are unneccessary, distracting and even off-putting (option to turn some off would be lovely) but other little features make me ignore them. i'm sure fallows, gibbon and greg were annoyed at my constant '****ing hell!', 'what the hell happened there?' and other assorted comments of amazement...

i think my favourite bit is when you launch the car into the air and all sound drops out aside from the wind noise.

and i've not noticed any slowdown at all...

Not at all, Burnout revenge was announced at the same time as the other versions and has been down for a march release for about 6 months.
I wanted to get the 360 version but was unable to resist the xbox one. I'm still thinking of the 360 now

Having missed the Xbox and PS2 version and having previously played BO2, BO2 and Legends I'm finding this very good.

HD really makes a big difference. Every little detail is shown and you can see much better what's coming your way. The controls are noticeably more precise than in BO3 and the sense of speed is amazing. Compared to BO3 the battling with other cars is much better. They are aggressive and can't be simply pushed to a wall for a takedown.

The only thing I can criticize is the extreme contrast in some places. The dark parts of some tracks don't have much visibility when the room is lit during the day. Only in a few places did it really become troublesome and it was ok when playing in the evening.

Haven't tried Live yet.

Its enjoyable enough but everytime Im playing it theres a big part of me that wishes they'd go back to Burnout 2. Make me earn the boost, get rid of being able to smash into oncoming traffic and cut down on all the clutter please.

I had the same feeling with BO3. (without of course the traffic checking part) Revenge is a very different game to BO2. I however feel that Revenge manages to get right what BO3 set out to do and as such is very good in its own way.

What I have missed after BO2 is the simpler crash mode. It is good at the moment but it's also too hard for a party game. In BO2 anybody could play it properly without practice.
