Excellent. :) I went with Legends over Revenge because I knew this was coming, and I'm glad it's not just a weak port like some of the other multiplatform 360 titles.
oh my god, I litteraly got a semi while looking at those pics.
the graphics are gorgous, but the problme is seems like the Burnout series is turning into rehash! they all play the same, it's fun for 20 mins, then it all crumbles and becomes more of the same over and over!
anyways, looks good, but i aint buyin' it.
wow, light bloom......shoddy mud textures and overly shiny cars. the next gen is here.
Have you ever played a Burnout game? They all look fantastic.Quote:

You're looking at a single still frame of a game that flies at 60FPS. Even if you blink, you'll still have stared at it longer than you'd ever see it in a game.Quote:

There are jagged edges in those screenshots e.g. shot 3 on the frame between windscreen and side-window. Next-Gen is looking a lot like This-Gen 1.5. I can appreciate the higher resolutions and all, and I'm sure it looks nice if you want to invest a couple of thousand in a new TV that could well break within 3 years, but I don't really like the look of it. It's still Burnout and it still controls, and will no doubt feel, the same.

The game moves so bloody fast that half the shit you were stupidly bitching about wouldn't even be noticable since you're pretty much focused on looking for shortcuts and not slamming into walls and oncoming traffic.
The only complaint I have about Revenge is the light-in-the-ass feeling all the racing cars have compared to the ones in Takedown.
Takedown has NOTHING on Revenge. The track design alone in Revenge destroys Takedown.
You have no idea how happy you made me by letting me know in advance I'll never see you online with this.Quote:

Revenge's racing mode, the cars feel like paperweights. Fast as hell and manuverable sure, but if you blow on them they go flying.
That's fine, because I want to see shit flying everywhere when I wreck.
i owned both 2 and 3. i see nothing so far that gets me excited. im entitled to my opinion right? oh wait, this is TnL where i say one bad thing about one of the boards beloved franchises and we get the slander replies.Quote:

I love Burnout.
Apparently no one is allowed to say anything bad about you, either.Quote:

I don't care how smooth it is for you broke ass VHS watching niggas. I've had a HDTV for four years.
The HDTV is really all that's left for me to get. I've got the surround sound, and I've got all the other systems...
Gotta go HDTV sometime. The TV broadcasting switch is just a few years away and if you think your gonna wanna rock a PS3 on your old tv, you'll be sadly mistaken. 360 is just the start.
And you need to be shoved down a flight of stairs if your so god damn anal that you pick out "jaggies" in a still screen shot. Something you'd never see or would effect you when you actually play the game.
Still... Those screen shots do look like any old Xbox screen shot. All of the 360 shots have. I still don't get what this system does aside from the resolution bump.Quote:

Those car damage shots... damn. Great work, Criterion. Now if they make this a "best of" Burnout for consoles, it'll be a must-buy over the existing Xbox version.

He looks really excited.
That's becuase he just got a headshot.
It looks like he should be saying YES!
Yeah, because he just no-scoped some n00b.
I don't think so. He doesn't look like he's saying pwnt, or owned, or anything like that.
Maybe his team mate just capped the flag?
In his pants?
I totally disagree, I thought it was the other way around, Takedown took a helluva lot more skill, swerving to avoid oncoming traffic. Having the ability to plow through traffic totally eliminated the original formula of the games at times.Quote:

ON TOPIC: Burnout 2 had the best crash mode of all the games. I hate having to grab powerups, and I hate earning Gold the first try. In B2 you had to figure out how to hit the highest number of cars to get the multipliers.
The lens flare craze was the first thing that came to mind with the bloom lighting bitching, which can be used effectively, like in Far Cry Instincts.
EA made them take them down before I could see them. Any mirrors?
What exactly is bloom lighting? I've never heard of it and I didn't notice any "fad" type lighting in those shots.
You honestly believe that the Xbox can pull of the level of detail that PGR3 does? The car models in PGR3 are at least 10,000 polygons, while the ones in PGR2 were only 4,000 at most, I believe. With 10 cars going at once, plus 3D bystanders, fully realistic cities and skylines, along with the amazing texture work going on all at once. You really believe the Xbox can do that? Show me an Xbox game that comes close to that level of detail. If it were possible, it would have been done and people would not be so amazed by PGR3.Quote:

Bizarre has said that the interior and exterior car models are made with 40,000 polys each.Quote:

like half life the lost coast. usually associated with HDR lighting. not the best example here but notice how her chest looks like its emmiting light rather than reflecting it? still shots normally make it look like crap.Quote:

Blooming:
Used by designers to create a "blurred effect" on the bright edges in a scene, emulating a camera's overexposure.
Gottcha. Kinda' like the Photoshop "diffuse glow" filter...Quote:

In layman's terms, it is the bleeding of light over an edge to make the light appear greater.
HDR is a bit different, but bloom effects are often used during HDR effects.
I'm not saying that the 360 isn't much more powerful. I'm just saying that those extra 8,000-30,000 or whatever polygons on the cars don't add too much of a visual change over what the original xbox was doing. It's like the law of diminishing returns... 4000 polys seemed like plenty to render an amazing looking car.Quote:

Good examples. I can see this effect being useful...at least a lot more useful than lens flares.Quote:

i merely want them to keep the end of last gens graphics (re4/gt4) and go balls out on ai, animation and physics. then i'd be happy.
as it stands we still have sports games where they sweat......the fucking models SWEAT....yet you can see obvious gaps when transitioning between one animation to the next. yeah it looks nice but as soon as you see shit in motion it all goes to hell.
For those of you who are talking about need a "several thousand dollar" TV to enjoy these games in hi-rez, I suggest you buy a VGA cable. You all obviously have monitors (unless you're posting on TNL from a Dreamcast on a 56k modem or something) and I can tell you from experience that I think VGA monitors make the games look even better than HDTVs (plus, you can get a good HDTV for less than a grand).
And, those of you that already have an HDTV and/or 5.1 surround sound know the pain of buying the latest cool game and having it either not support widescreen, or only support 480p, or not supporting in game 5.1 The 360 fixes all of that.
And for those of you who say you don't care about graphics, I don't believe you. A game like Geometry Wars is a perfect example of how fancy new graphics can make a classic concept even better.
Burnout is gonna be awesome. Also, they've been saying March forever so I don't think we'll see it until Summer.
FORTHE LOVE OF GOD NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!1
EA FUCKERSQuote:
Electronic Arts just released these new images of Burnout Revenge's Xbox 360 version. This should rock !

This is all very good news.
I'm so happy I didn't waste money buying the Xbox version.
