Endless suffering. I think EA games are the worst since they have product placements, licensed music AND licensed cars. That's like a triple whammy of copyright never getting renewed.
how do these dumbasses go up hills and speed bumps
Grayson Young
It was last time. Maybe the lastest dev pxsx2 builds fixed everything. That emulator changes so much
Dylan Smith
very carefully
Isaiah Reed
I've been playing nothing but Dirt Rally for 3 years and I still have fun with it.
Jose Rodriguez
burnout revenge is on xbone
Jonathan Perez
I remember playing a bit of Collin McRae on the PS2 and I was hoping to get back into it. Many anons here say it's one of the best racing franchises.
Lucas Gray
above pcsx2 1.5 everything runs perfectly pretty much
Juan Wood
Get a cheap PS3/360 and buy the games, they go for 5-10 quid on Ebay. I redownloaded FUEL demo last night on a whim. Free ride is so kino I can't wait until my copy arrives.
James Foster
They should make an Underground remake, I miss putting neon lights under cars.
Kevin Butler
I'll never understand why Burnout Paradise has been consistently available since 2008 and why Burnout 3/Revenge is only on console and only available digitally on the xbox store.
Levi Collins
it's probably just the soundtrack
Isaiah Stewart
thats illegal
Aaron Cook
Whatever happened to that Fast and Furious game?
Luis Rodriguez
>be me
Bentley Jones
On a video game?
Cooper Russell
But Paradise has indie shit, remixes and music popular from artists that aren't as popular or make music anymore. Plus it's impossible to start the game without hearing TAKE ME DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY. I'd imagine that faggot Axl Rose would've disputed it's use after all this time. Even fucking Obama payed for political ad placements for his 2008 campaign in the Xbox 360 version. I still don't understand how Paradise keeps getting remastered.
Ayden Moore
I miss the early 2000s car culture.
Adrian Scott
Just get Outrun2
Bentley Young
yea
Noah Bailey
Maybe they just hammered out a longer contract for that game. I'm with you 3 was maybe my favorite game that gen and I didn't like Paradise at all, but the reason games don't show up on Xbox backwards compatible is almost always due to music licensing.
Michael Hughes
Forza Horizon is the only racing series I still play, I guess it's enough for my racing fix as nothing else catches my interest.
Jaxson Butler
Why are consolefags so fucking retarded >hur hur the ONLY way you could POSSIBLY play a videogame if it it gets a digital rerelease on my poopoopeepee console!
Just play them on your PC you fucking retard jesus christ
I do. Especially Burnout and the PC versions of said games. I'm just incredibly sad it's hard to legally acquire them or preserve them since they have so many entanglements with other copyrights. It's like Goldeneye x50
Bentley Bell
HOUSE REAL BIG CARS REAL BIG BELLY REAL BIG EVERYTHANG REAL BIG
Caleb Carter
Fucking indie musicians I swear to god.
Christian Williams
AAA arcade racers have had a hard time these last years > Bizarre Creations, Black Rock, Studio Liverpool and Evo Studios have been shut down this decade > Criterion stopped making Burnouts, switched to NFS and never looked back (BPR aside) > Ghost Games has not managed NFS properly. > Namco canned a Ridge Racer game (rumoured to be RR8) that was being made for the Switch > Rockstar is too busy milking GTA V to make another Midnight Club > TDU had been dormant until recently > Bugbear took too long to make Wreckfest > The Crew, NFS can't match the quality of FH for some reason or another
Modern arcade games are still a thing, but some of them don't have the money or publisher support to become high-budget highlights: > Former Criterion devs did a Burnout successor (Dangerous Driving), but they are unfortunately cripped due to small budgets > there are good (futuristic?) games like GRIP, Pacer, , Fast Neo, Redout, Hotshot Racing...
So one could argue Playground Games is singlehandedly holding the AAA arcade racer crown for the last 8 years
