Great link, Prime. Better than the original link.

I hope you like bubbles.

ukilnme5960d ago

I still don't know which version to buy. Time to flip a coin.

crunchie1015960d ago

I know what you mean. I prefer the feel of the controls on the PS3 version, but all my friends have 360s and on the 360 i can have my own music.

LJWooly5960d ago (Edited 5960d ago )

Just buy it for your favourite console. The one you love the most.

I would go with the PS3 version myself, due to the reliable hardware and, apparently, the PS3 has a slight visual edge (I didn't notice a difference, myself) but the 360 also has custom soundtracks and achievements.

The PS3 pad is also more suited to racing games, but I think overall that's a matter of personal preference.

four main factors: Hardware reliability, controller preference, custom soundtracks, and achievements. choose which factor's the biggest deal to you, and base your decision on that.

ukilnme5960d ago

I don't have a favorite. I bought all three for the exclusives. It's the multiplatform titles that are good on both the 360 and PS3 that are giving me trouble. Time to man up and make a choice after a little more research.

bruiser815960d ago (Edited 5960d ago )

maybe you should make some friends on psn, i know i need to. lets face it, live will always have the advantage if no-one is willing to make friends on psn. For anyone who cares my psn tag is bruiser81 and i will be getting this game day 1 if i can find it.

ps. the ds3 for this game is awsome

ukilnme5960d ago

@ bruiser81

I'll add you when I get home.

LJWooly5960d ago

Well, buy the PS3 version, and play me online :)

Also, since you know the PS3 was the lead development platform for this game, you can be confident that you're not playing a port.

But don't let me decide for you, I'm just trying to help you out.

EZCheez5960d ago

If I had the choice I would probably go with the one that offers custom soundtracks. Soundtracks are really important to me as far as racing games are concerned.

Just my take on it. If you do get it on PS3 add me to your friends list because I'll definitely be looking for some people to drive off cliffs with.

Double-Edged5960d ago

360 version.

Multiplatform games on the 360.

PS3 is only good for MGS4.

have only the best ps3, cannot wait for friday!

Spike475960d ago

atleast u guys can get online, I have no router and I'm waiting till my paycheck to go get one.

I owned alot of people on burnout paradise demo online.

3/4 of the freinds i made on psn were people I owned in burnout. :)

LJWooly5960d ago

Yeah, there's something about that game online. Every time I play it, I make a friend, and the buddy invite always says something like "nice driving, lol."

Maybe the free roaming aspect of the game's what contributes to how good it is online.

I know some hardcore Burnout fans were disappointed with the free-roaming approach on this game, but you can't deny that the online aspect works so much better on this game than on your average linear racer.

Hey, when you get your online working, add me, PSN ID: LJWooly.

I'll school you on Burnout :D

sak5005960d ago

rumble/achievements nuff said

LJWooly5960d ago (Edited 5960d ago )

It's not as simple as that.

You have to consider:

-Hardware reliability
-Graphical edge (apparently PS3)
-Controller preference
-Custom soundtracks
-XBL has 50 achievements, PSN has 60 but not linked to gamerscore
-Rumble is on both consoles (DualShock 3 is apparently better)

There are loads of other factors to consider, but I think it comes down to whatever console you like the most.

@ Guys below: Why so hostile? I just said that those are things you have to consider, and I never even stated my preference.

I mentioned hadware issues twice, not five times, and attach rates don't define whether a console's going to break or not.

The controller's a matter of personal preference, DoubleEdged, and you spelt my name wrong.

V1c1ous, you're not so bad, but the idiot below you needs to shut up. I seriously don't see what makes me a "ps3 fanboy".

I didn't even suggest one was better, you must have gotten the wrong idea.

v1c1ous5960d ago

-Hardware Reliablity
you've mentioned this like 5 times. you make it sounds like EVERYONE's xbox 360 is gonna flip and die. its possible, but not as likely anymore.

-Graphical edge (apparently PS3)
That one goes to ps3

-Controller preference
you dont know which controller he prefers, or anyone's for that matter.
if you would have said "X controller is better suited for Y game" yes, but burnout has no advantages based on controller

-Custom soundtracks
360 gets this one

-XBL has 50 achievements, PSN has 60 but not linked to gamerscore
both have achievements, so its a null point

-Rumble is on both consoles (DualShock 3 is apparently better)
in japan, for now anyways :/

Double-Edged5960d ago

LJwoddy.

the hardware issue?? what the heck kind of argument is that?? if that's so then why is there a higher attach ratio on the 360. stupid PS3 fanboy.

bottom line.. is that rumble is already on the 360.. and the "apparantly" is so stupid and very in accurate.

Achievment system for 360 kills the PSN... because it can rack up to the whole gamerscore.

XMB access during the game.. Music/Friends List/Chat/DashBoard.
That itself kills the PS3.

Controller preference? The analog is better placed on the 360 and the triggers are waaaaaayy better than the PS3.

your a clown.

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.

SullysCigar373d 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.

NJShadow373d 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.

EazyC373d 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.

BrainSyphoned373d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL373d ago

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

Einhander1971373d ago

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

Ranking The Burnout Games From Worst To Best

waverider1023d ago

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

camel_toad1023d ago

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

Flewid6381022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1023d ago

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

Flewid6381022d 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.

Chocoburger1022d 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.

ChasterMies1022d ago

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

Xenial1022d ago

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

Marcello1152d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1151d 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.

roadkillers1151d ago

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

BrainSyphoned1151d ago

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

isarai1151d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1151d 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.

andy851151d ago

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