Not so sure I like this game. I really am on the fence. I picked this and DMC4 up at the same time, and yes I've put in more hours on Burnout, but I'm still on the fence.
The good, well the game is just flat out gorgeous. The crashes are actually cringe inducing. The sensation of speed is like nothing I've experienced before. You know a game does it right when you slow down not because you feel out of control but because you get a little nervous going that fast. The online system is amazing. Unfortunately, of my 60 some odd friends only 4 have the game. I have to do some work now to track down people that own the game and add them as a buddy.
So if it's all that why am I complaining? Well I was in a race and it's neck and neck. I'm racing from one corner of the world to another. While in a race I usually have to hit select at least 2x just to get directions to where I'm going. You can't really follow the crowd because they usually take themselves out and why would you want too? I want to eventually know these routes like the back of my hand. So anyway, I'm a race and I'm in the lead and then I take a round turn at the last second and that's it. Race is over. I lost. Not only that, but I can't get back in that race unless I drive back to the starting point (which I probably don't even remember).
WTH? And where is my crash mode?
Despite all these complaints, I'm all set to pop in Burnout right now and get some racing in. I'll come back with a review later when I'm a bit deeper in the game.
F1 24 is a miss this year despite being able to race as legends in career and it looking better than it ever has.
State of Play is back! Tune in live for updates on PS5 and PS VR2 titles, plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later this year.
The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console worldwide with 825,315 units sold for April 2024, according to VGChartz estimates. The PlayStation 5 has now sold an estimated 58.01 million units lifetime worldwide.
The Nintendo Switch sold an estimated 626,448 units to bring its lifetime sales to 139.86 million units. The Xbox Series X|S sold 208,110 units to bring their lifetime sales to 28.51 million units. The PlayStation 4 sold an estimated 4,334 units to bring its lifetime sales to 117.17 million units.
Still amazed how well the switch is still selling. The Xbox might as well be taken of store shells.
Going into this generation I knew that Xbox Series X/S would never outsell the PlayStation 5. But the fact that it's selling worse than the Xbox One, that I would never have guessed.
