Pretty happy about Crysis 3 - question though. Do you have to download it to your Xbox 360 now through Games With Gold, or can you download it to your Xbox One and leave it for a few months.

wicked3919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

Just go online and buy it for 360 (free) then it will download on the xbox one, assuming it's backwards compatible. I have been collecting all the games with gold since it started and slowly but surly they are appearing on my xbox one as they become backwards compatible.

CoyoteHunter3919d ago

Wow 133 and counting. I think that's a pretty awesome size right out of the game, and with still more announcements to be made. Microsoft is killing it.

SlappingOysters3919d ago

If Rockstar and Acti come in, it will jump by 20 overnight, too.

Macka10803919d ago

Burnout Paradise is still in my mind one of the best racers I've played - since Burnout 3, at any rate. Replaying it might ease the pain of probably never seeing another Burnout game again.

Immorals3919d ago

Wish I could have played paradise without the burnout name attached, I might have loved it then.

But it was so far from being a Burnout game, it was easily my biggest disappointment of last generation. Shame, because it's a good game.

Macka10803918d ago

Very true. The 'crash mode' especially was totally not Burnout. It was a great game, but a different beast from the rest of the series.

shipnabottle3919d ago

Be interesting to see how the Xbox backwards compatibility program and the PS Now streaming of older games stack up against each other for popularity. I can see pros and cons for both.

muzikjunkie803919d ago

xbox ones backwards compatibility will obviously be alot more popular than playstation now for one main reason.

its free and comes with every xbox one, playstation now is a paid service and only some people will be paying to use it.

only con i can see with xnox B/C is not every game will work with it but that can be fixed in time.

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.

SullysCigar1107d 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.

NJShadow1106d 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.

EazyC1107d 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.

BrainSyphoned1107d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1107d ago

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

Einhander19711107d ago

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

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

camel_toad1756d ago

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

Flewid6381756d ago (Edited 1756d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381756d ago (Edited 1756d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1756d ago

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

Flewid6381756d 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.

Chocoburger1756d 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.

ChasterMies1756d ago

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

Xenial1756d ago

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