I’ve been playing Burnout Revenge on my Steam Deck recently. It’s incredible how well the Burnout series has aged, still some of the best arcade racers out there.
Played the shit out of 3, then even moreso paradise city. Then I bought paradise city again on PC. Then on switch lol. Mobile burnout is fun.... Love that game.
A couple of years ago, I played through Burnout 2 on the Wii. It's still a fantastic racer. I'm sure I had Burnout 3 on the original Xbox but I can't remember much about it.
Ugh. I don't mind more the encroaching of the definition of retro, but can we have sub classifications? Burnout 3 has to be generation 7 or 8 in consoles right? My retro ends at Gen 3...
Now please remove yourselves from my lawn before I feel the need to apologize at you for asking you to remove yourself from my lawn.
I think it's Gen 6 (PS2/Xbox). But at the time the Gen 6 consoles were new, the Gen 3 that you consider retro was about 20 years old, just like these consoles are now. I think they still fit the label of retro pretty well, but it's always hard to consider something newer than your childhood as "old" tbh
Check out Beam.NG, if you haven't. It's about as close as a modern game gets to the same level of sheer joy and fun, but it isn't as well-packaged and intuitive.
That looks great, wishlisting tomorrow definitely! I miss simple racing games, so sounds like my cup of tea! :)
Hehe my lemmy client saw the game's name as a link, and it went to a strange redirect thing! Here's a link to the game if it helps anyone :) https://www.beamng.com/game/
It's such a buzzkill to lose a race because you took a turn you shouldn't have after blazing through the first 3/4 of it in first. For a game that requires twitch reactions at high speeds, it certainly was a choice to make players have to constantly take their eyes off the road to find the map.
I miss feeling pride in having all the consoles (my dad worked at a retailer, had the hookups!). Even had a Jaguar and a 3DO.
Now, with how hard PS5s were to get, the lack of decent exclusives (excluding Nintendo lol) and the bullshit of hacking to pay for multiplayer, I've become almost entirely PC gamer. I can't even feel good about having one system, let alone all three big ones. :(
