Someone just remaster Burnout 3 Takedown please

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is Stryker on Crash FM, covering all things Burnout. It's about causing as much damage as possible. SMASH into the crash junction, grab whatever pickups you can, and watch the greatest crashing chain-reaction ever. Want Rock? Crash!

Let’s show them a real hard drive!

Yikes. Mixed reviews on Steam right now.

All I ask of Xbox is to make one positively reviewed game that isn't by Obsidian. The last five games made by first party Xbox studios (remasters/re-releases excluded):

  • Forza Motorsport (Mixed reviews)
  • Minecraft Legends (Mixed reviews)
  • Pentiment (Positive reviews) (Obsidian)
  • Grounded (Positive reviews) (Obsidian)
  • Halo Infinite (Mixed reviews)

Obsidian doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I think it's silly to not call Bethesda a first-party studio tbh. But you know microsoft, they are gonna win that war by buying studios so now the good games that would have come out everywhere are now an xbox game, woo.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fair enough. I thought about considering Bethesda, but since the acquisition was not too long ago, I didn't think MS would have had significant input in any of the recently-released games – aside from making Starfield and Hi-Fi Rush Xbox/PC exclusive.

Out of their last 5 new IP releases: Starfield, Redfall, Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop, only Redfall was a dud, so things are a bit better there.

Obsidian seem to be doing better than before they were acquired too

[–] Chailles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well, considering that time was either on the way towards bankruptcy, at bankruptcy, or barely recovering from bankruptcy, it's a fairly easy explanation as to why they're doing better now.

Unfortunately wheel support isn’t great. It’s apparently workable, but not well put together, which aptly describes the majority of the rest of the game too.

I was kinda hoping it’d be good, and I might still pick it up for a more casual solo/offline experience, but it still falls short of even something like GT7.

For anyone who wants to get into Simracing, we have a community over at !simracing@lemmy.ml

Good god this game needs A LOT of work and patches. Runs like absolute shit, shaders are buggy and shitty looking, textures look like something from the PS3 era, VRAM leak, etc etc.

On the bright side, driving physics is great, and I find the whole progression stuff good. Racing is fun. The rest of it needs a bunch of work, though. Gonna wait it out a bit until they've patched it a couple of times, or fifteen.

I thought maybe you were exaggerating so I loaded it up and literally DURING THE OPENING SCENES it ran cars on unending blackness for about two seconds before loading the track and stuff 😂. Bro, wtf.

*edit: game is really fun though, solid gameplay and fun to level up cars

I just checked r/Forza (yes, I just had to!) and booooy are people struggling with this game on PC. This might be one of the worst optimized PC releases of 2023, with a bunch of bugs and glitches included. Easily up there with the Last of Us, and maybe even worse.
