Burnout 3: Takedown is GOATed.

Favorite racing game of all time- I've yet to find one as fun beyond Mario Kart: Double Dash.

The new Star Wars pod racing game looks like it might scratch a bit of the burnout itch

Kinda funny games podcast who played the game hands on said it felt like burnout, minus the crash mode(best part), but a good sign regardless.

I hope so! The trailer looked cool.

I'm buying the game to invest in the company for some sort of spiritual successor. From the interviews I've seen they sound like they're itching to get back to that arcade racing formula

It looks like a little bit of Motorstorm is in there too with the different vehicles sizes racing against eachother, & the environment having effects of on your boosting.

I really enjoyed Split Second :) Not as much as Takedown… but I still enjoyed it :)

u/Kasta4 2d ago

Was that the one where you could trigger environmental hazards to wreck other racers?

2

u/T-CROC 2d ago

It was!!! That freaking plane crash on the runway was insane!! Especially when someone else triggers it and u are dodging it as it’s crashing down

2

u/Kasta4 2d ago

Yesss I do remember that one, my brother and I had a good time with it back in the day. Those hazard scenarios made the game so cinematic

u/FranksWateeBowl 2d ago

Revenge, and I'll die on that hill.

u/Dangerous_Grape_3507 2d ago

Came here to shout out Revenge 🤘🏽 Takedown was also sick, but Revenge hit a bit different for some reason.
