Well, if EA isn't going to make a new one...

(And the answer to the poll is 3 Takedown and it isn't even close. The fact that we don't have an HD remake of that game is absolutely CRIMINAL. It's the best racing game ever made)

The time spent thinking this post would be a good idea is bad enough.

Then going ahead and posting about it just compounds this whole trial of errors.

Also Burnout Revenge IS available on modern consoles if you're on XBox! I still play it regularly!

My guess for Takedown and Revenge is that the music licenses must be hell to workaround

yet they bothered with Burnout Paradise? And SSX 3 (through BC)?

Like I said in another thread, most of the tracks in Takedown are by relatively unknown bands (outside of a few) so I doubt it's an expense thing. And even still, they can always remove the ones they can't secure licenses for again.

I think it's more of a lack of interest. EA rarely does remasters and they clearly gave Paradise the priority here.

That's an unusually brief title for these kinds of games. I need at least eight words with most being genre keywords to show up in as many searches as possible.
The publisher has plenty of those games too.

I'm sure that's part of it, but tbh they could easily do it with just generic music and most people wouldn't care

Strongly disagree here. The music is part of what makes Burnout 3.


That being said, it's still listed on the Xbox marketplace, so they still have the rights to the music somewhat.

Eh, the music really didn't have any lasting impression on me. I couldn't even tell you what the tracks were. I'm far more interested in the game itself and would gladly sacrifice the licensed music

What is the best version of Burnout 3 to play these days?

Both the Xemu and PCSX2 versions work fine for the most part.

I'd advise against playing the Xbox version through 360 BC; it has some annoying issues that kind of ruin the experience (full hitching, graphics bugs, crashes).

Normally these are funny and I laugh.

But this time.

I hate you.

Also Burnout 3: Takedown is still by far the best.

I KNEW someone would make this joke and I too was tempted, but I didn't want to be a dick.

I'm shocked EA doesn't have the trademark unless it's too generic to be?
I checked and they do have both the US & European trademarks alive & active

So this game is gonna get C&D out of existence. In fact, this thread might as well be a lawyer plant as exhibit A in trademark confusion lol
