I've edited the description multiple times and yet, the link for Clu's video seems to keep taking some people to a DeadMau5 Masterclass advert. For those having this issue, the video is specifically called "An Examination of Hunt: Showdown" and it should be the first video you see when copying that. Now I will forever have beef against Masterclass for giving me this grief.

[@NFSBeast2365]

[@TheSchoolyD]

It's EA, I frankly don't want to see them making a Burnout game nowadays. Even once great racing games like NFS and Forza are going down the shitter due to microtransactions. Just look forward to the series' original creator's new game. I also want a new Burnout (I didn't like Paradise's racing system - it was too reptetive without checkpoints) and a new Midnight Club - but out of these only Midnight Club might deliver, and even then it's unlikely Rockstar even remembers about it.

[@TheSchoolyD]

Mechanically Forza is alright, it's the progression in the campaign that's poor. If you only got it to paly online it shouldn't bother you, although it should be the other way around...

[@JohnDoe-qs1ru]

EA would ruin it anyways. Look at Need 4 Speed, those games are microtransaction infested shitholes now. Plus I don't want an open world Burnout. Burnout Paradise sucked compared to 3 and Revenge. 3 is the best Burnout though.

[@mallow2902]

I never understood the criticism of traffic checking. Weaponizing the cars on the road to destroy your rivals is so unbelievably satisfying, and you still have to dodge oncoming and intersection traffic, large vehicles, and level geometry. Burnout Revenge is like crack, and I wish it was on PC officially. I of course do wish 3 was on PC as well.

[@tsoxpridezz6743]

I will never forget burnout 3

[@CoreIdeas]

That explanation of what NFS and Burnout provided was spot on. My brother and I would play NFS to play out a fantasy we thought we could have. Burnout was like being in a dream where anything was a reality. It was beautiful.

[@Yoshirama]

What about the way RennsReviews describes it in his video on the same topic from a month ago? Oh. Never heard of RennsReviews?... I think somebody was counting on that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGjIZ2SHlq1qhZo

[@muff5442]

I am always amazed that in burnout when you do a take down. The AI takes over the car as the wreckage is shown and then gives the player back the control smoothly. Its such a dam good feature that I don't think I have seen in other video game franchises.

[@SrMissileMonkey]

I thought I was the only one too. I found Revenge as the successful successor to Takedown and I loved takedown as well. Burnout 3 was my favorite until Revenge showed up and then Revenge, for me, usurped that throne. but not a usurp but rather next of kin.

[@DetectiveMekova]

Burnout 3: Takedown basically took my teenage angst and gave me a great medium to express it. The music from that game molded much of my taste in music, and I will never forget the nights spent repeatedly trying to get gold in the time trials. Especially when they make to go through a track you've done before, but going the other way!

[@nunorocha3076]

Its thanks to this game that l am who l am today. l despise and hate Pop Culture - this defined my music taste as a kid and when l was old enough to discuss music with my school friends l was amazed they hated this type of music and tought l was weird. This lead to me to never follow what was on the trend, exploring multiple musical genras, getting inspired to play un comun instruments and meet a lot of people and have new experiences. Currently l settled down and love Drum and Bass which l would never be able to find l followed what was trendy This is just a small text that will never bee seen from a random 20 years old guy who played a lot this game as child, but Thank You Criterion, its due to you guys that l am who l am right now and l wouldnt want it another way...

[@xdarkknightx09]

I remember trying this one time trial in the f1 car until I finally made it through this one fast technical section in oncoming traffic. So satisfying once I did it.

[@TerryFT86]

I'm late, but even till this day. Burnout 3 has to be my favorite of all time in a racing game? it's kind funny as I play mostly sim racing... but Burnout 3 as a whole package was too damn enjoyable in my memory.

[@JZStudiosonline]

It was honestly kind of heartbreaking to look at reviews for the Burnout Paradise remaster and they all said they hated the music. Some people explicitly said things like "I swear, I don't listen to this music outside this game. It's all garbage." Which kind of reads like a guilty pleasure.

[@arachnus100]

[@brunovladares9714]

Getting a vertical takedown was a angelical moment, the rarity, the movement, the sound that is a lower powerfull sound than the normal high pitch sound from normal takedowns, sound more like an explosion,...spetacular

[@sheershaw22]

EA: What's that you say? You want a freemium mobile Burnout with lootboxes?

[@MrSnaztastic]

Burnout CRASH already exists, though I think it *might* have escaped the lootboxes, haven't bothered to check it since it's a weird top-down mobile spinoff nobody asked for.

That's one of my favorite things about gaming on KZbin. I love finishing games and being just as excited to watch other people's views on it as I am to move on. Your video was definitely what encouraged me to get another playthrough of Revenge completed after all these years.

[@machr293]

Austin Boonstra can you turn the camera there during a crash?

[@robertbarksdale3728]

I grew up on Burnout Revenge. That game taught me patience. As a little kid in rage mode going for my new highest score of takedowns. I would get so upset when I didn't hit my goal, i would rage. The game taught me to calm myself down and focus. I found the game so rewarding as me and my brother watching would sit in silence with burning anticipation on the inside as each takedown was closer to my goal. I even remember i was so happy to break 40, then 50, then 100... I don't remember what my final score was or what happened to the game. But it is a game I've always hoped for the proper return of. You did the franchise justice by making this video. Thank you.

[@yesfiraswa]

There are PCSX2 and Xenia Canary patches that disables the road rage timer so you will able to score takedowns higher

[@ChrisPTenders]

I could listen to you talk about the nature of tracks and cars being obliterated to pieces to Beast and the Harlot for hours. That timing was perfect. The song intro building up behind you talking about how the competitive nature of the series differentiates itself within the genre; climaxing into the vocal shout of the first verse phrase at the tail end of the build up to your thesis sentence for the tracks, and the way you pause dramatically before you finish the sentence with emphasis on the basis for your thesis on beat with the opening phrase of the verse; the verse riff chugging away in the wake of the aforementioned as you describe with great satisfaction the lethal nature of the shortcuts; and then the melodic arpeggio chorus comes in, and you pause dramatically to deliver the single word "verticality" before your verbal spectacle evolves into the spectacular conceptual luster of the unique encounters, in kept time with the wandering phrases of the melting guitars... it's perfect. Then the solo comes in and you're just exerting ethereal word play mastery over the empyreal catharsis of the calculated chaos that is the vehicular destruction and its repercussions... the solo flairs to an end and you shift gears and floor the gas into presentation, right before transitioning into a montage showcasing how great explosions sound. Wow, just describing your video is the most fun I've had all week. I've never appreciated the use of a song so much. Whether purely coincidental, improvisation/capitalization on happenstance, or intended and constructed this way from the ground up - that was celestial my man. You are a wizard of visual audio splendor.

[@Lakros03]

[@yesfiraswa]

The most harder takedown in Burnout series is Total Takedown. You have to takedown 5 cars in a very short time (probably the multi takedown time period is 1 second), but it can be done by aftertouch. Still it's a very hard multi takedown type to perform.

[@Foreversystemofadown]

On xbox u can unlock an achievement called "Stack the pack!" by doing a Total payback.

[@YTHandlesWereAMistake]

Man the trophies they gave you for performing these? Oh, so good.

[@Aero7SVR]

EA doesn't care about Burnout. They can't even get Need for Speed right. Right now, Burnout is as dead as Dead Space. Another big publisher needs to purchase the Burnout IP from EA, only then will we see Burnout reborn.

[@tropixx_xlr1549]

Maybe its time for EA to give up the NFS series and give it to another developer and publisher. The games were ok, but I think others could do the series a lot better.

[@tropixx_xlr1549]

Ertan Soner perhaps a riot is in order, to shut them down for good!

[@adriandotexe]

So, did you not see them remaster Burnout Paradise, or...

[@Aero7SVR]

Yes, I'm aware of the Paradise remaster. To me, it's just EA milking another classic game franchise to death. Because why spend $100 million developing an all-new $60 game, when you can spend next to nothing selling what is essentially a 10 year old game with updated '4K' resolutions for $20 ? Seriously, Microsoft are offering the same '4K' service with their Xbox One X Enhanced program, and they're not charging a single cent. You can buy a ton of used Xbox 360 games for $2 to $5 each, and play them in 4K (and in some cases HDR) on your One X. Don't be fooled, EA are and have always been smart and cunning. The real fools here are the silent majority of gamers who continue to support the toxic culture of pre-ordering, microtransactions, pay to win, day one DLC, cash grab 'remasters', and whatnot with their proverbial wallets.

[@The-Urban-Goose]

One of my favourite gaming moments was in Burnout 3 when I was on the oncoming lane with an AI in the same car as me right next to me. He was steering into me, I was steering into him, no lateral movement. Then we approached a bus and I very slightly let go of the left stick so that he was on a collision course with the bus. We kept going at full speed until we reached the bus. I barely made it past while he stopped dead in his tracks with an amazingly satisfying sound.

It may be rude to think this way, but I don't care, as in this video I saw in you...myself, but much more educated, smarter and skilled. I mean, the amount of love and appreciation you have to this game, one can not only see it, but also hear it, in your voice and the way you have presented and expressed your opinion on Burnout Revenge (I don't want to say that you can even feel it tho, as it sounds wrong and I'm sure you know why), which I'm sure is one of your favourite games in the whole genre at least. The way you've talked, or told (bad English) about it, is the way I talk or tell etc about my favourite games, or at least seek to do it as well as individuals like you, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who've felt this way after watching this video...or a vidoe on, let's say, Spec Ops, or...yeah.

[@GameRevo]

Burnout 3/Revenge are some of my favourite games, but I don't go back to them as much as I'd like. The main thing that puts me off is the sub-HD resolutions on the original releases, which makes it hard to see what's coming up. Thankfully, the bright yellow corner arrows help that, but crashing into a vehicle you couldn't quite make out is inevitable. I'd love to see a new Burnout game, or even a remaster of 3 and Revenge for this reason specifically. My crackpot theory for the series' disappearance is that EA put all their chips in with NFS, and didn't want anything to potentially compete with it, especially due to the higher cost of game development come gen 7. Then again, the whole Titanfall 2 release debacle shoots holes in that theory. Anyway, amazing video! It really captured the magic of these games. I like that you're taking the risk with some variety content, keeps the channel evergreen.

I've dumped over 3,000+ hours into Burnout Paradise (there's a gigantic story I wrote over on Gameranx's channel pertaining to their BP: Remaster video all about it) and it's one of those games that never truly feels like it'll stagnate, purely because it's the best at what it does. This is a masterfully edited video, and you give me hope for the future of the series. Thank you for doing my all-time favorite series proud.

Burnout 3 Takedown is one of my top 5 games, not just racing games, _GAMES,_ of all time. I play it today and have just as much fun as I did when I was a kid. I remember accumulating over like, 350 recorded hours in that game, which was a HUGE amount of time for a non-JRPG game back then IIRC before all this games as a service shit. I never got to play revenge but it looks like fun, I might try to find a copy later. Man, I miss this franchise, it's so hard to find any game like it these days that is of anywhere near the same quality and level of fun, especially in the sea of racing sims that I just really do not have any interest in playing unless it's in VR.

[@skuzzyj]

Yeah, I think I clocked over 400 hours of B3 myself, between me playing to unlock literally everything (the only game I did that with) and doing the party modes like crash and passing the controller around in takedown mode while we were all drinking. Who could last the longest? Have another beer.

[@shred1894]

The main issue with Paradise was that it lost the arcadey feel that 3 and Revenge had when it switched to the open world layout. It was cool for a while, but after a few hours of playing you start to realize how little substance the open world had. Not just that, but the progression felt really unrewarding compared to previous titles. In burnout 3, whenever you unlocked a new car, you couldn't wait to try it out, and you felt accomplished when you finally got the top tier cars in each class. Not only that but the world tour system made it satisfying in that you could feel your progress as you earned the next stages of events, as well as the fact that you could just jump right into the events from the menu without any fuss or hassle. There are cases like this where an open world actual hinders the game instead of making it better.

Burnout legends on the psp was my favourite, the rival races were the most intense

[@ububububububububub1667]

yeah especially the one on island paradise against the hot rod

[@mightquinnable]

I SECOND THIS ACTION, BURNOUT WAS THE SHIT Edit: a little fact about me is that the old racing game of the PS2 open me up the rock music

[@thewintereaglefly]

Revenge was the first game I've actually owned in my life, my first PS2 game. I looked at the gameplay for the first time and thought "holy fuck I'm watching a movie". But dude, the soundtrack. I get emotional when Helicopter or Dance, Dance comes in. Best burnout game, end of story.

[@strangeholder]

Burnout was the perfect balance of oldschool NFS arcade racing and FlatOut 2. Destruction and high octane racing.

[@benarchyuk837]

Burnout 3 needs either a remaster or a reboot. This game was so many of our childhood's, plus the amazing soundtrack was just icing on the cake. Not to mention there isnt any games out there (except beamng drive on steam) that satisfy my crashing sensation.

[@JohnPoopsTV]

Bring us The Original Burnout Quadrilogy remastered! Takedown is the best in the franchise easily, we need to bring it back.

[@Luke-xi2pq]

Thought I was the only one who still remembered this gem, thank you for recognizing it :)!

[@ramzilla95]

Just dumped an ungodly amount of hours on Paradise City Remastered. Love this franchise and would love to hear you provide a retrospective for each game! Fantastic stuff as always!

[@0ctopusComp1etely]

I'm not much for real-world-style racing games. They can be fun, especially in a real arcade, but they're not something I go out of my way to play. Burn 3 was the exception to that. From my first race I was hooked. The sheer adrenaline of pulling off dangerous stunts to be rewarded and the aggression of the driving made the game unlike anything I had played before. It was a blast every time. I wish I had played the sequel, but sadly I hadn't kept up with the series enough to know it even existed. Thank you Raycevick for broadening my horizons.

[@CineFrames123]

Burnout 3 Takedown is the GOAT. No other racing game comes close to the amount of hours I put into that game. Gahdamn imagine if Criterion Games escape the clutches of EA and create something their heart is in.

[@xexecuterxx]

Three fields is doing exactly that

[@Revealingstorm.]

Nope 4s the best

[@Sareth94]

and they seem to be doing a pretty terrible job, atleast if what Danger Zone 2 is to go by. What a terrible, uninspired mess, that is. If it's good for anything, it's a good reason to not let those "ex-Criterion devs" at Three Fields Entertainment redo anything Burnout-related...

[@WaifuWarsRacing]

uhhhh... Revenge

[@zephyrglazkov3880]

Soundtrack and gameplay are just a masterpiece of this franchise

[@ferr9809]

Oh man, the nostalgia of going to blockbuster and getting this game for my gamecube and ps2

[@ububububububububub1667]

The copy of dominator I bought second hand still has the hollywood video sticker on it lol

[@playersbro]

Slightly off topic, but hearing Bloc Party in your intro was a huge blast of nostalgia. Forgotten how much I love that band. Honestly Burnout really needs to make a comeback. I loved Paradise. Used to spend hours just free roaming in it.

[@CryptidWubz]

Burnout Revenge was amazing but it was missing a key feature from Burnout 3. SINGLE EVENT! Now I know that there was world tour but I just loved playing road rage for 30 minutes. Some people have gotten over 300 takedowns. But in revenge your only given 6:24 seconds if you don't get totaled. But in all revenge is a love hate relationship. But hey that's just an opinion. Great video Raycevick!

[@ububububububububub1667]

I still love playing time trial and seeing how fast i can get a lap

[@austinwolfe8814]

I always loved the ST for burnout 3, watching this video makes me wanna go find a playlist on spotify and go through the whole playlist throughout the day, absolutely love your videos 😁

What are your thoughts on Split/second? And would you like to see a Mashup of the two?

[@notatemplar9112]

The routechangers were so badass. I wish we got a sequel.

[@adonizi]

Split second is one of the greats. Good memories of playing split screen with a friend.

[@slvrcobra1337]

That's the closest high-octane feeling I've ever gotten to a Burnout game since Revenge. That game was nuts, love how the tracks got more and more utterly destroyed as the race went on.

[@brunor832]

Split/Second was probably one of the best post-Burnout racers. The adrenaline rush you could get by throwing a 747 on your opponents, blowing up an entire dam, crashing down a whole building, with an awesome soundtrack and set design was just phenomenal. It was just released at the worst possible time for a racing game and the dreams of a sequel were totally shattered. I will always remember Split/Second for those unique moments.

[@idakev]

Ridge Racer Unbounded has a lot of Burnout and Split/Second in it

[@Average_GDI_Disk_Thrower]

....I unabashedly love the fact that you went full-ham on the "A WARP SPIDER", made me laugh for a solid 2 minutes

[@senorlechuga8832]

I want to play revenge so much, because of that shitty traffic which came during important races in Burnout 3 Also, the radio talking about the race you were having, and the traffic that you will encounter, was such an amazing point, was so cool!

[@tsoxpridezz6743]

Burnout 3 was my childhood. I will never forget the days me and my best friend spent on this game. I listen to the soundtracks every now and then, they formed my taste in music.

[@bumibomber]

The problem with Burnout is that... ... It got burnt out.

[@rajaryanpandey19]

Ba dum tss

[@BigsGaming]

Yyeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

[@fromaggio7654]

Jus-Just get out please

[@superdrinkingpepsi]

But it'll come back to get it's *revenge.*

[@nightshiftrider819]

When "An Honest Mistake" started playing at the end of your Star Wars Battlefront video my first thought was Burnout: Revenge one of my all time favourite racing games and I just thought "PLEASE TELL ME HE'S DOING A VIDEO ON IT" and I just watched it and dude you've got my nostalgia through the roof. I Hope they remake Revenge. No other Burnout game has topped it in my opinion.

[@cchristopher1677]

I love the music choice The album “City of evil” by Avenged Sevenfold 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (Beast and the Harlot) lol I thought it sounded familiar!

[@Behdad47]

I love how beast and the harlot is being played in the background 5:47

[@aturkishgamer9790]

Takedown is my personal favorite honestly. I spended hours after hours playing it. It’ll be in my heart forever. And the soundtrack... oh boy. And I love the song from the intro.

[@saturdaynightgaming4783]

I think this was during the era of good soundtracks in games. I still to this day listen to some of the music off of playlist like the ones in this.

[@tohelot]

Aaaaaah, that boostmeter extention sound and getting all the boost back within takedown and just zoooooooming throught competition, just some soundeffects that are intrigated to my mind, since they are just sooooo good. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done imaginery sequel-ost about Burnout :D I think i'm one of the few people that didn't like Paradise, something just felt off. But I hope there would proper sequel in the future. At least we get new game with "Crash"-gameplay in the future.

[@PaizuruInsanal]

Me too man, In burnout 3 and Revenge you don't feel like you're driving a car but some kind of steel monster that eats cars, it's meant to be straight forward and dynamic, just pick and go, the open world thing and the NFS modding and whatnot just reminded me that i'm just a jackass driving poorly. Might as well just play Most Wanted again. It's all in the Atmosphere, and in revenge it was almost inhuman.

[@T-Rex_Slap]

13:51 nice way to close the video with this epic jam!!!! I remember to this day racing in the Alps and this song was playing, there’s one section of the map where you’re hopping off of rooftops and while at this section the song got to the part where it goes “ba ba ba ba da da dada da da ba dada ba dada da da”.......just perfect

[@jgn]

Did I hear beast and the harlot by avenged sevenfold?

[@Changetheling]

Bitch please.

[@LoridaMan]

It was on the soundtrack of Burnout Revenge. Every song played in this video was. It was fucking great to drive through.

[@ahhaboom]

Aw man, this was such a nostalgia trip for me. Cheers for doing a video on this series! It's seriously a forgotten gem at this point, as much as it pains me to say that

[@shinbakihanma2749]

Great vid. I still play Burnout Revenge on PS2 and 360. I still have Burnout Dominator. It is a damn good game. Glad to see someone else giving it props. Hopefully, we'll see you do a vid on Burnout Paradise. Honestly, I think EA is done making good racing games. Burnout is dead. NFS is undead. I doubt we'll ever get any worthwhile racer from them ever again.

[@MichaelMaxwell747]

So many say this game is their childhood. It was my mid life crisis! I love Burnout Revenge so much both the offline and the online play. There is no game that I have played that much online multi player, none even close! I once played an entire weekend straight and got ranked under 1000 in the world very briefly. I get so excited just hearing that song Shotgun from the soundtrack at the end. Not because I like the song but because of the game!

[@peoplesdreamsneverend2709]

Bring back Burnout 3 Specifically

[@HanifBadarudin]

Now this is an essay. Unlike some who don't do their research, what an entertaining video. You actually convinced me to play burnout since I've never played anything else other than Paradise.

[@coisnotpog]

I would love to see you do a video on Gran Turismo. It is a series that used to be revered as one of the best, but they have lost their way.

[@prodzynclads]

Like him ending his tale at the end of junkie xls today gives me and maybe many of us joy reminding us of the past and how we enjoyed our child and teenage hoods as he reminds us of the games issues but highlights the beauty of the game.Thank you raycevick

[@barryallencoffee]

I loved paradise, I remember singing paradise city for the 1000th time while going full send in a motorcycle

[@juan_shot6324]

Burnout 3 was the one I grew up on. I played the others like revenge, dominator, and paradise a lot, but burnout 3 was the one I fondly remember from my childhood days. I had lost the game many years back, but I bought it back in 2019 from a game store. Played through it on my ps2 to get all gold on all events. Still held up wonderfully to this day and has gave me a joyride that I was happy to relive

[@anthonyspecf]

I used to love this franchise (especially Takedown and Revenge). Paradise was ok, but it felt like the open world wasn't as good as the crafted tracks of the previous titles. It seems as EA is done with the franchise now. They are more concerned with 'Games as Services' Shooters or sports titles now. Even NFS feels like it is on the edge of being shelved. I think the Danger Zone franchise might have the potential to deliver the Burnout experience (and be our best bet). The first two games are more tech demos that are hopefully leading up to the full experience by the next game. Its a wait and see kind of thing. Maybe Burnout will carry on, even if it might not technically be Burnout.

[@walsh451]

Loved Burnout Revenge on xbox 360, had a wonderfully active community back in the day! Miss it so much

[@MaximG.]

Can you imagine how _awesome_ it would be to have the same level of vehicle destruction of Burnout or FlatOut, but with licensed cars? Why these corporations are so concerned about presenting their cars destructible? We got it, Need for Speed or Gran Turismo are essentially big advertising platforms for various automobile companies, but do these games have to suffer from their needs to present these cars as being made of adamantium or obstinatanium or something?

[@metallbroetchen]

Максим Г. well, you have Driver San Francisco, which features destructible licensed cars, and in the Reboot if Most Wanted you can also smash up your cars...

[@chrisdagoat990]

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

I've always wanted a crash mode editor. Like you pick a junction, place all the trafic you want in their different starting points, set the path they'll drive through the level, add power ups, and place your car. Then you can play it and even share it online!

Me after watching this: "I'm not crying! You are!"

I LOVED this game. And I also have never found a replacement. Pure adrenaline inducing joy.
