Respond to this if you are interested.

[VG Aficionado]

We need to do this more oftenly. BP is released on Thursday here, so I'll hopefully join you guys within a week from now. I need some practise!

I also hope I'll have some time the following week prior to DMC4's release :-p

[Kiwi]

I'll be online tonight and for most of tomorrow probably. Anybody who wants to add me, my U/N is in my sig.

[FISCHSTYX]

I may be on for a little bit, but not till like 8-9pm EST... Tomorrow I will most likely be on 5pm EST. Hope to see you soon, Matt!

[Kiwi]

I've got the day off tomorrow, so I'll be on late tonight, I may even be around when you're on tonight. If not, then I'll definitely see you on tomorrow.

[FISCHSTYX]

^ Word to teh mummy fucka!

[PSXBatou]

I should actually be on tonight, I got home from class too late last night.

[ddaryl]

We had a good romp yesterday.... however fischstyx owned us in the pair of races we did. the rest of us made all kinds of wrong turns.

the takedowns were the best part.

[FISCHSTYX]

pwnage, beotches.

:P 'twas good fun

[Haji_Chevalier]

Dont worry aboout it Fischstyx, i had a great time without you. haha

[FISCHSTYX]

Well, last night was fun; had about 7 psi guys playing at once.

Although, we all have camera's, and were using the mics on the cameras, and that ended up making some horrible echoing feedback. Methinks headset+camera would be just right.

[Kiwi]

Yea, that got really annoying after a while. I'm gonna see if I can get my POS Sony Ericsson headset working tonight. Apart from that, it was a good laugh, and I didn't use the C word once! :-D

[FISCHSTYX]

Oh Noes, Not Teh C-word!!!!?????

Yeah, btw sorry guys... I swear alot in-game... its almost uncontrollable... *insert tourettes guy clip here*

ass ASS ASS!!!

[Kiwi]

Especially when I crash into you when you're setting a race up :P

[FISCHSTYX]

^^^ oh yeah that was fucking obnoxious you C-word! :P

[Kiwi]

You love me really :-D

[VG Aficionado]

I have a 5 € discount that I can use to buy BP but they still didn't have it today :cry2: I'll check again later today and tomorrow.

[FISCHSTYX]

Yeaaaahh..... yeah I do.... *blush*

[Kiwi]

I have a 5 € discount that I can use to buy BP but they still didn't have it today :cry2: I'll check again later today and tomorrow.

Why didn't it come out last week over there?

[VG Aficionado]

Who knows. Stupid Europe :cry2:

[Kiwi]

Indeed. We'll be waiting for you when you finally get it :)

[FISCHSTYX]

Awww... how cute!!!

[VG Aficionado]

Indeed. We'll be waiting for you when you finally get it :)

:grouphug:

[Kiwi]

Won't be so cute when I'm ramming his car onto its roof ;)

[Leedogg]

first one to take out the newbie (VG) wins!!!!

[Kiwi]

Well it'll probably be you with your damn van! :P

[VG Aficionado]

I'm going to pwn j00 all :realmad:

[Kiwi]

Bring it, n00b! :-D

To be honest, you'll probably end up pwning all of us. If your Stardust score is any indication of your gaming skill, then we're all doomed!!

[VG Aficionado]

Remember my B3 and BR 100% gold scores :evillaugh:

But it's been a while since I last played a Burnout, and I'll need some time to get used to BP. Hmmm... :shifty:

[Kiwi]

This is where playing the demo would've come in handy for you. You'll get it soon enough though, it's not a lot different to the other games.

I only just noticed last night that they've got some of the music from the previous games in the soundtrack to this one, along with some HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE stuff.

[FISCHSTYX]

Yeah, I turned off the music 10min after I bought the game.

[ddaryl]

^^^

Yeah I turn off the music in all games. Can't wait till we can pump in our own tunes.

[Kiwi]

I was using my friend's laptop for music the other day, but then I couldn't hear teh fisch talking. Camera + headset combo FTW methinks.

[FISCHSTYX]

^FTMFW, no doubt. Works really well for me. I was jamming out to some old skool metal, thanks to the bloke overseas w/the laptop.

[Kiwi]

That wasn't old skool metal, that was the new Meshuggah album! I'm surprised you could hear it to be honest, the sound quality on that laptop is shite.

For the people who not know. You Can't play the Game online on 360 Core/Arcade.

[Sephiroth_VII]

Poor Xbox owners :(

[FISCHSTYX]

360 FAILS.............






again.

[VG Aficionado]

^Be careful, guys. The minimal offense towards the 360 is considered like a crime lately, no matter how right or wrong it is. I guess some people are way too sensitive, as I don't see the same reactions when someone attacks the PS3 here.

On topic: proud Burnout Paradise PS3 owner here :hugegrin: I can't guarantee my online presence until next week though :(

[FISCHSTYX]

I may be on tomorrow morning, if anyone is around.



p.s. fanboism/free speech forbidden on psi? Fershizzle?!

[GTAce]

FISCH you are already in the category fanboy because of your usertitle.
Dont forget that GT5 Prologue is more unrealistic than Forza, doesnt have all the new ideas and plays the same like GT4, that its not a full game doesnt count by the way. *cough*

For the people who not know. You Can't play the Game online on 360 Core/Arcade.
Yep because the game needs an HDD for data streaming.
But it should work when you buy an HDD for your Core/Arcade system.

EDIT: http://forums.e-mpire.com/showthread.php?t=83319 Oh theres a thread about it.

Hey can I play with you guys? I just got mine like 2 mins ago. This city is really huge, and i really don't find it hard to read the turns I mean it flashes and gives you that warning noise just hard drift left or right.

Well anyway can I play?

Um quick question, where are region 3 games from? Living in the Caribbean I usually get region 1 games from america. But theres only one store here that has Burnout and I just realized all his games are region 3 (bought Folklore as well).

[VG Aficionado]

Sorry I got out of the online game pals, I'm still a n00b and I was just toying around to see how it worked. Once I get a few more cars and I know the map better I'll start pwning j00 all :norris:

[Kiwi]

I'll be back home in a couple of days, so we'll all have to get together again. You can come along too VG for some pwning :-D

[VG Aficionado]

I will :norris:

There isn't really region 1 etc for blu-ray

Contrary to DVD, the Blu-ray Disc region coding system divides the world into only 3 regions, called regions A, B and C. The usage of region coding on a Blu-ray Disc movie title is a publisher's option. A Blu-ray Disc player will play any movie title that does not have region coding applied, plus all titles of its corresponding region.

Region A:
- North America
- Central America
- South America
- Korea
- Japan
- South East Asia

Region B:
- Europe
- Middle East
- Africa
- Australia
- New Zealand

Region C:
- Russia
- India
- China
- Rest of World

[VG Aficionado]

.®, all games are region free no matter what they say on the case, meaning that any PS3 disc will work on any PS3 in the world. You can play with any of use worldwide in Burnout Paradise.

sure :susp:

you were lucky that you got off when you did, because me and fisch was getting ready to come and take you down. Whatever VG your just delaying the envitable. :norris:

[VG Aficionado]

We'll see about that :norris: I still saw you were crashing around like n00bs! :evillaugh:

[Kiwi]

We like to crash into eachother a lot :-D

BTW, I'm back home tonight, so I may be around for a little while. I also have the day off tomorrow, so I'll be on all day (most of it anyway) Monday.

[VG Aficionado]

Hehehehehe. Nice little brawl we had yesterday :-p

I'm still a n00b in the game as I had too weak cars and didn't know the map all that well yet. However, I have a license B now and better cars, so expect more pwnage from me soon :norris: I've got a nice collection of hilarious mugshots for now :-D

[FISCHSTYX]

VG, I will kaht joo, mang. I no keed. I kaht joo deep. LOLZ!

Twas alot of fun last night.

Matt, remember how I was making fun of you not being able to talk last night? Well, kharma's a bitch, and my throat is sore as hell this morning.

[Kiwi]

:lol: Bwahahahahahaha!! :lol:

[ddaryl]

I continually get my ass handed to me in the races. No matter how I try i always miss turns.

still good fun though.

[Kiwi]

It happens. The more you play it, the more familiar you'll get with the race routes.

[PSXBatou]

I have a B license and I stil get lost on races. The sign blinks for a turn but I am paying attention to not smashing in to something... and I miss it...

I'll try to get online this week, I added those of you that sent me a request. With grad school starting back up I am rather swamped between that, work, and at least a little family time.

If I have free time and the weather is good on Sunday I think any free time I have will be spent flying my RC helicopters. Weather has been too shitty lately, a 300 & 450 sized heli gets batted around when its windy. Other than that I should be on for sure on Saturday evening and Friday evening. Maybe tonight or tomorrow too :)

[Raitei]

i mat rent this game next (it's this or DMC4), if i take to the game, it may be one for the future. (i still need to get UT3 first =])

maybe ill play with y'all later this week

I still get lost as well. With a lot of the races, I've managed to learn the exact route, but there's some where you have to take quite a few turns. Also, with the faster cars, it's harder to react when you're supposed to make a turn. The sign will start flashing, and before you know it, you've already missed the turn, or you've smashed into a wall trying to take the turn a bit late.

Welcome to my world. I would like a slightly better turing indicator, because I'm always missing turns

The sign will start flashing, and before you know it, you've already missed the turn, or you've smashed into a wall trying to take the turn a bit late.

I usually see the indicator then somehow I turn too early and hit the wall about 100 feet before the turn. If I miss it I just keep going and hope it works out in the end. It never does

I never seem to have that problem I've found that on upcoming turns especially when you don't know the route just slow down. I know it's hard but if you let go of the boost you gain at least an 80% better chance at making the turn.

And on the really long races making a wrong turn or crashing isn't a big deal. Once on a race to the wind farm I somehow ended up on the highway going the wrong way turned around two exits later and still won.

[VG Aficionado]

Woohoo!

[VG Aficionado]

By the way guys, I'm amazed at how lag-free our online game was, and that's considering I have a high ping.

Burnout Paradise is really polished on PS3. I've got yet to see a framerate slowdown, screen tearing or any graphical flaw that I could care about. It's so good it makes me forget to ever look for faults. I'm also amazed by the shadows, they reminded me of Uncharted's shadows, only at 60 fps in a huge and fast open world. I was quite worried of never seeing non-flickery shadows or something close on PS3 ever in its life, but these two games have relieved me.

I need better indicators. Slowing down and letting go of the boost is what I always do, but by the time the indicator is flashing, and the time I let go of the boost it's already too late.

If I try to time it I still screw it up.

Maybe if I invest another 100 hours I will master it, but I sure as hell don't have that time to spare

[ddaryl]

I think need glasses actually. I can see close up, but distances get blurry. Although I still function fine I'm starting to believe it will now make me a better gamer.

I sit 10 + feet away form my TV which is 56 inches. So my hypothesis is my eyesight is keeping me from being the best gamer I can be. So I'm scheduling an eye exam and then will see who kicks who's ass !!!
