Seems like he latest Burnout versions lost all it's crashy goodness... can't even run into cars from behind anymore :)

and from what I seem it doesn't appear like it'll have any party game modes anymore...

what's burnout without a crash party, in fact I didn't see any sort of crash gametypes at all, it's the heart of urnout and the very reason even the non gamers in my family enjoy sitting in front of the TV and taking turns seeings who can get the best scores and crashes.

I think the crash gamemode is now called Showtime and from what i've read, it isn't as good as crash mode.

I've never been a big fan of the Burnout series and wasn't overly impressed with this one either. The only difference really in this game is that its free roaming now, which for some reason they assume is better?

SWOS demo is good, brings back memories :) but does anyone have any idea why it logs you out of live when you launch it and then logs you back in when you quit the demo?

Dunno, wondered the same thing about the log on/log off with SWOS

It's still SWOS :) but again, when 75% of the information window on live lists about it's downloadable/tracking in-game ads, I just feel Microsoft really are trying everything to screw people for money with the Live Arcade.

Good. Maybe now some people will see it's not as bad as everyone claimed it was (I honestly think most of the people who said the game was horrid never played it -- it's decent).

No really ... As I said in another thread, this game should have been canned and the devs shot for producing something like that. And yes I played it.

Oh please... tell me, what makes it so bad? It's not good, but it ain't horrible.

(The 360 version at least. The PC version was a crap port.)

I have to agree with you there, whilst I thought it was going to abysmal due to all of the poor reviews, I decided to give it a try and was surprised to see that it isnt as bad as they make out. I actually enjoyed playing the demo, I may even consider one of the plethero of discount offers this is getting at the moment and purchase it.

I don't wanna go off topic too much by debating here, but I played it right after GoW and CoD4 on pc and well ... The GFX and atmosphere and some stupid little things here and there led to a big let down. Maybe this could have done a good movie coz the story seems to be interesting but I stay on my position : This game should have been canned anyway and they should have made a movie instead.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
