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.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
