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.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
