Damn, I don't want to cough up 100 bucks this week on 2 similar games, but they both have alluring appeal and I know that eventually I'll have them in my collection anyway for PS2 and PSP...

 

[newsguy]

If the 360 weren't around the corner, I would do it. Also, Madden PSP comes out next week and with every new preview it sounds like it's coming along nicely. The dillema is more "which do I buy and which do I rent?"

 

[SteveMeister]

I'm definitely picking up the PSP version, but I'll hold off on the Xbox version as I'm never home enough to justify it these days. But once Oblivion ships, I'll pick up the X360 version as soon as that's out.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I'm getting Legends for sure, and waiting to hear about Madden next week. End of the PSP drought! Time to get my portable game fix again, I mean, aside from Hot Shots Golf!

I'm going to pass on Revenge and wait to see what the 360 version is like. I'm not sure i'll pick up any other Xbox games before the 360 launch.

 

[krypt0nian]

I would but its PSP/360 for me.

 

[atomsk]

passing on legends.

i was excited till i heard the crash mode is identical to 3

all i wanted was a few crash junctions from 2. oh well

sadly this is the only thing i was keeping the psp around for, so now it's going to be trade-in fodder for the 360

 

[dskillzhtown]

Not sure. I am leaning more and more towards X-Box Revenge. I totally forgot that PSP Madden was coming out next week as well. Just thinking that having Burnout on my Big Screen would be more enjoyable than on my PSP. I will get both eventually though.

It's not exactly the same, though. They ditched the multipliers, for one thing...

 

[Legal Step]

I'm buying none, Burnout is for losers.

 

[atomsk]

while this is true, i still got a hell of alot more play out of 2 than did 3.

i'd rather have the 30 really good junctions, than 100 kinda blah ones

 

[bobbyconover]

I'll be getting both. I really wish they had spaced them out by a couple of months, though. It's a bit much to hit us with all at once.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

stfu bitch.

On the PSP, 30fps and LCD latency make this a less satisfying experience in the race modes.

And the loading is a pain in the butt. Still a good game, though.

I'd definitely get Revenge now if I could only get one. Wait until spring or summer for the 360 version? No thanks!

For you maybe. The ghosting and loading are accepted evils for the ability to play current gen games.

 

[Tarazet]

No money for EA from me, but I'll Gamefly BOL once I'm done with Coded Arms and Spiderman 2.

 

[pdk27]

PSP tomorrow. PS2 version probably after a price drop. Although knowing myself I'm going to walk out of the store with both tomorrow.

 

[sonycowboy]

PSP version only. It hurts to pay $50 for a PSP game, but I guess I should experience it at least once before GTA

 

[Beer Monkey]

Well, that's the other thing...the damage modeling and physics of Legends is very Playstation 1.5, and does not live up to recent current-gen iterations of the franchise. Also, the walls and rails show seams and gaps like original Playstation and Saturn racers.

I think that's going a bit too far, but it does seem a LOT less polished than other PSP racers. Ridge Racers and Wipeout both FEEL like a current gen game and look extremely solid. BOL seems very rough around the edges in comparison. It also seems to be rather lacking in the lighting department.

Regarding Revenge...

I'm still so torn on which one to buy. I think I really might have to go with the PS2 release this time. The blur effects are just so damn good looking...and so damn missing on XBOX.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Despite the custom soundtracks, I'm still going to pick up the PS2 version of Revenge. I'll hold off on Legends until it's cheaper.

 

[Baron Aloha]

I'm buying Legends and skipping Revenge.

 

[worldrunover]

I never know when games are coming out anymore. I guess I'll buy the PS2 version in a few days...

 

[Mairu]

Buying Legends & Revenge (XBOX)! And only paying 40$ for both of them! Hooray for having friends who work at EA

 

[VerTiGo]

Have we learned which version of Revenge is the better of the two?

 

[dark10x]

That's the problem, they both have advantages...

There is no clear cut "superior version". :\

 

[Mr_Furious]

I'll be buying both just as long as Fry's puts them both on sale

 

[atomsk]

3 big questions that will ultimitely determine my enjoyment of Revenge that i havent seen answered...

1. can you input your name for crash mode high scores? (like in 2)

2. do custom soundtracks play in crash mode? (also in 2)

3. do you have to set the custom soundtrack every damn time you boot the game, and does it make you pick just one 'album' to play, instead of randomizing them all (like Amped 2 does for example)

i am thankful they made the online ranking system better. i was sick of not playing for months, and then racing against people ranked rather high, beating them, and it not having an effect on my score

 

[VerTiGo]

Well, I guess that's good to hear. I got rid of my Xbox and I only have the PS2 to play it on. However, I AM thinking about holding out for the Xbox 360 version but Burnout 3 was just so damn awesome I don't know if I can wait!

 

[dark10x]

Damn, I hated the way that worked in multiplayer (in BO2). :\

it gave me a lot more replay value, as my friends and i would often try to outdo each others high score

Yeah, but didn't you have to manually enter the initials everytime you broke a record?

 

[theREBELins]

Just Legends for me this week.
