[edit]

Someone should write some stuff about Burnout 4 in here.

Burnout Revenge is Burnout 4.smurrayinchester 19:19, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The answer to the puzzled gamer: The song is 'Sink that ship' by the Kaiser Chiefs. It was not included on the album, but as an A-side on 'I predict a riot'.Lipzydude 19:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have got burnout revenge and reached elite so i am famous and good so lets talk about burnout and give me cheats.posted on december 2006. Anyone know imformation/stuff about burnout dominator.On 19th december 06. Bold text Bodeth III: There should be more info on the 360 version of the game, listing what changes between the PS2/Xbox versions and the 360 version.

I would imagine that the only changes be the online play and polished graphics. Douglasr007 00:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot more changes between the 360 and PS2/Xbox versions of the game than you think. There are new crash junctions, some of the events were changed, and new cars were added. But most importantly, the online mode was been completely revamped. There's so much new stuff online, the 360 version deserves a separate page. - lorX2

Clean up Achievements

[edit]

I added all the achievements but it looks pretty sloppy. I'm not terrific at layout, so I would appreciate it if someone could clean it up. Thanks. Ledzeppelin19 21:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result was no consensus. Issue taken to project page. --MrStalker talk 15:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

— Burnout is the series title and Revenge, Legends, Dominator and Paradise are subtitles, as such the naming should look like "Burnout: subtitle". Also take a look at Burnout 2: Point of Impact and Burnout 3: Takedown which are named this way. —MrStalker talk 12:56, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~.

Discussion

[edit]
Any additional comments:
  • Oppose - the spine of Burnout Revenge's game box and its manual never use a colon in the name of the game, the game is always referred to as Burnout Revenge. The same goes for Burnout Dominator. By contrast, Burnout 3: Takedown has a colon both on the game box and when referred to in the manual. Those articles at least are currently named correctly. (Those are the only Burnout games I own, I don't know about the others) - MTC 17:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see any colon on the Burnout 3 box, where do you see that? Anyway, it's common usage to seperate the serie's title from the game's "unique" title. E.g. Need for Speed: ProStreet is often not refered to with a colon in text but is named with a colon nontheless. When the title in the game's logo is seperated by a linebreak and/or significantly different typeface it's common represent that with a colon. --MrStalker talk 18:28, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The spine of my UK-bought PS2 Burnout 3 box says "Burnout®3: Takedown™"[1], obviously the ™ and ® shouldn't be included in an article title but I see no reason to leave out the colon, and that's not what you're proposing anyway is it? The "common usage" you speak of is only true for some, not all game series; the Tony Hawk's for example doesn't use colons. In fact while looking through some of the games I own, it seems quite a few articles use colons when they shouldn't. Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines/Naming#Games says the official name should always be used, and the official name is usually the name given on the spine of the game box with ™ symbols removed as necessary. - MTC 18:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm not proposing to remove the colon, which pretty obvious if you look above. Tony Hawk's is an exeption because you have to consider grammar, "Tony Hawk's" is a genitive. Also, if you look at the logo you can also see that "Tony Hawk's" is given equally much space as the subtitle. If you go "by the spine", there's a lot of articles that must be moved. The common usage I speak of is true for all articles I can remember coming across. --MrStalker talk 20:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the featured articles at WP:VG, I can't find one that doesn't seperate subtitles from the series title with a colon. MobyGames also uses "Burnout: Revenge". --MrStalker talk 21:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's entirely possible that all the games listed there that do include a colon also include it in the official name. I can't check any of them myself as I don't own any of the games listed there, but I can see that the Legend of Zelda series includes a colon on the one game in the series that I own.
I still see no reason to disregard both the WP:VG naming conventions (whcih state the official name should be used) and the official manuals and boxes of the games in question, none of which use colons. It can't be denied that the official names don't use colons and we should go with that. - MTC 06:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have copied this discussion to this page. --MrStalker talk 11:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Madden Bus

[edit]

You get the madden bus by watching the trailer for Madden in the Xbox 360 version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.240.159 (talk) 00:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you also get it if you have a save file for the Madden game (can't remember wich one). Unsigned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.23.91.242 (talk) 18:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crashbreaker

[edit]

I have been wondering why the Crashbreaker is not mentioned in this. It is really what sets this game apart from the other games in the series. Burnout Revenge was the first game to introduce the Crashbreaker into normal races. The entire premise of the game is, in a way, focused on the Crashbreaker. The ability to detonate your car to take out rivals after a crash. It's what made the game what it is. Request adding it to the "Gameplay" section or even the introductory paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.104.78 (talk) 05:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added a bit about it. L337 kybldmstr (talk) 22:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3rd best game

[edit]

In a Playstation Magazine, the game ranked 3rd in the Playstation 2 Top 100 Games, with #2 being Resident Evil 4 and #1 being GTA: Vice City, should this be mentioned in the article? i can't find any sources for it in the Internet or Google, but it shows the Top 100 games of the PS2 in the magazine, near the back-SCB '92 (talk) 21:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WRONG

[edit]

"Burnout Revenge is the fourth video game in the Burnout series of racing games, released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on September 13, 2005, alongside the PlayStation Portable-exclusive title Burnout Legends."

It is also for the Nintendo DS. I will change this. LuGiADude (talk) 15:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]

I propose to merge the article List of songs from Burnout Revenge and Burnout Legends due to lack of notability with sources, the soundtrack also didn't have it own soundtrack release and could be easy merged in the main article with a collapsible table like Burnout Paradise. TheDeviantPro (talk) 07:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Smiling Friends

[edit]

The game was recently referenced in a new episode of Smiling Friends but edit warring on the Wikipedia page has prevented there from being a Cultural References subsection on the article. The page for the Smiling Friends TV series even mentions the game in the description for the episode "A Allan Adventure" and it's considered "unsourced."

the quote is "I was just wondering if you wanted to HANG out with me and smoke weed and fill our bellies with DIET soda and play Burnout Revenge for the PS2." ChaseTOM4YT (talk) 00:12, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
