I believe he meant it terms of DLC support, and Halo doesn't even come close to Burnout in that category.

seriously? 3 map packs and an extra campaign don't come close?

I might just go pick up Burnout Paradise now... and that was a very good, informative discussion on DLC guys.

No, they don't.

Map packs are one thing, but the consistent DLC and support Burnout gets is something else.

One of the reason Halo is the most played game on XBL is because it is like the 360 flagship game. I bet you even if there was only one Map Pack it would either still be number 1 or close to it.

Lono, I'm guessing your comments on the Edge review of Killzone 2 are based off of what everyone else is saying about the matter, as opposed to reading the review yourself. I've heard a few people say the score was on the low side but with a positive review. That just quite simply isn't the case, the review is not wholly negative or completely damning of Killzone 2 but is certainly is not a very positive review.

They did not like the game that much and made it quite clear that they preferred Fear 2. From what I've seen of the demos of both games, I do not agree, but I'll reserve final judgement on Killzone 2 until I've played through a bit more of it.

Can I be She-Ra for the Pink show??

Yes, but if you want to continue the Thundercats theme then you'll want to dress as Mumm-ra, rather than He-man's cousin :grin: Although to be fair you'd look much better in a gold bikini with a big ass sword, than wrapped in bandages and rotting flesh :lol:

Halo 3

Map Pack x3
Extra Campaign

Burnout Paradise

Extra Cars
Motorbikes
Day & Night support
Updated news features
Car Skins
Trophy Support (kinda counts)
Pass the Pad Party Play

And a new Island with Cars to come

You tell me

Also, great show again guys

No, you may not be "She-Ra". The female Thundercat is Cheetara. Well there is also Pumyra, but Cheetara is cooler.:cool2:

Who cares if Burnout Paradise has more DLC then Halo 3? They are both great games and that is all that should matter.

Quick heads up:
The Burnout™ Paradise 1.6 DLC took me about 40 minutes to download yesterday, and I did it in game so I could not 'continue' away from that screen and had GnR singing paradise City over and over and over for 40 minutes.
So you may want to do that when you have a free moment, before you actually want to crash into stuff. :D

I just played God Of War 2 while the Killzone 2 demo was downloading so I didn't really mind the long download time

When they were talking about DLC Doc said Gears was getting a new campaign or something along those lines. Could someone elaborate please?
P.S. Your podcasts are making me really want Burnout Paradise.

Lucky for me I've got Burnout already.
Apparently Criterion says the PS3 version is the one to get.
It was on Geekbox Podcast, I believe. Greg Ford has contacts in Criterion and that is the general concensus.

I do. For all we blame Doc for...I mean...for all the bad stuff he's done, I think we deserve that picture.
:lol:

Who do you think would win? Zombie Dave or Thundercat Dave?

TWO DAVES ENTER, ONE DAVE LEAVES



Got the idea from deadpool's post... and I already had a dave-o prototype lying around so i figured: meh, wth.

Yes, the rumor is that more single player content is on the way.

ok good... the end of the last Gears was terrible. Almost felt like it wasn't finnished and they hurried up the story line to get the game out. I really hope there is more to the story then what ended up happening.

DeadpoolSkye
02-18-2009, 04:08 PM
I think Gears 2 is really Gears 1.5
We joke, but the game screams "I'm not finished" whenever I play it.

Anyon know if the new Burnout cars will be free or not? I believe the new island is for cash, though.

Yah, nobody is talking about how effing horrible the plot and ending of Gears 2 is...

haha, I highly don't believe that. I don't want to get Lono pissed.... but I highly doubt Doc didn't take a picture, whatever picture or not it is still hilarious, that should be Dave's new challenge, dress up for every episode. Keep it up guys! and Truth and Justice should dress up as a Snarf. and Lono should be Mumm-Ra. Nerdy time over...

I wish Doc really did took a pic of Dave and post it up here for us to see! Anyway I fully agree that Burnout Paradise is one game with super long legs. Criterion deserved to be saluted for being supportive of their game and giving their supporters so much contents. I am playing the PC version of Burnout Paradise and I dare say its the best version so far. Unfortunately the PC version is not getting the love it deserves, I hope those who have not gotten the game yet can consider the PC version. We need to build up the PC community too!

That reminds me, did you say there was DLC on the way for Valkyria Chronicles? Haven't seen anything about it, any details?

That's about the length of the show (show maybe a bit shorter). What to do... :tongue:

Well :w00t: - They are already working on a Thundercats movie and the poorly made tie-in game is almost inevitable :roll: Snarf, Snarf

this is the last thing they said about it

Thanks once again Shane - you da man! :cool2: While you link lacks in details, it excels in cosplay! :lol:

Rubenstein from the PSBlog twittered about it, i think accidentally, and then tried to play it off like they had announced it back in November.

But I guess, anything can happen when it comes to SG!

hi guys, great show, have to call you out about Edge though, they're regarded as one of the 'elite' and heavyweight publications around the world, some people think they're too up their own arses now but their opinion carries weight in the gaming industry. The Killzone 2 review was very positive I thought, the slightly lower score seemed to be because the campaign had no real story and, well, just wasn't that much fun in their opinion. The multiplayer could well set new standards though.

Will the winners be announced on tomorrow's Red show, or does the contest run another week?
