VG To-do:

Someone should write some stuff about Burnout 4 in here.

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

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)

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)

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

[edit] Clean up Achievements

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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Burnout Revenge.jpg

Image:Burnout Revenge.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

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)

— 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)

[edit] Survey

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 ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Support. --MrStalker talk 12:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)

[edit] Madden Bus

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)

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)
