Yep it true. The servers for 360 were shutdown on Oct 24 2017 after almost 12 years. It had a good run and Im thankful for the memories!This game is truly legendary nothing else like it especially online play is so competitive. We can only hope for a remaster of this in the future.
Omg I recognize some of those names!!!!! On PS2 I remember I used to play Rank back in the day. I remeber the top 1 player was Brazilian named Fabrizzio. My tag was SolidVic and I used to play with him, my rank was mostly top 30s and 20s. The highest rank I acheived was rank 13. I remember on the top 5 there were 2 americans and 1 french. I cant remember names well anymore. Its been over 12 years now! I cant remember if it was 17 years ago. Lol some 1 do the math!! But I know is over 12 years ago atleast! For me its probably 15 to 16 years ago.
I don’t believe burnout (let alone any game with online features at the time) had cross platform servers. But a lot of people probably switched between their Xbox and PlayStation accounts. Xbox had the bigger and faster community of racers between takedown and revenge. You might be able to search up a few of their RU-vid channels if you add on their tag during the search
@@Destroyermix67 I totally believe you, because I remember on ps2 many accounts on the top leaderboards were inactive. And I always wanted to play against every single top player to prove my self and see how good were people and to prove how good I was. I remember playing with about half the names, while I loged online every single day, for long months, I could not play with half of the other names so I was really sad. Then I stopped compeeting or tryharding. I remember what made me retiere from game was that one day I was playing with an ingame friend (cant remember name) we were playing for fun vs noobs/low ranked players in the thousands. We were both at top 20s. And then trolling each other at the end of a race, we both collided and crashed in front of finish line. When we spawned, we were 3rd and 4th. Finished race, and all the sudden we lost so many points we were at the top 200s. I could hear his agonizing voice and screaming "NO!" LOL it was so heart breaking, I said good bye and never played the game again xD
Was the ps2 servers same with xbox?? Or were some of this players in the race also had played on ps2!!??? I know I remember seeing those names on leaderboards!!!! and im sure I got to play with some of you!!
destroyer, you are 10 times better than ABOMINATED X, improve yourself psychologically & you can beat him in every race easily! he builds on your crashes otherwise you can beat him everytime!!!
