SquareXO Writes: It’s always difficult to review remastered games, especially in the case of Burnout Paradise, a game which I put so much time into that I probably wore out a few controllers along the way. So what better way to review the remaster than to capture the excitement I had the first time around.
Stellar Entertainment is working on a fresh AAA arcade racing title, and not-so-subtly hinting it could be a new Burnout.
I hope it’s not another open world snore fest. Burnout 3 was the pinnacle of the series with tight and focused events that didn’t have you pausing to look at a map every 10 seconds.
Totally agree I loved the series then Paradise killed it for me. It was well made but I didn't like it at all. It's the perfect game for simply choosing a race from a list, an open world slows momentum and is a waste of resources.
I loved the hell out of Paradise. Some of the most fun I've had playing with friends, and with the amount active lobbies when it was around, some people liked it. It's not gonna be the same game with every entry forever. Things change. And you honestly can't single out that game as the downfall of the series when we all know EA franchises and studios are always on the chopping block.
Yeah, gotta disagree with you, paradise was actually a fun open world game in a world full of boring open worlds, the online integration was good, the vehicle variety, the road variety, music, the crashes, using the camera to take mugshots! 🙈
That's not saying I wouldn't like a Burnout 3 style game, I'd still enjoy that too but wouldn't mind another open world if they did it right like they did with paradise
Did anyone want the map though? Did it push the series forward or kill it? It was the last Burnout game so maybe that answers that question.
Absolutely can’t get into Paradise. Have it on multiple platforms and it’s just cumbersome compared to the originals. I want to come home, jump into a few events, and as soon as one is completed, pick another one from a menu immediately. Nice and tight, no filler.
Agreed. Burnout 2, 3 and Revenge were simply amazing games. Put so much time into them... Paradise was a fun game, for sure. But it definitely lost a lot of the magic when it transitioned to open world.
You can still play Burnout Revenge on Series S/X via backwards compatibility. Still available on the Xbox Store.
Strangely, Burnout 3 isn't backwards compatible.
Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.
I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.
On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.
I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.
I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.
I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.
Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car
Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

Wow!!! never played Burnout , look exciting compare to need for speed last 3 Crapfest game's.
how can a 10 year old game get the nintendo score of 10/10? a bit much fanboyism, no? a 5/10 in 2018 should be the rating. there are much better racers out there these days.
I platinumed paradise on ps3, but since this is basically a PC port and EA is attached I won't be giving them a penny for this. Might buy a used copy later, but I can't support EA anymore
I'm sorry you cant give a game a perfect ten and then have a list of cons.
I don't know how a remaster that was not built from the ground up for the capabilities of this generation's console gets a 10/10. Last of Us and Gears of War Ultimate are the gold stars for remasters this generation. Every other remaster should be measured on the standard...
My understanding is that this is more a port of a good game then it is a remaster. Going forward it would be nice if Port, Remaster, and Remake were defined and then followed by the industry.
Capcom ported deadriisings and resident evils to this generation. EA ported burnout paradise to this generation. A remaster should mean that they went in and re-did the graphics of the game to the current generation from the ground up (More objects, greater fidelity, upgraded shading, etc.). Remakes are when the game gets remade from the ground up... Final Fantasy VII, Shadow of the Colossus.
