EA Press Release:
"Burnout Paradise will have you feeling every bump, crash, scrape, and collision using Sony's new Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller with rumble feature for the Playstation 3 . The EasyDrive online friends list keeps the action flowing on the Playstation 3, as players get into a challenge with three easy taps of a button. Once the competition heats up, players can grab snapshots as they rip through opponents and collect candid Mugshots of friends and foes alike using the Playstation Eye. The Xbox 360 version of the game features Mugshots using Xbox Live Vision."
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 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.
Cultured Vultures: The Burnout series has plenty of great games to play, but which one is definitively the best? We're here to rank them all.
I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.
Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.
I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.
After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.
Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.
Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.
No more Need For Speed, it's time to bring back Burnout.
Its long long overdue but the problem is its just not a big money spinner. Thats why EA ditched it. Alex Ward has gone his own way with Three Fields Entertainment & made Dangerous Driving but its very low budget.
Burnout with real life car mechanic costs sounds about right if you want EA to go for it.
Here's the thing, EA is sitting on so many great IPs i would like to return, but at the same thing i feel like modern EA would find a way to ruin it. Besides Respawn, EA hasn't dropped anything good for almost 2 generations IMO.
Absolutely loved these games back in the day. Paradise was good too but didn't quite have the feel of the old games
So.... now they're exactly the same? Both rumble, both have cam-support, and both have cars crashing all realistic style with lots of explosions and no death? Too bad on the no death part. Would make it more intense.
Crashes already looks slightly better on PS3.
you can check out the vids from gamespot if u dont believe me.
Welcome to last gen....
Delaystation3 fans, this is more waiting (you just waited a whole year just for rumble lol) now get your wallets out and all of you buy new pads cos $ONY are skint. Buy two if you really love them. Don't worry, they already know you have more money than sense or you would've bought a 360 :)
Gotta love how the $ONY boys claimed to not need rumble, but they are finally getting it anyway, and they will lap it up. Fools.
LOL
