IGN - Burnout Crash Isn't What You Expect

IGN - The name Burnout carries a lot of weight for arcade racing fans. The first time I ever played the series, I was floored when I obliterated my car and watched it crumple in slow motion. This destruction was prominently featured in Crash Mode, where speeding your car into traffic added to the overall destructive score in an extremely pleasing, chaotic fashion. Developer Criterion Games has switched gears on the series, stripped the iconic mode to its bare bones, changed the perspective, and is sending it to consoles this fall in downloadable form. Meet Burnout Crash.

What in the blue hell did I read?

Yi-Long4683d ago

... I wouldn't even play this if it would have been a free Flash-game.

They should just release Burnout 3 HD on XBLA/PSN instead.

@Yi-long

A burnout 3 remake with the new crash deformation system :)

Ares844683d ago

I'm sorry but this looks terrible. They should have made another Burnout by now. Paradise was amazing, I was hoping for another Burnout game like that but bigger and better.

nopunctuation4683d ago

Yeah im pretty disappointed. I thought this was a real sequel and not some DLC looking game. Paradise is still great but I got the platinum a long time ago and I want something new. No other racing game has had the same impact this generation for me.

Darkseeker4683d ago

Burnout 6 is in the work, but that's the only info we have, that it's in the work.

Guess it will take a long time to release, since until Need for Speed Hot Pursuit was released, Criterion was using most of their ressources on that game.

They probably just started to work on Burnout 6 after NFS HP was released.

Baka-akaB4682d ago

unlikely with NFS HP2 in the works

Darkseeker4682d ago

There is no sequel for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit in the work and even if there was, pretty sure Burnout 6 was announced before, so wouldn't change anything.

madpuppy4683d ago

Criterion can keep this festering pile of swine offal!! They must be addled! just an HD version of Burnout 3 would have sold better!

MaverickStar74683d ago (Edited 4683d ago )

I thought it looked like Taffic Rush on my iphone, but its more of the opposite of that. Create an accident instead of avoid one.

iWishTifaWasReal4682d ago

they shouldve just named it CRASH
instead of Burnout Crash

that i can move one

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1010d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381010d ago (Edited 1010d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381010d ago (Edited 1010d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1010d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381010d ago

That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.

Chocoburger1010d ago

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.

ChasterMies1010d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1010d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol
