Talk about a dev team loving their game and their fans. :)

AAACE56479d ago

I played the demo on xbox live and it was OK, but is Burnout paradise really that great?

Not being sarcastic, I have been seriously considering buying this game, but I wanted to ask people who have it already!

Is it worth buying?

Montrealien6479d ago

EA and there money hungry ways, they are the greediest ones around I tell ya!

uhh wait...

ape0076479d ago

criterion=super awesome

paradise rocks

btw guys,when this update gonna release and will it have trophies?

TiKiMaN16479d ago

Yes it should have trophies and it is being released in September. From the sound of things it's looking like early September.

lordv8der6479d ago

The Bikes patch WILL NOT contain trophy support, they will be implementing it soon after the bike have been released. However they will be retroactive, so no need o worry about doing everything again.

sak5006479d ago

Infinity ward take note pls. Doesn't mean if you have a best seller and sit on your butt and charging for 3 useless maps 10$ and no updates after that.

For criterion, havn't touched BP in last few months cuz of the irritating need to memorize the map / street names just to be able to race again in case you lose. That's the one that put me off of it.

TiKiMaN16479d ago

It would be extremely nice if other dev teams would take note and not charge.

Being a PC Gamer as well it has been really nice lately with the map pack for COD4 being free and also "Bring Down the Sky" for Mass Effect being free.

psycho3606479d ago

Yes good points but i guess some rather pay for 3 maps then get free updates as per the disagrees.

Surfman6479d ago

Criterion rocks. Probably the most generous devs. Hey, they give us full of add-ons contents for free. Big add-on and update for free. And few others games let us pay 1 day after a release date of their game for 3 or 4 gears for characters... (SC4)

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

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.

SullysCigar1111d ago

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.

NJShadow1110d ago

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.

EazyC1111d ago

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.

BrainSyphoned1111d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL1111d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander19711111d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

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

camel_toad1760d ago

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

Flewid6381760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1760d ago

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

Flewid6381760d 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.

Chocoburger1760d 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.

ChasterMies1760d ago

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

Xenial1759d ago

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