Burnout Paradise - The Solution To Need For Speed Fans' Problems

AutoGaming writes: "If you have been one of those hard code Need For Speed fans, and I mean from back in the days of NFS1 and NFS2 Special Edition, you would have realized that EA has taken the game into a totally different direction. Before the announcement of the recent 3 new NFS titles, the last few (including Undercover) were mostly a major flop. Also, after seeing some of the screens from the titles, and reading the concept behind these 3 new racers, some are still saying that EA really could never (or just don't know how to) return to their roots."

I like Need for Speed Hot pursuit. Game was great for its time, yet Undercover sucked.... I thought the COP A.i. was horrible in comparison to a 5 year old PS2 game

Speed-Racer6300d ago

I agree. I think they tried too hard at making undercover like the older titles, that they forgot to put some brains into the game as well.

XboxOZ3606300d ago

The old need for fans are going to be disappointed with the next console iteration, because they are going for the simulation crowd...

If they want their arcade hit they are going to have to go to the Wii (NFS: Nitro) or the PC (NFS: World Online).

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.

SullysCigar1115d 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.

NJShadow1114d 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.

EazyC1115d 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.

BrainSyphoned1115d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1115d ago

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

Einhander19711115d 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_toad1764d ago

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

Flewid6381764d ago (Edited 1764d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381764d ago (Edited 1764d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1764d ago

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

Flewid6381764d 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.

Chocoburger1764d 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.

ChasterMies1764d ago

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

Xenial1763d ago

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