Burnout 5 is Paradise

IGN reports that the new trailer and a handful of screenshots accompany the press release for the recently titled Burnout Paradise and the game is scheduled for release this winter on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Turning to the trailer and screens it's apparent that the game has a phenomenal lighting engine with an immense draw distance and busy streets. Burnout Paradise will certainly be the prettiest Burnout we've ever seen, and Criterion promises it'll also be the most brutal.

If you take a good look at this game and the cars....IT LOOKS LIKE F@CKING NEED FOR SPEED:CARBON!......Seriously.. .And need for speed:carbon just pissed off all around...DAMN YOU EA GAMES AND YOUR MAINSTREAM BARELY UP TO PAR BORROWED GRAPHICS AND PHYSIC'S!!!!!!!!!!

Somethnnew186955d ago

Take a close look..This ain't no Cinematic Gameplay...As far as I can tell...These are in game graphics....If not...Then it should be damn near....Tell me I'm wrong about calling out the fact that it looks like NFSC.....????

MK_Red6955d ago

"Burnout ripoff of NFS!!????" This is the craziest and most inaccurate thing I've ever heard. It is NFS who is ripping off other like Midnight Club and Burnout.
And boy, the name suits the game. A paradise for Burnout and racing fans.

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.

SullysCigar1103d 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.

NJShadow1102d 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.

EazyC1103d 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.

BrainSyphoned1103d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1103d ago

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

Einhander19711103d 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_toad1752d ago

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

Flewid6381752d ago (Edited 1752d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381752d ago (Edited 1752d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1753d ago

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

Flewid6381752d 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.

Chocoburger1752d 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.

ChasterMies1752d ago

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

Xenial1752d ago

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