Burnout Paradise, the first truly next-gen installation of the fast-paced racing franchise, is still months and months away. It's not slated to drop in the US and Europe until sometime in the fourth quarter this year, but EA have already decided what it's going to look like on store shelves. The boxes for the European versions have been released, both showing a rather sadly dilapidated Porsche-esque car.

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.
can't wait for this game. Going to be fantastic on PS3.
@ SuperSaiyan - im aware that this will also be released on xb360. Criterion says that PS3 has more power to make Burnout even more spectacular. Especially when the cars collide. Xb360 will also be brilliant but not so spectacular.
Don't believe me? check further in N4G.
Should be awesome on 360 as well.
Since EA like only to use their own servers it would be even better to get to play PS3 vs 360 gamers lol.
Edit: Devs have been talking the talk saying all ports i.e. FNR3 and other games will look far better but they haven't.
Lets wait and see...
This game will be made first on the PS3 then gets ported to the 360 although releasing at the same time.
Cant wait for Burnout Paradies but didn't they release the box arts 3 months ago?
Why do you think the game will be down scaled? Can you break it down in an inteligent and relevant way or are you just spewing fan boy dribble?
