Electronic Arts-owned game developer Criterion Studios has always had a vision of what they wanted their best-selling Burnout franchise to be, but before PLAYSTATION®3, the team was never able to bring this vision to gamers.
Alex Ward, Creative Director at Criterion Studios, was showcasing the PS3 version of Burnout Paradise at EA's Redwood Shores Studio Showcase. He said the new game is making the most of the technology under the hood of the PS3 system.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do I smell another better Multi-plat PS3 game...COD4..DMC4..now Burnout..
crap at this rate..Madden 09 will be better also...lol
I can not wait for this demo...that is like next week right?
I keep forgetting about this awesome game... Also GTA4 was developed on the PS3 and then ported to the Xbox 360...
wow news must be really slow if people are linking to the playstation US homepage... next up articles from xbox.com
A game that's developed on the PS3 and still looks good on the 360. Criterion are not pathetic lazy devs like all those buffoons at EA this year. EA is publishing the game but Criterion makes games their way and I'm glad a studio recognizes the true potential of the PS3 hardware. The next few years will see a trend where devs shift from 360 to the PS3 as the lead platform for making much better games.
There are still a few more games that are coming out next year that were 360 lead so we should be cautious and buy them only if they're COD4 good.
If you read the article the devs mention that they actually use the cell to the fullest. I can't wait to see what they've done when they let their imaginations loose.
