"When Burnout: Paradise first hit my radar I was cautiously optimistic. Burnout is one of the few racing series that I still care about and I figured Paradise was going to be nothing more than a reincarnation of Burnout: Revenge because, well, it's EA. Boy, did Criterion prove me wrong. This is them at their finest - taking risks, innovating, and shutting people up".
There are some video game locations which hit you right in the feels. Are these the most emotional places in gaming to visit? Jump Dash Roll counts down 9 destinations in today's feature.
Is the OoT screenshot a comp of hyrule field with the Windows Vista desktop layered over the foreground?
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.
I can finally say that after a year and a half of wanting to say that. I love the crashes and the sense of speed. Oh, by the way, that game attach rate is no joke because I now have 6 games for my 360, the two for free and one as a gift for christmas. I bought three but I was holding back because I don't want to go crazy. It could damn well be 10 right now.
I have been playing Burnout Demo (on PS3 ;) ) almost everyday!
I have been trying to beat my flat spin score. currently 313 degrees. I'm trying to reach 400 degrees. lol.
This demo will keep me playing until the full game releases. Can't wait.
Bring on BURNOUT ,,,
This game is AWSOME !! Even the NON-Race fans will love this game. Sandbox approach with killer multiplayer to boot.
I enjoyed the demo so far(360) but right now will wait until release. I am concerned alot of features that made Burnout so fun are missing or changed up. Plus it feels more like Need for Speed Most Wanted with crashes vs Burnout in a Need 4 Speed open world.
I'm looking forward to it...cautiously...
But anyways, submitted a piece similar to this a couple of weeks and it was rejected for being 'Old News'...lovely...
