Burnout Paradise (still going)

Burnout Paradise, a great game that was released in January 22, 2008. A truly outstanding game that when released blew away the majority of all Burnout fans. The graphics of the game runs at 60 frames per second, while rendering at 720p. Even though there is no 1080i or 1080p support, this is still, without a doubt, one of the best running engines the generation has seen thus far. Burnout Paradise renders so much all in one time, that it's absolutely mind boggling that I've yet to experience the least bit of slow-down in the game - the framerate never bogs below 60. The game itself is full of fun winding roads with off track shortcuts and massive jumps that leave you thinking damn. The game definitley satisfies and with a whole city to drive around you are always finding new jumps and shortcuts. For those interested I have included a video on how the Criterion team put together Paradise city.

Criterion games has definitley succeded in creating one of the best PS3 racing game to date and the amount of updates have further upclassed the game. The weather now changes from sunny to cloudy and even night time all the while pulsing out that wonderful frame rate. New cars and Toy cars (smaller versions) and even bikes were added. The diversity increased with these updates along with the smart and obvious decision of making the updates free. The addition of motorbikes left myself dazzled at how they had finally made the leap of adding bikes to a once all car racing game. Even more suprising was that the addition fitted smoothly into the game and was great fun to use.

Even now Criterion games has revealed images of a whole new island that will be downloadable to the game. The above picture is one of these images while the rest can be found at the Criterion games website. A new island is a massive leap forward for Criterion and will present Burnout fans with a whole lot more to explore in the already massive city. One problem that may discourage many though is the fact that this island addtion will come at a cost. The download will require some of your hard earned cash but in my view a few dollars will definitley be worth this great update. Criterion may have even more planned for Burnout Paradise but in the mean time I am sure that a whole new island will keep fans happy for some time. I congratulate the Team at Criterion on their work and look forward to further updates and games in the future.

zerojay6176d ago

Your blog has something wrong. Burnout DOES indeed support 1080i. They released it as part of an update early in 2008.

krouse936175d ago

Yea it does support 1080i it came in with the Cagney update i think.

macalatus6176d ago

With the addition of PS3 Trophies and custom soundtrack, this game became way better than when it first came out.

Snoozer2826175d ago

It's a game that gets better and better. I should really continue my 'career.'

jaseo6175d ago

kudos to criterion.. (blah to EA)

the toy cars are really fun!

krouse936175d ago

what makes them different i havent got any of the burnout paid DLC yet.

Redempteur6173d ago

well it's simple ..for now the paid Dlc ( the new cars legend and toys ) ARE expendable .. What i mean is that you don't have to buy them ..
but you can take the packs if you wish to see some cars behave différently ...

the back to the future car is something else ...
same with the knigh rider car ... they're différent ...it's the feeling when you drive with them ( haven't tried the others ).. a good thing is that beside the fact that they have great stats .. the game does not feel broken if you play with them ..

i don't know if i was able to explain correctly what i feel when i use these cars but i don't feel like i wasted my money with these two ..

Ps: criterion , a new island is fine BUT don't put the price too high, ok ?

I love that they’re including these. It was fun running through the Remake just shredding fools and going through the story again. Looking forward to another run with Rebirth on Xbox for the 1000/1000.

I want the opposite, I want them to add full on menus for randomizers, pure solo runs and other things that'll give more challenge.
