Burnout Paradise is finally back with these five new images from the PS3 version of the game. With a big free roaming city, I can't wait to see that game in action.
I just realised I can just ignore Unfettered. My life will be so much happier from now on! :O
Actually, I salute Criterion's desire to sort of go to a new place with Burnout. I loved the series in the past, and I think it absolutely peaked already at 2, which is also why I feel there's really not much you can do with the series in that shape besides... I dunno.. more glass and bent cars during crashes? Avoiding growing stale, they're picking the series up and running with it, and while it's discouraging that it's using very familiar buzzwords to describe itself (reminders of NFS), I think the fact that it's Burnout will still very much shine through in its sheer intensity.
I think the fact that the series in the past has been so much about adrenaline poses a lot of questions about how you keep a free roaming game action packed, and it's sort of in believing Criterion might pull that off that I find it interesting. Hopefully, getting into races and stuff will be tons less cumbersome than it traditionally has been in games of this type.
Meanwhile it's my hopes that they'll continue with their "classic" series of Legends and Dominator on less advanced hardware, just to keep the gameplay of 2-4 around.

the only thing that those games have in common are that you control a car. Gameplay wise they are all very different. And you left out the best one, Project Gotham 4.
Burnout died when number 3 came out.
yeah sure gameplay is different, but its mostly still the same: drive from point X to Y or drive x rounds on track Y and ALWAYS try to be first (get gold) to get all archievements and so on. that means you have to play alot :D Sure on flatout is this carnage mode which reminds me of crazy taxi 3 a bit, but this also gets boring after some rounds IMHO. and i played (own) all of the games i mentioned above(also PG4). i just wanted to state how it gets boring to me, same as WW2 games :p
Maybe racing games arent my favs anymore :/
Even Gears of war has this many jaggies unless you are talking about the screenshots done outside of gameplay or the cutscenes where they increase the details.
The screens look amazing. But I only hope they'll return to their roots, I prefered Burnout 2.
All the sequels were boring and to much of... yeah, to much... to much of all...!
Hope they'll keep an eye on gameplay and athmosphere, not only on effects and destruction.

Oh yeah, that's the ticket. Make a public display of burying your head in the sand. Yeah, that oughta make ol' Unfettered stop laughing at Sony's expense . . .
Well burnout is dead to me right now cuz Ea messing up this classic game, since played all previous burnout games even revenge on 360 pwnz it 10 x, but now its going ala Nfs-free roaming crap, so give us a demo before ill pass judgment over this game cuz not into free roaming all just point and click then get racing.
BTW whats wit the freakin jaggies!! man seems like its own trademark over Ps2 jaggies hurts my eyes, give us 360 screenies!

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)

Commented on 2007-06-28 14:33:37Seriously, this should still be a cracking game, especially if they include the team crash junction mode from 2!
