Burnout Paradise Announced.


Recommended Posts

Well this was lovely news to wake up to! EA today officially announces a brand new entry in the Burnout series for next generation consoles, called Burnout Paradise, the artist formerly known as Burnout 5. It's the same crashing, smashing, and indeed bashing fun of the Burnout series, transferred into a pony-farming, open world environment. Drive anywhere, crash anything. Sounds absolutely divine.
It sounds sort of like the open-endedness you get in games like Need for Speed Carbon, only with the much more explosive action of the Burnout series. You'll have free reign in Paradise City, where the grass is green and Guns and Roses most likely gets some sort of royalties. Can't name the place that without having the theme song to go with it.
GET READY TO BREAK THE RULES - PARADISE IS COMING!

EA INVITES DANGEROUS DRIVERS TO BURNOUT PARADISE THIS WINTER

 

Guildford, UK - April 30, 2007 - Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the title for the revolutionary new Burnout™ videogame currently in development for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360™ videogame system. Players will be able to take their dangerous driving experience to a whole new level when Burnout™ Paradise is unleashed this winter.

 

Burnout Paradise proves that crashing is awesome! Next generation technology has enabled an unprecedented level of crash deformation allowing you to experience the most explosive pile-ups in the series' history. Now the development team can realise their original vision for the Burnout franchise: an open world environment where you can do anything, anywhere, anytime!

 

"We have been working towards Burnout Paradise for quite some time. Next generation consoles have opened up a raft of new gameplay opportunities and the Criterion team has leapt at the chance to innovate and raise the bar to an all-new high," said Pete Hawley, Executive Producer, Burnout Paradise. "There are going to be some big surprises and a lot of new features but the core of the game is still pure Burnout. Instant accessibility will be reinforced by innovative on-line capabilities which will see Burnout Paradise smash racing conventions.''

 

Feel the adrenaline course through your veins as you take to the road for the first time in Paradise City, where the action is all around you. Explore the city, discover events, and look for the best opportunities to crash, jump and pull signature takedowns. In Burnout Paradise you're given the keys to the city, but it's up to you to earn the keys to the meanest and most dangerous cars on the street, and earn your Burnout licence.

Looks, interesting, however I'm not too sure how this pony-farm element will affect the gameplay and race style.

But what I do know is; those screenshots would make some nice sigs.

 

EDIT: dozingoff.gif Stupid word filter; replace Pony-Farm with maor-eerf backwards.

ponyfarm, thats cool. not sure how it'll work in burnout though? burnout was all about in a tight street and crashing into cars and everything, this just doens't seem closed in enough. maybe they'll just sections off areas of the city during the races and leave the whole place open when you're bored?

 

killswitch on soundtrack ftw too

Blackadder.

Thats funnym awhile ago there was an interview, and the guy said

 

"Will you have free--roam?"

 

and the guy responded

 

"We are trying to be ahead of the pack, not trailing behind"

 

Where are they now? dozingoff.gif

 

james_root: Maybe, considering EA publish both games, Criterion would be allowed to use it.

Looks pretty nice, hopefully it's better than Burnout... umm... that one that comes after revenge. It was so bad that I forgot it's name.

 

I also hope the soundtrack has more heavy metal and etc because the punk soundtracks of the last games had me turning the music volume to 0. =\

 

Looks alright though, if we're lucky they took a few hints from TDU... would be nice to have random vehicular battles on the streets.

yeah the game was named after the top car in every class in burnout 3. the cars that were black and had flames.

This is going to be SO awesome to play online. hopefully they have pony-farm online. a combination of the insane amount of fun of burnout revenge online, and the insane amount of fun with cat and mouse in test drive unlimited. imaging playing wall tag, pushing somebody into a wall and running, to have them chase you down and return the favor.

 

oh god, pony farm online burnout would be positively orgasmic. i am gettin a woodie thinkin about it.

Gotta love the Guns & Roses reference, yeah I am not sure how the free roam aspect will work but all I know is multiplayer will be a total hoot in this format. Burnout is the only series of games I get a real buzz out of, its just so much fun.
