The wait is almost over now

Rikucrafter · Mar 14, 2018

I loved this game on PS3. I wish I still had our family racing wheel.

I'm probably going to hold off on this until its a bit cheaper since the improvements aren't immediate (and no big changes overall) but this is definitely on my radar.

I'd like to be taken down to Paradise City.

Deleted member 4541 · Mar 14, 2018

Can't wait to get off work Friday! I loved what I played of this last gen, but barley scratched the surface.

LucidMomentum · Mar 14, 2018

HEY HEY YOU YOU

YuriLowell · Mar 14, 2018

I really hope that this game convinces EA to make another Burnout game.

KalBalboa · Mar 14, 2018

$31.99 on Amazon... So tempting.

Bishop89 · Mar 14, 2018

TAKE ME HOOOMEE YEH!

BMW · Mar 14, 2018

Still my top 5 game cover art ever.

Deleted member 3888 · Mar 14, 2018

did they tone down the bloom (I hope they did :P) or are the screenshots just taken at a different time/weather?

Agent X · Mar 14, 2018

I was initially excited about this announcement, but after seeing the lackluster effort put into this so-called "remaster", I can comfortably say I'll pass on this one.

36 Chambers · Mar 14, 2018

Id love to support this game, I really would. But I really didnt like Paradise. I loved Takedown and Revenge but i never thought the open world formula worked for Burnout. I feel like to ever even get a chnce at a new Burnout or a Revenge remaster I have to buy this :/

Neptonic · Mar 14, 2018

oh shit I just realized that people will play the multiplayer now

Staal · Mar 14, 2018

The impressions from Jeff on the Bombcast were really good. I am excited again.

AbandonedTrolley · Mar 14, 2018

I think more effort went in to this thread than the remaster itself.....

Cornbread78 · Mar 14, 2018

I added a sample of the soundtrack in the OP.

Man, I forgot just how great that soundtrack was!

Snarfington · Mar 14, 2018

I'm buying this just to see the multiplayer busy as hell. I can't wait for it. Haven't played it in 8 or so years, very excited to revisit. Burnout Paradise is my favourite racer of all time by a LOOONG shot.

StallionDan · Mar 14, 2018

Can you create custom soundtrack using your own music like in the original?

New Fang · Mar 14, 2018

People have been claiming this remaster is just an "upres" and "just the PC version ported" to the new consoles. Digital Foundry says they're wrong.

https://youtu.be/S64jAFeAFCw

Curious to find out the native res on PS4 Pro. It's native 4K on XB1X.

Fuzzy · Mar 14, 2018

$40 US but it's also $40 CAD (which is only $31 US). :)

Dylan · Mar 14, 2018

As long as I can turn off that soundtrack and the radio DJ, I'm all in.

From everything said/posted it's pretty much a prettier "cut & paste" version of the original, so all original features other than the camera trophies are in.

HypedBulborb · Mar 14, 2018

Excited!

Kylo Rey · Mar 14, 2018

Switch version please :(
Imagine Burnout on handeld!

You got it:

I'm kidding by the way:)

This seems like it would look pretty damn good on the Switch. Not sure why EA didn't include it.

FSmallhands · Mar 14, 2018

I really didn't / still dont get the love for this game.

Every other burnout was head and shoulders above this due to one simple fact, open world racing is possibly the most annoying thing ever.

The remaster cannot escape the core gameplay being frustrating and tedious in equal measure.

Soulstoner · Mar 14, 2018

Played the EA Access version last night. Looks sharp and plays great. I don't care if it's a lazy port, it's still incredibly satisfying.

I got the full game early and after 30 hours of playing it certainly feels like an upres and nothing else on XB1S at least, there's even still bugs present from last gen versions.

Aside from that, playing challenges again has been alot of fun, I really hope we get a sequel.

Deleted member 13798 · Mar 14, 2018

One of my least favorite post-Burnout 3 games, but I'm getting it day one because holy shit do I miss Burnout.

TacomaSCDisaster · Mar 14, 2018

I'm gonna make a Spotify playlist of my favorite tracks from 3, Revenge and Paradise just for this.

I had more fun with Paradise than 3 and Revenge whether that's playing offline or online with friends.

I love the sandbox design from the races to just fooling around doing stunts or doing collectibles. What's not to get??

Also your opinion isn't "fact" lmao

Deleted member 18347 · Mar 14, 2018

Love Burnout a lot since the very first game and played Paradise to death back in the day... However I don't see a reason to get this as it barely improves anything over the original.

:(

Ya, its not a straight port thats for sure, while I was happy to see some minute changes, things like LOD pop and such are still present which can ruin a couple of the new effects they do use. Nicer textures here and there. In the end the old gameplay folks love or hate is there which is cool though.

TerremotoDePorta · Mar 14, 2018

Got it preordered, time to spend a whole weekend crashing fools and barrel-rolling everywhere!

If you want a PS4 EU pal for the challenges add me, PSN name is TerremotoDePorta

Same. I played that game so much, and basically used it as a party chat room, but I don't see why I wouldn't just boot it up on PS3 if I wanted to play it again. It still looks good, and it's basically the same game.

I hope y'all have fun without me, though. Especially those of you playing for the first time.
There's so much stuff to do, and Big Surf Island is a great level.

I miss those arcade racers.

RacerBest · Mar 14, 2018

All the pictures under "screens" in OP are from the old versions of the game instead of the Remaster excluding the first picture. And for the second picture I think you meant to use this picture instead:

Anyways, looking forward to friday, going to get this on PS4. Burnout Paradise is one of my favourite games of all time.

jelly · Mar 14, 2018

I wish they fixed the mini map, it's archaic. Should always face the way you are going.

The open world aspect of Paradise required much more precise maneuvering, and a single error in recognizing which turn to take at break neck speeds could result in catastrophic consequences.

I myself loved the challenge, and if you have a positive mindset about it all the learning curve ain't so bad.

With that said, 3 and Revenge are more fun for the simple fact they are what Burnout is all about in the purest form. Races are linear, so all that's left for the player to focus on is going as fast as possible while wrecking everything in sight.

They were all under the "remaster" captions. I think the problem might be in having to resize them all instead of putting them in quotes because of the forum software.

Agreed, listening to Jeff made me excited to go back.

Agreed. It is annoying, lol. I love the series so I'm happy to at least get this remastered version; hopefully is a sign for more to come.

Nerdkiller · Mar 14, 2018

I thought we agreed that the tagline for the thread title should be "I think you need a new one".

Marengo · Mar 14, 2018

Was Paradise the one with ~5 different versions of that Avril Lavigne tune, Girlfriend? I think one was in Japanese...

Edit: nevermind, I'm thinking of Dominator

Filipus · Mar 14, 2018

Was a bigger fan of burnout revenge but this seems cool.
The real question is, how different is this from the PC version that was released before?

Probably buying for my son and myself.
It's too much fun and he never played it.

Watch the Digital Foundry video. It compares the One X version to the PC version of the original.

panama chief · Mar 14, 2018

Game seems to be getting a ton of hate on the price/value but I give no fucks. My son and I are headed down to paradise city. See XboxEra online!!

I'm confusing Burnout Dominator with Paradise. From Wikipedia;

The song is featured on the soundtrack to the video game Burnout Dominator in four different languages which includes Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin and English. The song is also featured in Burnout Paradise which only includes the English Version.
