What time is it?
Terrible is a bit strong but I don't think it is a very good Burnout game. B2 is still my favorite and the dip in quality started with the introduction of traffic checking.

What's worse is that no one seems to be able to replicate Burnout.
They tried with Dangerous Driving but damn is that game shitty. Maybe they get it going with the second one...

Shitty attempt at open world
Love the series till the developers made it a open world racer in paradise then my love for the game stopped, they should have stuck with the formula they had on previous games, cant stand open world racing games, would take a remaster of the older titles anyday, infact burnout revenge was first game i downloaded to my xbox x

I remember there being a huge jump in quality between Burnout 1 to Burnout 2, the high res graphics and progressive scan support on PS2 were quite something back then.
Shame Criterion are nothing but a support studio to EA these days

Dangerous Driving, by some of the original devs.

Open world killed Burnout. Its crazy how many sim racers are there nowadays, with a very obvious single track focus because of realism. But somehow if you are an arcade racer, you MUST be open world. Why? I dont think Burnout or NFS would suffer at all of going back to single track option and ditch the open world. Maybe NFS went too far with it to ever come back but Burnout can. Project Gotham Racing was AMAZING and it wasnt open world.

Never heard of it, is it good?
Couldn't find it in Steam.
According to Wikipedia, the sequel is being prepared but it's expected to be open world... I guess there is only so much they can get out of the original formula.

It is pretty much a level pack for Burnout 3 (though I think it is slightly more stiff), so yes, it is pretty good

Not really. It's full of bugs, the physics are borderline broken, the collision detection is terrible, controls are twitchy, graphics are generic.
It's pretty bad. Just buy Burnout Revenge. It's better in pretty much anything and it's not a cruel joke to your nostalgia.

Thanks!
My discs got stolen a few years back so probably my best option would be getting an xbox and gamepass?

A copy of Burnout Revenge is cheap to obtain. A Digital copy is 10 bucks.

For a physical copy, you need an Xbox with a physical drive. The Series S just plays the digital version.
Gamepass isn't necessary. I am not even sure if it's on there. Gamepass is great, but I wouldn't get it for just one game.

Burnout Paradise was my last platinum trophie.

2021...we haven't had a real entry in 13 years.
I've noticed this guy has a bunch of clickbait videos. Last one there was a thread for this, for Kingdom Hearts and it showed the PS5 label and an image of Kiri underneath it... Even though there aren't even any Kingdom Hearts games on PS5.

2021? PS5?
Anyway, Paradise was a cool game, but the actual racing just wasn't as fun in that open world as on the closed tracks in earlier games (my favorite being Burnout 2).

I'm a subscriber and I have an itch for burnout. My GPU is out of service so it might be the right moment to get an Xbox.

Revenge most certainly isn't a de-evolution.

Burnout 3 is the best! Taking down cars in road rage was so satisfying. Wish it had BC with Xbox one. I know there's Revenge, but they made so many changes (although it is a lot of fun in its own way).

Those Takedown camera shots were addicting and my reason for playing the games.

When Paradise first came out years ago, I didn’t gel with it at all and totally wrote it off. I got it super cheap on a steam sale recently, and me and my son are LOVING it. I can’t believe I slept on it all of this time! I’m hoping Dangerous Driving 2 will end up being good, although updates about the game have gone way dark, and we are far past it’s original release date. I hope it didn’t get nuked!
