New Burnout Game Revealed By Ratings Board?

In case you were worried, Burnout isn’t dead. IP owner and publisher of the franchise, EA, has been keen on teasing this fact in the past, but now a smidgen of evidence has emerged to support the existence of a new game in the franchise. The Australian Classification Review Board, a service similar to the US’ ESRB, has rated a brand new Burnout title dubbed “Burnout Crash,” a PG-rated joint set to be published by EA.

And, well, that’s all we know for sure at moment. As for speculation, though, there’s a lot of that out there. On the developer front, it’s been suggested in the past that Criterion, now fresh off the release of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, could be resuming its work on the Burnout series with this new title. Criterion is of course the studio behind all the Burnout games, and did an especially good job with the last iteration, Burnout Paradise. And while you’d figure that Criterion would just be slated to work on the next NFS title considering the praise Hot Pursuit has received, it's been strongly suggested by EA’s Partrick Soderlund that Black Box is the next in line to give the NFS series a spin.

Oh god I hope so.

I'm callin' it: downloadable Burnout featuring ONLY crash mode.

First I was all :o then I was all :D
 
Burnout Paradise was/is my favorite game of all time.

Read that last night.  I hope it's true.  :)
 
Speaking of Burnout, I still need to get Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

YES YES YES YES YES 
 
Please let this be true.

Crash mode in Burnout was fun; but not looking forward for it to be a stand alone game. 
 
Besides, even if I loved Burnout Paradise, I found it to be a good 'good-bye' game which sent the franchise off on a positive note. I'd rather remember all the fun I had with Burnout up-to, and including, Burnout Paradise than to remember how EA started to cash in on the franchise by letting sub-par developers make iPhone games of it. 
  
Also; Need For Speed: Burnout would be great. :) 

I thought some new information had been added, but no. Just a late post that adds nothing.
 
Does GB even need a news section? Sure if was up to date/had a personality then it would be deserving, but it isn't/doesn't.

FYI - Crash made was not removed from Burnout Paradise. It was essentially renamed "Showtime" since it played a little bit differently. Pretty much the same thing though. A skilled player could be in Showtime for a VERY long time.

Well, if the game has been rated, is must be a good ways along in development, so we shouldn't have to wait too long for more details. 

More Burnout is always a good thing, but I don't know if they could have come up with a lazier subtitle.
 
Coming soon: Super Mario Bros: Jump, Legend of Zelda: Sword and Kid Icarus: That Dude Has Wings.

Wasn't this the sort of stories that they wanted to avoid early on? It's just repeating the same things I already heard about days ago on these very forums.

More Burnout is awesome.

" More Burnout is always a good thing, but I don't know if they could have come up with a lazier subtitle.  Coming soon: Super Mario Bros: Jump, Legend of Zelda: Sword and Kid Icarus: That Dude Has Wings. "

I hope it's the crash mode game I've been hoping for. I need some more Crashbreaker gameplay!
...Does anyone still play Revenge on the 360 anymore?

Did you say Burnout? Fine here is my money.

I prefer the older Burnout games to Paradise, so hopefully this'll be an arcadey one. But any new Burnout content is good news to me. 
 
You know, if they'd pushed Paradise any more they almost could have made it an MMO...

If this means they're bringing crash mode back, then sold. Paradise was good and all, but Showtime was a poor substitute for proper crash mode.

More Burnout you say? Things are right with the world. I should fire-up Paradise again...

And to think this morning I just put my Paradise back in my PS3 for the first time in months. I love that game, a new one would be GREAT!

Burnout Crash... 
 
 
Isn't that like Sex Fuck?

I love Burnout Paradise--it's one of my favorite racing games.  That being said, Criterion has basically told PC gamers to fuck off.  Therefore, I will never buy another Criterion game or a game in the Burnout genre.  It's a shame too, because it was an extremely well polished game (Burnout Paradise) when it arrived on PC, not like most other games that show up on the consoles first and get ported over with very minor or no changes.

" I prefer the older Burnout games to Paradise, so hopefully this'll be an arcadey one. "

I've been a huge fan of the burnout series for some time now, really glad to see that we'll (likely) be getting another one in the near future.  That's not to say I didn't like they way Criterion handled NFS, I could have definitely gotten behind the Need For Speed series if it had become their new thing.
 
That being said, I'm curious if they'll do another open world burnout game or not, they made a few interesting decisions with Paradise (crash mode being "absent" was about my only issue), I'd definitely like to see that experience refined, perhaps with a bit more focus on, well, focusing the races.  Not sure I can speak for anyone else, but it often became a tad bit difficult to determine the correct path at time (even with the visual aid of a blinker and street sign.). Also, I found that races tended to end up feeling a bit lonesome as I seldom would stay in the pack of other racers very long before blazing my own trail, or just outpacing them altogether.
 
(Who else wants DJ Atomica to return? Loved him in SSX, Loved him in Burnout)
 
EDIT: Considering the name, I'd REALLY love to see an open world burnout game with a dedicated crash event mode ala a Tony Hawk game. Start the event, and a predetermined course appears.

Crashing in Burnout game! Sherley you can't be serious?
 
But seriously: Yeah! A new Burnout game. I'm gonna flip so many buses!

" Crashing in Burnout game! Sherley you can't be serious? "

I don't think they'd call a big huge Burnout game "Burnout Crash". That sounds like a handheld or something.
 
Also Burnout rules.

DOWNLOADBLE BURNOUT CRASH MODE GAME DO IT NOW

Hopefully that means they won't be complete pussies like they were with Paradise and it's pathetic 'Everyone 10+' rating.

so T is taken off. I never felt the game needed a T rating. I love Burnout it's the only racing game I play.

Man crash mode was a weirdly deep physics puzzler and I'm pretty excited for the prospect of more. 

While I'm not a fan of this name, anything Burnout is always good news.

Please God no more Burnout. That series is dead. Criterion is too talented to waste its energies on something so played out. I'd like to see them develop a new F-Zero game. That would be dope.

I really like all this talk of a new Burnout game, but not so much of it perhaps being a downloadable title. I want a fully fledged game that will take all my time and ruin the friendships that I have.

Can't wait!

I really hope it's not an open world game like Paradise, please go back to the linear progression of Revenge and Takedown.

Please bring back classic Burnout!!!

Was not a fan of Paradise and having to look at the bloody map every turn. 

Burnout would've been just fine. But they had to add "cops and robbers"
