I was just wondering what the community thinks on our chances of a New Burnout Game coming at E3 this year. The Need For Speed Hot Pursuit game is done and Criterion have perhaps a chance to build another Burnout game using the same Engine from Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. Assuming of course they arn't already working on a sequeal for Hot Pursuit.
It's been just over 3 years since Paradise was released and coming up on two since the last piece of DLC was Released. I'm sure enough that the Burnout Franchise isn't Dead. If it 's the right time for another though yet im hopeful but aware that perhaps Criterion might want to make something else non car related. I don't know.
But a New Burnout or PGR5 would make my E3. Im not a Petrol head but my two favourite games this generation are PGR4 & Burnout Paradise.
Anyone else itching for some more Burnout?
New Burnout to Come at E3? (Not A Rumour or Fact)
" I think that genre has been Burnt Out. "Most definitely not. Burnout is a fantastic franchise, and the fact that Burnout Paradise is still as wildly popular as it is almost three years after its release says a ton about the game itself.
There are a myriad of places that Paradise could've improved, and I'm sure that Criterion has been working on a new game somewhere. When we'll hear about it is a different story, and that's if they aren't knee deep in something involving Need for Speed or not.
I would absolutely love a new Burnout Paradise. Putting more of a focus on the online play, and less on "finish the singleplayer so you'll have all the cars you need for multiplayer" would be great. I'd love to see a system for automating Freeburn challenges, as well, so you don't necessarily have to deal with someone who takes five minutes to start up the "use boost for five seconds" challenge. More competitiveness in completing the challenges would be nice, too.
Also maybe motorcycle racing. Never did get enough use out of those great bikes.
Regardless, I poured hundreds of hours into Paradise, and I'd gladly do the same for a quality sequel.

" Just give me Burnout Paradise in a real city that is bigger and more neon and sweet tunes (No girlfriend from avril lavigne for the love of GOD!) Everytime that came one, i CRINGED!!! "as much as i love burnout paradise, the soundtrack was pretty awful. whoever made the choice for some of those songs doesn't deserve to live
The series lost me as a fan with Burnout Paradise. I absolutely hate open worlds in racing games. Burnout before Paradise was just about driving ridiculously fast and having a good time. It was simple and this trademark simplicity was totally lost when they went open world. I don't want to stop at crossroads and I don't want to look at a map in mid-race. It was just a bad game design and I think Paradise was way overrated when it came out. I tried hard, I wanted to like it but after a few days I gave up and sold it because it just wasn't fun.
I want that too. And I guess I could live with a neon theme for some tracks just for visual variety. But open-world is a no-go for me. I just hate the open city concept in racing games." @CptBedlam said:
I also want cars to crash and hopefully a real crash challenge mode. "" @Dany: Go play NFS Underground or something. Neon and open-world is what already destroyed the NFS franchise. "
However, Criterions NFS already seems a little better in that regard though. I haven't played it yet but from what I've seen the open world in that game consists of longer intertwining roads instead of a whole lot of unfun crossroads which Paradise consisted of.

" @CptBedlam: Did you even play burnout paradise??? It was still about driving absurdly fast, and why would you be stopping at crossroads?? It was easily the best game in the series, the only downside was they did not have a classic burnout out mode for destructive greatness, they put in something similar, but it was not nearly as fun as the classic mode. "Which is why I spent half of the time playing Paradise than the two before it. Crash mode was the bread and butter, and they squished it flat with Paradise.
" @Dany said:You should go out and buy NFS:HP NOW! It's not open world at all, progression is through event select and the "tracks" have barriers, like burnout 3. You can free roam though the world, but there's really no incentive to do so. This is basically the closest to BO3 you can get, sans the crash mode, of course.I want that too.
