Alex Ward, a leading man at Burnout creator Criterion Games, has hinted at the possibility of a second Burnout Paradise through his personal Twitter account.
(Burnout Paradise 2, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Agreed. A second title would have to improve on a bit of the repetitiveness of the first game but even from that very foundation, I'd still play the freaking hell out of it.
Calm yourselves folks. It's published by EA, meaning they will somehow shove some unnecessary feature that will just make you want to put the game down and just go back and play the original Burnout Paradise.
Would anybody else also want to see a new Midnight Club game? And my brother would go ape$#!t to hear about this game. He put so much time in paradise city.
Same here. Been playing BO since the 1st came out on the GameCube, but I just hated the open world of BO Paradise.
I don't want to concentrate on making sure I don't take a wrong turn to take me on wild cross country drive in the opposite direction, I want to concentrate on the race itself and driving as bat ass crazy as possible. It took a lot of the fun away for me and I couldn't be asked playing it anymore.
It lacked local multiplayer and there was no party crash mode.
BO 2 had the best courses for racing and drifting and BO Takedown had the best additions before they went a bit too far.
In case it is open world again, I just hope they allow us to restart the race at any point and they have a GPS to make sure those of us who like to concentrate on racing can do so without worrying about directions.
Burnout3:takedown for me is probably the greatest racing game ive ever played! with amazing soundtracks! i hope they make a burnout:takedown2 one day, no open world shit.
I personally think Burnout Paradise 2 and the Burnout franchise should be Criterion's top focus. This is their creation and their baby. I also hope they find a unique identity with the Need for Speed franchise at the same time.
I hope the actual racing is not open world but the hub stays can keep the open world, just disliked how you have to keep checking the map to know where your driving which is especially difficult in a game where your driving really fast.
now that CRITERION GAMES making BURNOUT PARADISE 2 maybe they give EA the tool kit for need for speed back. a serious developer will take fans desire for a GOOD need for speed into consideration now.
Hotpursuit was craptastic failure, Mostwanted was seriously BURNOUT indisguised. for me it was the auto-log fiasco, could not progress the game unless your online that killed it for me got refunded.
I have a 2gb radeon 7870. quad core amd @4ghz. 4ghz ram. Shouldn't be a problem. Runs everything else great. Battlefield 3 at the highest settings at a solid 60fps. It's bad programming. It will dip from 60 to 20fps just because you take a turn. Consider yourself lucky.
wow. 3 disagrees with facts. facts. you disagree that i can run this game with a gts 450? and you disagree that the graphics are turned up to a higher quality than the console versions? this place is not for gamers, its for rabid fanboys who ignore facts
3 was definitely awesome, but come on, even through the repetition, driving around through Paradise City was some of my most memorable moments of gaming this generation. Back then, those graphic were just downright beautiful; Hell, they still are even today.
I would even be happy with a remaster for the PS3.
And you are right, Open world racing was a drag after a while, I want to focus on all the cool burnout stuff rather than looking for the right turn to get to my destination.
I miss the music while racing, the crash junctions and blowing up my car multiple times.
One more thing, Is your avatar Tom Hanks in the Green Mile sweating and in pain from his prostate cancer??
I absolutely loved Burnout: Paradise. However, it took me a few rounds to actually get into it. After awhile, it's the most repetitious racer out there. :/ Make a more unique map, give it a better Takedown mode (Like Burnout 3), and add full steering wheel support...and I'm in. It's a great game, but MAN did it get boring quickly. I honestly don't even want the racing competitions. I don't want to "rise through the ranks", once again. How many times can the racing genre do that crap in a story? We all saw The Fast and the Furious when it came out. We get it. Can we move on, yet? The Fast series certainly has.

HOTPURSUIT 2,UNDERGROUND still the best.
The first time I ever got a refund for a digital game.
I have it and it works great.
I have it maxed out at 60-70fps on a GTX 660ti.
Have had 0 problems.
quad core amd @4ghz.
4ghz ram.
Shouldn't be a problem.
Runs everything else great. Battlefield 3 at the highest settings at a solid 60fps.

mate i have a xfx hd 7870. runs good. sometimes the framerate will drop to 30 when your around the cities but most of the time its a solid 60
what a game. can't wait for this sequel, which will have to be shared between current gen and next gen it seems.
Not liking Paradise?
"Unacceptablllllllllllle !" (I hope someone with an Adventure Time avatar will appreciate the reference)
Oh the joy
