The camera support in the game has been tweaked a bit to offer more functionality. Whereas the game would initially use the PlayStation Eye or Xbox Live Vision camera to snap a victory pic when you'd take a player out, the support has been beefed up to include taking a picture of you for your in game license. As you progress through the game you'll be able to take new ones to reflect your growing prowess, or ego. Another unique feature discussed was unique to the PlayStation 3 version of the game is the EZ Drive feature which lets you hop online with three quick presses of the d-pad.
Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.
I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.
On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.
I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.
I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.
I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.
Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car
Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.
Cultured Vultures: The Burnout series has plenty of great games to play, but which one is definitively the best? We're here to rank them all.
I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.
Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.
That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.
I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.
After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.
Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.
Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.
No more Need For Speed, it's time to bring back Burnout.

Its long long overdue but the problem is its just not a big money spinner. Thats why EA ditched it. Alex Ward has gone his own way with Three Fields Entertainment & made Dangerous Driving but its very low budget.
Each game gets closer and closer to being good. It's kind of painful how close they are. haha. I hope Dangerous Driving 2 being open world isn't too ambitious for them and it's a polished, fun 7.5-8/10.
Maybe not, but if a quality title in the reigns released now days...People do pay more attention to reviews comparitively
Burnout with real life car mechanic costs sounds about right if you want EA to go for it.
Here's the thing, EA is sitting on so many great IPs i would like to return, but at the same thing i feel like modern EA would find a way to ruin it. Besides Respawn, EA hasn't dropped anything good for almost 2 generations IMO.
"almost 2 generations" What? Are you talking about the PS3 and the 360?
I agree with the general sentiment that their catalogue of games since the PS4/XB1 has been comparatively terrible to what they used to do though.
Absolutely loved these games back in the day. Paradise was good too but didn't quite have the feel of the old games
"For those looking for any performance differences between the two platforms, it looks as though you'll be hard pressed to find anything glaring"
That's what a true de should be doing. This could be the first EA published game to not have terrible problems on on version. Criterion FTW!
Well if it is equal in graphics than I consider this another victory for the 360. The ps3 was favored by Criterion and was lead platform I believe. So if a 360 can get a port with equal graphics...why can't the ps3???
"rainbow 6 vegas and Skate" as good as the 360 version? Are you blind?
Oblivion and GRAW2 came out almost a Year after the 360 version so ofcourse they look a tiny little better in some part of the game, but overal GRAW2 looks better on 360.
What great "passion" these fanboys have (I count 2 fanboys above my comment), and they todays youth is going no where. Man with "passion" that is displayed on this site, I see future, heads of companies, politicians etc.... Oh wait we're just talking about video games here, nevermind.
Edit.... correction 3 fanboys above my comment.... and more to follow
Man some of you guys need to stop being such rapid fanboys.It starting to get on my nerves
