The spiritual successor to Burnout currently being developed by former Criterion devs at Three Fields Entertainment will be based on Burnout 3: Takedown, the studio has revealed.
Taking to Twitter, the studio revealed that the unannounced racer - which the developer is referring to as 'Shiny Red Something' - "will be the spiritual successor to 'the third one'".
It's time for EA to bring back Road Rage. And Crash Mode, for that matter.
I absolutely loved this game. It was my favourite in the series, even over Paradise!
Go play it then. Should be able to find a PS2 copy for less than $5.
Stop wishlisting games that already exist. Stop doing EA's marketing department's work for them.
Funny enough last weekend I was playing PS2 game, burnout 3. First time in years. Fond memories.
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.
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.

That's awesome, sucks it's gonna be years before we get to play it. Been itching to play a new one for years.
Bring back crash mode and I'll be super stoked!
Burnout 3 is the one I enjoyed the most, by far
Paradise would have been better but pretty certain 3 was pretty good.
