Criteriongames reports:
Here's a hot news update for all you PS3 1080i gamers – we've found a way to support 1080i in Paradise!
This will enable any gamers who own a 1080i TV that doesn't support 720p to run the game in HD instead of SD.
If you have the option to run 720p, we still recommend you run the game in this mode, because the 1080i image is effectively scaled from 720p.
This will appear with the "Cagney" update – that's version 1.3, if you're new to the site.
To trigger this feature, all you'll need to do is make sure you have 1080i ticked and 720p unticked in the XMB display options, once you've installed the Cagney download.
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
1080i support is very welcome but wats is the cagney download and where do i get it from?
edit: thanks maximus
So much for "all games in 1080P and 120fps "
Great news for those guys, SD is just horrible now. Frankly though, maybe it's time they thought about investing in a new TV?
This game came out in Jan & the X360 version has 1080i. BIG DEAL!
I was one of those that was whining about this problem on the Criterion forums a couple weeks ago. I never imagined that would actually fix this issue! Kick ass, I can't believe they listened. Now I can play this game in something more than 480p!
