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!
Excluding PSP spin-offs:
1) Burnout 3
2) Burnout Revenge
3) Burnout Paradise
4) Burnout 2
5) Burnout 1
2 and 3 are pretty close for me though.
I’ve been playing this on my Series X with a PS2 emulator and it brings back so much nostalgia. Still my favorite Burnout! But I’d definitely love a remake.
More of a Revenge guy, personally.
I really hated Paradise. I played it on PS3 and the only thing I liked about it was that it allowed for custom soundtracks.
..... So I just played it with the Revenge OST. 🫡
I agree about Paradise. The world raved about it and I honestly thought I was the only one it didn't click with. I felt a bit like I was playing GTA, only without the story, shooting, flying et al. It felt a bit soulless to me compared to Takedown and Revenge, which were more OTT fun!
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.
I'm just saying that a new generation of players would absolutely love this. Not everyone can afford to hunt down an Xbox and a copy of this game.
Looks and plays amazingly on pcsx2 honestly. But yeah an actual official remastered release with better graphics and trophies/achievements and online would be lovely
Why are you telling everyone how to think? You only get one opinion; yours. So do the rest of us that are interested in a B3: takedown remake. It was a great game for it's time and could be even better if brought up to modern standards.
How about a spiritual successor, then?
Only problem is EA is so far invested in Need For Speed that it might not be sold on a new Burnout...unless there's reassurance that there's still interest in the series. Hence, the idea for a re-release of one that's an established hit. :)
I hope you'll have fun plugging your PS2 to a modern 4K TV, because you'll need a component cable ($10 to $15 w/o shipping) if you want a decent enough quality, then a component to HDMI converter (approx. $30)... And that's if you haven't sold your PS2 and/or your game in the past 20 years, because that would set you for another $50-$60 (plus don't forget the memory card and/or the controller, because you'll have to have those too).
Anyway, once you're set, the game will only run in a 4:3 aspect ratio (that'll mean that either your image will be stretched to fit your TV screen, or you'll have black borders on the left and right sides of your display). Plus, Burnout 3 featured an online play feature that is now long gone (and I'm sure you don't remember the hassle it was to create a PS2 online account, plus I'm pretty sure that's not something you can do anymore).
By making an HD remaster/remake, it'll mean enjoying fixes for all those problems, plus updated textures and 3D models, and it would really be cheaper for the consumer: I don't think paying approximately $100 to play a blurry mess without your friends is really worth it, but hey, you do you ;)
LoL, you wrong buddy
I have Ps2 4k Hdmi converter with component cable for ps2 plugged into my 4k TV ps2 games look great . Bought it
on Ebay 18.00
By the way memory card only 12-18.00 on Ebay where you getting 30.00 from??
You can pick up a Cheap ps2 for 20.00 replace disk drive eye like I did ka-bam!! Running ps2 .........everything is cheaper if you take your time look around on ebay if you don't know how to repair anything YouTube will teach you how to.
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.
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.

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.
