Early versions for PC and Nintendo Switch can be played by anyone with an interest in going fast and crashing hard.
Three Fields Entertainment has announced Dangerous Driving 2 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. It will launch this holiday.
Open world? Hmm. I've bought all of this studio's games so far and I'm not sure that this is a great idea. My gut tells me that they should have polished the formula laid out in the first game, finally made a game that could get over 75 on Metacritic and then they could have moved on and made an open world game.
The developers are clearly talented because the driving felt great in the first game (insanely fast with tight controls and good drifting) but Dangerous Driving had so many issues: insane rubber-banding, basic crash physics and low resolution fire/explosions, huge amounts of glitches, a poorly implemented Pursuit Mode, simplistic graphics (not a deal-breaker), only 30fps on base consoles with frame-pacing issues, etc.
Can they really make Burnout Paradise if they haven't yet nailed down Burnout 3? The development time for this game will be significantly longer than the first game though so fingers crossed. The press release gives me some hope as well and I suppose we'll see what they've achieved at the end of this month. It's odd that they'll just be showing the Switch version off at PAX.
