Burnout Paradise cars in Godfather II!

Godfather 2 uses the same two car models than Burnout Paradise: Hunter Cavalry and Carson Opus. The only difference is that... Godfather 2's cars are way less detailed than BP's. And Burnout is one year older. The comparison is on a polish gaming website.

damn! i really hope the godfather pics are from the ps2. burnout visuals are making the godfather ones look like a joke. still though thts a cool find looks like burnout cars were based on actual real life cars who would have guessed?

sweter5911d ago

it's just that it looks worse than burnout paradise: the ultimate box on PC. sad but true...

B-side5911d ago

Yeah, they're really damn simmilar. I wonder now why Godfather II so "archaic", isn't it year 2009?

sunnygrg5911d ago

Plagiarism or Inspiration?

sweter5911d ago

...both games are developed by the same company. Resource sharing, I guess. :) They could've changed it somehow, anyways.

Hercules5911d ago

they are both pusblished by EA, so its kind of far to see that..

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

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.

SullysCigar735d ago

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.

NJShadow735d ago

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.

EazyC735d ago

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.

BrainSyphoned735d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL735d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander1971735d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1385d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381384d ago (Edited 1384d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381384d ago (Edited 1384d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1385d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381384d ago

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.

Chocoburger1385d ago

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.

ChasterMies1385d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1384d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1513d ago

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.

roadkillers1513d ago

Maybe not, but if a quality title in the reigns released now days...People do pay more attention to reviews comparitively

BrainSyphoned1513d ago

Burnout with real life car mechanic costs sounds about right if you want EA to go for it.

isarai1513d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1513d ago

"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.

andy851513d ago

Absolutely loved these games back in the day. Paradise was good too but didn't quite have the feel of the old games
