This game was my childhood. And APPARENTLY a new burnout game is actually rumoured to be in development by Criterion.

[@brycedonelan1937]

Wait I thought EA killed Criterion

[@ultraviolet_channel]

I’ll believe it when I see it! Unfortunately too many things get lost in development

[@MrXaniss]

​@@ultraviolet_channelIt's a shame how true that is.

[@SultanOfAwesome]

It won't be the same :(

[@FrozenDrone12]

​@@brycedonelan1937Criterion is still there well more like reformed, NFS Unbound was developed by them btw

[@diecastreviewracing]

Burnout paradise represented my entire childhood, cars and crashing. I used to just absolutely obliterate my toy cars, and burnout became my favourite game on the same day I first played it. miss the good times of arcade racing games

[@elimejia5749]

Burnout paridise was the first one in the franchise that I tried out on my Xbox one. I liked it so much, that I pulled out my Xbox 360 and bought burn out 1,2,3, and revenge. Burn out revenge is my favorite one in the franchise as it's just a refined burn out 3.

[@laferrierenicolet]

So many memories

[@MisledVision]

​@@elimejia5749 BO3 and BOR are my favorites as well. The traffic crash mode was literally my childhood. Hours upon hours just causing the most dastardly and conspired crashes human history has ever seen

[@markdebruyn1212]

I discoverd Burnout 3 trough a demo that was in NFS Underground 2, so i was interrested and purchased it and then fell in love with game

[@purwantiallan5089]

Still legendary and way better than racing games from 2020s like F1 23 and FORZA MOTORSPORT 8.

[@KBFNGG]

If you haven’t noticed by now, Stellar Entertainment, which is the team split from Criterion has been working on a AAA racing arcade game for several years now. They even tweeted recently with key words like "take down" and "rear ended". By their portfolio, their very likely reviving the Burnout series again.

[@markdebruyn1212]

I really hope so, i loved Burnout, i even played emulated the PS2 titles on my Steam Deck

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

Maybe they were taken down by EA's modern stupidity and felt like they were kicked in the rear end?

[@purwantiallan5089]

Ren Hazuki (Racing gamer fan), Ayumu Uehara and Shioriko Mifune all still love Burnout Paradise, both the original and Remastered especially to the car sounds, and able to listen to the anime soundtracks while free roaming.

[@faheemjerseyxs4222]

You said exactly what I always say about the unlicensed cars, you can literally do anything you want with them, if you can't have a dream car in a racing game about destruction and street racing then you can try to make it look like one if not better, but almost everyone seems to not agree.

[@keller_]

What a coincidence, I just started playing burnout paradise remastered like two days ago - that game is so much fun, it deserves a sequel for sure

[@brycedonelan1937]

Yes

[@TeamSenke]

I disagree respectfully.

[@soneq667]

same for me with the ps3 version haha

[@purwantiallan5089]

What about BURNOUT PARADISE 2.0?

[@BennyBallbreaker]

I remember my brother coming home from work one night with this, and he asked me to give it a shot. It was probably a month or two after release, I hadn’t heard of it but boy howdy, it was definitely a game way ahead of its time. Countless hours of my life was spent Online with my friends, grinding to get the Chrome & Carbon Fibre cars and make our mark on the Leaderboards. … and then EA just released all of the very hard to get stuff from Online in a pack, making the Gold & Platinum paint along with the Chrome & CF cars virtually meaningless as you could just buy the work.

I had a lot of childhood racing games that I like to look back and appreciate. Stuntman Ignition, Hot Wheels Beat That, and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2010. However I always find myself forgetting about Burnout Paradise which was also one of those prominent childhood racing games, but I remember absolutely loving playing this game growing up. And before you ask, yes I have played the remaster, it's just been a very long time since I have played it.

BLUR and all 4 Motorstorm games on PS3 also are amazing till today.

I bought burnout paradise in a bundle on the PS Store and it included the ''Time Savers Pack'' which more or less ruined the entire experience by unlocking everything at the start. Still a fun game to revisit though

[@Xylar9002]

Fun fact, the burning routes cars were different stats wise on release. For some reason criterion in an update decided to normalize all stats between both.

[@danielllitpek2014]

forever my favorite burnout game, its uniqueness and awesome design make it definitely worth playing even nowadays

[@epicdude3659]

Honestly, we need more games that use an open world map as more than just "these are the ways you can go from point A to B."

[@yerbasanta505]

like Need For Speeeeeeeed , Burnout is truly not the best standout racing game (check the sales ) this guy is tripping .

[@danielllitpek2014]

​@@yerbasanta505Nobody is talking about sales, they don't even mean anything in this context. It's like comparing modern Doom to Call of Duty; Yes the latter sells better, but the other made a comeback after being on ice for decades and still was a better "standing out game" as you called it, despite selling incomparably less. Besides, NFS literally does the same thing Forza Horizon does with its maps; Roads are a mere suggestion and cops are a just nuisance. Burnout Paradises comparably restrictive open world gives way to more mechanics, tactics and novelty to places, that don't conform to the rules the majority of the map uses. That's the reason the Quarry, the Dirt Track, the Big Surf Construction Site and the Airstip feel so much more memorable and special than the Tracks in Heat, Unbound & Motorfest or the various Horizon Festivals (except the first, that one had actually function compared to the glorified all-in-one garages after it). It also helped that the special places in Paradise were also unmarked and had actual stuff to do, like skate-pools and barrel rolls and collectibles that don't force you to stop (looking at you Motorfest, Forza Horizon and any NFS after 2015!)

[@yerbasanta505]

@@danielllitpek2014 You just made me wanna play Paradise LOL, I hear you , but we're not talking about streaming numbers like nowadays, actual sales back then determined the "boom" factor in my opinion, just like record sales, no crappy records ever went platinum or did crazy numbers or made an impact that changed music from that point on (like both these games did to racing gaming), but I also respect your opinion, I've heard really great things about Paradise, I'm just a NFS / NFS MW - head man!

I like how you mentioned underground 2 on the same vein as this game, because that would probably be my favorite open world racer if it wasn't for Burnout Paradise's existence. This might be just me putting on my rose colored glasses in the highest of priorities, but to me this game has executed a concept even better than what I came to be obsessed over to begin with, of which I barely see not just in the racing genre, but in most videogames generally speaking, that alone was enough reason for me to get the remaster on a discount just so I could experience it all over again, alongside the content I was gatekept out of as someone who only had a computer at the time. (For added context, most games published by EA between 2006 and 2012 would either be totally different versions (such as their sports line up of yearly releases) or have content that would be only reserved for consoles at the time, one jarring example being the big surf island expansion). I want to also mention the multiplayer aspect of things, because this is where criterion introduced freeburn challenges, that are simply a collective of events where you would do certain tasks and/or tricks alongside the collaborative effort of other players, and under the right conditions, those can be fun as well, not to mention cops 'n robbers which was another online exclusive mode, which is effectively more similar to that seen in need for speed undercover, but I believe paradise nails it better simply due to the aforementioned mechanics such as how the driving works and etc. If there's any other racing game franchise that a lot of people who grew up with the genre, is undoubtedly Burnout, and given the increase of people fawning over this series either coming back to it, or experiencing it for the first time, gives me a small bit of hope that EA's executives are starting to notice a trend regarding the discourse surrounding this topic, so with enough time, there might be either a new entry to such a dormant IP, or have something in a similar vein done by either Criterion or Codies, or even created by some third party, regardless, I still have some hopium left for what is genuinely some of the most entertainment people can get from a video game.

In your TC2 video, I mentioned it was one of the games that got me back into racing games after not playing them for a really long time. This was the other one. And TC2 was an amalgamation of genres I've been missing out on, then this game was the thesis to everything I missed. And now, it's one of my absolute favorites, a game I come back to time and time again (along with it's predecessors) because it will never not be fun to wreck at 200 MPH. Great video!

This game is my childhood, playing it unhealthy amounts on my PS3, and no-lifing it once again when the remaster dropped, love this game so much and it really is a travesty this franchise went dormant. Also, you actually can restart races in the remaster, just gottta hit left on the d-pad (or right on d-pad i forgot but its one or the other lol) during an event and it'll bring up a menu and there's an option to restart. edit: uberschall 8 my beloved, my favorite car and love the rumbling thunder that plays whenever you got a burnout with it

The PS3 was the last console I owned, and this game was one of the best things about it. It was the first game I really used the online mode on, it was so seamless and such fun.

[@saadhasan2518]

This was my childhood, I loved playing Burnout Paradise, the open world was really fun to explore and driving around it was seriously amazing, the car list felt great due to how varied it was from high powered race cars to aggressive death machines. Overall, I miss Burnout Paradise and Burnout as a whole and want to start playing all over again, due to this excellent video.

[@mrboojay]

Man I love this game, I’ve spent way too much time in it as a kid and managed to ramp up over 1K miles in one vehicle alone. Thanks for this great video showing it off, and I also agree with most of the things you said with this. However, IMO, Road Rages got to be a good bit harder as you progressed and you can restart events via the Easy Drive menu and I never minded driving to the junkyard to switch cars. :) I also do like how all the DLC was made available, not being able to play most of them was a big bummer as a kid.

[@harrygotter3795]

Great Video as always! I also just earned my Burnout License as i’m replaying this awesome game! If I could add something to this video, it would be that the Remastered Version that you played is actually very different to the 1.0 original release on X360/PS3, and in my opinion made worse than those originals. Changes between the 1.0 and latest releases include: - UI colors and elements were changed - Billboards became more generic in the Remaster - All Top Speeds of Cars were lowered in the Remaster - Engine sounds were changed, they became more muted and not as exaggerated in the Remaster - Crash physics were also toned down slightly in the Remaster, making cars not flip over as much - AI Drivers were made slower and easier + Stunt Runs were made easier in Remastered - Other minor graphical differences like when crashing, the color palette becoming very pale with over exaggerated red colors, smoke coming out of exhausts when nitrous was low etc. These differences IMO make the Remaster lose some of the character and atmosphere that the original release had, it made the game feel more casual and not as exiting as 1.0. That said the Remaster introduced a day and night cycle, the original only had daytime, so some things did get improved. There is a video comparing 1.0 and the latest release and in there you can see some of the differences that i listed and more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGrOmGOOo5iMq6ssi=Z_wkWKMBoIOg3WQS Like i said though great video on one of my favorite games, keep up the amazing work you are doing, we love your content man❤

[@ultraviolet_channel]

Sounds great!

[@maxmercer7394]

I will say that having a waypoint system would be very helpful, I do believe that a reason they might not have had one is to get the player to learn the map better. I know when I was playing, overtime I would get better at getting around the map and finish races faster just from trying to find a junkyard which would make me learn more routes. It also helps that the map is designed so well that it feels like every street flows together no matter what direction. Great video, I missed this game so much

[@ultraviolet_channel]

That would be cool

[@ventilo1825]

Few additions : the remastered actually reduced the number of takedowns required, it increments slower in the remastered than in the ultimate box version, and the maximum is 20 instead of 40 (that change makes sense cause 40 is a lot and grinding the elite license is so much longer on the ultimate box version just because of that). It also added a button in the easy drive menu to cancel the current event so you don't have to stop and wait. In the original release in 2008, the early game cars were much faster and the trafic was a lot more dense, so the game was actually very hard back then. The takedown requirements in road rages as well as the score goals in stunt runs were also higher than in the ultimate box version. Great video, summed up very well my own opinion about this game after playing it for around 300 hours all versions and platforms combined

I spent literal years playing Burnout games. Burnout 3 Takedown was the first for me. Burnout Revenge I beat more times than I can count.

If a new Burnout game came to fruition, or heck even a remaster of something like Revenge. I would likely spend endless hours playing it. It was a huge part of my childhood, it helped me find my music tastes, and make countless memories. I look very fondly on Burnout and hope one day it will return.

Burnout! The only game I played was Legends on the PSP, and what a time it was! Didn't play any game after that though. Might consider getting Paradise Remastered at some point.

I've heard of the things criterion had planned for Paradise, and really can't help but think what would it if they were able to release the extra DLC content with completely different islands, boats, subways tunnels and planes, they really had several updates ready, but we only got to see one. I can't find the video where I watched it, but I believe there is a Reddit post of it.

This game is the sole reason I bought a Xbox 360, it was just so different from other racing games we had at that time, and still today there isn't game that was as unique as Burnout Paradise...I still hope for a new Burnout game one day

[@DuckAlertBeats]

I love this game and have played it loads over the years, but I only seem capable of burning around the place aimlessly, crashing through the yellow barriers (not complaining, it's always fun). I just can't seem to commit to doing events lol

[@Shazzgaming]

my mom doesnt like games...but she loves to play Burnout Revenge on Ps2 with me after we get home from school because she was the teacher in my school back then

[@brycedonelan1937]

As some one who grew up with this game in middle school on the PS3 i loved this game

[@brycedonelan1937]

Got the Remastered edition for my xbox series x and I absolutely love it

[@94XJ]

I remember when Burnout 3 Takedown dropped. I played it to death and even burned CDs of the soundtrack I loved it so much. Paradise came along and twisted all the knobs up to 11.

🔥🚗💨 Burnout Paradise: Where racing meets "Sorry, Officer, I didn't see that red light!" 😂 This game turned the asphalt into our personal playground! It's like Mario Kart but for the adrenaline junkies! 🏁 Who needs a GPS when you've got the Burnout compass pointing you to EPIC crashes?! 🤣 Thanks for the memories, Burnout Paradise! You changed the game... quite literally! 🎮👾 #BurnoutParadise #RacingRevolution

Man... Burnout Paradise was one of the first games that I completed 100% & I had so much fun doing it!! I knew several shortcuts by heart and the online was soo much fun and was seamless to boot!! Big Surf Island and the other dlc was also definitely worth it!!

[@ultraviolet_channel]

So good!

[@ndh06]

I'm kinda hoping Wreckreation does enough to fill the Burnout void even though it does give of some Track mania vibes

[@Adrianlovesmusic]

Looking at that cut map i kinda want Paradise 2 now

[@match8bull303]

Burnout seems like a more less violent version of carmageddon.

[@PhantomMiles]

Man. I still remember playing burnout revenge in ps2. the game actually so hard in late game. I still remember the ultimate car in that game is F1 car. but I cant get the car. my PS2 broke. Sweet nostalgia.

[@MrShadow1617]

I played the Ultimate Box and the remaster of this game. I actually find myself playing the OG version more, as the difficulty of the remaster just doesn't seem to be there for me. Everything seems to have been made easier. In the OG, I managed to get to 101% completion on my own but I still play that game, as the opponents AI seems to be more challenging and fun for me. And also for some nostalgia. Too bad that all the DLC cars I bought are no longer accessible in the OG version since the servers were shut down.

[@Flapjck]

I remember playing this when i was too young to know what was going on. Enjoyed it then but I didn’t get that same enjoyment playing the remaster. Maybe i should go back to it. Probably an unpopular opinion, but i enjoyed the crew 2. I maxed out a mini cooper S and would just drive across the world and it was super relaxing. At some point i found some other gut with a Dodge challenger. We both just drove across the map following a way point and yeah it was super fun.

[@kanalintu9246]

Great video! What's the outro song though?

Results from Persona 4

@@ultraviolet_channel Thank you!

[@arandominternetperson4462]

Burnout Paradise's difficulty was nerfed a lot with patches. The remaster has all the "nerfs" applied to it. Cars were made 2-3 times slower, AI agression was nerfed in races, time limits were increased in BR's, Stunt runs were made to be easy (scores were made easier to reach, and the multiplier timer was increased) Car deformation was nerfed, and crash physics were changed. If you want to experience the proper "intended" version of the game you need to play the 1.0 Ps3 version. Also the color pallete was changed from brown-grey to this green-yellow.

[@maximilianmilesanhour6824]

Ive played this game for many years, but only recently I learned that you CAN actually restart races. Its buried in d pad operated quick menu that you use for freeburn challenges and stuff.

[@thelastrasamamas3684]

My favorite racing games of all time are Burnout 3/Burnout Revenge with a madcatz mc2. I played this for the first time 2 days ago on Ps3/G29. It's very fun and impressive! I wish I could use my Madcatz MC2 instead of the Logitech G29, just a faster wheel for turns.

[@jrm1007]

Out of all the Games I grew up with, I spent the most time with Burnout Revenge, and Paradise. While a Remaster is great to have, it's a bit sad that this is the only Burnout now to have functioning Online.

[@scottjs5207]

I felt like the fact that there were no actual restricted racecourses was rather bland over time. Actually funneling people down certain routes, that encouraged the use of otherwise forgotten or useless shortcuts would've been a nice change of pace. Or even MC style checkpoint races... or all three.

[@ultraviolet_channel]

Mine

[@Alsharqi21]

Great video and all but I though the cars you get from the burning route events are actually slightly better than the original(?) most of them would have one of the stats (usually nitro) be one level higher but I could be wrong

[@konishiwoi]

The fact that bloody Mozart, or Beethoven I forgot which one is it,fit so well in this game is always funny to me Even in road rage So cool
