[@TatsTopVideos]

Burnout copied a lot from the Konami game, Thrill Drive. But its still my favourite Burnout game, because of how difficult it is, and giving the option to drive a bus or tow truck in a race. ColorShedProductions wonders why anyone would want to drive them, I say for the challenge, and its not something you get to see much in races, driving a big vehicle in a race.

[@ClellBiggs]

I liked this one, but 2 is where the series really took off. Crash Mode is one of the greatest things ever put into a game. About the handling, I played the PS2 version and my memory may be fuzzy but I remember the controls being pretty tight. You could easily pull off long power slides that were so precise you could still dodge traffic while doing them. I may be getting it confused with 2 though.

[@CrabHead501]

power slide?... ah ok im dumb

[@bluesrike]

I think a Konami arcade game called "Thrill Drive" was another big inspiration for the games. But the latter's presentation and atmosphere is much darker. It really wants to make you feel bad for crashing.

[@vaillant_500]

I think Burnout 3: Takedown tried to pay homage to that with darker sfx-ambience after you crashed on beta version. Would be interesting if they keep it in on final version

[@cominroitover80]

Not even close. Midnight Club and Gran Turismo 3 had already been out for months. Dave Mirra 2 had just come out. This game was a buggy piece of shit when it came out and it's a buggy piece of shit now.

[@stagnantsmokemusic]

@@basithph8958 bro having turning signals doesn't mean it's "quite ahead of it's time".

Plus, the graphics aren't that superior either.

[@Freezorgium]

@@stagnantsmokemusic The crashes hadn't been done before, neither had a game with so much emphasis in street racing while dodging traffic.

[@mariomanno1]

I used the music in this game as a blueprint for a class in my college course. If you look up the OST for this game you'll see that there are some unused tracks I believe that were based in Tokyo? I really would love to see how those tracks were meant to turn out but at least we have the music for them to listen to. That horrible looping of the sounds must've really taken away from your experience I imagine. I played it on PS2 when i was a lot younger then Gamecube where I eventually completed the game in a little over 2 hours. It's kinda a big part of my childhood along with Need For Speed Underground.

Where it all started..

[@Jamie_06]

Shiny red car imagine if burnout went with that name

[@Beagleman1996]

As another commenter has mentioned, this game bears quite a close similarity in a number of areas to Konami's "Thrill Drive" Arcade series (the first released in 1998, and the second in 2001). You drive a small selection of generic cars through traffic dangerously, and crashes result in a dynamic camera angle showing the crash again. I've only played any of them once; Thrill Drive 2 at an arcade many years ago. I vaguely remember this horrifying scream playing whenever you crashed; it made me want to avoid doing it xD!

[@St_Rizla]

I always thought of it like a horror racing game hybrid lol

[@SWAGCOWVIDEO]

It's even worse when you're playing on a 14 inch CRT and can barely see what's coming at you. This game gave me nerves of steel as a kid.

[@MidnightClubStillCancelledSoz]

One of my favorite racing game series

[@hwogrillo]

Good review. Burnout 1 isn't a bad game but it's not much more than a prototype for the sequels. 2 is my personal favorite as I feel it's got the best mix of destruction and skill based racing. Seriously the first time you manage to boost chain your way through the whole race is a thing of beauty. Most people like 3 better but that was a little destruction heavy and less skill based for my taste. Either way it's still an excellent game. Burnout paradise just sucks.

[@TheFurryInShambles]

Burnout Paradise was fine. The big surf island and cops and robbers made it better.

[@hwogrillo]

@@TheFurryInShambles It was fine as a game on its own but it wasn't a good Burnout game. There's nothing less Burnout-y than a game where you have to pause it every 45 seconds to check your map to make sure you're going the right way, while you have 0 opponents anywhere around you because they all took a different route. And showtime mode was just a bad joke after the great crash modes of the previous games. If they would have named it something else I would have liked it more.

[@rickyrosay33977]

@@TheFurryInShambles it was ok also crash mode was ruined in burnout paradise

[@Blueflag04]

Is it me or the first burnout almost plays like the same as Thrill Drive by Konami?

[@St_Rizla]

It's almost a complete copy, except they added nitrous and took out the driver analysis at the end of the race.

[@grandtheftaero1]

the idea originally was for criterion to develop a ps2 port of thrill drive but konami turned them down - so the ps2 thrill drive port became its own thing

[@ljgarrison6910]

Burnout 3: Takedown is the one you want, but the original one was what made me fall in love with the series. My best mate had it on PS2

[@Demache92]

Yeah you made a big mistake playing this on the 360. Should have stuck with the PS2 or OG Xbox. At least it would be less buggy. Otherwise I think you greatly underestimated how cool this was when it came out. It was just fun to play around with, since it did have a unique gimmick. I played it more than most and got obscenely good at it, and can actually tell that there is a difference between the cars. I will say, the reason the bus and truck exists is for crazy crashes. They are worthless for racing. Though in hindsight with the existence of it's sequels, the first game really isn't worth playing for any newcomer and is pretty dated for most of the reasons you listed. The 2nd did everything the first did so much better. I pretty much only play it for nostalgia.

[@AlryFireBlade]

3:40 Basic is so true just from looking at the Menu :D Nothing bad about that... It is a nice clean look. Way better then much of the current effect bombs we have today.

[@01Zipang]

anyone who is a fan of burnout should check out 3 arcade games by konami called "Thrill drive" same idea as burnout but taken to a more extreme and graphic presentation

[@BeforeThePast]

You definitely should have played it on a different system after you started experiencing the sound glitch. The game loses a lot of it's charm when you can't hear the music most of the time, and inevitably lowered your opinion because of it, even when it wasn't the games fault

Notification: Burnout revi.... _click click Click Click _*_CLICK CLICK CLICK_*

[@thatmotorfreak]

This particular game was actually based on an old arcade racer by Konami called "Thrill Drive". It's pretty clear that they took a lot of design elements from that game from the generic car line-up, the yellow caution signs, the bumps on the Interstate track, and even the use of the Impact font. They even wanted to add some Tokyo-based tracks and police chases but ended up on the chopping block. Criterion (or at least one of their devs) actually approached Konami at one point to make a home port of Thrill Drive; but Konami didn't show much interest. Anyway, can't wait to see you share your thoughts on Burnout 3 :)

[@JRC99]

Actually maybe the Forza Horizon games, though I haven't gotten around to playing them myself.

[@davinlabar4498]

they were trying to emulate the gameplay of a konami racing game called "thrill drive". If you compare the first 2 games in each series side by side you'll see similar elements between the 2, even down to the UI. they planned on adding pedestrians into burnout much like thrill drive but the idea was scrapped in development, probably to keep the game from getting an exclusive ESRB or equivalent software rating.

[@jakd.rabbit]

One inspiration for Burnout you forgot to mention, and it is probably because it is not very well known today and most cabinets have been destroyed (with two US boards know to still exist), is Konami's scared straight street racing arcade title, Thrill Drive. This game is kinda effed up honestly with it having a mature and general audience mode which disables things like blood splatter coming from your driver, whether your driver gets flung through the windshield during a crash, ambulance/police sirens going off after the crash is over with police sometimes even pulling up, totalling the damages created by the collision, flashing a banner mentioning whether the crash resulted in any fatalities, and this is also without mentioning the fact the game allowed mowing down pedestrians mid race right up until launch because, as an anonymous Konami dev put it in an interview, it just felt in poor taste and wrong with the entire team just wanting to forget they had even toyed with that concept during the game's development. The point of Thrill Drive was illustrating the dangers of street racing to arcade goers with it painting the picture of a fast and fun arcade racer, so long as you were doing well, but, as soon as you have your first crash, the game gives you tonal whiplash showing your driver's face flash on screen during the moment of impact, changing from upbeat and sunny to a dark an ominous sky with music to match, and illustrating the horrific mess you just created in the name of "fun." Food for thought, that one and even weirder that this game most likely served as major direct inspiration for Burnout, though, never officially confirmed (watch gameplay and you'll see why so many have made this conclusion, and, hell, you should see some of the cut content pulled from the Burnout 3 demo like the creepy sound effects pulled from the aftertouch system, the early showcase video where it cycles through car crashes in engine trying to illustrate the engine's realism with creepy post crash sound effects overlayed as if you were surveying a car crash scene, or the fact one of it's working titles was Burnout 3: See You In Hell as well as Burnout 3: Crash & Burn). Edit: This (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j57aaHeHr6iXp5I), this (kzbin.info/www/bejne/foCcd6qjoJaVm8k), and I think this (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWbPlGCqgp5-m7s) is where some of this info came from while I found the developer interview linked as a citation I think on Wikipedia or an article on the game on an arcade cabinet tracking and archiving site, I don't remember which one honestly.

Then I tried the other games and .. yeah it's exactly as I first though. It's highly repetitive and rewards bad driving instead of skilled driving like the first two games. The way I see it it feels like some people left the studio after the second game. The first game feels very cheap but the fun was there, the second game felt like a much bigger production with the same gameplay formulae but with the latest games I have absolutely no pleasure whatsoever to ram into everything it's just annoying and redundant after 2 minutes.

I heard a lot of people saying the ps2 version handled better than the xbox version, however i found the opposite to be true. In my experience, the ps2 version was really really twitchy and felt incredibly difficult, whereas the xbox version felt so much better. I was consistently able to slide the car much more allowing for the boost to be built up a tonne and had way more fun with the game as a result. I only ever played the ps2 version until recently too, so it's not a case of me being more used to the xbox version. Cant say much about the problems you've had with the Xbox 360 emulation since I only ever played it on the original console. Additionally, with this game you have to remember the original intention was not the "Chaos simulator" it turned into with later games. The point of this first game was to be intense and punishing. Many of its drawbacks as a game were really caused by it having the budget of a ham sandwich. 2 is really the ultimate incarnation of the original vision and 3 is the original vision after doing a line of cocaine. I personally think the ones after that lost touch with what made the series special in the first place

[@zensoredparagonbytes3985]

Lol. Same here

[@Ckoz2829]

I went through a period a few years ago where I played almost every Burnout from the beginning and I can tell you that the first game is very rough, but the second game really improves the hell out of it. Burnout 2 was so much fun. And then Burnout 3 happened which really polished the gameplay up and turned the dial to 11. And then Revenge came out and it was ok. In my opinion, it was a step back from 3. My main complaint was how dark and hard to see everything was. I haven’t played Paradise yet, but it looks nice. Not sure how I feel about open world Burnout, though.

I remember first hearing about Burnout in the old Nintendo and gaming magazines (IGN, GamePro) and got it a little while after release for the Gamecube. It was a different and other than the lack of cars / tracks was good for what it provided. It seemed like a demo of what could be and I thought it would be better if they amped up the action. Sure enough they did and the rest is history.

[@guitarboyjeff]

In my opinion, the wrong Burnout game was remastered!!!! They should have remastered 3 Takedown and Revenge. These were clearly the peak of the series and Paradise was just a disappointment and strayed far from what made it force to reckoned with. I don't know if they'll ever remaster Takedown and Revenge as a double take!!!!!!

Just seeing this 3 hours later. I would say I'm early but the KZbin algorithm sucks

The repeating sound glitch isn't just an emulator thing, it did it in the PS2 version as well- though it was rare, and normally happened with a sample of the music playing at the time.

[@Naej7]

Never had a problem

[@Mikki-Moo]

I always preferred the Burnout series over both,NFS and Midnight Club solely because of the premise of crashes. Even though it was much more limited, it provided much more fun and frantic action

[@marvinrodriguez7971]

Yo do Forza Motorsport 4 5 6 & 7 & do Forza Horizon 1 2 3 & 4 & Do Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4 & Do Burnout Takedown Revenge & Paradise on Xbox

[@SamXNE_997]

One of the things I liked about this game that the rest of the series doesn't replicate is the presentation of the crashes. When you crash, the HUD suddenly disappears with the accident being shown two or three times in different camera angles. While Burnout 2 featured more detailed crash physics, the presentation of said crashes doesn't have as much dramatic OOMPH as Burnout 1.

Burnout 2 review next pleeeeaasseee

[@ChaseMC215]

Apparently in the first race in the Jorneyman Championship, it's impossible to get to first place, since aparently there is no such thing as Fair Play, I tried to drive the fastes cars, and I can barely get to first, only second place.

[@JamesPound]

Maybe you had to be a kid at the time, but the mixture of arcade and realism in this game was what made it really addictive. The levels of traffic, design of the environments and intensity of the car crashes were unprecedented, and hooked me as a young person. I didn't play much of the championship mode, but just endlessly replayed single races. It's not as fun if you're trying really hard to progress through the game, but playing it just to race and have a good time and see some crazy crashes, there was nothing else like it. I fondly remember the first time my car flipped off a cliff, out of bounds, during a crash. I was blown away that it was even possible.

[@DTheHedgehog]

oh thank god, someone actually thinks this game's crashing system is cool to look at, but some real bs(the timer keeps running while you're in a crash, combined with everything else said in the review)

[@ZombieRofl]

The amount of time you put in this reviews really shows. Great work! Please consider PGR 3 of 4.

[@mythicdale8757]

The game just lacked that sort of Sega style arcade flourish. Sunshine blue visual with announcers. burnout always felt like a pseudo arcade game.

[@spinx2273]

Oh man, you saying that the meter would refill if you could hold the whole burnout boost without crashing into anything confirms my perplexed thrill-seeking 12-year old self noticing that same thing, but never being able to confirm it. Burnout was the first game I purchased for my Nintendo Gamecube back in 2002. Coming from a Nintendo 64 rather than a Playstation, I didn't realize that a memory card would be needed to save progress in Burnout on Gamecube. So, I played the first few tracks over and over and over again for a few months before my parents bought me a Memory Card. I tried keeping the Gamecube on overnight to make more progress, but my Dad was a scientist, and very conscious of electricity usage, so he made sure all electronic devices besides alarm clocks were turned off every night. XD I still feel like the first Burnout in the series was the best... The 2nd had some nice crash modes, but it got way more arcadey in the wrong ways after that.

[@thetexanhusky]

6:53 - Funny you say this, because there was at least one map that was being developed for the game, but got scrapped before development ended. It was supposed to be a Hong Kong-esque track. They would eventually make a Hong Kong-esque track in later games; in particular: Dockside in Burnout 3: Takedown and Central City in Burnout Revenge. So yeah, your suspicions were correct. Sucks that we never got to see that track make it into the final game. As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, at least we did get a couple of locations based on that city later down the line.

[@milkyy4168]

Burnout on the 6th gen consoles went from looking like an upscaled ps1 game to literally ps3 levels of graphics

[@MrRhysReviews]

They probably were gonna make Burnout PS2 Exclusive because the guest game from Criterion was the Sony published Airblade which was basically Tony Hawk but with a Hover Board... You should check that out some time 👍

[@AMWmyu00]

Review Burnout 3: Takedown, Burnout Revenge and Burnout Dominator. I've played all of those. Nearly completed 3 & Dominator, but I was just stuck on its late game events: 3's frustrating F1 endurance race & Dominator's final maniac event. I've completed Revenge even w/ all golds on crash events

[@MeadeJ67]

Lol you absolutely get what you pay for with burnout 1 what? How could you be paying more than 10 bucks...? It's a fantastic classic.

[@tomibuhbut1654]

I❤ your review's! Can you review Supercar Challenge?

[@travosk8668]

Just you wait for burnout 2

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]
