I think that the game only needs a speedometer so people know how fast they are going

[@Revengilate]

Yeah would have been really handy

[@kuorumi777]

No it doesn't

I get what you're saying about no added section/cars, but for somebody who has never played Burnout, Paradise Remastered is awesome and great value when on sale for under $10. I'd take Paradise Remastered over the rest of PS4 NSF games which I got to try through a cheap EA Play trial. NSF Heat was ok, but nowhere near as fun Paradise. Then again, I'm the type to buy remasters like Bioshock because I never played them 15 years ago

[@NP-sg2wn]

I thought too then i bought and completed then the app crashed right after I finished the story line. Resetting my progress to zero and forcing me to start over. How bout that!

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

There's not enough retrospectives on this game even though it's arguably the most influential racing game of the past 15 years. All the Forza Horizons and post Burnout Paradise Criterion/Ghost Games NFS titles take influence from the design of Burnout Paradise but few come close to being the fun pick up and play game that this is. And the soundtrack is iconic, 100%. I owe a lot to the soundtracks of these 2000s racing games for shaping my music tastes towards rock and metal and even some of the rap artists that were featured among the mostly rock selection I enjoy listening to, from time to time. I still own the OG PC version and PS3 version but I might just pick up the remaster because I hope to find some more active players to race around with.

[@MatthewDiLeva]

As cool as the concept of having an open world Burnout game is, closed track racing is where it’s at most of the time. Burnout 3: Takedown is my heart and soul let alone the whole Burnout series. I mean, I love Paradise too, but the sheer amount of wasted potential absolutely reeks with this game. The “remaster” doesn’t help it either, _good lord…_

[@Alvarito205]

This! Please EA bring us a Burnout 3, Revenge and Dominator remastered please

[@Sevatar_VIIIth]

Ahh yes Burnout 3, flying down that downtown street in the oncoming traffic lane trying like hell not to crash while Franz Ferdinand This Fire is blaring through the speakers. Loved this game so much, remember Project Gotham Racing?

[@MatthewDiLeva]

@@Sevatar_VIIIth Wasn’t too invested with Project Gotham Racing as a kid, but my brother has played Midnight Club.

[@Sevatar_VIIIth]

@@MatthewDiLeva I played the hell out of Midnight Club too, I remember PGR because at the same time I was playing Bloodwake on the original Xbox. Then ended up playing Burnout 3 a few years later, the good ol days of video games man I miss it.

[@MatthewDiLeva]

@@Sevatar_VIIIth I mostly stuck to Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Takedown and Paradise I still play to this day.

[@vincentspaans671]

Great video man. I always loved this game as a kid and i played the remaster and i still love the game. I like that someone has the same oppion

[@bonaconlodoset9264]

I love the open world burnout paradise i still love burnout 3 but paradise tickles my brain in just the right way navigating knowing the shortcuts how swift you have to be to actually win races i love it so much all the secret areas learning how to trick how fun the marked man missions are my god the road rages the jumps oh my god i just gush for paradise

[@wrightway65]

Awesome video!!!

[@l4v9l]

I wish the events were not so repetitive and were able to see your speed

[@MaxAngor]

I spent $5 on it just for Big Surf Island which wasn't available on PC. Thank god for sales.

Did you leave a comment just to correct a grammar mistake?

[@Dreamstalker8002]

I absolutely agree with you this is the best racing game ever made. I still play this game on a daily basis on my PS3 in 2023. If you still play it also here's a little something for you to try to beat. My high score on a stunt run is 2.441 billion! Good luck

[@denizendenizen]

i thought i had u w that score and then read the word billion ima get on that

[@Dreamstalker8002]

@@denizendenizen ..... yes Billion with a B. I've gone over 1 Billion about 7 times and over 2 Billion twice. You have to have Big Surf Island and use the Toy 88 special

[@stephenb7829]

I clicked on the video ready to fight, while you addressed it immediately, jokes on me 😂 Well reviewed

[@realgoodpower]

cool video

[@TychoVan]

burnout is one of my fav games of all time, Im not much of a racer normally, but I love just fucking around in the city and getting high speed the different types of races are really fun too!

[@hiteshk1]

IMO, (in remastered) the map screen required the most work to be done. # when selected a road/street it should highlight the entire stretch of that road. there's no option to zoom in (only zoom out is there). # A fast travel should have been added. OR going back to Junkyard (of your choice) via map screen is much needed. # Option to select destination would have been cool. # An option to add a GPS or a dotted line till finish line would enhance the experience for young or old age players. (veteran players could switch it off). # A speedometer to check the speed would be great. # Starting an event via map screen should also be there. here are some of the features I think could enhance the gamer experience.

[@HeffyG]

I agree with all of these except the speedometer. Burnouts all about the sense of speed, I don’t think seeing how fast you’re going is worth cluttering up the screen with more HUD stuff!

[@lucasLSD]

I disagree with the AI, I often raced alone because I got creative with my routes, bein open really sucked for the battling aspect.

[@Its_LMP]

please tell me the name of the first 2 tracks used at the beginning of the video? Jippy's stuff are awesome but oh my god they have way too much for me to search through on their soundcloud

[@jeromebanks9045]

You should do a video on BLACK

[@PhilipMarcYT]

I really enjoyed BP but it got way too repetitive for me. Once I reached the Elite license I was done.

[@CCJ15S]

Same to me. Although I could play the game again sometime soon...

[@Abyss.8]

Dude i know I'm late to the party,,, but how the fek do I play split screen 2 players?

[@vincentspaans671]

There is no split screen. You can play burnout party to play multiplayer or go online if you have 2 copies and 2 consoles/pc’s

[@CCJ15S]

My only gripe about Burnout Paradise is the slowdowns after you get wrecked mainly by the traffic. At first, that is fine since you feel the impact of a mistake you just made, but after a few times, it just gets more repetitive and boring. Wonder if there was a mod for the PC version that fixes this slowdown issue. And yes, I have played the Remaster version because it's included in the Xbox Game Pass in its EA Play catalog. And no, it doesn't suck for me. One of the best racing games I've ever played, even though it's not the original game.

[@CryptidWubz]

Don't get me wrong burnout paradise was a really good game. But an open world burnout doesn't really work out and it also makes the races confusing and down right annoying. It doesn't help how they botched the game up so bad from the 1.0 version to the final version of the game. Anyways great video!

[@dornsmichel_1364]

You're kinda lucky that the PS4 controller was your only problem in the PC version. It took me like an hour and Community fixes to get this game to even run. According to steam reviews and other online forums I wasn't by far the only one who had problems. From a remaster I would have kinda expected it to just run when I click play. Also apart from the PC version problems the game still has the original bugs from the PS3 version. Like the not working street lights, sound issues on the Krieger Pioneer or the non functioning mileage counters on some cars. I'm also weren't expecting new features but the missing crossplay is pretty disappointing

[@yuri_ortega]

I'm having these same issues on my ps4 version, also the game just completely crashes with no reason at all, unfortunately this "remaster" was totally lazy and has some bugs and glitches that really ruin the experience cuz you expect a ps4/Xbox one game to run much better

[@jeremygeorgia4943]

Personally, I don't mind it. I would have been more upset, if they accidentally broke something, but if it functions like the original and looks better than the original, and if it's still a game that I can't stop playing, then I don't mind if things look a bit better, while I'm playing it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, while I was subscribed to EA's player club, and since my subscription ran out, I miss it a bit. The original is fine, but I really liked the improved & crisp graphics. I don't know if I would have considered it worth its original remastered price, but I am considering getting the game again, so that its final form will be the version I'll be playing for the foreseeable future. (along with Driver: SF)

[@Canvalanche]

Yo dude, we all have opinions on those games made by EA and criterion. I always love the burnout series the most

[@krasttosnp]

Burnout paradise was also planed to have extra content like planes boats and a BIGGER PARADISE CITY, Sadly they got scrapped by the reason that i dont know.

[@yuri_ortega]

It was just because of EA's selfishness and not giving a f*ck about the burnout franchise

[@krasttosnp]

@@yuri_ortega thx for the reminder of my 1 year old comment

[@christooopphheerr9595]

I wish they added new cars car designs but no

[@slowlearner12]

The launch version (version 1.0) tears the remastered version to pieces. Physics, sounds, and sense of speed were downgraded as time and updates kept coming. Also, you sound like you're constantly talking with an eyebrow raised and talking at an angle

[@rayyagamer2011]

Bro, burnout kicks ass,it doesnt even had crash mode

[@MrRhysReviews]

To be honest, the Burnout Paradise OST was a dissapointment cause it was literally the OST from the previous years Burnout Dominator but take out ALL the amazing Heavy Rock/Metal songs that were actually AMAZING (replace those with some pretty MEH songs that were only in Paradise) maybe the OST was hand picked for Paradise but whoever chose to put most of it into Dominator did Paradise a HUGE DISSERVICE 😒

[@allesinallem2675]

Definetly agree, but also mozart and that sh... not my type of music, just doesnt fit the gameplay. At least you can turn it off in the settings. Also im a bit late for this comment lol

[@retro_gamer8587]

Ya, the remaster sucks hardware wise. Whenever I play it, half the time. It crashes, blue screens. Getting into online lobbies doesn't work half the time, it just says "Couldn't join game." Sometimes, when I try to host my own lobby, It doesn't open the game. Seeing what the lobby is doing and driving no longer works. Only says cars, and race. Online takedowns don't show up. There are so many glitches, game crashing bugs, the GP Competition is technically "damaged" so you can't fix it. And get access to the other countries that come with that bike. Only UK. The Olympus Governor doesn't have its camo finish in the remaster, just a black and grey version of the original livery from the first online only Olympus. There is so many more bugs in this game that I can't even think of now. They definitely just did a lazy port that doesn't work half the time. I prefer version 1 on the ps3 before the updates. It's way more fun in my opinion.

[@yuri_ortega]

I feel your pain man, i recently got the ps4 version and was also disappointed for the lazy "remaster" they made, imo these game crashes are unacceptable for a ps4 game and it happens all the time, it's very frustrating!! It's sad how EA just threw this port with so many problems like saying "shut up and play this sh*t"

[@retro_gamer8587]

@@yuri_ortega Ya, the only reason it was released was fan pressure. Plus fans weren't patient enough to let the devs fix all the problems before release. So like all EA titles, this was rushed. A shame too because there were so many things that could've been added or fixed to this game.

[@yuri_ortega]

@@retro_gamer8587 Yeah it had so much potential, but unfortunately it was wrecked lol

[@thomashoang6789]

Started playing this game on PS4 yesterday. Played less than an hour and I already feel like I have done everything the game has to offer. Very repetitive. I dislike the concept of racing games in an open world. They need closed tracks that you can select.

[@CCJ15S]

But that doesn't mean racing games with closed tracks will get bored as well? Open world racing games are the least boring for me.

[@russelledwards001]

Buy an OG Xbox. Then buy burnout 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then forget about paradise.

[@treetimefuntime6638]

I'm Gonna disagree with you and say best racing game is Burnout Revenge.

[@HeffyG]

I love Burnout Revenge but I feel like Paradise has more replay value?

[@zacharysnyder2520]

And I will disagree with you.

[@MrIDGAF]

@@HeffyG I agree, I played burnout 3 and revenge. But paradise is just timeless (probably because of the multiplayer). It’s like a perfect ending to the burnout series.

[@SebStudI0s]

[@LeaveMeAloneFBI]

Game is piss easy and boring once you reach a certain part of the game. Never once felt challenged playing this game

[@YoungsterJoey151]

Burnout 3 > any other burnout

[@raunakgujralsongs9135]

I disagree

[@nvx78]

It suck because it's based on Burnout Paradise v 1.9 which has nerfed top speed, physics and AI compared to v 1.0.
