The Classic Racing Game Burnout Paradise Is Back And Remastered
Criterion Games has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming release of Burnout Paradise Remastered, which will give you guys a chance to play the iconic decade-old game on modern consoles.
Burnout Paradise was one of those classic car racing games that you just loved to play. Open-world gameplay in he fictional Paradise City, semi-realistic panel damage (this was 2008, after all) and the option of online play combined with silly-fast speeds and dubious cornering physics that gave it a big slice of arcade charm.
You could pull incredible stunts. You’d have a crash and see crumpled panels, dented doors and scratched bumpers, and this came in an age where some racing games were barely even acknowledging visible crash damage.
The video claims that the updated release is basically the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. The graphics are still old-school, just less pixelated, and the very pretty panel damage of the original has been maintained. Check out the trailer above and prepare to relive a classic.
It launches on 16 March for Playstation 4 and Xbox One, priced at £34.99, and comes with the original base game as well as the eight add-on packs released during the ‘Year of Paradise’ campaign. A Windows version will eventually be available via EA’s Origin platform.
Comments
Burnout Paradise was originally released on 22nd January 2008, so it will be exactly 10 years old by tomorrow. Isn’t 40€ a bit too steep for a 10 year old game? Remastered or not, the game already ran at 60 fps in 4k on PC, which makes that statement a bit useless. Especially when it even says “4k not supported on all platforms” and looks exactly like it did 10 years ago. So what exactly did they “remaster”? Nothing, as it seems from the trailer.
In case you don’t know, you can literally buy the game for less than 5€ on eBay used or 10€ on Steam new.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Burnout Paradise, it’s one of my all time favourite games, but asking 40€ for a more or less unchanged 10 year old game is ridiculous. That’s just EA’s attempt to milk as much money as possible from as little effort as necessary.
Or, you could get the OG one for less, with backwards compatibility.
They better have Paradise city playing when you login.
deep breath
TAKE ME DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY WHERE THE GRASS IS REMASTERED AND THE GAME IS PRETTY
Wft?! From the trailer I thought it was going to be an andriod/ios port. The graphics look the same or worse IMO… what a cash grab
