*** Official Burnout Paradise Thread ***

honestly i'm not liking it.

the whole free roaming thing is pretty lame IMO for a game like this. i loved the diversity among tracks in the previous versions, now every track looks like it may look the same.

i also hate in games when driving that I have to look at a mini-map in the corner every 5 seconds to see what the best route is to take (NFS:MW at some points, and in GTA type games).

i dunno, i'm not saying it's going to suck, just that i'm not going into this one w/any high expectations. burnout revenge is one of my favorite xbox360 games and it's a shame this series went in the free roaming direction.

I'm cautiously optimistic that they'll get it right. 🙂

I'm not sure what he means, but for my money, Burnout 3: Takedown > Burnout: Revenge (fourth game in the series).

Takedown was probably my favorite racing game ever.

Couldn't agree more.
 
I've played Takedown and Revenge in the Burnout series and liked them both very much... Revenge a bit more though.

I'd like to see this game (or previous ones) on the Wii.

They better also have classic crash mode or else well, I'm just not getting it.

yea man they are just overdoing it.

the car checking in revenge i thought was pretty dumb and made stuff too easy, but now they have a crash mode where you can crash, then continue to gain momentum and roll down the street?

it just doesn't work for me. i hope the rest of the game makes up for it. i can deal with some stupid game modes as long as the rest of em are cool. i hated the traffic check mode in burnout revenge where you could close your eyes and just accellerate, but I did it as I was getting all gold stars in that game.
 
From what the 1up and EGM guys are saying, it is like the best game ever. It looks pretty awesome. I never played a burnout game though. Supposedly the demo is next week.

One of my favorite parts of the previous Burnout games was the preset 'scenerios' for Crash Mode. Traffic Check was definitely a dumb addition but it was mindless and far enough apart that I didn't care that much. Crash Mode really was one of the biggest parts of the game that people fell in love with.... myself included.

You're right, it looks like they're really overdoing it.

Yeah, now I cant wait for Thursday to come soon enough. We have a party at work starting at 3 and ending at 5 (we can stay later if we want). I doubt I'll stay later now. 😀
 
Takedown was an amazing game, I remember playing the hell out of that one. Not sure Paradise is on the top of my list, though, I'm just tired of buying games right now, and that probably won't change by next month.

Takedown is an awesome game.
 
i hope this doesn't disappoint like Assassin's Creed. I had the highest expectations for AC and was heartbroken after playing it. Burnout Revenge was my favorite game on the 360... the online was awesome..... kinda pessimissitc about the whole roaming as well....i pray that Criterion delivers [face_pray]
 
I'm excited for it just from hearing the 1Up guys raving about it. I've played a few of the BO games in the past, but never owned one. This will be my first purchase!
 
Revenge is the most played game on my 360. Desipte it being (considered an) older 360 game--I still love playing it. Hell, my wife loves playing it too.

When I first heard about Paradise and it's open-ended nature, I was a little discouraged because I really appreciated the structure of Revenge. But, like Mo said, and I agree, am cautiously optimistic about the game. We'll see what happens here.

BTW I hear that the game looks amazing.
