However, the game won everyone over back in 2008 by giving you the freedom to do what you wanted. From the opening strains of Guns ‘N Roses’ Paradise City (a song that the game actively mate me hate after hearing it hundreds of times) to the enthusiastic commentary of DJ Atomika, being back of the streets of Paradise City felt almost like muscle memory, like I hadn’t been away.įor those of you new to the game, this was one of the original open world racers, back when people didn’t really want their racing games to be set in living, breathing cities. Having spent a frankly ridiculous amount of time on the original, unlocking everything and playing it online with friends for the best part of a year, this remaster felt comfortable and reassuring right away. However, with Need for Speed: Payback getting caught up in last year’s loot box scandal (despite being a very entertaining game once Criterion adjusted it and fixed the player progression), it was time for a quick win and a remaster of 2008’s Burnout Paradise seems like just the thing to get the fans onside but can a ten year old game still cut it in the 4K age?

There’s a reason that there are so many Need for Speed games, it’s ridiculously profitable for EA with each iteration selling bucketloads each year which answers the most obvious question ‘when is Burnout coming back?’ and until now, that wasn’t going to happen.
