New Burnout trailer welcomes us to 'Paradise'

by Dan Dormer { Nov 9th 2007 at 4:00AM }

While Burnout Paradise isn't appearing on shelves until January 22, 2008, that doesn't mean we aren't already planning on taking a "sick day" from the 'stiq (cover blown!) to enjoy this vehicular destruction porn without interruption. The "Welcome to Paradise City" trailer offers us a look at the city, which is all available right from the start (know as "Freeburn").

That didn't fill up your tank? Why, then check out our hands-on impressions to satisfy your need for speed. Come on, turn those keys and drive.

dear momma can you hear me laughin?

I'm impressed apart from the bus that pops up on the road near the start of the video. Just as the guy says "from the sun splashed beaches of big surf" and there is a ferris wheel type thing in the shot. There's no place for stuff popping up in this day and age. FOR SHAME!!!

I've gotta say, it doesn't look that impressive really. After having played TDU and Revenge recently, I'm not completely convinced.

Ah well, I've not played it yet - that might change everything =]

Anyone else notice the EA|HD sign at the end of the bill board? That looks siiiiiiiccccckkkkkk

I'm really looking forward to this and I like the fact that there is no loading. For far, no complaints from me.

I was really impressed by the demo.

Very excited for this game. It looks like it has a Crazy Taxi feel to it mixed with the whole free roaming stuff and I love that.

Graphics aren't everything but this does look graphically superior to previous games IMO.

HectorTheValiant @ Nov 9th 2007 7:45AM

Lol I mean the trailer...

Billy @ Nov 9th 2007 11:01AM

I was gonna say, where the hell did you get a demo?? :)

Obie @ Nov 9th 2007 8:10AM

I normally hate racing games, but I love the Burnout series. I guess the level of destruction and encouraging road rage helps a lot. ;)

Exo @ Nov 9th 2007 8:17AM

Wow congrats They took everything that was unique about it and just made it into another EA racer

Phillip @ Nov 9th 2007 8:32AM

*drool*

Pureshooter @ Nov 9th 2007 8:38AM

They need to do a sequel to Black.

GRANTED @ Nov 9th 2007 9:53AM

that cover art is the best i've seen...

FidliousWong @ Nov 9th 2007 10:25AM

EA: How would you guys like to make Midnight Club 4?
Criterion: We'd love it!
*high fives*

Synner @ Nov 9th 2007 10:39AM

Were those licensed cars I saw in the trailer?

why not the LS2/LS7? @ Nov 9th 2007 11:31AM

No. There are no "real" cars in Burnout.

There are 3 other trailers talking about 3 of the models of cars in the game, all of which are fictional.

Me, I wanna drive that El Camino-alike.

I hope the in-game looks anything like these movies.

I'll miss crash mode.

Jim Franks @ Nov 9th 2007 11:26AM

Crash was one of my favorite modes. I'm still not sure I'm going to be picking this up since it is missing that.

Billy @ Nov 9th 2007 11:01AM

God damn I can't wait for this game.

peshue @ Nov 9th 2007 11:49AM

No Guns n' Roses? that very disappointing.

Mrfreezie @ Nov 9th 2007 1:08PM

I'll still pick it up, but it really looks like every other burnout game but now with a need for speed-like open world..

svenhoek @ Nov 10th 2007 6:46PM

No crash mode makes me weep. Crash was the best mode hands down. Hopefully there will be crash events or something.

GoonieGooGoo @ Nov 9th 2007 3:58PM

Well....it seems that EA learned something from the underrated TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED.....

I loved that you could just drive in that game all over the place and not be involved in anything in particular.......

Nothing like organizing a pack of 10 cars to just drive up the mountain side to see how far we could go.

Let's hope this game has that sense of fun.
