Ass Creed

but the first game was open wo-

...oh

It only ruined it becuase they never went back to previous formula.
Driving Dangerous is your only option now.

Regardless Paradise is fun as fuck, I'd play the sequel if it ever happened.

Did it not sell well or something? How come they never made a classic Burnout after?

Haven't played any of the games that came after so I don't know what happened to the franchise, but Burnout Paradise is a rare example of open world done well.

>Haven't played any of the games that came after
Because there aren't any, the franchised got binned after Paradise

Open world racing is a horrible meme. Every game used to have cool tracks full of FUN eye candy, now it's just empty roads in copypasted environments. What the fuck was the point?

EA like Burnout Paradise and made them make this same game over and over again under the NFS label for years to come. Then all the talent left and they couldn't even do that anymore, so EA made them work on Battlefield lmao

having to race to the same six landmarks in every single event got dull pretty quickly for me, never finished it

no idea why it's so highly praised

I never understand why this game gets so much universal praise.

It doesnt feel like Burnout at all, and is missing lots of things that made Takedown so great.

Paradise isn't a bad game, it's still fun as hell it just never had the same atmosphere as the earlier games.

The compass point destinations really ruined it, yeah.
Big Surf Island figured out how to properly do races, but then there were only like 10 of them.

Paradise was pretty good, this aint a good example user.

NFSU2 pulled off open world pretty nicely but I can't think of many other games that did.

I would soonerJust play 2/3/Revenge/Dominator on repeat, it's a shame no more like that were made but i'll always have fond memories and of them and hopefully they emulate fine.

Open world really killed the racing genre, PGR4 was the last truly great racing game imo

Absolutely worked better in tight well designed levels.

Easily the best burnout game.

completely agree OP, this is the most overrated racing game of all time and it's aged like trash, Revenge is better in every single way

I like Forza Horizon.

Easily the worst burnout game.

Yeah Burnout Paradise is still fun time but open world doesn't add anything to it.

Open world was not a negative to MGSV, repetitiveness was.

The game isn't that bad, but it's a bad Burnout game. And so short. The event system sucks. The city is small and the layout sucks. The cars suck.

It's a decent racing game, just a shit burnout game

Burnout Paradise is a shit game if you like the previous ones

God I miss PGR.
fuck activision

>Open world racing is a horrible meme. Every game used to have cool tracks full of FUN eye candy, now it's just empty roads in copypasted environments
This user gets it

We need to just make diverse tracks first and then the "world". Or just model a massive world like TDU but separate it with bridges, deserts and countrysides.
yeah, i was thinking i'd get ground zeroesx15 but it was a ubisoft open world instead

>took away those excellent, well crafted crash mode challenges from previous games
>is the only game that got remastered instead of the better ones
I hated Burnout Paradise. Fuck EA

It should have had multiple levels the size of Ground Zeroes map (camp omega? I forget).

I have a feeling most people who liked Paradise didn't play the older Burnout games.
