Burnout is back - well at least a remastered version is! 10 years since Burnout Paradise Paradise was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 EA have confirmed the release of a fully remastered version for PS4 and Xbox One due on 16th March, 2018 (with a PC version to follow later in the year but nothing for Nintendo Switch owners sorry).
Burnout Paradise Remastered includes the original base game and the eight add-on game packs released during the Year of Paradise (excluding the Time Savers DLC). That means we get Big Surf Island along with a whole host of bikes and cars including my favourite - the Carson GT Nighthawk - yes Michael! Burnout Paradise Remastered also features the obligatory range of technical enhancements for greater visual fidelity, including high resolution textures for players to explore Paradise City in 4K with supporting 60FPS on the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X.
“When people think of Criterion Games, they often remember the Burnout franchise and for good reason. What we created 10 years ago, we feel is still fun and unique to this day in the gaming industry,” said Matt Webster, General Manager at Criterion Games. “Burnout Paradise is an arcade racer built to provide players the thrill of racing with their friends, in a free form way that was both seamless and immersive, but also a little crazy with all the different stunts and crashes players could pull off. With the release of this remaster, we’re able to share this action-packed ride with a whole new generation of players.”
Burnout Paradise Remastered is available to preorder now from The Game Collection.
