Bring back the physics from Burnout 2. There was some drive in that game and far less floaty slippery drift garbage. You actually had to corner in Burnout 2. The whole series has been dumbed down to a hold the accelerator and press left and right slightly game.
Test Drive Unlimited makes for a better Burnout game right now even though it doesn't have user car damage.

There is a lot of love for Burnout 2...but I found it to be quite boring. Burnout Revenge was the most exciting of the bunch and I recommend it. It really isn't a driving game, when you get right down to it, but it is fun as hell.
Revenge IMO, is the best. Burnout 3 is great also. Burnout 2 is a fanastic pure arcade racer, but it's not nearly as over the top awesome as Burnout 3, and Revenge.B.K. said:
In other words, all three are excellent games in their own right, but I think Revenge is the best game overall.

The moment you would hit other cars, except for oncoming, without crashing yourself the game essentially started to play itself.

Dear EA:
We all downloaded the GTA trailer the day it came out. We don't need to see it again.

Traffic checking was a welcome addition IMO. It eliminated the monotony of online races in Burnout 3, where the outcome basically hinged on how often you could avoid traffic.
"Oh, I've been in first place for over 6 minutes, but someone's been right on my tail this whole time! Better not cra... *swipes the rear end of a random car moving through the intersection* ... F%&*! Well that was a waste of time."
I could live without the checked cars going airborne Looney Tunes-style, though.

THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME. DRIVING REALLY REALLY FAST AND NOT HITTING ANYTHING.
Traffic checking would be fine as a mini game (like the ones in Revenge where you had to check a certain amount with a time period). As an addition to the main game it just made it less about skillful driving at insane speeds.

I think it looks good but maybe not quite what I expect from a next gen Criterion game. The teaser did it's job though and I bet the high speed crashes are ****ing spectacular

So is traffic checking in or not?
Because that's what ruined Burnout Revenge.

I'm sorry but as much as the EA burnout team swings from Sony's nuts and brags about the PS3 being the primary platofrm this game looks mediocro at best.
Where are the motostorm quality visuals?
edit: and no I could care a less about Aliasing thats no somthing that bothers me one bit in games.

umm it's an open world game, there aren't any tracks in the game, just one big city. Kinda like Need For Speed Underground 2
Sorry, I forgot about this thread till just now.plagiarize said:
The Crash Junctions in BO2 were good, I thoroughly enjoyed them, but the addition of aftertouch and icons in BO3 really took the skill away from it. Im still not keen on aftertouch but you are forced to use it to progress in the game, racing and junctions.
I agree the AI was pretty dumb in BO2, but the actual locations felt like you were illegally racing in a city. Its sort of hard to explain, but since BO3 its felt like the cities have been built around the tracks, it also feels more like Wipeout on rails in a majority of places. As said before by someone else, you had more control and had to actually steer the cars. Its not like you slam into a rail on a corner and just ride the rail pushing the AI infront of you into a crash. BO2 on the other hand, it was all about out driving your opponent, whether it was AI or a mate in splitscreen. Now its about slamming into the opposition as hard as you can. I preferred the old way, rubbing neck and neck, moving apart to avoid an oncoming vehicle and merging again to continue rubbing.
I bought BO3 on release day but I sold it about a week or so later, it left a bitter taste in my mouth. BO:R I enjoyed even if it was because I bought it for less than half price, but the traffics checking and preview laps needed to go.
Fingers crossed Burnout Paradise delivers but at thispoint it is hard to see how well it will actually work.
See, in most cases, I could easily overtake the AI and spend the rest of the race driving alone in front of them. That was compounded by...
...the incredibly boring track design. I found most of the tracks to be dreadfully dull. Driving around the overly lengthy and boring tracks with no opponents in sight simply wasn't fun.
BO3 and Revenge may not be racing games in the traditional sense, but they ARE exciting and keep you on your toes. I simply could never get into the older Burnout titles.

Music from BO2 (dynamic music) + crash junctions from BO2 + racing gameplay from BO3 + production value from BO4 + Boost mechanics from Dominator (mix of BO2 and BO3 boost) would make a perfect Burnout Paradise.
It would be nice if they move away from typical EA Trax, I must admit.
What would have been cool for Paradise is a high quality soundtrack design specifically for the game (someone like Brian Transeau would have been an awesome choice especially considering his fantastic 5.1 mixes).

I'd like to habe Burnout 5 as a mix of 3 anf 4. I didnt play the first ones, but 3 and four both had their advantages. I hate that shitty crash junction-thing in 4. Its far better in 3, its simple but it's fun, and I play because of fun 
I dont know, if I liked the fact, that you could push away vehicles coming from the opposit direction, but it sure didnt made my nerves suffer as they did in burnout 3, when i crashed into some vehicle 2 metres in front of the finish.
In Artstyle of the Courses they should use a mix. The nice, sunny Courses of B3 and some more dark courses like the B4 ones.

I really think traffic checking worked out well in the end. It's a neat layer of complexity that still manages to reward skilled driving (driving on the wrong side of the road).
I'm rather fond of the artstyle we've been shown in the teaser, however. The blue hue used to paint this world is quite different from the previous games. I wouldn't mind seeing dramatic palette shifts as the sun sets, however...

I wish it was more useful against human opponents though and that the civilian cars weren't that floaty when you hit them (i.e., launching into the air). In the single player you could eliminate other racers pretty easily with traffic checking, but I don't think that was even possible online. Other than that, I agree with you.dark10x said:
That said, I enjoyed Revenge just as much as Burnout 2. Burnout 3 disappointed me for various reasons, though it did have a good online multiplayer.

Revenge is worst burnout. The camera angle is ****ed. Why is it so far back of the car? I cant see shit!

Burnout 2 was the best! I beat that game 100% without cheats.
What an awesome racer

Motorstorm has the "luxury" of running at half the framerate thus PS3 has twice as much time to draw more complex graphics in that game, compared to Burnout 5.
that said, I think Burnout will be a prettier game overall. the graphics might not be the most spectacular ever seen, but they look really nice IMO. I wanna see more vids
