Burnout Paradise 2 Teased By Criterion, Is It A Next-Gen Launch Title?

Posted on Saturday, January 26 @ 13:13:16 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

"Take me down to Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty." Well, at least the cars are, anyway.

Criterion Games Creative Director Alex Ward teased the possibility of a sequel to Burnout Paradise with the most unsubtle Tweet imaginable. He posted:

If we were to make a sequel to Burnout Paradise - what should be in it? #BurnoutParadise2

Criterion Games just released Need for Speed: Most Wanted and no future projects have been announced. Therefore, the possibility of a Burnout Paradise 2 is realistic.

This begs the question, could Burnout Paradise 2 be a next-gen game? Criterion pushed the racing genre to new heights with Burnout Paradise in 2008 using a highly-detailed open-world, which was new to the series at the time, and impressive damage modeling. Current generation hardware dampens the potential for the next game, and more RAM alone could improve the game space tremendously.

With Criterion typically releasing one game per year, we can expect whatever its cooking to come within the next 12 months, and later this year Sony and Microsoft are expected to relase their new hardware. It's a match made in heaven.

Next-gen rumors aside, what would you like to see from a sequel to Burnout Paradise?

    No open world Burnout! I didn't like Paradise for this reason, it just felt...boring and aimless. I want to just jump into a race like the older games.

    i agree, paradise fell into the EVERYTHING MUST BE OPEN WORLD!!1~ trap of half a decade ago, a more linear approach would do the series more justice imo. who cares about open world when all you can do is drive a damn car. online was pretty neat though

    I enjoyed it a lot more than these recent Need for Speed games. I enjoyed that you could drive around and during races you had to decide when to turn. NFS games are just massive, linear highways.

    From NFS 47: Universe Highway addition. Soon to be announced in 2023. You will drive around in space on cosmic highways, but you start by escaping the destruction of earth. You can add rocket jets and boosters to your car and it will be open universe. Driving around online meeting other people in space, but it will be as open as the real universe. It will take 3 years just to drive to the next planet. They want to really pull of the "I'm driving in space" feeling.

    I love burnout paradise. I never find myself bored. From exploring to find gates and billboards to beating street times, I always find something to do. A sequel would be awesome, although I would like a crash mode separate from the racing and exploration of the open world.
