In short, the remastered version of the game looks prettier, gets all the DLCs that were released and can be run at 4k at 60 fps. There is no PC version right now but PC players will get a taste of remaster later this year.
Rolling down the highway in a fast car, while listening to Axl Rose sing "Take me down to the Paradise City" and then you see a sweet ramp and go full throttle catching a load of air as you gaze at the vast open city below. That is Burnout Paradise, perhaps one of the most recognised titles in the series (at least here in India).
And now Criterion Games, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. has announced Burnout Paradise Remastered, a remaster of the 2008 game that was also unfortunately the last main game of the series. Burnout Paradise Remastered will become available March 16th, 2018 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It will surely take many veteran gamers on a long trip down the nostalgia highway and also give a taste of the masterpiece to the younger generation that did not play the original.
Pull off high-octane stunts and create insane car destruction in one of the greatest arcade-driving games ever created.
Burnout Paradise Remastered includes the original base game and the eight add-on game packs released during the Year of Paradise, including the extension to the drivable world with Big Surf Island. Burnout Paradise Remastered also features a 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. While in my opinion the original game still hold up pretty well, the update look will be a sure welcome as are the DLC packs.
“When people think of Criterion Games, they often remember the Burnout franchise and for good reason. What we created 10 years ago, is as fun and unique today as it was back then,” said Matt Webster, General Manager, Criterion Games. He further added “With the release of this remaster, we’re able to share this action-packed ride and innovate online vehicle play with a whole new generation of players.”
Burnout Paradise Remastered is available for pre-order for Rs 2,375 ($39.99) on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game will be available for PC through Origin but that will be later this year and will include the Big Surf Island add-on. EA Access members will also get to play Burnout Paradise Remastered before its worldwide launch, starting on March 9th, 2018 via the Play First Trial.
Now I do not want to have false hopes but enough sales for this remaster could translate into a revival of the Burnout series! (fingers crossed)
