The remastered version of one of the most popular arcade racing games of the last generation will hit the stores on March 16th, supporting both, 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, but that option will be sadly available only for the owners of PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. Electronic Arts has also announced a PC version, but it still doesn't have a release date. So, how does the game hold up?
Well, you shouldn't expect to see a new quality here. It's the same
Burnout Paradise, just with the higher resolution and frame rate. It's a shame, because with the power of the current consoles, developers can achieve wonders (just look at BluePoint's
Shadow of the Colossus remake), but at least we have a confirmation that Electronic Arts still remembers about Criterion's (once) glorious franchise.
In 2008, the original Burnout Paradise™ came roaring off the starting line ready to demolish the competition. Featuring breakneck racing, high-flying stunts, and — most importantly — shameless amounts of automotive destruction, Burnout Paradise set the bar for what an action racing game could be. And now, ten years later, it's back and ready to show a new generation of consoles the true definition of a “smash hit.”
Burnout Paradise Remastered releases on March 16, 2018.
