Fans of the Burnout series are eagerly awaiting the release of the next generation game, Burnout Paradise. Now Electronic Arts (EA) has revealed more details of the game. The PS3 version will have Rumble controls, 3-Button EasyDrive and PlayStation Eye for instant mugshots. The Xbox 360 version will also have Mugshots using Xbox Live Vision.
Here are some main features of Burnout Paradise:
- True Open World Freedom: The entire city will be available from the outset, giving players the freedom to explore this immersive world known as Paradise City. Experience open world driving Burnout style as the action begins with you, but it doesn’t have to end.
EasyDrive Online Social Gaming: See your friends online with the EasyDrive Friends List and connect with them instantly without having to wait or exit your game. Burnout Paradise is revolutionizing the way players jump on and offline, making it as simple and quick as possible.
Single-player Events: Choose from Race, Marked Man, Road Rage, and Stunt by pulling up to the numerous stoplights in the game to initiate the event. The action isn’t forced any longer, as players have the freedom to start and even end a challenge at their leisure.
Alex Ward is the Creative Director at EA Criterion Studios. He comments, “This is the true beginning of next generation racing. On PS3 and Xbox 360, we are delivering a game that brings brilliant graphics into HD at 60 frames per second. Burnout Paradise does something that no other Burnout game has ever done, it gives the player full control on how to play the game. At Criterion, we have a long history of delivering stand-out software on the PlayStation consoles. The whole team is fired up about the chance to carry that heritage into the PS3 generation.”
Burnout Paradise is being developed at EA Criterion in Guildford. The game will release for the PS3 and the Xbox 360 in the winter of 2007. Click here to see a Burnout Paradise video that we had posted some time ago.
