like when you slo-mo explode your car next to a bus there should have been a couple dozen little ragdoll bodies flung out all over the street or something

head-on collisions shoudl have sent bodies flying through the windshield


i'm not even looking for blood or gibs, it could have been just blocky textureless models like on that old "fling a dude down the stairs" game, or maybe like those old 'crash test dummies' toys.




do they even make burnout games any more

I don't think trying to be carmageddon or gta driving would make the burnout games better at all, actually, op.

Burnout 3: Takedown is one of the top 3 video games ever released. It's literally perfect in every way.

they had the Flatout games a long time ago, which was just a Burnout ripoff with ragdoll bodies flying out of the windshields and stuff.

also ragdoll olympics

Last year I reinstalled the Flatout remake to find out why people like those games so much and I never did find out.

Gas Guzzlers Extreme is very good though.

Burnout has always been about crashing and exploding cars. Ragdolls wouldn't make sense in Crash Junctions and the like.

nfs:mw '12 had people in the cars and they made a point of having as many open-top cars as possible, but then the only thing the driver does is a little headshake when you fail an event or get caught by the cops

Burnout Paradise was a nearly perfect racing game so if they just remake that but bigger I'll be happy

The whole "open world meets racing game" concept was weird and distracting, for me at least.

B3 is perfection. B2 is also perfection, but in a more refined scale. B1 is surprisingly good given the technical constraints.

I too like spending more than 20 minutes on one race, on tracks that are boring, to music that is either boring and bad or boring and distracting, with a boost mechanic that feels muted and unsatisfying and collisions that even at the time were janky.

All these faults that Burnout 1 has do make Burnout 2 shine even brighter, though, and for that I thank Criterion for doing it right the second time and just hitting it out of the park every single time after.

I see where you're coming from since B3 has a very good ratio of racing to not-racing

I remember being really stoked when they patched bikes into burnout paradise and then immediately let down when there was no slow-mo crash animations for them

Great Joe

Bikes were still fun to ride around though, and I liked that if you were having a hard time with the challenges you could just switch over to night-time and do the piss-easy night-time stages. :)

The Crash Time series is an alright knockoff. It never really gets as good as Burnout games do but it has its own little charm. Give it a try. :)

It's just so good, they got everything right in that game.

...and then the annoying Paradise came out which ruined the formula and then we got the utter trash that was Unbounded.
