That's a tall statement about Burnout 3... and I completely agree with it. I do love me some Paradise - I played it more than I care to admit - but nothing beats 3 for me.
I love Burnout too, but EA seems to be more interested in Need For Speed nowadays. I also love Burnout 3 the most but I have an extreme love hate relationship with Revenge. More love though lol.
I love the Burnout series so much. Thank you for yet another fantastic Complete History vid! My favorite is Revenge but Paradise and Takedown are masterpieces as well.
Burnout 3 Takedown would only be perfect if it had 720p support. 480p makes the game a bit harder in an unfair way sometimes. This game NEEDS an HD re-release.
I've never had much experience with burnout. When I was a kid I just played the games my parents bought my brother when no one was looking mainly NSF games and Forza. The only experience I had with Burnout was playing Burnout Paradise with my brother in the hospital when my sister was there obviously when my parents weren't there.
Tats TopVideos Burnout: Paradise was my entrance into the series because of Dead Space (It was an on disc demo). I need to find time to invest in the series.
Amen. Loved the original on XBOX, and I thought they progressively went down hill little by little every iteration since, losing the character of the original game and making it into some type of over-the-top arcade racer. Almost like they hired on Michael Bay to destroy our childhood favorite *Burnout*.
Yeah. I have to agree some of the handling of the cars in the original game can be difficult. But I think that was because of the cars you may of been using in the video. Ie the Muscle Dodge Viper, Saloon GT or the Pickup. The other cars like Coupe and Sedan are actually alright and fairly nimble. Bus and Tow Truck can be pretty easy too, cause there's a glitch where you can slam into the back of a car (not truck or bus) and you won't activate the crash cutscene. I also like the feature that you see the silhouettes of the drivers in each car, and they took that out of Burnout Paradise. and I love the replays too of the first game. I covered that in my Top 5 Reasons I Enjoyed Burnout ^w^
true, I do like Burnout Revenge's speed though and sound design. I think it's the fastest Burnout game. I'm planning to put that in my video of Top Fastest Racing Games. along with Burnout 3 Takedown. I still feel that both games deserve a mention, can't have one without the other =P But I'm glad Burnout Crash wasn't mentioned either, that was an abomination.
I have the original for GameCube, Takedown for PS2 and Legend for PSP. Love them all. I never knew it had a big fan community. I think I'll have to pick up Paradise for PS3. It looks fun.
Burnout 2 and 3 really kept me going for a while, wonderful games. Appreciated the nod to Split/Second as well, one of the most underappreciated racers ever made!
I thought Burnout 3 was awesome, but Paradise was okay. The only thing that kept Burnout Paradise from being better in my opinion was the lack of Crash Mode. I think that Crash Mode would of looked awesome in Paradise's engine.
Absolutely loved that video dude! I'm with you on Paradise being the pinnacle! Those challenges you could do with friends were such fun and the island dlc is probably my favourite dlc ever! This and F-Zero X will always be favourite racers ever!
Thank you for the unexpected trailer at the end. I didn't know that exists! Albeit, doesn't seem like a complete experience, it has promise! Your video is fantastic, enjoyed the whole thing. I wish there could be a remake of B3:T in the Paradise engine, and for DJ Striker to make a comeback with new (and hopefully less cringe-worthy) quips and comments; and to be able to mix and match tracks, setting up your own routes and playing them in 4-player split-screen. xD
Great video Daniel. It may be a older game but Burnout Paradise is the racing game I always go back to, logged in so many hours on console and as soon as I saw it on Steam I just had to buy it. Can't explain what it is, just something about it makes me want to go back to play it even to this day.
The funny thing is that the team that took on burnout 2 actually did the port of the ps2 hot pursuit 2, in which it was almost a completely different game to the other two ports. It's my favourite nfs game by far (because really it's a burnout 3 trial)
Lovely stuff. I don't usually play racers, but Paradise was quality. Definitely more exciting than most racing games- it's very cool how the series evolved from a fun crash simulator to an open world masterclass
Burnout 2, Playstation 2, Logitech force feedback wheel, bumper view, constant boost through oncoming traffic = Easily one of the best experiences I've had from over 30 years of gaming
Burnout Revenge x360 version is my personal fav cuz it was a slightly more polished version of 3 like was said in the review. Revenge has my favorite tracks, car design, soundtrack and aesthetic. I liked the grittier color palette, traffic checking and more closed in tracks w/ timed road rage mode; there was never a dull moment imo. I still get why 3 or paradise can be someone’s fav too because they’re brilliant and might be objectively better, even tho revenge is the sweet spot imo.
Not sure Mario Kart and Wipeout can be put in the same category as Arcade racers like Datona, Vrally and such. But hey. Burnout Revenge is my personal fave, the checking is good fun and the visuals and impact moments are top notch. And they say it's a Delorien, it's nothing like a DMC12. ;) Great work again dude.
really great video, I have a massive love for burnout. For some reason I always thought Thrill Drive was an inspiration for Burnout as it shares a lot with the early Burnout in my opinion.
@@slopesgameroom I'm here from the future to let you know that Paradise just came out a couple of months ago on Switch. Still, not having the original trilogy remastered on current generation consoles is a crime against humanity. At least give us Takedown!
@@dvt1393 I would love to get Takedown (or even Revenge) on the switch. I am not a fan of Paradise (plenty of other styles of games I could play for open world feels) so I shan't be purchasing it.
Finally found this one. I have to say the last great burn out was the xbox360 revenge. Being colour blind the open world paradise was too hard to see the corners at that speed where as the track based ones were perfection. Yes I know it indicates when to turn but there wasn t enough difference in the colours on the corners to see the gap for me. It just blended so well at speed it was impossible. Burnout also wreaked every other driving game that doesn't have a boost button as nothing ever felt as fast since. Great video and yes burnout is well worth everyone's time.
Nice vid. Burnout nut myself, have pretty much all of them. My fave is Burnout 2 (i played 1 & 2 on my Gamecube) as it's combo system is simple yet very rewarding and i feel that crashing your opponents ('takedown' is such an Americanism) detracted from the nigh on perfect simple gameplay of 2. I suppose the crashing was added for online multiplayer .. I do feel however that Ridge Racer, especially Ridge Racers (PSP) and Ridge Racer 3D (3DS) are my favourite arcade racers ever with special mention to F Zero GX for being flippin fantastic. I did buy Dager Zone the other day to keep the support for Three Fields, fingers crossed they can achieve success with their studio and hopefully make a successor to Burnout.
Burnout Paradise is my favorite for four simple reasons. 1) The game has a very diverse driving area. I can spend hours drifting up and down in the mountains alone. Should I get bored of that I can always drive around the city like a madman, pretend to be a locomotive or get into hot wheels mode and do lots of stunts. 2) The handling of each individual car means you'll get a different playing experience. To me the only car that sucks is the Mesquite,. Every other car has its own unique personality. My top two favorites are the Touge Custom and the Revenge Racer. 3) Custom soundtracks. This is the reason I always come back to this game. Driving around at night with intense / fast paced music in the background is something of a high for me. Metal, Eurobeat, and Dark Trance is what I recommend for the best experience. 4) Lastly the online free mode, if it wasn't for this then the game would get stale pretty quick. Nothing beats having a pissed off player(s) chasing you around half the map.
I love The Complete History series, and I love Burnout games. Loved the GCN original (very difficult though), was amazed at the graphical upgrade in B2, loved Takedown on PS2, loved Paradise although it took me longer to get into. I still own multiple copies of all them, across different consoles. This vid makes me want to dig 'em out again. Thanks!
i absolutly adored Burnout revenge, the fact that we wont get to see another Burnout is very sad for me. I would even take a remaster of the old games so i could play them all on my PC, the fact EA owns Cri makes me not wan't them to make a new one incase EA puts a "creative finger" on the games development.
Awesome video, dude. I never really played any of the Burnout games, but I still loved to learn about them. Though now...you've done Burnout, you've done GTA, I don't suppose you'll ever try to meet in the middle there and give us the complete history of Midnight Club? Ha ha ha.
But you know why Burnout 3 is the best one yet? Not only the gameplay plus the maps, but the soundtracks too! I mean, let's face it, listening to rock is pretty damn great in normal days. But in B3, you could literally cause havoc on the road just by listening some heavy rock and pop punk tunes from Ash, MCR, FOB and Jimmy Eat World and so much more!
quite funny to see the cover of the speedboat atack game at 5:25. It's from a games collection released in Brazil by a newspaper called Folha de São Paulo. I actually had that exact edition back in the day, but it had vanished from my mind until now.
Great vid! I do love Paradise the most as well, but all the games are awesome! Paradise just nails everything that I want, the feeling of speed, the precise and satisfying controls, the soundtrack, the ACTUALLY NICELY MADE open world (those feel so empty in most racing games, like NFS, just a few roads and that's all, while in Paradise, there are so many roads! It's so complex, and it's great!). I also like that the game didn't offer any GPS, that made me pretty much memorize the map, I don't have to ever check where's the finish! Oh, and you can actually pick your road in races, there really is more than one method of completing most races!
It’s amazing that about two years after this video we now have Dangerous Driving, which is as close to a new Burnout as we are going to get before EA gets it in their head to at least remaster Takedown.
I just ordered a copy of Burnout Revenge a week ago. I really need to play it again! I have a great memory of my cousin coming over a year ago and he brought it with him, and I enjoyed it a lot!
I hate to say it but as much as I love the burnout series as a whole, I can't play the original. I can't say it's a bad game because I just flat out can't play it, it feels floaty and off. This is from someone who fully completed Burnout 3 and has played all the others. The second game feels similar but I can play that one, it's decent.
Agree. Kinda like the SSX series, the first iterations were adored for their new gameplay and concept. Later iterations had improved the original so much, the original games are all but unplayable.
Burnout Paradise is my alltime favorite racing game. I have played it so for many hours. The soundtrack is all fire and you can just go out and fuckin enjoy yourself doing near anything you want. So much to do, you can even just ride around in whatever cool car you picked up and have fun listening to the legendary soundtrack. I am sure they will and have made better games since, but that one will always hold a dear spot in my gaming heart.
I rented Burnout 1 and hated it. It turned me off the series completely. Never played 2 or 3. But when the 360 came along I'd heard Burnout Revenge was a must-have, so I bought it on a whim. And I was hooked. Loved the game, loved crash mode (one of the best physics puzzle games ever). fun personal fact. Burnout Revenge introduced me to Nine Inch Nails with The Hand That Feeds. I loved the song and went looking up this band I'd never heard of to see what else they did. My sister was happy to hook me up with her CDs and I was hooked on them, too. I have a lot to thank Burnout Revenge for.
recently bought earthworm jim based on the complete history video you did! :) My favourite car games are driver: san francisco, PURE and split/second. Good memories with burnout on psp too (and that 'we are the scientists' track on repeat 1 xD)
absolutely adored 1/2/3 .. first burnout felt like the best racer sega didnt make and then 2 and then 3 just blew the doors off .. AMAZING first trilogy
Thanks for this history tribute to one of my favourite franchises of all time. I was introduced to the original Burnout by a friend via his Sega Saturn, and the Saturn version is clearer and faster. But there is something about the original which was so fun, and just the right balance of skill needed to avoid crashing out. For me Burnout 2 was too easy, Burnout 4 was just a pale imitation of 3, and 5 was just a pale imitation of 4, so the best for my money was Burnout 3. love the DJ, love the gameplay and handling, and still think 3 is the best racing game ever, with Burnout 1 close behind. Never liked any Need for Speed games. Would love to see a history of Katamari some time. :)
ah, I could have sworn I played BO1 on the Saturn, as I never had it on the playstation, but this must be my bad memory as no Saturn version is listed anywhere. :(
How about Thrill Drive, an arcade game from Konami? It came long before Burnout series and it has a similiar mechanic like the first Burnout and Burnout 2.
glad you mentioned danger zone, that game looks legit! I really enjoyed burnout 2 on PS2 I may have to dig it out and give it another play! great video.
they just released a trailer called "danger zone" which from the looks of it is a "burnout" spiritual sequel. but my favorite has to be "revenge" hands down my personal favorite.
Man I forgot how many Burnout games were on PS2. Never played Dominator and only played Revenge on Xbox 360. I really wanted to be on the Burnout Paradise team when I was working QA. It's probably best I wasn't because most of them were let got the moment the game was done. I was working on Battlefield Bad Company and Harry Potter by then. I got to play Paradise early though and loved it. Grabbed it day one and probably played it more than any racing game bar maybe Forza 2. It's nigh on perfect. Plus, you're right, Burnout 3 Takedown can also be regarded as the best for sure. They're different takes on the same idea but both that and Paradise are near perfect. I think they knew that with Paradise they didn't really have anywhere else left to go, which is fair. Would totally go for a PS4 upgraded version of the game though.
I had Burnout 3 for PS2, only one from the series that I actually played through and it is one of the best games in history. Oh the speeeeeeeeeeed you had in the game, mindblowing! So I completely agree with you Dan. Burnout 3 was so well polished and thought out, fit perfectly into the 6th generation console scene. But with Paradise, I disagree. I tried it for one hour, but nothing clicked inside me, that would make me wanna play it more. Maybe my gaming tastes has changed over the years. Being young dude in early 00's, Burnout 3 was like heaven come true. Nowadays I'm just old fart, who can't keep up with these sort of games haha.
i mastered the game, but didnt make 2 last races (super championship and f1 races) and my brother did that 1st one when he werent able to past Europe lol (facking hate it)
The last F1 races were hard, I remember that too. But I managed to play it through couple times anyway. Biggest trouble was the low resolution back in the day, which was issue on the high speeds, because you couldn't properly see the oncoming cars early enough and thus, hit them with the F1 car very often.
How did you forget to talk about the burnout mechanic? Regardless, which game has your favourite soundtrack? For me it's gotta be either Takedown or Revenge.
Paradise is an amazing game and one I still play. But Revenge is /my/ Burnout of choice specifically for the traffic checking. Not so much in the mode that was /all/ traffic checking, as that can become worn over time, I agree. But, because it allowed you to use the traffic very offensively. Nothing was more satisfying for me than using some schmuck's sedan like a blue shell on the leader of the pack and the three cars following him. Pure bliss. And the Radio BIG song choices were grand. I still bump Ink, All the Rage, and Lights and Sounds, among others, in my Ipod to this day.
That was interesting history of Burnout. The first one I'd played in the series was Burnout 3: Takedown for the Xbox Original which I think is the best game in the series.I had no idea there was another Burnout game coming out. I hope it gets a release on the Nintendo Switch.
Giving us long well produced complete history videos every week, eventually leading to Burn Out.
That's a tall statement about Burnout 3... and I completely agree with it. I do love me some Paradise - I played it more than I care to admit - but nothing beats 3 for me.
I THEY WONT DO MODERN REMAKE OF 3 I'LL KILL THEM (or just hate)
We need a burnout 3 remaster now, it's the best game in the series hands down!
Tool0GT92 burnout takedown is literal crack.
Crash mode was unlockable in the first burnout.
Tool0GT92 I agree for PlayStation 4 and Xbox one
Hey has anyone heard of dangerous driving? It came out this month and its basically Burnout 3! Can't wait to buy it!!!
Burnout 3 was the best
I love Burnout too, but EA seems to be more interested in Need For Speed nowadays. I also love Burnout 3 the most but I have an extreme love hate relationship with Revenge. More love though lol.
I love the Burnout series so much. Thank you for yet another fantastic Complete History vid! My favorite is Revenge but Paradise and Takedown are masterpieces as well.
From one franchise fan to another, thank you for covering this.
I remember screaming with laughter the first time I saw a slow-motion crash cam during a race in Burnout 3. Classic!
Burnout 3 Takedown would only be perfect if it had 720p support. 480p makes the game a bit harder in an unfair way sometimes. This game NEEDS an HD re-release.

I was late to the party with Burnout and only joined in on Burnout 3 - easily the most fun I've had in a driving game ever!

The only experience I had with Burnout was playing Burnout Paradise with my brother in the hospital when my sister was there obviously when my parents weren't there.

Paradise is ok, I prefer the "select the race and play" method vs. the open world thing where you drive around to find races.
Not sure Mario Kart and Wipeout can be put in the same category as Arcade racers like Datona, Vrally and such. But hey.

Burnout Paradise is my favorite for four simple reasons.

Burnout Paradise was the game that ruined the series for me. I couldn't get into the open world idea with a burn out game. I liked set tracks more.

MikePitcher Burnout Paradise was trash garbage that only only ruined the Burnout franchise, but also the song Paradise City by Guns and Roses.
MikePitcher Oh, and it's not just you. Burnout Paradise ruined the franchise for everyone, because they never made another game after it.

True on the no GPS. I managed to memorize the entire map, but in games like GTA and Saints Row I wouldn't know how to get anywhere without the GPS.
It’s amazing that about two years after this video we now have Dangerous Driving, which is as close to a new Burnout as we are going to get before EA gets it in their head to at least remaster Takedown.
I just ordered a copy of Burnout Revenge a week ago. I really need to play it again! I have a great memory of my cousin coming over a year ago and he brought it with him, and I enjoyed it a lot!
I'll never forget my dad picking me up from school and him surprising me with burnout takedown for the original Xbox crystal. so good.
I hate to say it but as much as I love the burnout series as a whole, I can't play the original. I can't say it's a bad game because I just flat out can't play it, it feels floaty and off. This is from someone who fully completed Burnout 3 and has played all the others. The second game feels similar but I can play that one, it's decent.
Agree. Kinda like the SSX series, the first iterations were adored for their new gameplay and concept. Later iterations had improved the original so much, the original games are all but unplayable.
Oh sweet! I totally didn't know about Danger Zone until now. I wish it had racing attached to crashing but I'll take it.
Burnout 3: Takedown on the original XBOX is my favorite racing game of all time...no joke.
I played the hell out of burnout 3. Probably in my top 10 list of games
By far my favorite racing series as well!
Burnout Paradise is my alltime favorite racing game. I have played it so for many hours. The soundtrack is all fire and you can just go out and fuckin enjoy yourself doing near anything you want. So much to do, you can even just ride around in whatever cool car you picked up and have fun listening to the legendary soundtrack. I am sure they will and have made better games since, but that one will always hold a dear spot in my gaming heart.
Excellent work Slopes. keep it up man
Burnout was actually inspired by an arcade racer by Konami called Thrill Drive.
Oh my god when that Burnout 3 menu theme started playing
I rented Burnout 1 and hated it. It turned me off the series completely. Never played 2 or 3. But when the 360 came along I'd heard Burnout Revenge was a must-have, so I bought it on a whim. And I was hooked. Loved the game, loved crash mode (one of the best physics puzzle games ever).
fun personal fact. Burnout Revenge introduced me to Nine Inch Nails with The Hand That Feeds. I loved the song and went looking up this band I'd never heard of to see what else they did. My sister was happy to hook me up with her CDs and I was hooked on them, too. I have a lot to thank Burnout Revenge for.
I feel so nostalgic now. I think I need to break out the old PS2 for this.
recently bought earthworm jim based on the complete history video you did! :) My favourite car games are driver: san francisco, PURE and split/second. Good memories with burnout on psp too (and that 'we are the scientists' track on repeat 1 xD)
Burnout was amazing, I love Paradise Remastered, Burnout 2, Burnout 3 & revenge!
amazing video mate, I love burn out ,soo much , and ur video gave me a complete history , thanks again ,plz keep up
Burnout series needs a comeback! I miss arcade style racers...
absolutely adored 1/2/3 .. first burnout felt like the best racer sega didnt make and then 2 and then 3 just blew the doors off .. AMAZING first trilogy
Literally.
I want revenge or second favourite, takedown with traffic check separately as a mode.
paradise lost me at lack of circuit racing.
The song at the intro instantly gave me flashbacks of Gran Turismo 1.
Burnout 2 and 3 are some of my favorite PS2 games. I loved them.
Fantastic episode Slopes, huge fan of the Burnout series myself!
Thanks for this history tribute to one of my favourite franchises of all time. I was introduced to the original Burnout by a friend via his Sega Saturn, and the Saturn version is clearer and faster. But there is something about the original which was so fun, and just the right balance of skill needed to avoid crashing out. For me Burnout 2 was too easy, Burnout 4 was just a pale imitation of 3, and 5 was just a pale imitation of 4, so the best for my money was Burnout 3. love the DJ, love the gameplay and handling, and still think 3 is the best racing game ever, with Burnout 1 close behind. Never liked any Need for Speed games. Would love to see a history of Katamari some time. :)
ah, I could have sworn I played BO1 on the Saturn, as I never had it on the playstation, but this must be my bad memory as no Saturn version is listed anywhere. :(
Wow, Burnout was on Saturn eight years after the console had support stopped. Now that's cool! Ha, ha!
How about Thrill Drive, an arcade game from Konami? It came long before Burnout series and it has a similiar mechanic like the first Burnout and Burnout 2.
glad you mentioned danger zone, that game looks legit! I really enjoyed burnout 2 on PS2 I may have to dig it out and give it another play! great video.
Id pay good money for a burnout 3 remaster. On the flip side it would be awesome if it came to X1 BC.
they just released a trailer called "danger zone" which from the looks of it is a "burnout" spiritual sequel. but my favorite has to be "revenge" hands down my personal favorite.
Man I forgot how many Burnout games were on PS2. Never played Dominator and only played Revenge on Xbox 360.
I really wanted to be on the Burnout Paradise team when I was working QA. It's probably best I wasn't because most of them were let got the moment the game was done. I was working on Battlefield Bad Company and Harry Potter by then. I got to play Paradise early though and loved it. Grabbed it day one and probably played it more than any racing game bar maybe Forza 2. It's nigh on perfect.
Plus, you're right, Burnout 3 Takedown can also be regarded as the best for sure. They're different takes on the same idea but both that and Paradise are near perfect. I think they knew that with Paradise they didn't really have anywhere else left to go, which is fair. Would totally go for a PS4 upgraded version of the game though.
I still remember me and the bois having a great time playing Burnout 3 on my PS2.
My favourite is still the first, love the series though.
Also Paradise reminds me of Vette! It's like the grand daddy of open world racers.
Man, how much I loved 3, Revenge and Paradise.
I had Burnout 3 for PS2, only one from the series that I actually played through and it is one of the best games in history. Oh the speeeeeeeeeeed you had in the game, mindblowing! So I completely agree with you Dan. Burnout 3 was so well polished and thought out, fit perfectly into the 6th generation console scene. But with Paradise, I disagree. I tried it for one hour, but nothing clicked inside me, that would make me wanna play it more. Maybe my gaming tastes has changed over the years. Being young dude in early 00's, Burnout 3 was like heaven come true. Nowadays I'm just old fart, who can't keep up with these sort of games haha.
i mastered the game, but didnt make 2 last races (super championship and f1 races)
and my brother did that 1st one when he werent able to past Europe lol
(facking hate it)
The last F1 races were hard, I remember that too. But I managed to play it through couple times anyway. Biggest trouble was the low resolution back in the day, which was issue on the high speeds, because you couldn't properly see the oncoming cars early enough and thus, hit them with the F1 car very often.
How did you forget to talk about the burnout mechanic?
Regardless, which game has your favourite soundtrack? For me it's gotta be either Takedown or Revenge.
Awesome, this series was incredible.
Do Rock & Roll Racing!
Still trying to figure out if Slopes likes this series or not...
he loved it
especialy 3 and paradise a bit
@@pidbul530 That's the joke.
Paradise is an amazing game and one I still play.
But Revenge is /my/ Burnout of choice specifically for the traffic checking. Not so much in the mode that was /all/ traffic checking, as that can become worn over time, I agree. But, because it allowed you to use the traffic very offensively. Nothing was more satisfying for me than using some schmuck's sedan like a blue shell on the leader of the pack and the three cars following him. Pure bliss.
And the Radio BIG song choices were grand. I still bump Ink, All the Rage, and Lights and Sounds, among others, in my Ipod to this day.
Nice one. Takedown gets my vote for featuring Vienna alone.
Also, any chances of seeing a complete history of Fire Pro Wrestling?
A Burnout Takedown 2 or Revenge 2 would be awesome
Couldn't agree more
That was interesting history of Burnout. The first one I'd played in the series was Burnout 3: Takedown for the Xbox Original which I think is the best game in the series.I had no idea there was another Burnout game coming out. I hope it gets a release on the Nintendo Switch.
Could you do a Complete History on the XCOM games? That would be a good watch, considering the many twists and turns of that series.
