Una legendaria saga de videojuegos de conducción arcade famosa por su sistema de juego basado en una conducción caótica, agresiva y muy espectacular.
    Básicamente el juego tiene todo lo que la saga ofreció hasta el momento con la direfencia de que en este nos movemos por un mundo abierto; la ciudad de Paradise City, en la cual encontramos las pruebas marca de la casa. A saber, Furia al volante, carreras contra el reloj, carreras contra rivales, carreras de supervivencia y las llamadas pruebas de trucos. Se echan en falta aquellas pruebas de choque de entregas anteriores, pero en definitiva, lo que el juego nos ofrece está bien.
    El contenido incluido en el juego es ingente, con decenas de coches para desbloquear, montones de pruebas, literalmente una por cada intersección de calles de la ciudad, etc. el problema es que quizás el que el juego se desarrolle en el mundo abierto, en la misma ciudad hace que resulte ligeramente repetitivo, lo que unido a la cantidad de horas que nos encontramos en la campaña para un jugador, puede hacer que se nos haga pesado. Este problema no es baladí, realmente puede hacer que abandonemos el juego antes de terminarlo y eso le resta, obviamente, puntos.
    Aún así si eres fan de la saga no está de menos, como poco, probarlo. El remaster está bastante bien hecho y pese a que a veces nos demos cuenta que es juego de generación anterior, luce estupendo. Tiene una banda sonora bastante extensa, aunque nos hallamado la atención la inclusión de piezas de música clásica, en mi opinión no le pegan al juego nada, pero ahí están. E incluye todo el contenido adicional publicado en forma de dlc originalmente, desde coches, motos y una nueva zona de la ciudad con más pruebas por la patilla.    … Expand

    NO, this is NOT a racing sim! There's Gran Turismo for that. This game is a very fun arcade racer, with SOME real & good physics. The remaster provides all of the micro transaction swag, from the various additional cars that had to be bought on the PS3, to a second & smaller island to continue your fun. With the price tag being much smaller now, it's a great single player pickup.

    I’m not sure why this is considered such a classic. Burnout Revenge was my game, and I loved it. Criterion did themselves no favors with the “open world”. I absolutely hate wandering around aimlessly and hoping you’re on the right route. The map is useless and the world is dead. I’m not a pro gamer, but I didn’t finish half my races because I couldn’t find the finish line. It’sI’m not sure why this is considered such a classic. Burnout Revenge was my game, and I loved it.

I’m not a pro gamer, but I didn’t finish half my races because I couldn’t find the finish line. It’s infuriating. Car customization is limited to colors, which didn’t bother me in Revenge. The cars felt unique in that game. I have no incentive to discover new areas or unlock cars in Paradise. The garage mechanic is annoying at best. Engine sounds and car characteristics are interchangeable. Soundtrack remains a highlight. This isn’t a bad arcade racer by any means, I just really wanted to make the point that it’s not some cult classic. There are hundreds of vehicles and I don’t care about any of them.… Expand

    I love arcade racing action but I was really shocked about this bad remaster. On PS4 Pro it still looks like a PS3 game, it completely feels like a PS3 game ... just the 60 FPS are nice, but related to the poor graphics it is nothing special about this. 4K optimization looks really bad for what could be possible, HDR is missing at all.

    If you like such a type of racing game than take a look on Dangerous Driving or Hot Pursuit Remaster, both still aren’t good games but noticeably better than Burnout Remaster.    … Expand

    Years ago I played it on my Xbox 360 and thought it was a masterpiece. After playing it again on my ps4, I found that it was only an above-average racer.

    * Fair driving - its an arcade racer, the handling is ok I would say. The game does have a good way of making you feel like your going really fast which is nice in an arcade game
    * Annoying open-world design - drive around to find a race instead of using a menu, to be told you already did that race before and have to skip it by "standing still for a while". Some races requires you to have different car classes - how do you switch? Drive to a "wreck place" to choose cars, instead of using a menu. This was a BAD game design choice which is probably the most infuriating part of this whole game.
    * Awful mini-map where you cant set waypoints and no indicator when in race where your suppose to go - another reason why open world was a poor choice for this racer. I dont like to have to look at a map to figure where Im suppose to go in a racing game. There should be only ONE way. Here, you need to switch paths at certain intersections and if you miss it (which is really easy cause there is no in-game indication of where to go either) you can just as well restart. Infuriating to say the least.
    * Graphics are pretty nice, but nothing that will directly wow you.
    * In-game sound of cars are also quite nice.

    For the original price, 40 USD, I would have been pissed with this game. For 20 USD I guess it gets a pass as a "fair game" but not more than that. I honestly wish I had spent my money on something else, the open world design is just what really does it in for this game. Buy something else    … Expand

    Loved Burnout 3 back on the PS2 so I got Burnout Paradise on the PS3. Unfortunately my disk was stolen and I never completed the game. I thoroughly enjoyed finally getting to play through the entire game on PS4, especially with the improved graphics. Menu systems felt dated but other than that 10/10..

    I never played the original but this is the kind of racing game I like. This is the kind of steering and boosting I love. Need for Speed needs to be like this. Instead it's pretty much the opposite... So this Burnout Paradise Remastered was a breath of fresh air. Kind of reminded me of Need for Speed Most Wanted in some ways. Just the smoothness and everything. Love this game so much. WhatI never played the original but this is the kind of racing game I like. This is the kind of steering and boosting I love.

    An extremely fun racing game with a few quirks that prevent it from being perfect. Controls are occasionally unresponsive and point to point events are repetitive as it's the same 8 locations and navigating the city is confusing without any sort of GPS system.

Burnout Paradise is a regular racing game the same way that Logan is a regular superhero movie...it's not. It's so much more than just a racing game because it has so much more to offer players. Sure, you have races within the game but other events such as Stunt Runs (in which you try to do as many consecutive stunts as possible to beat the target score before time runs out), Marked Man events (in which other cars team up and try to take you down before you reach the finish line, or your car is totalled by them), Road Rages (in which you try to take down as many other drivers as you can before time runs out, or you're totalled), and Burning Routes (made specifically for each car, in which you race against time to get from point A to point B). Since there are really only four types of events to do, the distance covered and locations related to each event are fairly unique which offers the player not only fresh experiences each time, but the routes you take are completely up to you.The most successful player is usually the one that's the most creative, especially in this game.

    The best part of completing events is License progression which starts as a learner's permit and then progresses D to A, followed by the Burnout License and lastly the Burnout Elite License. Every 8 (on average) events completed, a new car is unlocked for you to drive. However, you can't just start driving it immediately because you have to find it and total it before it's delivered to your Junk Yard (which is sort of like the garage/hub of the game). And then, once you wreck the car, you can drive it and complete it's Burning Route to unlock and upgraded version of that car (both in performance and aesthetic).

    But things to do here go FAR beyond just completed events and getting new cars. There are 50 Super Jumps to fly off of, 120 Billboards to tear apart, and 400 construction gates to smash through hidden all around this huge open world. You could play for hundreds of hours and still have things to do. (In my case, 36 hours since I've played the game a good 4-5 times now) If you don't believe me, just know that they've also added Big Surf Island which is an entire new world to explore with more challenges, Billboards, Smash Gates, and now: MEGA Jumps. I'm hyping it up a little too much because it's been out for a decade but this game is simply a must play. The addition of cop cars, toy cars, bikes, legendary movie-themed cars, and boost special cars really make it refreshing (even though I had the PDLC back in the day).

    Instead of the 100% it deserves, I'm giving it a 90% for two reasons: 1) the last 20 events were a monstrous chore as I've gotten tired of playing this game (36 hours in 3.5 days) and 2) the soundtrack got not only old but annoying. Since I only like about 6 songs on the soundtrack, I've listen to them dozens of times recently and now songs I used to like are infuriating (My Curse, Give It Up, Archers, Fake It, etc) so I made a Spotify playlist to listen to while playing just so I don't have to worry about music annoying me during an intense race.

    Anyways, fantastic game and I wish the online trophies were easier to achieve.    … Expand

    It's a remaster, so it's kind of the same game with a few graphical updates. The game itself still holds up well in this era and personally I'm not disappointed with it. If you already have the PS3 game or on a different platform, it might be worth skipping if you already have all the dlc. But other than that it's a worthwhile pick up.

    Okay. I only played this game once, at a friend's house, in another State. So I can't compare it too much to the original. I do know that in some ways it plays like an older game. But it also does some things that even newer games don't do as well.

    Are all of the animations/takedowns the latest polygon setup? Nope. Are there times it feels a bit squashed and blocky, sure. But ask    Okay.

    Are all of the animations/takedowns the latest polygon setup? Nope. Are there times it feels a bit squashed and blocky, sure. But ask yourself, when was the last time you had this much fun in a racing game?

    I'll tell you - 10 years ago.

    I loved and played the Burnout series for hundreds of hours back in the day. And if they decided to redo Revenge I'd buy it (like this one) first day.

    This game lacks the all-out crash modes of old. The ones I'd play over, and over, and over, and OVER. Trying to get the highest possible scores as I laid waste to every car/bus/truck I could destroy.

    But this has a lot of fun moments, and it is ten times the fun of any of the Need for Speed games.

    Figuring out how to destroy billboards, or get to secret islands, or just discover new and interesting ways to beat your fellow drivers - it's a gas, gas, gas.

    Burnout Paradise Remastered is the remastered version of a legendary arcade racing game. Visually, the remaster itself doesn't give you the feeling that you're playing a modern racing game, the game is polished, but it still feels outdated. That being said, it's still fun to play if you liked the original, though now you can play in 4k and 60fps with all DLC included, and with an original banging soundtrack.

    Anyone looking to smash through the game’s 705 shortcuts, billboards and jumps is a true glutton for punishment, but Burnout Paradise was never made to test players’ skills — it was made to be an escape, which is why the poor difficulty curve is so forgivable. It will always be a pleasure to return to the warm sun and speedy shenanigans of strangers in this familiar place, even if just for a few minutes.
