Burnout Paradise Remastered – March 16th!
Well, take me down to Paradise City!
A small, but very nice surprise to know that it won’t be long before we get given the chance to race, jump and smash our way across Paradise City in the ultimate car prang adventure – again.
Personally, I will always be a bigger fan of Burnout 2, and then Burnout 3: Takedown, but Paradise City stacks up above the competition and that includes a good chunk of its EA stablemates in the NFS franchise.
Either way, March 16th is just around the corner and who wouldn’t want to cruise under those HD blue skies?
Press release after the break…
SYDNEY, Australia – February 21, 2018 – Criterion Games, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc.

Pull off high-octane stunts and create insane car destruction in one of the greatest arcade-driving games ever created.
