Over 11 years after Burnout Paradise first launched on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, EA has announced that it will be shutting down the game's servers on Thursday, August 1st. That doesn't mean the end for Burnout Paradise, of course. While all online functionality will cease on platforms running the original version of the game (that's Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, as well as anyone playing the Xbox 360 v...

EA has announced that, nearly 12 years after Burnout Paradise first launched on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, it will be shutting down the game's servers on Thursday, August 1st. That doesn't mean the end for Burnout Paradise, of course.

Years ago I worked at a cinema with this fellow usher called Jess. Jess was amazing and wise and she worked the popcorn stand, and she worked it in a very particular way. She spent hours and hours there every day, ignoring customers and rooting through the depths of the popcorn, head bowed, a scowl of deepest concentration on her face. It was always the sweet popcorn that held her attention, and r...

Burnout Paradise Remastered has earned the franchise its first chart top spot in over a decade. The much-missed smash 'em-up racing series last hit number one with Burnout Revenge, back in 2005. However, Burnout's best ever week of launch sales still belongs to Burnout 3: Takedown back in 2004. Kirby Star Allies for Nintendo Switch, last week's other launch of note, earned Nintendo's pink puffball...

The first video game my son ever played - I mean really played, rather than toyed with - was Burnout Paradise. We played together, but he took control; he decided what he wanted to do and he did it. The 2008 open-world driving title from Criterion, which is being released in a remastered edition on PS4, was a formative entry in the emerging universe of free-roaming multiplayer racers, leading us t...

It's presented in pristine, native 4K on Xbox One X, yet despite the vast resolution increase over its debut outing on last-gen consoles, Burnout Paradise looks and plays just as you remember it. In this respect it's a remaster done right. There are enhancements - many of them in fact, as you shall see - but it's all in service of adapting the original experience to sit nicely on a new, higher pre...

Maybe it's something about Renderware. It must be, right? 500 Agility Orbs in the Renderware-powered Crackdown, daring you to allow anything else in the game to rival those humming green treats for sheer narrative appeal. And in Burnout Paradise, another Renderware joint, 400 yellow crash gates. They're shortcuts ostensibly but, given the way they scatter on the wind in your wake, I suspect people...

Burnout Paradise Remastered does not feature any in-game microtransactions, EA has reassured - despite the game's official store listing saying the opposite. Fans noticed the phrase "in-game game purchases optional" in Paradise's new store listing last night and feared the worst. While the Remastered edition features all major DLC, EA made a point of mentioning the game's Time Saver packs were not...
