Burnout Revenge is a tough act to follow, especially after the follow-ups to games like Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer have been shiny ponies, but less than innovative and new feeling. Short of PGR4's and Forza 2, there really aren't that other many exciting racing games to look forward to (unless you were born in the Midwest and love you them other car games). I jest -- that one was for Workman. GamePro spent some time with the Burnout 5 (working title) people and here's what they're promising for the sequel:
Throw what you know about Burnout in the fire. Inside Criterion's quest to build a better Burnout: Alex Ward can assure us that Burnout 5 (a working title only) will still be the game so many have come to love. "Burnout has always been about driving like a madman through traffic, and that hasn't changed at all." But, he said, "if we just made Burnout Revenge again on the PS3 and 360, no one would be satisfied with that-least of all us. Burnout 5 is still based on the premise of driving like a maniac and crashing your car. But it's got some significant differences."
The feature has gone offline, but it said the gameplay would be less structured and more free-roaming (but not like Gran Theft Auto's free roaming per se) and you will be able to zip around the city and cause ridiculous pile-ups and pandemic damage to lure out new quests and challengers. Sounds like a winner to me! Hopefully they'll sneak in a mode that lets us strap Serious Sam on to the hood of a Chevy Nova for some real All-American family fun.
By the way, if anyone missed Burnout 2 on the PS2, I seriously recommend diving in a Bargain Bin Laden for it -- hours of morale-reducing fun, guaranteed.
