Burnout Paradise Remastered Performance Review and Graphics Comparison

Not all racing game fans want an accurate driving experience like Project Cars or Assetto Corsa. Sometimes we want something that feels a little more arcadey, where players can unwind, accelerate to high speeds and ram their competition off the road without any fear of penalty. 

The Burnout series has been missing from store shelves for quite some time, creating a gap in the market that would be perfect for a successor, whether it be an official Burnout title or otherwise. With this in mind, EA and Criterion games have decided to remaster Burnout Paradise, giving gamers the opportunity to re-experience the classic with enhanced visuals and all of the original game’s DLC.
