Criterion Hints At Burnout Paradise 2
Burnout Paradise was one of the most entertaining (and best supported via DLC) games of the generation.
So what do the racing fanatics want to see in a follow-up effort? No, such a project hasn't been confirmed, but it's always interesting when head honchos ask the fans such a question...
Just check Burnout creator Alex Ward's Twitter account, where he asks- "If we were to make a sequel to Burnout Paradise - what should be in it?" The first title was released back in 2008 and it did very well; developer Criterion Games went on to produce the acclaimed Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and last year's Need for Speed: Most Wanted. That, by the way, is essentially "Burnout Paradise 2" according to many, as it's an open-world racer with all sorts of bad-ass flash and panache.
But what would you like to see in a true Paradise sequel?

have motorbikes and cars available from day 1, dont make people start off with the crummy crappy hatchbacks!
oh and bring back some of the series staples, like the different modes found in burnout dominator.
oh and keep the open world racing, it was really cool how you had to find the route yourself.
they just need to make it a bit easier to tell the right route, allot of times you would end up turning onto a street which looks like the right way than would end up turning into a railway yard and you cant get off it.
that was FRUSTRATING!
oh and of course, a restart race option!
cant believe they put out the game forcing you to drive all the way back to where you were to retry the race!
oh and dont forget a metric sh*t ton of jumps, billboards, gates and such to find, leap off, and destroy!
and the car parks, it was so much fun driving to the top level than hurling yourself off to the street below!
oh and dont forget showtime, that was so much fun purposefully crashing so you can flip your car, roll down the motorway going to wrong way destroying buses!
and make sure theres a online map which analyses your game save, and shows you where all the things you havent found are.

I am in the midst of Most Wanted right now and was just thinking about how much I'd like a new Burnout. Started last week and I am at %50 completion and %47 of Trophies. I aim to Platinum this game. Something I only do for games I love.

My suggestions for BP2? Bring back the crash parties and split screen, include online police chases right out of the box, and not in some crappy DLC. And put in the boats and planes races you were contemplating as a DLC for the first BP.
But to date, I have yet to be disappointed in a Burnout game, which I can definitely not say the same for NFS...

Yeah they changed a lot but they needed to show off what they could do with the new system, and the game is still an amazing looking and playing game compared to newer games..and the support they did with all the expansions? Don't get me wrong I loved the old Burnout's, but I think Paradise was a step in the right direction for the series, which is more then you can say for other series this generation..
Not to mention that Paradise with all of it's online challenges, is the reason I play games online now...I was mostly an offline game guy, but the fun I had and the people I met in Paradise led me to play more games online...
But that's just me..
