Dangerous Driving is the game Three Fields Entertainment has been building up to for some time. The small developer, set up by Burnout creators Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry, has put out a handful of games since its founding a few years ago, all of which evoke a similar attitude to the celebrated arcade racing series. Danger Zone 1 and 2 came very close to capturing the magic of Burnout's Crash mode, but the studio's latest game looks to take things a step further.
This is a closed-circuit racer with an emphasis on ludicrous speeds, takedowns, and vehicular carnage -- sound familiar? It certainly looks the part, with very similar presentation to the Burnout games of old. According to the press release, there will be a variety of event types, from traditional Takedown races to a cops-and-robbers style Pursuit mode. Additionally, the game will support online races for eight players: "Players can race offline against remorseless AI drivers in over 8 different event types, or online against seven other aggressive players, all the while unlocking new deadly cars and aggressive abilities as they progress."
It sounds like a much more comprehensive game than we've seen so far from the developer. It remains to be seen if the gameplay will hold up to scrutiny, but it's sounding fairly promising from what we've seen so far. Dangerous Driving is coming to PS4 both digitally and physically on 9th April 2019. What do you think? Are you excited to see if Dangerous Driving can deliver similar thrills and spills as its inspiration? Trade some paint in the comments below.

Strange that they've blocked the video from playing outside of YouTube.
Anyway, that looks... tedious.
These kind of racing games are more the type I enjoy than the heavy simulations like GT so I hope this delivers. My favorite racing game of all-time is Burnout 3, if this is half that good I'll be happy because these kind of games are sorely lacking this gen.
This might be the first pancake game (non-VR) I purchase in quite a while.
Burnout was fantastic up until Paradise.
But something seems off in the video. Something to do with the speed. It kinda looks like video is sped up. Which would be ridiculous.
Video embed should work now
Danger Zone 1 was great (and got even better with free updates), but 2 was a big disappointment. I hope this game turns out well.
I've been waiting for this. I'm sure it will be fun. I wish the art direction was a little more interesting. They seem to be really into those bland fonts...
@Gamer83 Great game Indeed Burnout 3 but i have the memories about Burnout 2 playing with my younger brothers seeing who is faster. 😁 😃
But as we all know there are hardly any racing games at all on the PS4 so this is redundant news as it will not make a dent.
Stupid name. Not excited about a half-baked burnout clone from the makers of burnout.
WINGMIRROR CRUSH!!!!!!!!
They need to get the word about this out. I love the Burnout games and had no idea this was coming until one of the devs jumped into a ResetEra thread last week to talk about it.
This is a big 'wait for the review' game for me. Excited, but apprehensive.
Unfortunately there is no split screen. I really enjoyed couch play in Revenge.
Reminds me of Motor Heat, so great!
@Flaming_Kaiser
Burnout 2 is also a fun game, I thought 3 was the one that perfected the formula though. Then they followed with, I believe it was Revenge, also a fun game. Didn't enjoy Paradise quite as much. It's a good game but not the traditional Burnout experience I had wanted.
@Cycologist You don't know if it's half-baked yet. I'll wait for the reviews.
@klog60 I say half-baked as I'm guessing they'd be sued by EA if they make it too Burnout-ish. And what I've seen is very Burnout-ish
