Well, there it is. EA has at last officially announced Burnout Paradise Remastered. This marks the publisher's first foray into the remastering business.
In a press release, EA has confirmed the title will include all DLC packs, which includes the sizeable Big Surf Island expansion. In addition, it will run in glorious 4K at 60 frames per second on PS4 Pro.
Matt Webster, General Manager at Criterion Games, had this to say:
“When people think of Criterion Games, they often remember the Burnout franchise and for good reason. What we created 10 years ago, we feel is still fun and unique to this day in the gaming industry.
Burnout Paradise is an arcade racer built to provide players the thrill of racing with their friends, in a free form way that was both seamless and immersive, but also a little crazy with all the different stunts and crashes players could pull off. With the release of this remaster, we’re able to share this action-packed ride with a whole new generation of players.”
Burnout Paradise Remastered will cost £34.99, and will release on 16th March 2018, just a few weeks from now. Will you be taking a trip back to Paradise City? Smash your thoughts into the comments below.

Certainly will be on my radar...
Definitely buying. It does look more like a port than anything and is a teensy bit steep for my tastes, but I'm so in the mood for this that I'm in.
YES!
Only if the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Tempted, but got to admit that the Onrush trailer has me very torn, so I'll probably hang back and see how that reviews first.
I'm there!
Now do the Mass Effect trilogy you numpties.
I'd rather have the PS2 version of Burnout 3 on PS4

Official trailer....
Good game, good price, and 4k + 60 fps for the pro is nice.
Ea first foray into the remastering business eh, I hope the second one is mass effect 1-3 remaster
I've had this on two consoles. A third wouldn't hurt right? 😂
Hey Hey, You You!
Please don't hide the plat behind a PlayStation camera this time.
Well ea you certainly shut me up lol i guess you can do the odd thing right. I will be purchasing this in ReMARCHster alongside dmc collection, assassin's creed rogue and far cry 3 (with far cry 5 lol)
@Wesker
Awesome! I'm a bit disappointed there is no Switch version but I'm glad it's going to come to PC at some point. Looking forward to it!
@get2sammyb I agree on that point they could have done a bit more of polishing hope we see part 2.
I might get it. It's been a while since I've jumped into the Burnout series.
This was great, but as I own it and all the DLC on PS3, I won't be paying a high price point for it right now...possibly when it goes into the bargain bin. Other than all of that, I'd rather wait for a new Burnout, as it's been quite a while.
@daveofduncan I have this on 3 (if you count the XB1's Backwards Compatibility feature). I will add the Remaster too as I never bought any of the DLC....
@ShogunRok Never have I seen a more perfect deployment of the word "numpties".
Whilst I'm curious to see how this remaster performs and may consider a purchase when there's a suitable gap in my backlog schedule, for me the more important takeaway from this article is that EA might finally be open to remasters.
Here's hoping this isn't just a one-off (which it could well be; the always-online interconnected world of Burnout Paradise did feel like it was a console generation too early).
Wow I is pumped, decent price point .
Nice I'll be grabbing this at launch.
Next up SSX 3 yo.
And Dead Space 2 would be nice.
I get people liked the open world of Paradise but I always thought Burnout 2 was better...
Party mode please!
Shame I prefer BurnOut 3 really. Oh well. The Split-screen mode in 3 was AMAZING
@Dodoo I couldn't agree with you more!I much prefered the other Burn out games to this one..Still,maybe if this does well enough the other games might turn up..?
@get2sammyb
I used to love this game and it was my favourite open-world racing game for years until Forza Horizon 3 came out. £35 though?!!...no thanks EA.
I told myself I'd not spend too much money this year on reissues of old games, but people are being really annoying by picking games that either:
a) I really want to play through again (Shadow Of The Colossus)
b) I never got around to in the first place (this)
If someone could remaster some rubbish games that would really help me thanks.
Definitely up for playing this again – especially in 4K 60fps!
Most definitely picking this up!
I never played it, so now it's my chance.
I already have the original so I will pass. These selfish, dumb companies always remake the ones I have
@Wazeddie22 Yeah that'd be cool. I'd be all over 2&3!
It's an EA game so no chance they are getting my money.
No. It's not you, it's EA.
@fybyfyby They said it's going include all DLC.
@ShogunRok Also KOTOR. These remastered games are way more interesting than the new games made by EA.
I've got this on PC already, and I'm still salty about Battlefront 2. So I'll pass.
@PS_Nation Given EA's recent output, that's depressingly accurate.
@PS_Nation I don't think Disney is smart enough to let that happen.
yup, day 1 for me. Love this game so much.
I just hope they removed the trophy that you need a camera for.
A bit pricy for a remaster, even with all the DLC included, but on the other hand this is one of the only racing titles I ever played that I unreservedly enjoyed, so I'd be down for a second go and if this does well we might get a proper followup.
I'll probably buy this. Outside of Need For Speed Rivals I haven't been too impressed with racing games on PS4. This may just be a port, but it is a welcome one. Burnout 3: Takedown is still the best in the series, however, and still my favorite racing game of all-time. If they had remastered that, with maybe a few more tracks, and put a $40 price tag on it, it'd have been day one for sure. It's a very simple, very linear arcade racer but I can't put into words how much I miss that style of game.
..it was the first game I think I ever platinum-ed on the PS... absolutely loved it! I have such fond memories of it... I'm not sure they're rose-tinted though... After recently getting into (and being blown away by) Horizon 3 in 4K on the XB1X... I don't think I need to step back in time... not until it's about £20 at least... coupled with Forza 7 (and GT Sport I haven't even touched yet, not even tried the VR aspect yet) - it can wait... maybe best left as one of my favourite racing game memories... (alongside the original NFS on the 3DO)
Now if they only re-released any of the other Burnout games, the ones I actually liked...
I just wish they'd remaster skate 3 or make skate 4.
Burn out was brilliant game but still have on ps3 so undecided but onrush is a definite.
I enjoyed the first two games immensely, but 3 started to go downhill and Paradise continues going downhill from what I've read. It's EA making it more "EA" and so automatically becomes worse off.
That being said, I'm still intrigued by Paradise but it's EA so it gets a hard pass, as per all EA games.
Loved this game on the ps3. Got the platinum but never got around to trying all the dlc. Will probably hold off on picking this up as I want to check out Onrush and Gravel as my next racing games but this seems like a perfect summer time pickup!
I love the Burnout games, and I might play this one if I've got nothing on, but this is legit the worst in the series. I'd much rather have Takedown or even Revenge.
Woah, is this really the first EA remaster? It’s kinda weird thinking about it, as you’d think as of 2018 everyone, their dogs, their moms and their dogs’ moms have remastered their games, either last-gen, this gen, or both. Add to that the fact EA is...well, EA and you’d think they’d be all over some quick buck. Wait for this to be a success only to see EA realize remasters require less work than new games but make a good profit, so they’ll stop making new games altogether and everyone will rejoice lol
On a side note: glad to see an article about remasters (and people asking for remasters) without the obligatory “waaah waaah where are my new games?” crybabies.
NL is bordering insanity on that front, every remaster summons a bunch of people complaining about them. I guess the PS crowd is just more used to them than the Ninty people, and with time they’ll get over it too.
Well I pre-ordered!!
I can't believe its 10yrs Old but then so are games like Fallout 3, GTA4, Dead Space, Race Driver: Grid, Left for Dead, Mirrors Edge, CoD:W@W, Army of Two, Far Cry 2, Turok, Ninja Gaiden 2, MGS4, Star Wars: the Force Unleashed, Saints Row 2, Fable 2, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Too Human, Gears of War 2, Banjo and Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Lost Odyssey, Devil May Cry 4.... to name a few....
@Tasuki Thats great!
