You may remember that Three Fields Entertainment announced Dangerous Driving earlier in the year, with very little to go on other than the vision to bring back a Burnout-esque brand of chaotic arcade racing. The indie developer, which includes some of the original creators of the beloved smash-em-up racing series, has released a handful of small games so far, including Dangerous Golf and Danger Zone 1 and 2, each game building towards its ultimate goal of bringing to life a spiritual successor to Burnout.
In the above video from IGN, we can get a glimpse at how it's getting on with a few minutes of in-progress gameplay. There's still clearly some work to be done - visually it's a little lacklustre, and the drifting is definitely off - but it shares a lot of Burnout's DNA already. The sense of speed, the takedowns, boost chaining, star-rated stunts -- it's pretty darn close. If Three Fields can nail the handling and polish up the presentation, this could be a highly entertaining throwback.
The game is due out in February 2019. What do you make of this early footage of Dangerous Driving? Trade some paint in the comments below.

Dat motion blur, tho
Deluxe edition will come with ear plugs to muffle those tire squealing sounds..
I don't know, it's only a couple of months for some major tweaking..
It certainly looks like a Burnout wannabe but I would rather play Burnout: Paradise as that seems to offer a LOT more than this - a greater variety of modes and fun. This maybe something I would add if it came to PS+ but certainly wouldn't waste money on it.
Make it VR and I'm sold.
Sure looks like Burnout to me, 'Point of Impact' & 'Takedown' were the pinnacle of the series for me, so if it can recapture that then I'll buy it (£20 or so though).
I bought both Danger Zone games day one.
DZ1 was phenomenal and I highly recommend it. And it seems to have gotten a ton of extra content when I went back to it recently.
DZ2 I was very disappointed by. Theoretically it's a better game, but the level design and puzzle focus really pales compared to the first game.
OMG this is godly, are some of the burnout devs behind this? me wants.
@SirRealDeal how would it work in VR though.
@BAMozzy i love burnout paradise, but this satisfies my burnout itch too.
I want it. I've enjoyed all of the Dangerous titles. The only criticism I have is... can they use a more interesting font? The interface is kind of boring. Needs some character...
@huyi Each to their own. I want a more from a Burnout game these days and this looks very repetitive and one dimensional - hence I would rather play Paradise for my Burnout fix than waste money on this.
@BAMozzy although i agree with you i also love the more simpler burnouts too like 3 and takedown which is what this is based on.
the chance of us ever getting a sequel to burnout paradise are very slim to say the least.
Classic Races, Traffic in Races, Classic Crashes!!; ok, do not talk anymore, ready for February!!
