Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise (2008)

by Criterion Games, Electronic Arts
Genres:Racing
Themes:Open world, Action, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Evolve or die. For Paradise, we knew we had to change everything. Burnout was a killer arcade driving game, but for a new generation of hardware and connected player Burnout had to become something more ambitious. Closed tracks made way for an expansive, open city, and we seamlessly synced your friends into the action and let you loose on a heap of cool challenges that unsurprisingly rewarded you for driving like a lunatic. Hey, it’s us after all.Show more

Why the Original Burnout Paradise Should Be on GOG Burnout Paradise (2008) is one of the most thrilling arcade racing games ever made. With its open-world design, insane crash physics, and high-speed action, it redefined what a racing game could be. The original PC version captured the heart of fans with its raw intensity, tight controls, and a killer licensed soundtrack featuring artists like Guns N’ Roses and Killswitch Engage. However, the original release has become increasingly difficult to access. The Remastered version, while improved in some ways, altered or removed certain features, music, and visual elements that made the classic version feel unique. That’s why GOG should bring back the original Burnout Paradise, DRM-free and optimized for modern PCs—complete with controller support and the original licensed music. GOG’s commitment to preserving important gaming titles makes it the perfect home for this fan-favorite. Let’s give Paradise City the digital preservation it deserves.

There are 8 tracks (with reverse variants, for a total of 16 layouts) and 321 vehicles, all of which are fictional. This iteration was one of the first games on the PlayStation to feature gouraud shading on the polygons, giving the game a visual depth that was previously missing. It was also the first Ridge Racer game on the Sony system to feature a two-player split screen mode, and featured two different driving models.

Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge
Daytona USA 2: Battle on the EdgeDaytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge is an arcade racing game released by Sega in 1998 as a follow-up to the extremely successful Daytona USA. The game featured vastly superior graphics, utilizing the Sega Model 3 hardware. The majority of Daytona USA 2 cabinets were released as deluxe models (with far fewer Twin Cabinets), which could be linked together for up to four players. A notable change from the original is the ability to select a car and corresponding driver, each with varying capabilities for varying levels of player experience. Just like before, the game has three courses – a Beginner course with 8 laps, an Advanced course with 4 laps, and a long Expert course with 2 laps. The 'time lap' mode also returns, and is accessed in the same manner – by holding down start at the transmission select screen. Like the original game, mirrored versions of the tracks can also be played by holding down the Start button when selecting the course. It is recommended, however, that the player has had mastery of the course beforehand. By request, an arcade operator could put the game on Grand Prix or Endurance mode to increase the number of laps in a game. Finishing a race in the top 3 in any course allows the player to view an "ending" and see the game credits.

Rally Trophy
Rally TrophyIn the game, the player is taken through 42 highly detailed stages in five countries - Russia, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Kenya - which cover several road surfaces including gravel, mud and tarmac. Stages take place in all weather conditions such as rain in both the day and night. Damage is accurately re-created, even down to broken headlights which the player must of course preserve to see during night stages. Rally Trophy was considered by many people to be the Grand Prix Legends of rally driving, due to its focus on historic cars, and the physics models of the cars (with no traction control or driver aids) being relatively realistic and challenging for its time.
