Burnout Paradise is an awesome game but I'm not paying $50.00 for a game that should be priced at $19.99
1000% agree. I might even bite at $30 but to charge $50 for a game thats years old is unreasonable.
@@stolenova1210 I'd pay $30 or less. $50 is basically EA giving the middle finger to Nintendo once again. They'll simply state we've put games on the Switch but they just didn't sell as well.
Nah even $20 is too much I've seen it on every other console for $5-$10 quite often.
Switch fanboys be like "oMG bUt yOu cAn pLay it On ThE gO! wItcher 3! WiTchEr 3! wiTCheR 3! Hurr durr"
@@raggedyexynos9487 Or you could be a real gamer and have ALL three systems so you don't have to choose. I'm a Nintendo fanboy but I'll still buy a PlayStation and Xbox because there's games on each system worth playing. I have close to 100 games on both the PS4 and XB1 and roughly 60ish games on the Switch. My favorite game is Zelda followed by Metroid so I have no choice but to be a Nintendo fanboy but I also love JRPG and strategy / tactical gamesand Nintendo makes some of the very best.
I would love to have midnight club on the switch
I was just thinking about midnight club the other day and I’m tempted to dust off the ps2 to boot up them classics.
@@halfwaynormalmusic midnight club was such an awesome game. I don't see why they won't bring it back
@Softy same here
Halfway/Normal Music oms I just copped a auv cable from the psp
@@whysoserious4464 They'd have to renew licensing for the cars, music and locales. Could get real expensive on their end
It looks fine and I will pick it up eventually; just not for the price they are launching at.
The current price is really worth it
Bananen $50 is worth it?
@@Adrian-qy3ps Do you think so?
@@Adrian-qy3ps Really?? Because Steam is selling it for $5 until July 9.
It should have been like $19.99 or $29.99 because it's an old game.
David C yes other platforms are selling it for a much cheaper price, but I still think it’s worth it because you have so much to do in game. It’s an old game but it’s in my opinion much better than many $60 Nintendo games.
EA yesterday: "We want to put more of an emphasis on cross-play and Switch support!"
EA today: "Burnout Paradise Remastered is now available on Switch for more than twice the price as everywhere else with no cross-play."
Jake Hansen Pretty sure its regarding Apex Legends
They should really add the cross-play feature into the game. PC version of the multiplayer is almost dead, only at weekends where I find one full lobbies.
No local multiplayer?
7/10 isn’t bad. I might pick it up when it’s on sale.
Yep, am also will be waiting for sale to buy it
9/10 Man!
Its now in Sale for 27.99
@@Cedricisback19 Really?
@Cameron Erdly Amazon has it today for $30
$50 for this game is an insult to their customers and shareholders. Should be $15-20 max
This is the biggest problem with the Switch. Bioshock, Metro, this game... anyway, it makes no sense to charge so much for so much old games that we can play anywhere elsa.
Have fun playing it portably elsewhere! Oh wait...
@@mikej2020 look, it'd be different if this game wasn't significantly cheaper elsewhere. A $30 portability tax is a bit much
Cav I agree. However, I only play video games on my commute and not at home. So if I want to play this game, I have no choice but to pay it. Switch is lacking in regard to arcade style racing games...
@@mikej2020 It's still no excuse, the game should be $30 to account for cartridge cost and that's still asking a lot for it. It's EA, I shouldn't be surprised that they are taking advantage of that portability tax but it's just lame since the remaster came out in 2018.
There’s a reason I never check the price of Switch games on other platforms. Usually I want the game on Switch and looking at other prices makes me depressed
Its more so comparing to other Nintendo games. £50 is the same as a new Nintendo published game 🤷🏾♂️
@@captainsoarineagle actually it's the same as a Nintendo published game in general
the price literally does not go down on those
@@TorutheRedFox yeah basically, but my point stands
@@TorutheRedFox I honestly really appreciate their first party games are so expensive.
I can resell them years later and still get most of my money back, it feels pretty good!
@@captainsoarineagle I dont see how that is a factor. Nintendo games arent worth the full asking price either. They are all bad deals
It's $10 on Switch right now! Glad to know it's a good port, I played the shit out of this game on 360. I never got to play any of the DLC too, so this is god-tier value. I just got done with Cruisin Blast and while that was really fun, it just made me want to play Burnout.
6£ now!
Dekudeals shows you the price and sale history of any game you want so you can figure out if it's best to wait for another deeper discount or snag it while you can.
Picked this up for $10 with price match from best buy. It really is a fun game. Never played this when it originally released but i love playing this on handheld. Sorta reminds me of Midnight club on PSP.
I’ll wait until Burnout 3 remastered. Best racing game ever and the soundtrack is a jam.
YES.
I played This Fire by Franz Ferdinand on repeat every time I played as a kid.
F-Zero GX is better imo. A 1080p 60 fps port for Switch would be epic
THIS.
I legitimately forgot this comes out this month! I LOVE Burnout Paradise so being able to play on the go will be hype.
6:54 - What?! Never mind, I'm gonna wait. LOL
Keep an eye on Amazon, GameStop, Walmart etc. for used games. You'll probably get a better deal faster than waiting for a SWITCH game to go on sale
oh hey roger 🖐️
It's 20 from best buy right now and 30 from the Nintendo store
Its half off rn if you havent gotten it already.
Finally bought on the Eshop for 15 dlls, the wait was worth it 😅
This port would have been so great if it released at 29.99. I'm so bummed that they released it at such an insanely high price and that's massively hurting its review scores.
Well, nowadays it's 29.90 on Walmart lol v:
@@esaubanuelos5891 it’s 12 on the eshop lol
It’s on sale rn! 8 bucks!
£30 physical I’d be tempted. Personally I just can’t justify spending that much when I can pick it up for £8.99 on PS4. This is why my Switch collection is so anaemic!
Steam for $5.00 USD
Have fun playing your PS4 portably! Oh wait...
@@mikej2020 I get the point you're making but personally I didn't buy a Switch to play 'on the go' - I bought it to play the current generation of Nintendo games, mainly while sat at home. So I'm highly unlikely to buy third party games at inflated prices that are inferior to other consoles. Just my perspective.
@@therealfodder Meanwhile SEGA drops older titles ported to PC for €19,99 MSRP. Nintendo needs to step up and set a price limit for older titles releasing on the Switch. 3rd Party companies are using their platform to milk players using older titles and that's not okay. Even €30 is too much. 2K released Bioshock and Borderlands (3 games each) for €49,99 which is equal to €16,66 per game. And that's not to mention that nearly 3 weeks only after launch i saw both of them going for €38 each for a physical copy.
EA and some other companies are just taking advantage of Nintendo fanbase to profit and i honestly feel disgusted about it.
@@therealfodder you do you man, I don't get why other are dissing you because you got your opinion. I bought bioshock for full price on switch even though I got one for the xbox one for 20$ because of portability. If people think I wasted money I guess I did, but in the end its money I chose to spend, people should understand that you can do whatever you want with it
One of my favorite parts of the game is how open ended it is. You can do whatever you want. How has there not been a better racing game in this style in over 12 years.
Besides NFS most wanted 2012, nope.
Both these games are in their own League
@@bradleremond although initially 2012 used to be a sequel but cant have the time
Forza Horizon?
@@DonutTPOTer forza is good but this is more fun since it’s not all racing
Wreckfest
„...let‘s drive right into things.“
Comparing this to Xenoblade Definitive is less than fair, XDE is a complete visual overhaul, and going from SD to HD. This? they just ported the already existing remastered edition (that's about $15 or less everywhere else) to Switch lol If it ever gets down to about $20 at the most on a sale, i'll get it again, i love this game, but $50? no thanks
@@yzois wow, look at that, it was my point, flying completely over your head =P
@@yzois I'm sorry what? Are you serious? Even if you're just talking about the environments (I'm assuming), the changes to the models and UI plus the quality of life improvements alone make the DE 10x better, be there docked or handheld.
And besides, who cares? That isn't the point of the first comment in the first place my dude.
Man I remember playing burnout 2, one hell of a game. I honestly forgot burnout was thing lol
Burnout 2 was arguably the best of the series and the other games that followed tend to pale in comparison.
@@halfwaynormalmusic could not have said it any better.
I played Burnout 2 as a kid and rebought it last year since I never finished it and the system I had it on broke. Loved being able to play it again and this time play all the levels!!
The ultra dark night thing is only a thing in the switch version. All other versions don't have that problem
AS a PS Vita owner I'm a bit envious at Switch owners for this game. Loved playing Most Wanted on my PS Vita, and would probably have paid full price for Burnout Paradise if it had been released for it. The thing I love with the Most Wanted on Vita, is that it's a great game even if you just had time to play for a few minutes, and imagine it's the same with Burnout Paradise. Unfortunately they never released Burnout Paradise for the PS Vita :'(
You can play the PSP burnout games on vita
Bro why? Just get a switch and own both of best worlds
Awesome review.
I think the current high base price on the Switch is preparation for sale prices in the future.
Yeah but still I agree it should be cheaper right off the bat.
it's January 8, 2022 and this game is now on sale for $8.99 lol
Looks like someone didn't like Digital Foundry's breakdown of The Outer Worlds.
That review made me feel like Nintendo legitimately pays Nintendo Life. If they don’t, Nintendo Life just makes misleading fluff reviews for awful switch ports for free and I don’t know what’s more sad.
Outer Worlds on switch doesn’t even keep a locked 30 and looks worse than Morrowind or Oblivion because at least those games had art that was designed around low res textures and low polygon counts, rather than the developers just reducing texture resolution on high res assets and using distant LOD versions of assets for objects that you’re close to. It looks worse than an early 360 game, dips into the low 20s a lot of the time and has numerous gameplay issues as well where enemies spawn just meters in front of you.
The port shouldn’t even have been released, a 2/10 would be generous but an 8/10 is fucking embarrassing for this channel. I unsubscribed after watching it.
@@Kdkjdjewerdnxa They gave the Outer Worlds port an 8/10?!
Their review of TOW was disingenuous. Not only lying about the performance and visuals, but the gameplay being impacted as a result. Wasn't a great game to begin with; it failed at living up to the hype of Fallout New Vegas, the game the developers were piggybacking on to generate hype.
@@wellYousee "Wasnt a great game to begin with"???!!!
Whatever u r smoking must be pretty good.
Go to bed and wake up fresh.You delusions abt this game will vanish.
49 euro for a 2008 game
Don't forget who published this game. It's no surprise they would try some stupid bs.
Had this on the ps3, loved it and bought for switch already. Do not know why or how I missed the release on the PS4 but who cares its always been such a good fun game.
im a big burnout fan liked paridise but i would have loved burnout legends or revenge on the switch. than this...
Revenge, the best
Exactly this!
1:08 12 years? It's been my favorite since 2001 when it first came out for the PS2.
I'm really tired of the insanely high pricepoints on switch games.
$10 today. Yup buying!
The last open world driving game I played on a Nintendo console was NFS Most Wanted 2012 on Wii U. Running from cop cars was the best part of the game. I assume this doesn’t have that. Would this one still be worth picking up?
jimbones0 NFS MW and Burnout are two different beasts. Burnout has always been a more chaotic, arcade-like experience than Need For Speed as it encourages reckless racing more than the latter, I noticed this after playing them ever since the early 2000s (the golden age for both franchises). I definitely recommend buying Paradise
I got it for 8.99$ during the new year sale on the eshop. Definitely worth 8.99$
29$ on Amazon and big w for switch which is rlly cheap in Australia
I have the game and I am just not seeing the blurriness on handheld. Not like it was on Xenoblade, for example. Plus, Digital Foundry's analysis claims it runs at a consistent 720p on handheld. It's a solid port. But that price is too much. That I agree with. But if you do pick it up, you won't be disappointed. Portable is fine.
My Main Problem with many switch games is the price. I dont understand why 10 year old, ported games cost as much as a Brand New Nintendo title.
Have it on Xbox one. Bought a switch lite for work and picked up remastered on sale. Definitely worth it as it kills time at my job
I just grabbed it on nintendo shop for $15, they have a sale, it was supposed to be $30 💀💀 seriously though EA has some nerve charging so much for a game a over decade old.
i always get amazed when a remember that this game came out so long ago and it looks soooo good
Need the OLED screen for the night time races
It's on offer for £8.## at the moment on the eShop, thank you for the honest review
Funny enough I came here for the same reason! Was debating on it for quick pick up and play on commutes etc!
Already have this game on my Xbox. I definitely wanted it for my switch. I sure didn't want to pay $50 so I waited. Found this game for 14.99 at Walmart About 3 weeks ago. Super fun game Worth every penny.
Great review. None of my frequent outlets review switch ports like this, so I appreciate it. I do have a question, though: is the entire game on the cartridge or do I have to download most of it? This practice is so common with third party publishers, I’m wondering if I should even bother with a physical versions on the switch anymore. Thanks again!
Everything's on the cart yo
Tad Ghostal
That’s great! I wasn’t expecting that from EA at all, especially since this is a port of a remaster. I’m still gonna wait for a price drop, though. Can’t justify $50, especially now.
Omg you said it best
I keep picking up physical games but each one requires so much to download it's getting re
Ridiculous.i am almost just going to purchase all digital from now on
Great review I feel this game will be one of those on sale games in the future and if it goes like half price I’d get it.
It’s 15 euro at the moment on the Eshop. Very tempting.
Played this on the 360 fpr hours and got if on Switch for some nostalgia. Great port, only real issue is the pro controller's triggers not being analog so there's only no thtottle and full throttle, causing some issues with the more powerful cars that need to be accelerated gently to prevent uncontrolled drifiting, they should have tweaked that a little.
Okay, now that I’m looking at it, I can definitely see the resolution drop when I go pretty fast. Also, I wanted to say, I always used the cars that I earned, and not the ones that I got for free.
If you want a fast racing game on Switch try RMX. It's a F-Zero clone but is INSANELY fast. And that's just on easy. I'm not saying that it's the best racing game on Switch (That goes to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) but it's by far the fastest racing game ever made.
Holy crap!!!! $50???? It’s 12 years old!
That cow
I feel like a ton of your critiques of this game are the same ones that existed for the original Burnout Paradise and even its remasters (outside of the handheld quality drop). It doesn't feel fair to hold that against this game, just like it's not fair to hate on ORAS for having "too much water" despite that being in the game from the beginning and not mentioned previously.
Has any patches come out since this? Is the resolution scaling still there, is it still blurry?
Just got this at walmart for $14.88 on sale. It showed $19 something in store but they will price match their online pricing as long as it's shipped and sold by Walmart. They have Wreckfest for $20 and some good games.
- Says people take framerate too seriously
- Immediately goes on to say that it being 60fps is essential due to the nature of the game
....???
That’s contradicting for you.
The reviewer is still assblasted over DigitalFoundry's review of The Outer World, not liking that DF pointed out the frame rate in TOW being extremely poor.
To be fair, they do point out that the frame rate matters specifically to this game due to the high speed. Also, "some people take this far to seriously" isn't the same as saying it doesn't matter at all, it's just pointing out it doesn't always matter as much as some people make it out to do.
To anyone thinking about buying this do it. It’s just like playing on the ps2 when I was young again.
It's actually $42 here in the US.
I'll be picking it up.
$64 in Canada. What a joke.
49.99 at vintage stock where I picked it up today. And the only other racing games offered are not worth it in my opinion so this should be the best if it's all switch offers
Definitely a 50% sale gem. But at full price on the Switch just no. No way in hell.
Burnout Paradise reminds me of Need For Speed Most Wanted 2 for the Ps Vita. Looks really good.
I like the having all the dlc but not tweaking it so it doesn't mess up pacing seems lazy. I never got the appeal of having that super powerful pre order "shotgun" available at the beginning of a game
I really want this game but I don't even have a Switch yet.
Got any other consoles? This is on other consoles as well. I would recommend getting it on other consoles or waiting until a sale or when price drops for Switch. 50 bucks is just you getting scammed when you can pick it up for around 14.99 bucks or less on PS4 Store especially when it's on sale.
@@guthetanuki256 I understand but I don't have any other console but a Wii so I'm hoping to get a Switch
I wish I’d watched this before buying. Got it on sale for about £12 so not biggie but have the legendary card already in your garage and the game not having an objective makes playing it feel a bit pointless. I like to feel like I’m progressing in a game.
I played this game when I was in my 20s and I loved and I bought it the other day and brings back some good memories
EA: "We remastered the game improving the graphics"
ME: "Why the street light at night are off??"
No one noticed that? it was a thing that bugged me a lot on the original, fixed on big surf island but now is still there! the lights on the city are off at night!!
I swear there are less none racer cars in the Switch version compared too the original as well.
I'm playing this only with my Joycons. They make some really sweet drifts in this game.
The nights are like if dragon's dogma was a racer then...
They remastered the wrong racing game IMO. Bring back Midnight Club LA!
Also, what sort of racing game doesn’t have a speedometer and driver in the vehicle?
I bought this on sale for $12AUD and played it for 10 minutes before getting bored. I feel sorry for the peeps who paid full price.
I grew up with this game on the Xbox 360. I put hours into this game unlocking stuff. Now I can play it on the go!
This looks like Need For Speed Most Wanted U, on the Wii U...
i don't understand why it looks so similar to a similar game running on Wii U. this is much more powerful than WiiU, but it looks the same. same resolution. both open world. both look like muddy glass.
This is a 2008 game all they did was just up the framerate and make it look slightly cleaner
Too expensive for a game that many of us have played multiple times. Even with all the DLC.
Watching this because it's on sale for $11.99 right now let's goo. I loved burnout revenge
I been playing this game for about 10 years. I still love it didn't care how much it was I was just excited. I went straight to my toy car cause I love that car sooooo much and yea.
Port of Star Wars: Racer is coming in 3 days. It's a good week for fans of overpriced yet still cool old racing games
Price far & away is the only barrier to me buying a switch. I don’t fancy getting ripped off on game prices
Need for speed on wii u was mad!
I paid £5 today for this on switch, absolute bargain 👌
$64 Canadian for a game originally released in 2008 is tantamount to a slap in the face.
Seriously. I trust digital foundry more then i trust you. The Handheld Mode is better then docked. How did you get you informations? There is no extrem dynamic resolution and on handheld it almost always keep 720p. On dock it's only 900p. I am so confused how you can lie to everyone like that. :/
I bet this text will also be deleted. To everyone. Please look the digital foundry video.
Jo. I own the game now and i can confirm, handheld mode is sharp as the screen can go high. I am very impressed with this port.
I was able to get this game on sale through the Nintendo eShop for $15.00 and I feel like I'm getting way more than $15 worth of value out of it.
I'd say don't spend more than like $25 or so but with so few racing games on Switch (aside from cartoony ones like the excellent Mario Kart 8) I'll take what I can get!
Super fun nostalgia arcade racer!
Need for speed hot pursuit remastered is great. I really like that one on Switch too.
honestly been having an absolute blast with it!
I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to disagree with you there; Test Drive Unlimited was one of the best games ever made, and while Burnout Paradise is okay, it doesn’t compare to TDU or even some of the older Burnout games
Not demanding a stable fast framerate and calling those of us who do "Taking it too far" is a bad take.
Brand new on sale for $9.99 at GameStop website.
Holy moly does this game look like a game from the brown-and-grey-and-bloom generation...
I played when it originally launched on PC, back in 2008. I'll wait till the price drops. I've been waiting for an arcade racing game for Switch for ages
This is cool and all… but where is Burnout 3?
I play only handheld mode so this game is pretty much unplayable for me.
It is very playable in handheld mode. It plays like the other releases.
@@Smeltz247 technical playable is not truly playable. If handheld mode is too blurry to see oncoming turns/vehicles/obstacles at high speeds then it is not very playable at all. Technically all games are playable in handheld mode but good luck with some games. I have vampyre for switch. Do not play that game in handheld if you want a clue what is going around you at all times.
@@goldgriffin100 you can see fine.
@@goldgriffin100 edit: thare is NO blur. I have no idea what they are talking about.
i never have a problem with handheld, but i crash way to much in handheld and it takes so long with the slo-mo to get back to the racing
Getting it anyways. Don’t care if it’s overpriced I love this game
I believe EA made the price so high for this port so people wont buy it. And they will have a confirmation for their words that they were saying before "Nintendo fans don't like out games, it's a waste of money"
Knowing EA that’s pretty likely
Hopefully the price will drop a little over time. I’m certainly very interested, especially as I currently don’t have any racing games for my Switch, but I think I’ll wait until I see it in CEX or something
strange that it goes sub-720p in handheld mode. The old PS3 and 360 versions were always 720p and the remastered enhancements aren't that massive, mostly just textures, AO and lighting
The review sounded more like an 8 than a 7 imo. Still, agree that this is much more worth it on sale
I’d love a remastered burnout 3 takedown 🔥
I would also love a remastered the crew on the switch imo an underrated driving game with some great features
Prob about to cop it’s 12 bucks rn so why not and I’m looking for a racing game since I can’t play forza sometimes I hate having a switch lol
did he really just complain that there’s no real goal... in an arcade racing game...?
Plenty of arcade racing games have goals though? Lol
Is it really a remaster? Comparing it to the 2008 PC version on medium/low settings, I hardly see the difference. Not just on switch, but the other consoles and even the pc.
Bought it, played it on handheld only, its superb, price is fine especially as I have never played it before and it was £39.99
Did you see any slowdown or blur at high speed? Because I haven't.
i like that your reviews give two perspectives
They should have came out at 39.99. Then in a month or two do 25% 29.99 for a week. Then in fall do a 50% off sale 19.99. Then regularly flip between 39.99 and 19.99
Looks good. I might have to pick it up on Switch when I’m working again. They keep releasing games when I’m broke. XD
The price is higher than the console price because surf island and the 8/9 dlcs included in the switch version were not free on console
Awesome game and would love to own it on the Switch. Will eventually do so, but I have to wait a little while longer. Bought the game multiple times in the past, so for €49,99 I have to say no...
All 8 DLC is included, does that help the price at all?
glad i only paid $5 for this. its fun for the first hour or 2 till you get your fast cars with awful handling and everyone starts steering into you in the middle of a race. other than that its not bad.
Yeah that is one of my least favourite things the motorbikes seem to have terrible handling especially and also no speedometer and for some reason no option for setting waypoints. I much prefer the crew on the PS4 better handling, option of setting waypoints and I love the massive us map with landmarks you can discover
game is now 30.00 at bestbuy
