- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- We've been waiting years for a game to bring back the spirit of Burnout, and Three Fields Entertainment aims to deliver with Dangerous Driving. This is a brilliant game, that's well worth buying - but there are some caveats you should be aware of going in. John and Rich check out all four console versions...

Sign of a seasoned Burnout player: driving in the oncoming traffic lanes
And not wall riding. Although it looked as fast, it really wasn't as fast as drifting on the road.
how else can you see traffic? back lights were basically invisible in B3 :)
Sign of Burnout AI: *Almost lose race even with eighth best time.*
I always did some wall riding lol I just got lazy and always left boots on
true words.
it has the graphics,it just lacks the soul
edit: but for 7 developers,they did an awesome job,kudos to you devs for trying
Yeah it's extremely empty and shallow
How? It's literally very much like Burnout.
Graphics looks like an Android game though.
@@argoniantuncboyacyan1780 yeah that's what I was thinking. I wish they'd focused on a more colorful art style instead of all the flashy lighting.
I really don't want to blame them, the manpower is obviously not comparable to Criterion days, but what bothers me the most is why did they try to make the game so identical to Burnout 3?
Burnout was my jam. Basically had 3 completely conquered. Still hear songs on the radio today and think of that game.
I wanna be sedated. Lol
Come back DJ Atomica
Burnout 3 also has one of the most memorable soundtracks.
Burnout 3 was the first time I heard billy tallent, I agree amazing soundtrack
Burnout Revenge is better than Burnout 3. It's a literal improvement. I love this series better than the lackluster Burnout Paradise
@@xerik99 Billy talent was in burnout revenge
@@robertlawrence9000 Naw I preferred BO3 to BOR in basically all conceivable ways.
Ah... MCR glory days....
Maybe interesting numbers(from my memory from interviews with the guys at three fields)
Burnout 1 was made by around 25 people
2 by around 50 people
3 and revenge by around 120-150 people
Paradise by even more people
A large part of those team sizes will have been people working on the Renderware engine. Considering they're using the Unreal Engine here you can't really compare that. Also I'd be curious to know how many of those 120-150 people working on BO3 worked there when Acclaim was still bankrolling Criterion, versus after EA took over.
Rip Acclaim tho
Burnout 3 and SSX 3 were the absolute peak of EA's creativity in the early 2000's.
Both are masterpieces and pushed the ps2 to its limit
Criterion and EA Canada I think?
Because Burnout 3 is created 95% by Criterion themeselves. EA just doing the publishing and music license.
And none of them had PC versions. I wonder why was that. Bigger platform = more buyers = more money = better game?
...and nfsmw '05
SSX3 and B3 were the best. Those SSX3 half hour races down the entire mountain remain some of the best experiences in a game. Loved the SSX3- Burnout Revenge 'shared universe' too.
Late 90's- early 2000's EA was great: Sled Storm (PS1), SSX3, Burnout 3 and Revenge, NFS Underground and Most Wanted, Everything or Nothing, NBA Street 2, Freedom Force, Medal of Honor and MoH: Frontline, Def Jam: Fight for NY, etc.
They still had a lot of licensed games but every year there was at least one memorable EA game for positive reasons. And before somebody says again "but Burnout was developed by Criterion", EA was still the publisher. They were taking more risks with the AAA games they developed or published than they've been doing recently.
I hope this succeeds and expands Three Fields, it's still early days and this game only scratches the surface. The fact a team of 7 created something like this with a limited budget is amazing really. There's potential here.
You get it man... most others here don't. If this makes Three Fields decent revenue then the next one will be larger budget and everything that goes with that. For 7 to create a game like this is insane, and with multiplayer on the way too I think it's pretty awesome for the price.
I still play Burnout 2 and Burnout 3 on my original Xbox, upscaled from component 480p to 4K on a projector screen. They’re still awesome and fun.
Itellä hävinny burnoutit :/
@@Parkittaja Eivät ne onneksi hirveän kalliita ole, ainakaan originaalille Xboxille.
@@Renk1 Jep, ei niitä oikein muille saakkaa.
There are Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge Playlists on Spotify for those who want to add the Burnout Soundtrack to the game.
@@colbyboucher6391 "of course not" -> Don't assume everyone uses money grubbing web apps...
@MusicMoviesGames To use the integration in the game itself, you do need Premium.
Instant like for the Thunder Force 4 music at the beginning.
True, that intro is so rad
S.S.H. version I think
All I really want is a HD remaster of Burnout 3: Takedown.
with new reflections, particle effects, shaders...could you imagine...maybe even some of the cars from previous burnout games!
the funny thing is that it needs nothing changed, it's perfect as it was, it only needs new graphics
and port it to pc
RIIIIIDGE RACER! remember that one?
A classic
Burnout revenge was a better game than Burnout 3. It was also packed with more content. I don't know why people don't give Burnout Revenge it's due credit.
Me neither.
They don't give it credit because everything down to the soundtrack lacked the OOMF that BO3:T had. Even the driving was less whimsical, where they didn't allow you to fuck up as often, which was half the fun of B3:T. Amount of Content isn't the game, FUN is the game, and BO4:R was Crit literally 95% heading to what killed BO to begin with : cutting corners, stuffing it with junk, and following EA's vision of "pump it out, rake it in"...look where EA is now with Crit and NFS. *Burnout CRASH ffs...*
i had both and B3 was a better game in my opinion
burnout revenge on x box 360 updates and plays well on x box one
Burnout revenge didn't even have standalone modes to pick your car/track/mode combos. Literally only what selections were in career. THat pissed me right off. Burnout 3 had more variety that I cared about. Revenge technically improved on the formula but 3 left the biggest impact.
A lot of people forget you can play your music from a USB while you play a game on PS4, you can manage the tracks and volume from the sidebar.
Or if you've got a bigger music library than can fight on a USB, just set up a media server on a PC and run that.
Damn... I did not know that at all. Now i'm definitely buying this game! Ridge Racer and Burnout are my favorite racing franchises out there and now we basically have one back! Nice!
This should be a highlighted comment
Why would you Play Musical from a USB instead of using Spotify?🤔
SleazyTV 1) I don't have Spotify 2) A lot of songs I like aren't on Spotify 3) My music on USB are lossless rips and sound infinitely better 4) Spotify costs money, my music collection doesn't.
That Burnout 2 theme in the background... The memories!
Burnout 3 was amazing and still consider it one of my favorite games of all time
playing burnout 3 all nighters on ps2 with my best friend in elementary school, good timesss
I would give just about anything for a burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge current gen remaster
I'm gonna be honest, it looks a bit cheap. But you can't ask too much from a 7 men team.
Ya, got to accept the occasional system crash due to crash-cam while crossing finish line. And falling through the map with relatively consistent falling through the map in heatwave. And obstacles clipping through rails and crashing you for seemingly no reason. And in the roads. LOOK, ITS A SMALL DEV TEAM AND ON DAY ONE NO F*_CKING LESS. LAY OFF AND F*_CK OFF!
Those tracks look like they are randomly generated.
10:29 Ridge Racer 7 still looks amazing.
for a 13 year old game looks good
yeah it was 1080p60 on ps3 that's really impressive.
Midnight Club is boss too 😆
@Dr. Loomis Nope.
@@vandammage1747 For an early PS3 title, 1080p and 60 combo was not common there yet. So yeah it def was. Tho 6 did the same job on the 360. 7 had that little extra on the gameplay side that makes it way more fun today.
I'm willing to bet a lot of people are going to use Spotify to play a burnout 3 playlist
Ya know it👍👊
I'd love to see SPLIT/SECOND rebooted. That was a game that deserved a series but never had a chance to be made.
This here. This.
You got my vote.
The graphics lack soul, I really don't mean this with ill intent, but this game looks like a Unreal Engine Asset flip, mostly the very flat maps and the standard Unreal Lighting engine are at fault here.
At points I'm really struggling to see in front of the car. Too much light and glare.
It's more than the standard glossy UE4 lighting, it's everything. The post-processing is the basic crap UE4, the sparks are the ridiculously large to glowy default particle system, the weird physics. I thought this was still in beta. I abhor the stock UE4 look.
It's kind of unavoidable with a low budget indie game made by a small team. I'm still fairly impressed how close they were able to get to Burnout 3's look and feel, as well as the performance they got out of the Unreal Engine. Most importantly they managed to replicate the gameplay feel of the original Burnout games which should provide a very solid basis for any future games.
Instant thumbs up for the Thunder Force IV song at the beginning
Multiplayer was already announced by the devs. First month after release they will put out a DLC (for free) with Multiplayer. No Splitscreen though.
Why use the word "hate" for a feature?
I was just curious. Hating a game you never played because it lacks the splitscreen feature is a bit weird to me.
@@GamerFxLP Because it is cool these days to hate everything rather than try to be positive. If you hate something, you must be better than that, right?
Well, fair point, i can understand that.
Damn it, I was looking forward to playing it with my son. I have the same sentiments about games without the split screen option
The craches mechanic was at peak with burnout dominator
Throw a road rage mode in the multiplayer first team to 50 takedowns wins or ffa road rage and it's perfect
I hope there's an option to turn motion blur on. Seems like they forgot to add it in.
Lmao
@@colbyboucher6391
He was being sarcastic...
Burnout 4 Revenge is still the all time best Burnout game.
Same, even the soundtrack. Can't believe there's no love in the comments.
Those car crashes look really weak...
Thanks for posting this, I wasn't aware of this game and I really enjoyed Burnout 3 on my PS2. Gonna grab it soon.
Holy crap Burnout 3 Takedown was my FAVORITE!!!!
I tip my hat off to anyone else who was just discovering HD gaming at the time with this game. B3:T on an Xbox with Component cables hooked up to a 50" 720p LCD Projection TV was just jaw dropping in 2004.
I do that Spotify thing with Forza Motorsport, using the console's OS.
It's a nice-looking game but the textures on the horizon and mountains look better in Burnout
I was the audience for onrush and was waiting for pc release :(
Yea, mee too wth happened to that game?
I was so disappointed the PC release never happened. Might have to buy the console version at the some point
It's a great game, and still seem to be plenty of people playing on PS4. I'd say it captures the spirit and feel of Burnout better than Three Fields has managed to, and is actually a logical evolution of that genre. Well worth seeking out however you can.
The camera could have been raised a bit so you can see more of the road. As for any changes, they can always patch the game.
Agreed on the camera. One of my biggest issues though I am having a lot of fun on the game. Write the devs or Tweet to them and tell them, need more people to do this on big issues like this. I have and even filled out a few bug reports with mentioning this in one of them. They have said their only focus for now is fixing flaws/bugs and online play.
Hopefully the PC version will allow us to put .mp3 and .wav files for the music.
Been waiting for new Burnout game for a long time. Look my wait is over.
The limited crash damage is what bugs me. It was awesome on Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge.
Amazing work from the devs. I hope this is successful enough for them to eventually complete the full Burnout revival that many of us crave.
I don't think anything can match the Motorstorm Series, amazing psychics, wrecks, consistent framerate etc.
They are different games...
Ok played it alot now! First thoughts for anyone who is hasitating to buy or not:
-Handling is very nice! The near misses are way more easier to handle/save, which makes you far more often smile and not frustrated!
-The track in my opinion arent memorizable! Everytime i drive on a track, i dont know where the next corner will be(dont know if this is intentional or not). I just cant learn the courses so i cant improve my breaking points ect....
-The Tracks are very similar! Only the weather seems to change(snowy threes, sunshine or winter)
more tracks would be nice in free DLSCs.
But the most frustrating thing is:
- You CANT change the button layout!
I mean what were the devs thinking? I hate to pull of a handbreak powerslide around the corner with the L2 trigger. Why cant they make a changable button preset? I would love to drive the "old fashion" way: Acceleration "X" and "quare" handbreak, R1 Nitro/boost. Hope they fix this with a patch, because otherwise i will sell this game.
-LAGGING!
I mean I have constant lagging/stutter on some of the tracks in different times where the image stops for half of a second completely! Mostly in the tunnel segments!(Ps4 Pro)
I Will post this on some Videos here so maybe the devs read about this and can take care of it!
THREEFIELDS! FIX THIS PLEASE! Otherwise a fun game.
Some of the track design does give me memories of NFS: Hot Pursuit, such as the snow-capped areas and the drive through the forests.
Yes!
That intro music has more than a whiff of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
It's the thunderforce 4 intro
Metal Squad
Totally worth it for £25. I've been waiting for this type of handling to make a return and whilst there's definitely a few things that aren't quite up to modern standards, the price and the fact that it's done by only 7 people means I really don't care.
I also love how they've led up to this with each of their games incrementally increasing it's ambition and fidelity - Dangerous Driving 2 (60fps, urban tracks, splitscreen, etc?) in 12/18 months perhaps?
The terrain is just outright blank and plain. Even the Burnout footages from PS2 look livelier comparing to THIS. I don't have a feeling it's the real world even. It's just a mess with random trees here or a boulder there. In a bleak low-res world.
Yeah I agree, feels very bland and desolate. I loved that you had these more out there roads through forests and other areas but also a city area in burnout paradise
Three Fields is on the right path. Even if this one isn't the Burnout successor yet they get closer with every game and they have demonstrated that they learn from all their releases, unlike alot of AAA developers.
My two main gripes with this game is the takedown camera and the handling, particularly with the drifting. In B3, the takedown camera would quickly pan over to your wrecked opponent in slo-mo, then pan back to your car. In this game, the camera cuts to your wrecked opponent in real time, then cuts back. It's almost jarring and similar to the takedown camera in Burnout Paradise. Also, in B3, the drifting was more fluid and controllable, allowing you to fine-adjust the drift in progress. In this game, it feels like I'm on rails. I read from an interview that they did make the tracks around the handling so fine-adjusting a drift wouldn't be that necessary from what I gather. I'm not blaming the dev team, though. They tried their best with the tools they had. Unreal Engine just doesn't lend itself well to this type of gameplay. I've had my fair share of frustrations using it in college. If only they used the Renderware Engine. Now that was the engine of a generation! Here's hoping they work out the kinks for DD2.
The gameplay looks on point, and the complaints are minor. I really love Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge. It's great that Burnout Revenge is backwards compatible on Xbox One.
If the price is right, then I'll consider buying this. Otherwise, I might just go back and play my copy of Burnout Revenge.
I just looked it up, and the price is $40. Unfortunately that feels like it's double what it's probably worth. I think that will end up hurting it's sales numbers enough to prevent a fully featured sequel, but I hope that I'm wrong.
So...is the goal of this game to outrun the event horizon of the massive Supernova that is just about to engulf and annihilate the entirety of the earth and the known universe happenning in the background?? Or is it just a RIDICULOUS OVERUSE OF THE BLOOM EFFECT THAT HAS FOREVER BURNED MY RETINAS???
Thanks for the heads up on this one guys, it looks awesome. I'll definitely look into picking it up.
Thunder Force IV Metal Squad, good choice of music.
Though it isn't perfect, the Spotify idea seems pretty cool for an indie game that can't afford it's own music rights. As a heavy Spotify user I can only imagine the amazing custom playlists people will create and share for this game.
whats with the wierd side-to-side movement. Looks really dated.
Carrot That’s not how Burnout looks/feels and that’s what it’s copying.
Kind of reminds me of arcade games from the early 90s, just improved visuals.
Joe Scott ala Daytona USA 😂🤣
@@raknikmik Yeah and Burnout is also super old, so it's dated
Burnout both looked and felt a lot better than Dangerous Driving. The drifting in this game is godawful. The tyres don't even properly turn in the direction your car is moving, and trying to do any kind of drift cornering kills your speed. It doesn't work well at all unfortunately.
Being a fan of the early Speed Racer anime, it would be cool to see this with a Speed Racer theme and all the wacky cars, music and scenery.
"Paint yourself a picture....and you win, and you win, and you winnn" Burnout Revenge (just) had the edge on takedown, I haven't bothered playing a racing game since.
the sun burns my eyes ;( Who ordered HDR?
I might give it a try. But sadly this seems like just trying to be Burnout 3, but missing all the features. A throwback to that type of games is great, but I wish they would either innovate, take a new spin on it or simply perfect / improve upon the formula. This seems to fall short of the original. The only thing that is better is the graphics... technically. But it also looks extremely budget by design, tracks look like simplified versions of what was on offer in Burnout. And no music...? They couldn't hire a single person to compose music?
oh my god two frames drop unplayable -_-
The dev's should just share a playlist of tracks on spotify that they feel fit the game
There is a Dangerous Driving playlist, made by Three Fields :)
@@leo33rm97 cool
If they fix the framepacing issues on the XBox consoles i will buy it only for giving support to the studio, which did a great job for their size & budget.
I dont have spotify and i simply ran youtube in the background and created a playlist and it worked perfectly fine... in fact I was happier that it was that way to that I could play my own music. This game stands up fine...and anyone that thinks that a small "dip" in frame rate is an actual issue is crazy.
I never got around to playing BO3; but did have BO2: Point of Impact on the GameCube, Burnout Paradise on PS3. I read on their blog page that they've fixed the frame pacing in a July 2019 update and added HDR support this month amongst other additional modes / fixes
I used to love crash tag team racing. I'd love a modern take on that. Racing with boosts and weapons. Strategy and shortcuts and stunts.
talking about music... i still love "Paradise City", discovered the song in Burnout Paradise
"Alexa.. play the Burnout Revenge soundtrack!" (One of the best video game soundtracks of all-time imo)
Damn, I want Burnout to come back. :D
Burnout Takedown was my favorite. ^o^
Everyone support this game that enjoyed the Burnout series in hopes that they can grow a bit and get enough resources to make a followup title that perhaps rivals BO3- Takedown and Paradise. Perhaps adding in a robust crash mayhem mode in the followup as well!
These small teams need our support.
10:33 car running backwards
Motherf$&king Thunderforce IV!
You guys just made the best video to show the difference between 30 and 60fps!
I might buy this just to encourage them to keep working towards a more complete version. I really enjoyed the old burnout games. Onrush was a really cool concept and looks terrific. My biggest issues with it are the lack of split-screen and the queue times for an online match. The handling also feels a bit heavy for my tastes, but I then I play a lot of Rocket League which may influence how I expect a car to handle, and I understand the goal. Queue times seem to have improved, possibly due to an increase in players. Split-screen is important in racing games and It makes me sad that so many developers skip it in favor of more flashy graphics. I sure wish we could get the racing game blur on backwards compatibility. My disc is sitting on my shelf in a case waiting for a chance to make a comeback. Eventually I may end up re-purchasing a used Xbox 360 just for that game. It really was that good.
I had a lot of pleasure playing the Burnout series and it’s great to see something like this come back.I know after years been away we are all going to have are drawbacks but when we played this on line how much fun did we have😉
Anyone who remebers the Red f flag song soundtrack from the old days of burnout on PSP? Btw now moved to Xbox One X.
Ouch, this looks rough! Looks like base UE4 stuff.
And it's also targeting the wrong Burnout entry for me.
Burnout 2 was my favorite one in the series, and I've played them all.
I enjoy the stricter crash rules from Burnout 2; no slamming against other cars or walls.
After Burnout 2 I feel like the opposite became true; just smash into everything!
Totally agree with your opinion on soundtracks in a racing game. I have been into the odd racing game over the years, including a few Burnouts, and the "feel" of the soundtrack is a huge part of my fond memories of the games. I think the track selection is a huge part of setting the mood of the game, (like Burnout 3, or Need for Speed Underground).. user defined music is a great option but shouldn't be default, especially requiring a subscription I have no intention of getting.
I really wonder if they've ever thought about going steam Early Access similar to how the old flatout team made Wreckfest. They'd be able to get their money and continue to grow the game as they went along.
yodagamer1 epic store only
would have been good idea!!
Damn I can't wait to play this tomorrow! Finally a fun driving game again.
It's impressive what they've achieved, but the lack of city environments makes the tracks look rather barren.
Someone needs to get the Burnout developers and ask them why the first few games never got PC versions, when EA's other properties at the time did.
When I play racing games, I play with the music off, as I find it distracting. Even if it had my favorite bands/song, I would turn still it off.
It's nice to see that small dev teams can turn out fairly polished looking games like this.
Arcade racers still exist but the worst thing about all games made today is that they have to have variety of game modes and usually have to have some sort of stupid story progression to move the game along or an open world. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2 was one of the last games to have a simple progression tree of just over 30 races each for straight up racing and hot pursuit racing. No drag or drift racing. Burnout has its crashing and boosting. How about a simple game with awesome fast cars and tracks to race on? When you win all the races you've beaten the game. The only game I've played recently that does that is Horizon Chase. It's a mobile game and it's really good. It also has an amazing soundtrack.
Love this channel. That is all.
The FOV in this game is like 99999
When DF Retro: Gran Turismo series? Would be all over that!
Looks good, will glady purchase to support the developer. Thanks.
I always turn off the music anyway, if it had better crashes one of my favorite Parts, especially crash mode would need to be there, I would buy it. I hope they make money off this and come back with the real deal. I bought Burnout Paradise remastered for Xbox One X, just not the same as Burnout Revenge or Burnout 3 man I miss crash mode.
Yeah, its good to have OPTIONS, its just when you don't have them its sucks.
Still not the replacement I've been waiting for since Revenge. How much longer...?
This is just 7 people. The music issue is obvious, they don't have the money to license music or created their own soundtrack. It's still very impressive what they've achieved and I wish all indies would release games like this. But you can't expect AAA production values or polish from small teams.
Yikes, that 30fps on the old consoles is some nasty. I recommend just skipping this game unless you have a Pro or X.
yep 30fps is worthless
Still fascinates me how optization can even make old Jaguar hardware run games this well...Imagine if there was enough budget for developers to optimize a lot more for PC hardware too.
Console always get the best optimization you get the most for your money. PC games use a Brute Force approach they don't waste money on optimization they make people buy new hardware all the time. U get very little for your money
@@xjohn1970 develops definitely due optimize for PC, just not to the degree of consoles is all. And PC gamers DO NOT buy new hardware all the time. If you take a look at steam hardware analysis. You will see that majority people (aka non-pc enthusiasts ) stick around with their hardware for 5 years or more. I've been using mine for 7 years now, only changed the graphics csrd after 5 years, still pumping out triple A modern games anywhere between 70 to well over 100 FPS. With exceptions to heavy heavy CPU utilizing games or games with just no dedication to even the slightest PC optimization
@@xjohn1970 Not anymore. Console optimization has been trash since the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Beautiful! Agree with you that it feels like 1 through the lense of 3🤷♂️ but hey I'm excited about it😁
Wait... did he just ask John if he’s fine?
This is something I can get behind; then maybe the sequel gets more bells and whistles 😁🙏
Is there going to be a video on the MCC 4k update and Reach when it releases?
Ohhh that's true. Hopefully not.
@@Exponaut_R-01 hopefully not? Why not want an analysis of the 4k patch for Master Chief Collection?
Oooooops. I was misinterpreting. Nevermind heh
Just needs a map pack with urban cities or "close copies" of their old maps. And bring in DJ Stryker for some announcing and just call him striker lol
Does it have a traffic crash course mode like the old Burnouts did? I used to LOVE trying to roll my car into oncoming traffic for maximum points and devastation!
Unfortunately it's exclusive to the Epic Games store.
And because of that the game can't even support online leaderboards...
@@CAVR does this mean this isn't on PS3 either?
@@queenqueen594 PS3? It's for XOne, PS4 and PC (exclusively on the Epic Store). And because the EGS doesn't have leaderboards, this feature It's not present on the PC version, only on the console versions.
