6 Ways Dangerous Driving Is The Burnout Sequel We’ve Always Wanted

Video Leave a comment
Made by a team of ex-Criterion devs, Dangerous Driving is the closest thing we’ve played to a proper Burnout sequel since Burnout Paradise. If you grew up on Burnout 2, 3 or Revenge, you’ll be right at home with the cars, tracks and crashes. Find out more in our new Dangerous Driving gameplay.

The Burnout series was always a favourite of ours – different people like different iterations of the game, and Dangerous Driving caters to them all. If you preferred the game before Burnout 3 added shunting takedowns, you’ll like Heatwave, where Burnout 2’s boost chaining returns in spectacular fashion. If you prefer the violence of 3 and Revenge, then you’ll be right at home in Road Rage or Pursuit, hammering the competition into smoking bits. Our Dangerous Driving impressions and gameplay take you through all the major modes of the game and shows how they tap into the history of Burnout.

This isn’t a full Dangerous Driving review – we’ve only just jumped into the final PC version to deliver that verdict as soon as we can. But we do love the way Dangerous Driving evolves all the old Criterion ideas. The way wrecks are persistent in races is a great twist, as the second lap is now littered with the remains of your messy driving on the first lap. Or how Heatwave gives you a 2 mile top speed boost every time you chain a boost – the better you play, the faster that car will go. Don’t puke. Oh, and if you loved Burnout’s soundtrack, you’ll love how Dangerous Driving music is handled – by linking to Spotify you can bring in playlists of your choice, racing to whatever licenced music you want to.

Elsewhere in our Dangerous Driving gameplay we look at how car unlocks add a touch of strategy, how Burnout’s survival mode makes its glorious return and celebrate the return of crashing aftertouch, where you steer your car into the remains of rivals to get a fresh boost. Mmm. If you’re a sucker for slow motion crashes, then you will probably get a kick out of this. You’ll be able to get Dangerous Driving PS4 and Dangerous Driving Xbox One, but we captured this on Xbox One X – where the game is 60FPS and 1440p (sorry for the 1080p capture, our console capture card is a bit limited). We’ll show some Dangerous Driving PC gameplay ASAP.

Dangerous Driving is out on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on April 9. It is an Epic Game Store exclusive on PC however. So if that’s not your bag, you’ll just have to replay Burnout Paradise instead. If you have any questions about Dangerous Driving, pop them in the comments and we’ll do our best to answer them. Thanks for watching and hopefully see you soon.

Mega Sg vs a Potato – Which should you buy?!

Video Leave a comment
It has come to my attention that Mr. Jesus is a very shifty character with very weak morals. In fact, Metal’s values are so low that Mr. Jesus would step all over their own mother for small personal gains. What Mr. Jesus practices is the moral equivalent of going to a junior high and handing out AK-47s to the children as they exit! ‘Sure,’ you say, ‘Mr. Jesus is not harming me any! Why should I care?’ Why should you care about Mr. Jesus’s haneous crimes against humanity? Here is why!

Let me begin by saying that Metal was once a very close and personal friend of mine — until Metal stabbed me in the back and slept with my spouse! Metal then went on to steal my credit card and purcase seventeen cases of adult materials off of the internet. When I attempted to purchase a fishing pole at a local Wal-Mart my credit was rejected; it was embarassing for both me and my date.

Now don’t get me wrong here, but Mr. Jesus is a threat to the national security of our country. I personally saw Mr. Jesus smuggling a fingernail file onboard a flight — to, get this, FILE THEIR FINGERNAILS! I feel violated, as if someone pulled down my metaphorical pants in front of a large crowd of my peers.

Mr. Jesus’s malevolent practices extend far beyond personal assault; they reach even our animal friends. Mr. Jesus is against animals and against owning them. In fact, several years ago Metal drafted Proposition 34B, also known as the Animal Ban Act. It went on to recieve one vote: Metal’s. Now let me ask you: why should someone as hateful as Metal A. Jesus be allowed to roam the streets? I would be afraid to let my children out to play if Metal was anywhere near them. The fact of the matter is this: Metal is also opposed to childrens rights, too! On numerous occasions Metal has thrown wadded up paper and stones at children as they played in a sandbox. Unfortunately, Mr. Jesus fled the scene before the authorities arrived.

I am downright sick and tired of the preachy nature of Mr. Jesus! Metal does absolutely nothing but blame others for their own problems. Did you know that Metal recently blamed me, Metal Jesus, an outstanding citizen of my community and a rolemodel for today’s youth for World War 1! I had not even been born yet, but Metal sure thought that blaming me would make it all better. The fact is that I had nothing to do with WW1, or even WW2 for that matter!

Several summers ago, Metal held a yard sale and sold many defective and fradulent items. Metal sold my friend a chair that supposedly had once belonged to Abraham Lincoln. Metal even had a certificate of authenticity signed by Mr. Lincoln. By the time they got home they realized the chair had a ‘Hello Kitty’ engraving in the back, was made out of plastic and painted brown, and stated ‘copyright 1998’.
