Its 'Burnout Paradise' this Winter!

Electronic Arts (EA) has christened the next chapter of its popular demolition racing series as 'Burnout Paradise,' slated to arrive alongside on both Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3 this winter, the company announced.

Developer of 'Burnout Paradise,' UK-based Criterion Games, said it has greatly improved upon the game's Gen-Next graphics.
And, judging from the game's very first trailer released by EA, graphics appear visibly more detailed than those in 'Burnout Revenge' for the Xbox 360, which is till date the only Gen-Next 'Burnout' edition.

While none of the famed 'Burnout' car crashes are featured in the trailer, EA says 'Burnout Paradise' promises a truly Gen-Next game play with the most explosive pile-ups in the history of the franchise.

According to EA, this is more so because 'Burnout Paradise' sports an open world environment, giving gamers license to roam about 'Paradise City' at will, embark on a destruction spree with their cars, and earn points along the way - only to get their hands on leaner, meaner machines, capable of inflicting worser damage.

"We have been working towards 'Burnout Paradise' for quite some time. Next generation consoles have opened up a raft of new gameplay opportunities, and the Criterion team has leapt at the chance to innovate," said Executive Producer of 'Burnout Paradise,' Pete Hawley

Hawley has promised some 'big surprises' in terms of new features and online capabilities, but says the new title's game play will remain true to the essence of 'Burnout'.
