Generation 4: Revenge

Burnout Revenge

The fourth generation of Burnout saw the light of day on the 13th of September 2005 in the US and 23rd of September 2005 in Europe with the release of Burnout Revenge. This generation is the refinement of generation 3, and was generally geared towards getting revenge on the rivals that have taken you down. Burnout Revenge gave us BurnoutAholics the tools to seek revenge from our rivals, both in single and multiplayer modes.

Burnout: Generations

Introduction

I have thought for a while about the differences in the gameplay of the current 6 Burnout titles, and how they fit into an evolutionary generation-chain of 5 distinct generations of gameplay evolution, and thought I ought to write an article exploring the evolutionary ladder of the game series we all love and cherish. This article will only cover gameplay differences between the generations, as improvements in graphics and sound quality and such should be considered inconsequential when judging the playability of a game.

First public outing of Burnout Paradise

Criterion Games will have a hands-on ONLINE enabled playable demo of Burnout Paradise at both the Sony conference tomorrow morning and at the main "show floor" in Barker Hangar. 

This will be the first real public outing of Burnout Paradise and Alex Ward says that they are very excited to show the game for the first time. 

Conclusion

As we have seen the Burnout series has come a long way since it all began in 2002, but strangely we find that the latest generation have actually started to go back to some of the old ways. Generation 4 must be said to be the generation furthest away from the original game, maybe just a bit too far away, as Criterion decided to check their history books to find out how Burnout was meant to be played in 2002 and incorporated some of the original ideas back into the fifth generation. 

Generation 5: Domination

Burnout Dominator

The fifth generation of Burnout is unearthed in the game Burnout Dominator, released for the Sony Playstation 2 and Playstation Portable on the 6th of March 2007 in the US, on the 22nd of March 2007 in Australia (26th of April 2007 for the PSP release), 23rd of March 2007 in Europe (27th of April for the PSP release) and is scheduled for a 20th of September 2007 release in Japan. Many would count Burnout Dominator as a spin-off in generation 4 (or some would even say generation 3), but I feel that this game has taken the series to a new level since it includes new modes of gameplay and several other “breaking changes” compared to generation 4.
