New "Burnout" Game Announced: Danger Zone

[bork]

Three Fields Entertainment, a studio made up of former Burnout franchise developers, has announced Danger Zone, a new 3D vehicular destruction game due out digitally for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam in May for $12.99 / £9.99 / €12.99.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Three Fields:

    About

    Danger Zone is an all new 3D vehicular destruction game, a genre we know well. The concept is simple : crash for cash by creating the biggest car crash.

    The Danger Zone is a virtual Crash Testing Facility where players step into the shoes of a dangerous driver and are challenged to survive a variety of spectacular crash testing scenarios.

    It’s easy to crash, but can you also grab all of the Bonus Pickups?

    Powered by Unreal Engine, Danger Zone combines real physical crashes with explosive gameplay. Shunt vehicles into oncoming traffic, take down trailers to shed their payloads and use your explosive “SmashBreaker” to move your vehicle around. The more explosions you cause, the bigger your score.

    If you’re feeling burnt out by congestion and jammed roads, take the highway to the Danger Zone. Take your revenge on rush hour traffic. This place is a paradise for those who like their driving flame-grilled.

    Features

        Single Player Game Mode featuring 20 unique crash testing scenarios.
        Connected Leaderboards allow comparison of player scores between Friends and the whole world.

    Danger Zone will be available for digital download on the PlayStation 4 and for PC via the Steam Store.

Yes

Knew Dangerous Golf was a test bed for something more when I read who was behind it.

I see some of the same props and textures in those screens. Even those explosion sparks look identical.

Please be more like 3: Takedown than later entries. PLEASE.

From what they're saying, it sounds like Crash Mode from Takedown expanded out into a full game. Which I am okay with.

$12.99 for basically Crash Mode: The Game? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah.

Hell yes. I vastly prefer the expertly designed and tightly scripted layout of Burnout 3's courses.

I found Paradise to be meandering and relied too heavily on bland and opportunistic encounter design. If I wanted to do open world racing, Midnight Club was the superior series and was doing it for years. Really never understand the weird obsession from the small audience that game attracted. Paradise killed the franchise.

[Great Rumbler]

I liked wandering around the map in Paradise more than I did the actual racing.

FWIW, I played the shit outta Paradise, loved it. Burnout 3 was a better game though.
