More specifically it keeps exploding in slow motion for as long as you can keep other people exploding. The way it works is at any point while you're driving around and the mood takes you, with the press of a button you enter Showtime mode and your car explodes. Which brings us onto Showtime, Criterion's completely insane replacement for Crash mode.

And in Stunt Run how well you know the city is obviously important because it'll let you string together the most stunts." A full half of Paradise's world is boondocks, which oddly feel really restrictive after the city sprawl. For instance, in Marked Man the black cars won't follow you down any shortcuts you know about. "We spent one hell of a long time making the world, which was good because it gave us the chance to design it around our two new game modes. You'll want as many billboards and fences as possible to smash through, too.Īnd according to Nick, these modes are really going to shine because of the new free-roaming world. When you perform a stunt the timer stops for a few seconds and you start building a combo, so it's all about figuring out paths through the city that'll let you cram in the most jumps, slides, and spins - a new addition to Burnout that can only be done on lopsided ramps. Then there's Stunt Run, which gives you a timer and a score target and sets you on your way. Whether to try the event in a fast car and just run away from them, or to pick a tough car and try and stand up for yourself is up to you. Out to get you are a pack of tough black cars that are as insane as they are vicious, and they'll dog you right up to the finish line. You start the event somewhere in the city and are tasked with getting somewhere else without being taken down a certain number of times. Let's start with Marked Man, which Nick describes as "Road Rage in reverse" and we'd describe as a horrible Burnout-induced fever dream. 76 cars to choose from! Although now they're split into Speed, Stunt and Aggression categories.
But while we were down at EA talking to Mr Channon we also got the chance to try out Paradise's new gameplay modes, and hopefully it'll relieve a few of you to hear that they all seem to hit the balance between being fresh and being Burnout. It's been tough, but we've got there in the end." we've created this world and we want to keep you in it. It has to be Burnout, and I'm sure the player will realise it quintessentially still is, but we wanted to deliver that in what we felt was a next-gen way. Alex Ward, our creative director, believes really passionately that we should try to be bold and create something that we feel is truly next-gen.
The easiest thing is to just go into a menu and select 'I want to do this event'. "Yes, it's bold! Throwing everything away has been a huge risk, and if you came upstairs into the studios I don't think anyone would tell you it's been easy. well, it is, according to Nick Channon, Paradise's senior producer. Then there's the removal of Crash mode and the replacing of levels with a single, huge open city. Paradise's crazed next-gen design document involves no menus, right down to players not having an option to instantly restart challenges, and a focus on online multiplayer that's entirely new to the series. Like a mum on her kid's first day at school before that dishy gardener shows up, lots of people are worried about Burnout Paradise.
