Next-gen Burnout named

Electronic Arts has announced that the Burnout game in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will be called Burnout Paradise.

Set for release this winter, the game promises an "unprecedented level of crash deformation" and a large free-roaming world. According to EA this was the original vision of the series' creators.

"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 and raise the bar to an all-new high," said Pete Hawley, Executive Producer, Burnout Paradise. "There are going to be some big surprises and a lot of new features but the core of the game is still pure Burnout. Instant accessibility will be reinforced by innovative on-line capabilities which will see Burnout Paradise smash racing conventions."
