burnout paradise remastered switch review

Also, the game does still take time loading up new cars in its junkyard loading area, and while traveling around its map won't cause any load times, starting up a new mission does break up the action by loading up an introduction just in case you've forgotten how a Road Rage mission works for the fifteenth time. On the downside of things, this is a game that was designed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation of consoles, and it does feel its age – there doesn't feel as much detail or graphical splendor as we've come to see in more modern racing games. You can find occasional pop-in here if you're looking for it, but it's not super-noticeable. It is absolutely thrilling being able to speed from one end of the massive map to the other at blazingly high speeds without interruption. However, the game does manage to run at a rock-solid 60FPS, dropping to under 55FPS in only some of the busiest areas of the game (thanks to Digital Foundry for the numbers), and the combination of the excellent framerates and the super-fast speeds the game is capable of delivering make for a truly superb experience when things really get going.

This version of the game retains a good amount of the improvements made for the Remastered version of the game made for more powerful modern-day hardware, such as improved shadows and particle effects, but runs at a lower resolution than those versions (900p in docked mode, 720p in handheld mode), and while this is still mostly pretty good, it does cause a massive amount of aliasing that I found to be pretty distracting when I first started the game, though I soon got used to it. When it comes to this sort of port of both an open-world game and a super-fast racing game, the biggest question will of course be how well the game fares on a technical level, and in that area, Burnout Paradise Remastered looks pretty darn good on the Nintendo Switch, all things considered. This is the fifth game in the main series of Burnout games and seventh overall, and it completely changed the formula of the high-speed, crash-focused racing series by bringing the series into an open world.
