Today EA Games announced that they are going to be publishing Burnout Paradise for the PC. This is the first incarnation of the franchise to arrive on the PC. According to EA, the game is being “rebuilt specifically for the PC” including an expanded multiplayer and new “community driven content.”
I always thought that the Burnout games would be better on PC. You can get better frame rates and customized controls, two things I thought the Burnout games needed. Hopefully it will be released on steam so I don’t have to go to the store to pick it up.
