Burnout Paradise: Remastered takes you down to Paradise City once again 10 years after the original release. Now with every single DLC included (alongside the ones the original Windows version lacked), PC players could finally experience a complete version of the game they got on consoles all those years ago.
It's also notable for being the only 8th generation game to use the RenderWare engine many years after it was discarded for other, more powerful, engines.

Text Display Test
There's quite a bit of unused text in the release build, presumably from the devs trying out their text display system, starting at 0xA0645D. If some of it sounds familiar, it's probably because a number of these lines were in the original game as well. Lines appear to be separated by a null value; line breaks have been added for readability:
Director people Fiona and alex A load of badgers badger.badger.badger badger badger.badger.badger.badger.badger Word wrap test word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing word thing Coolest person Steve but not as much as Chris Tall people Scott and Andy Some other people Toby.Phil.Graham.Rob. A load of badgers badger.badger.badger badger badger.badger.badger.badger.badger Short person Hellen
These messages are repeated four times in the executable.
Unused/Leftover Audio
The unused audio from the original game remains here, along with a couple of unused songs.
Music
The following were used in the original version of Burnout Paradise, though seemingly due to licensing issues, they don't play in-game anymore. Both are mentioned in the credits.
- Finger on the Trigger - Never Heard Of It (NEVER_HEARD_OF_IT.SNS)
- Everyone Has Their Secrets - Showing Off to Thieves (SHOWING_OFF_TO_THEIVES.SNS)
Oddities
Bikes customization
In the original versions of Burnout Paradise, the unlockable Nakamura FV1100-TI and Nakamura Firehawk GP Competition motorcycles arrived wrecked like normal cars. Since Auto Repairs don't work for motorcycles, this had the side effect of making their paint jobs and finishes (and for the former, the rider's gender) uncustomizable, but the game was later patched to put them in a repaired state, which enabled the customization function for them. However, in Remastered the bikes arrive wrecked again, and this time that oversight wasn't fixed on consoles, though it was properly addressed on the PC release.
According to the VEHICLELIST.BUNDLE, a massive bunch of cars have Carson as their manufacturer. This is true for the traffic cars and vehicles which were released after the Burnout Bikes' addition, and has remained as such in Remastered.
Steering wheel
To do: Investigate why steering wheel doesn't work in PS4. Maybe disabled in script file |
Steering wheel functionality is present on all platforms sans PlayStation 4. This also applies to the remaster of Need for Speed: Hot pursuit (2010).
Out of bound map
By using free camera mode, you can explore out-of-bounds and locate leftover developer items that normally are unreachable. These were also in the original version.
Work-in-Progress Vehicles
The VEHICLELIST.BUNDLE lists two unused finishes for both the Hunter Annihilator Street Rod (which is internally called the Extreme Annihilator) and Montgomery Hawker Mech (named as belonging to Hunter instead of Montgomery), plus an Aston Martin... oddly. These items are flagged as being work-in-progress to make them unavailable in the junkyard, and their default colors indicate them as being pearlescent black, pearlescent black, and gloss red respectively. The Aston Martin car lacks files for it, however, and is set not to appear in any of the vehicle categories.
The Montgomery Hawker Mech has two fully functional finishes that can't be chosen in the junkyard.
Leftover (Sponsor) Vehicles
Despite these cars not having any files leftover in this remaster (as the sponsorship agreements had expired long ago), their icons (excluding the Chrome Car which lacks one entirely) and descriptions can still be found in the resources.
Name | Junkyard Icon | Blurb | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Blu-Ray Hawker | N/A | This sponsor variant, which never got released, could be found in the PS3 release of the original game. It would most likely have been exclusive to that platform, had it been released. | |
Circuit City Hot Rod | CAR_BLURB_PSPCIR: This hot red hot rod is brought to you exclusively by Circuit City. Take it for a spin and point those front wheels at the sky. | ||
GameStop Sport | CAR_BLURB_PSPGAS: A classy rebuild of the Touge Sport from the Gamestop race team. Get out there and rack up some big drifting yardage. | ||
MicroMania Custom | CAR_BLURB_PSPMICR: The Micromania team bring their own Gallic flair to this exclusive Hydros Custom. Vive la Burnout! | ||
Ikusa GT B'z | CAR_BLURB_PSPBZ: Rock gods B'z bring you this fantastic custom Ikusa GT. Crank it up to 11, and rock on! | Its speed is somewhat superior to the original Ikusa GT's, and was available to be obtained in Japanese copies of the original game using the "bzfriction" sponsor code. | |
BestBuy Oval Champ | CAR_BLURB_PSPBEST: This mellow oval racer is available only from the guys at the BestBuy racing team. Get out on the road and open her up! | ||
Target Überschall 8 | CAR_BLURB_PSPT: Take aim, then take down the opposition with this remodeled Uberschall 8, custom-built for Target. | Never released, nor could it be obtained normally as the retail chain Target only started selling Xbox 360 and PS3 games around mid-2010, two years after the original game was published. The Junkyard icon uses an earlier model of the Überschall 8 which resembles the Modified Super from Burnout 3: Takedown. | |
Tilly's Custom | CAR_BLURB_PSPTS: The chic Tilly's Reliable Custom is an essential inclusion to the garage of any fashion-conscious Burnout driver. If it's not here...it's not happening. | The clothing company Tilly's did not sell copies of Burnout Paradise in their stores. Why exactly it was cut is unknown, although it could be related to an apparel collaboration agreement that fell through. | |
"Steel Wheels" GT | CAR_BLURB_PSPMETL: The armor-plated Steel Wheels packs plenty of extra weight for grinding persistent rivals into the wall. | This GT Concept variant was a pre-order bonus for Burnout Paradise before release, and was more suited for vehicular combat than racing. | |
Walmart WTR | CAR_BLURB_PSPWAL: The Walmart Racing WTR sports their distinctive star-spangled livery. Save money. Live better. Drive harder. | ||
Yodobashi Custom | CAR_BLURB_PSPYODO: Yodobashi exclusively bring you this funky Hydros Custom. Get out there and chain some Burnouts! | Again, the reasons to Yodobashi being dropped as a sponsor are unknown. Of note is that the music group B'z already sponsored the Japanese version, even though Yodobashi also sells video games and could have promoted Burnout Paradise. | |
The Chrome Car | N/A | CAR_BLURB_PSPCHRO: Built for a special effects team, this unique ride can take plenty of punishment and always comes up shiny. | Alongside the "Steel Wheels" GT, this non-sponsored vehicle was omitted from Burnout Paradise: Remastered. |
Version Differences
The Criterion logo screen was revised in the Switch version due to the developer changing its logo during the two-year gap between the Switch port and the other versions.
PS4, Xbox One, PC | Switch |
---|---|
Removed Freeburn gamemode
A removed Freeburn gamemode can enabled by modding; it was called "Super jump checkpoint" and has a missing text string but is similar to race mode.
