The next Burnout game, 6 in the core series, may have been unveiled as “Burnout Crash”, ahead of an official announcement.
While it is highly likely we will see something of the next Burnout title at E3 2011 on June 7th now that the game has been outed, I’d still slide this under “rumor” and take the following description with a grain of salt until we see an actual announcement.
However the game was revealed via an ESRB post which gives us the description of what’s in the title. From this you can glean many details, such as the fact that the game will apparently feature cartoony graphics and will be for Xbox 360 and PS3 (at least, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it for much more though).
Here is how the content descriptor reads:
“This is an action game in which players earn points for creating traffic pileups. From a top-down perspective, players initiate crashes by driving ‘cartoony’ vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) into busy intersections; multiple crashes trigger score multipliers and rack up large ‘bills’ of property damage. Each level is accompanied by crashing sounds, small explosions, and vocal encouragement (e.g., ‘Cool,’ ‘Maximum Carnage!’). In some levels, players are instructed to crash into police cars (e.g., ‘Crash them before they bust you!’); in other sequences, oversized airplanes, tornados, lobster monsters, and UFOs slide across the screen, destroying any vehicles in their path.”
Additionally the game is given an E10+ rating.
