Burnout is a loved franchise, but the next Burnout game will be different than the normal Burnout games. Tha game will only be about crashes. The description of the ESRB website alsl says the game would be played as a top-down racegame. The new Burnout game would be called Burnout Crash. The graphics of this game would be a cartoony game.

The main point is still the same and will be about making damage and earn points about it, but the gameplay would expand more. Like you have to crash police cars before they catch you and there would be many sound used to encourage the player.

This all sounds like the game will be a psn game. The game isn't officially announced yet by Criterion Games but you will probably hear more on the E3 2011 soon in June.

Quote "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."
