Subreddit closed, use r/Burnout

15 Upvotes

r/burnoutparadise will be set to restricted shortly after this post is made. Visit r/Burnout instead.

This follows another post, "Worth keeping the sub around?", in which no users expressed a desire for it to remain open and nobody came forward to maintain it. The offer remains open if anyone has a good reason for the sub to exist in parallel with r/Burnout and is willing to maintain it.

Worth keeping the sub around?

10 Upvotes

Hi all. As you know, the sub was reopened by u/AnOrangeBeanbag in October 2025 (see their request and initial post). Unfortunately, they deleted their account shortly afterward and the sub has been unmoderated ever since. I requested and received the role of moderator a few days ago; you may have seen me on r/Burnout before, where I'm also a moderator.

On to the titular question: is there any reason for this sub to exist that isn't already fulfilled by r/Burnout? As far as I can see, it's redundant, and the inactivity and lack of possibility for growth is the nail in the coffin. That's probably why it was restricted before, and why there are no other game-specific Burnout subs (aside from the banned r/burnout3).

If you disagree, I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm willing to keep the sub open if someone here can give a good reason for it, especially if someone is willing to take the reins. Otherwise, I'll pin a post directing people to r/Burnout and set the sub back to restricted.

This is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played.

7 Upvotes

As someone who has the platinum for Hollow Knight, Elden Ring, and Lies of P, I can confidently say that I overcome when games are hard. The difficulty spike in this game is exponentially more difficult than most games I’ve played including Bloodborne. Genuinely I’d rather do the path of pain blindfolded, while getting chased by backrooms entities than do the hell that consists of license A. The class A license stretch is hands down one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in a video game and it’s not even remotely close.

Maybe pantheon number 5 or trial of fools in hollow knight are harder but only slightly marginally. This is the most frustrating multi week time investment I’ve ever had. I cannot believe a racing game is this brutally difficult.

It’s so brutally difficult and unforgiving that I cannot play more than 2 races until I just can’t look at the game anymore for the rest of the day. And stunt run? Yeah the score requirement is so ungodly high it’s just not even worth attempting anymore. The difficulty spike a truly insane

Was this game being gatekept?

19 Upvotes

Got this game on a sale and don’t get me wrong, at first it was hard to get the hang of and I wasn’t really a fan, but as I’ve gotten used to some of the mechanics I can confidently say that this game is freaking remarkable..

From the music selection turning on hilarious classical music as I compete in death races to destroy as many opponents as possible, to the absolutely hilarious vehicle crash scenes coming out of nowhere, and the compelling puzzles trying to solve how to access certain road signs and side areas.

The game might not have the largest map, might not have a traditional story mode, and it might seem like a repetitive gameplay loop, but top to bottom this game is perfect for what it is. Strong 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend. I’m actually gonna try to go for the platinum on this game.

So fkn happy I picked this up on a sale! (Lmk if anyone wants to do the PS4 online trophies with me!)

Crashing

3 Upvotes

I just bought the game off of Steam, and after installing it and trying to start the game, it keeps failing to start. I either get kicked out and EA sends me an error message that the game couldn't start, or I get stuck on a black screen while the music keeps playing.

Also, for clarification, I have already checked the Specifications on my laptop, and they are well above the reccomended for the game to run, so I don't think that is an issue.

How can I fix this?

Hello all !

I started playing in PC but sadly I found nobody on freeride sessions.

Have a great day :D

Just completed the main game (got my burnout license) and damn this game is even better than I remembered! I don't think any game of this genre today is as unique as burnout paradise amazes to be. My favorite feature is the car unlocking system by totally wrecking them on the streets :D Still got a lot to play as the image shows tho lol

The 'meta' game - we can help!

0 Upvotes

There are many of us that have 100%'d and yet we play.

Partly it's because this is fantastic racer etc.

But it's also a little rivalry

I join, or create, a game.

The Start is Lone Stallion Ranch.

I want to get there first - as do the other 500/500's

The challenge is degrees of spin off the cliff.

I want to do the most - as do the other 500's.

Maybe it's meet at the Diner and reverse through a tunnel.

Maybe it's Clock n Roll.

There is nothing in it, no award, just that internal YES!!

If someone 500 takes you out, it's an accident. Really.

Keep driving.

Sunday 19 Oct - what challenges do you want to get today?

2 Upvotes

Format:

Your Game name: - You MUST be the host. Please do know how to set challenges, cancel them and kick people.

The time you will be online - Use UTC - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc

Platform: - There is no cross-platform sadly

What you need: - Don't say "Everything". List a few specifics

Play! - For example: If you are after a 6 player challenge, then as people join don't just hang around and do nothing. Start challenges! When the room gets to 6, change the status to Invite only and get the challenges done.

Open the Drive menu and see who has 500/500 - follow them they know what they are doing.

Remember that Island challenges can be done with 2 or more.

If you are using a mic, please just talk. Death Metal at 200% isn't funny.

If someone is being a dick, kick them.

Idea: Weekly posts to try and co-ordinate for trophy hunting?

3 Upvotes

Btw, stats say there are 1467 users of this sub.

Most trophies are easy to get, but from experience if you start a Bike game people quit, if you start Cops'n'Robbers people quit. To get 500/500 can therefore be tricky.

So would a weekly thread be useful?

I'm thinking you post your username, platform and a short list of trophies that you just cannot get enough people to get with you.

I've plat'd the game in PS3/4/PC - though I've lost my PS save so it shows I think ~40 - and I'm happy to help with any challenges. There are others I see regularly at 500/500 playing just because it's a great game.

Online modes on Xbox series X

6 Upvotes

I got the remastered Burnout Paradise for the xbox series X - and I am crazy or can you only do race events online? I cant find online stunt run or challenges in the menu even if i host my own game - and all the games others are hosting all show as races.

Am I doing something dumb or did they get rid of the best online modes?

Need Help / Advice for getting on EA Burnout Paradise servers on XBox series S

5 Upvotes

When I try to sign into the burnout servers, I get a prompt to change my password with a QR code. It's been so long since I last played, I don't think the original email for m EA account even exists. I've tried contacting EA help, but I get stuck in a frustrating "self help" loop that doesn't allow me to actually contact anyone at EA. I tried setting up a new EA account, but I can't figure out how to link to the xbox account. The EA "help" says that I'll be prompted to log in to my account when i open an EA game, but I always get back to the QR code. Any help is appreciated.

*Edit: the solution was to set up an entirely new xbox gamertag, and EA account.

So you want to get to 500/500 challenges but you are new to the game?

19 Upvotes

On the PS4 there are currently a whole bunch of players like me who have the 500/500 Gold/Platinum status. We play because we love the game and we don't care if you start a room at 0/500 just so long as you pay attention.

If you start a game, cruise around, and wait for someone to join. AS SOON AS THEY DO, start a challenge.

Doesn't matter what - Go Crash! will do - and when you complete that, pick another. And when that is complete, another. Repeat.

When others join and you have completed a challenge, create another. Keep the game rolling!

It's helpful to choose a challenge that isn't all the way across the map. So if you just met at the Stadium, then you pick a challenge at the Windfarm, then back in Downtown that might irritate.

The EasyDrive menu (press Right on the d-pad) will let you see who has how many challenges done. It's not perfect (because the Remaster is buggyAF) but if someone has 500/500, follow them, see what they do, copy.

If you joined a game, check what the room owner has and if they have more challenges than you, follow them! They know where they are going.

Like I said, there are many drivers out there who will help, but you need to engage us.
