[mckmas8808]

EA is hoping to get our motors running, again, with an announcement that the next instalment in the Burnout series will go on show at this year's E3.

Only a few details of Burnout Revenge have been revealed so far, but we do know that it's all about, er, commuting. And that it's on PS2 and Xbox.

The game "lets gamers live out their wildest commuter fantasies", giving them the chance to "rip through rush hour traffic and lay waste to scores of rubbernecking roadhogs in an over-the-top scene of vehicular mayhem," said an overly-excited press release.

As well as new "tricked out" race, crash and road rage modes, there's the all-new Revenge mode which challenges players to battle against the clock in a race to get home in time for Hollyoaks.

The game follows last year's Burnout 3: Takedown, which won three BAFTAs - including Best PS2 Game and Best Racing Game - and sold around 15 million billion trillion copies.

Burnout Revenge is slated for a September release on PS2 and Xbox. You'll find some screenshots here.

am I the only one in thinking that this will probably suck? Since EA is in full control of the series (AFAIK Burnout 3 was already long in development when Criterion was taken over), I'm not going to expect more since they already ruined my once favorite racing series (Need for Speed) and aren't likely to go back. :?

Is it now using the NFSU engine?

No, but why do you ask? the game seems darker(not because of the night shot) compared to the very colorful BO3. no mention of a next-gen version....yet

The 1st shot almost looks like it's from a NSFU game, though the 2nd one looks more like test drive: eve of destruction or driv3r.
