Posted by on July 7th, 2011 | 0 Comments | Tags: ,

EA has unveiled the next installment in the Burnout series, Burnout Crash being developed by Burnout vets Criterion Games. We have known about the game for a while now thanks to the ESRB, but now we finally have some real info and screens to show off.

Don’t mind that silly Xbox Button.

Richard Franke, Creative Director on the title had the following to say.

We’ve evolved the core gameplay which everyone loved about Crash Mode, and expanded the whole experience using music, style and Autolog to create what we feel is the most mindless fun you can have on any gaming platform.

The game has a host of features included, 3 gameplay modes across 18 “crash junctions” with a bunch of vehicles to unlock to boot. The most exciting feature however is the Autolog tech that was included with Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. With it players will be able to compare and compete with players across the world. This video explains it a lot better than I can.

So get ready to crash, some time this Fall.
