Three Fields Entertainment recently released Dangerous Golf, a kind of twist on Burnout's very popular Crash mode. But while the title offered a nice warm-up for the UK-based studio, we've all been waiting for it to begin work on a racing title really. Fortunately, the outfit announced yesterday that work has begun on a "driving game".
Alex Ward, who founded the studio with fellow Criterion alumni Fiona Sperry, was the one to confirm the good news, which naturally prompted a very positive response from fans. Given the size of the duo's new team, it would be unreasonable to expect a Burnout Paradise-esque experience – but we'll be utterly shocked if it doesn't concoct something along the lines of the original PlayStation 2 games.
As for the name, Outburn has nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Outburn: Warmastered Edition
@Quintumply Day one.
@get2sammyb Seriously though this could potentially be an excellent racer. They're clearly passionate about it and most of the staff at Three Fields has come from Criterion in one way or another. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.
Excellent news!Been hoping for a new Burnout game..and I'd rather a game like the original 3 Burnouts cuz I wasn't a huge fan of the openworld Burn out Paradise anyway.
Still unsure about picking up Dangerous Golf..sort of hoping it will come to PS Plus
@get2sammyb Outburn?yeah I like that too...very imaginative..
As far as I am aware, didn't EA say that these guys are working with them on a Star Wars racing game?
man it would be good to have another Burnout game. Burnout 3 Takedown and Burnout Domination were probably the most fun racing games I ever played. Literally could not get bored of them.
Dangerous Golf was a bad idea.........it's super niche.
A spiritual sequel to Burnout, now that's day one.
Dangerous golf is great, although they really should have sold it as a spiritual successor to the Crash mini-game in Burnout.. It is in essence that, on a smaller scale... As soon as golf is mentioned in the title, it probably puts thousands off bothering... shame really..
@stua12t I hope that is true since I love battlefront and it's speed racer. I want a good arcade racer and NFS rivals was the last good one. NFS last yr was crap based on the beta.
@Ewflex I need to re look it up, but they were mentioned in the companies working with EA during the E3 conference.
Outburn, besides the obvious reference, also recalls Outrun, so that works for me.
If this is anything like Burnout 3 then colour me excited.
Most likely, it'll be another of those open world racers, and I ain't got time for that.
Really hope they bring Burnout 3 to ps4 as a ps2 classic soon!
