Danger Zone Really Is Burnout's Crash Mode on PS4

And it's out imminently

by Sammy Barker Wed 17th May 2017

Three Fields Entertainment may be working with a threadbare budget, but it really has managed to resurrect Burnout's Crash Mode. It’s not even trying to get creative with it anymore either: Danger Zone literally looks like it’s been ripped right out of Burnout 3: Takedown and slapped on the PlayStation 4. The simplistic crash dummy environments aren’t really much to write home about, but if the gameplay loop’s in place, then who cares, eh?

The title’s due out on 30th May, which is less than two weeks away. It’ll cost just $12.99 in North America and £9.99 in the UK, which seems reasonable for some simplistic crash-tastic action. Who’s in? Initiate your smashbreaker in the comments section below.

Cool. I don't need to do this in GTA Online now to get my kicks.

Instant purchase.

Also, Dangerous Golf was great.

Hardly...This game looks like it's about crashing, rather than racing. I get the crash mode comparison, but because this is made specifically for crashing...Elements of high speed and such look lost on it. The level design looks created, and not real. What's the purpose to the cars being there?, as it doesn't look like a real road.

Just a tiff of mine. I'd prefer more context other than, "Just Because." Same problem that I had ClusterTruck. It's got that Mobile effect of being a boring simulator thing, rather than a true to form arcade game.

I absolutely loved the crash mode in Burnout 3 so I'm pretty interested in this.

@drd7of14 Ermmm? This looks exactly the same as Burnout 3: Takedown's crash mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9B9nazFGEY

Even the way the UI's laid out is identical.

Day 1 for me, was gutted when EA bought criterion and made them make Need for Speed games. The Burnout series was great and I still think the first on the Gamecube was the most intense, this looks like great fun though

I am super excited about this one and for the price it will be a day one purchase. Crash mode provided endless hours of entertainment back in the day. I would give anything for a full arcade-style Burnout game with closed tracks like in BO3.
