Now I'm usually not a fan of realistic sim racers, but I do enjoy a good aracade-y racer that's fun to play.

I expect the next Burnout to look the same as the last one with minor improvement. But now that I actually see it in action I was totally wrong.

First a gameplay trailer:

Before you decide this isn't for you, there is another huge difference other than a graphical update to the game and that is that they changed Burnout completely and now it is a sandbox game where the whole world is open territory for crashes, races and objectives.

Literally anywhere you can decide to race people or do a crash stunt or anything. Also, people can jump in with you online and you can both wreak havoc at the same time in the same world up to 8 players at a time... 

Burnout is really turning out great, how many cars will it have. As far as arcade racers go, Burnout looks to become the top one of them all.

No idea on the number of car types. I also like Burnout the most out of the arcade racers.
