Burnout is still one of the most beloved racing series' of all time, so it's pretty crazy to think we haven't had a truly new entry in the series since all the way back in 2008, with the release of Burnout Paradise for Xbox 360.
That game has since been remastered for Xbox One, but we're waiting on something completely fresh, and it looks like the folks at Sony are randomly asking fans questions about Burnout in a new survey:
"Received an email from Sony with link to a survey. First question was asking if I'd heard of games like Miles Morales, Godfall etc...and then Burnout?!"
"Again, Burnout randomly mentioned in another question which mainly featured more modern games. Are Sony looking at doing something with the Burnout IP?"
There's no mention of Xbox here of course, but it does seem bizarre that Sony is asking these questions, considering that Burnout developer Criterion is owned by EA. Perhaps the PlayStation team is gauging interest in a potential exclusive, or maybe PlayStation Studios is considering making a Burnout-style racer for themselves.
Ultimately, this could be much ado about nothing, but we're always excited to see any kind of mention of the Burnout franchise. Hopefully, if something is in the works, it's not going to be restricted to just PlayStation alone.
Do you think these Burnout survey questions from Sony mean anything? Give us your thoughts down below.

I loved Burnout Paradise ( like everybody else here, I am sure). I always felt that Need for Speed Most Wanted on the 360 had more in common with Burnout than other NFS games, and always thought of that as a sort of sequel to Paradise.
Don't call it a comeback!

In all seriousness though, a new burnout would be awesome. In fact a HD collection of the first 3 would be better. I still need to check out those Dangerous Driving games at some point they look like spiritual successors.
Hell, between Burnout and Destruction Derby, their influence can be felt as far as things like Forza Horizon
Remastered first three games would be very cool, a totally new game would also be great
The last couple of generations have been very lacking in arcade racers in general; we need more!
Plus a sequel to Split Second
Hoo Lee Sheet!
Hopefully they can revive the franchise or it can at least take a new form so that I can finally die in peace.
Closest to Burnout is probably Dangerous Driving developed by Three Fields Entertainment which was founded by the guys that created Criterion games
The only racing game that someone should be making more of is the Split/Second game. That was the best racing game of all time and I was so upset when they never made another one. I personally don't care at all about any other racing/car games except Forza Horizon.
I enjoyed Burnout Paradise, And whilst we're on Racing Games I wish they would make another Blur that was a fun game with all the power ups
Re-release Burnout 3, that's all I want that game was near perfect
Some smart people with good taste in this thread: Split/Second, Blur, Burnout 3, all stellar titles which desperately NEED a true sequel.
But seeing as I'm a fan of all three, I'd also settle for a remaster...
Oh, and while we're at it, let's add FlatOut Ultimate Carnage to the list as well.
YES. WE WANT ANOTHER BURNOUT. HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS?!
