How EA Killed Burnout For NFS?

In this video we will talk about the incredible rise and fall of Burnout and Criterion Games from Burnout becoming one of the most iconic arcade racing franchises to EA acquiring Criterion and eventually changing the studio forever. We’ll look at how Burnout 3 and Burnout Paradise became fan favourites, what happened after Criterion took over Need for Speed, why the original developers left, and how the studio slowly lost the identity that made Burnout special.
