Burnout Paradise Presents: Cartoon Network - The City



Burnout Paradise Presents: Cartoon Network - The City is a future open world racing video game in the Burnout franchise. It is a spinoff of Burnout Paradise and a crossover between it and Cartoon Network. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch.

Gameplay
At its core, Burnout Paradise Presents: Cartoon Network - The City takes the intellectual properties of Burnout Paradise and expands it to incorporate reimagined iconic Cartoon Network characters and properties, effectively making it a crossover that promises the best of both worlds.

The core gameplay for the game is nearly the same as its inspiration; players are still free to take any route they so choose to complete races, and the overall goal of the game is still to raise a player's driver license from a learners permit to the highest rank available by completing various events scattered across the city. These events can be started by simultaneously pressing the brake and accelerator at the same time. The two damage models, "Driveaway" & "Wrecked", and Showtime return from the original Paradise, and the "Easy Drive" system also returns for online play. The Crashbreaker mechanic also makes a return after being absent from the previous installment, and it can be used in every non-Showtime event once the player receives a specific upgrade to their license.

Despite containing very similar gameplay principles, the game as aforementioned above incorporates and reimagines iconic Cartoon Network characters and properties to make it stand out from its namesake. Rather than Paradise City, the game is set in a reimagined version of The City (see below). Characters in-game are represented as various paint schemes that can be applied to any vehicle the player owns. Also, depending on what character the player chooses, the color of their vehicles' boost and Crashbreaker flames will change to correspond with that character. Driving through paint shops gives the car an alternate paint scheme for the chosen character and completing special vehicle takedowns and certain events award the player with new vehicles, characters and paint schemes.

Game Modes
Collectively, there are a total of ? types of playable events in the game; 4 have both single player and online versions, 2 are single player events that cannot be played online (marked by asterisks) and ? are exclusive to online play only. Akin to its inspiration, when a player earns a new license, all events are reset. This allows the player to beat them again to earn wins toward their next license.

Single Player Version

If the player succeeds, an upgraded version of the car the player is driving will be awarded and delivered to the Junkyard, and a new character will be unlocked and available to be chosen the next time the player is in the Junkyard.

The City
The title setting, The City is a reimagined, open world version of CN City, a CGI-built city prominently featured in several TV bumpers for Cartoon Network from 2004 to 2007.

Almost as large as its TV incarnation, The City features an area of 100 square miles and over 400 miles of drivable road. The area also has many of the same landmarks found in the above link and the bumpers albeit updated that the player can explore, discover and use, such as a major highway (I-92) which provides a quick way to cross large areas of the city. A day/night cycle and a dynamic weather system are also featured to give The City an even more authentic experience.

Trivia

 * First Game Idea created by LoganC22 for 2023.
 * It is also the third crossover created by him to date, and the first since 2021's Twisted Metal: Simpsons Special Edition.
 * It is also the winner of LoganC22's poll for which crossover he should make for 2023. Out of 15 officially counted votes, the game received 7 votes, or roughly 47% of all votes.
 * The third Burnout Idea overall created by LoganC22.
 * It is also the last Burnout Idea he intends to make for the foreseeable future, according to him.
 * According to LoganC22, he first conceived the idea for the game on October 1st, 2022, the 30th anniversary of Cartoon Network. However, he decided to wait until January 2023 to publish the Idea, as he knew the 15th anniversary of the first Burnout Paradise would be acknowledged then.
