вЂњThe only others were NamcoвЂ™s Tekken team.

вЂњThe arcade racing games did it, and we were one of the only teams stupid enough to do it on PS2,вЂќ says Ward. Burnout 3 runs at 60 frames a second (at least on NTSC TVs). вЂњBoosting doesnвЂ™t add that much speed, only 10% or something, but it doesnвЂ™t feel like it, it feels like youвЂ™re going another 50 per cent faster,вЂќ says Walley, busting your understanding of the whole game.ДЄnd then thereвЂ™s its buttery-smoothness. And when you boost, the view gets even wider. This has the effect of increasing the sense of movement in your peripheral vision while making things in the centre of the view appear smaller and rush towards you faster. The roadsides are also thick with detail вЂ“ lampposts, trees, billboards and buildings вЂ“ so they flash by, and the team also made the camera wide-angled. вЂњBut when you make things twice as big, suddenly you lose the speed, so we had to make the cars twice as fast,вЂќ says Walley. You canвЂ™t dance through the traffic or light up the boost and chain it. They have to be really wide, much wider than real life. вЂњA bad racing game is one where you bounce around the walls all the time, so we had to get the sliding right and once youвЂ™ve got a handle on that you can make nice tracks. вЂњThe tracks are built around how the cars slide,вЂќ says Ward. ThatвЂ™s because the roads are twice as wide as they should be. The visual tricks that emphasised BurnoutвЂ™s need for speedД«ut while Burnout is fast, getting the sense of its speed across was still a challenge. But youвЂ™re surrounded by these themes and youвЂ™re soaking it up subconsciously.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s completely peripheral because generally you are just playing the game and trying not to crash. ItвЂ™s not the only use of an icon on the track: its castle is based on DisneyвЂ™s Cinderella Castle, which in turn is partly based on Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. вЂњEveryoneвЂ™s quite familiar with that mountain at the beginning of Indiana Jones, so thatвЂ™s the reference I used,вЂќ he says. For example, the familiar-looking mountain in the bend just after the toll booths is based on the Paramount logo. вЂњIn my track thereвЂ™s a bunch of stuff that you associate with alpine locations,вЂќ says Walley, who now runs his own studio, Escapist Games. Tracks had, therefore, to get across their sense of place very quickly, whether the Californian forests or a Hong Kong cityscape. Indiana Jones and Cinderella inspired the track side details The first car you have access to is faster than Burnout 2вЂ™s speediest rides, and by the end of the game youвЂ™re driving Formula One-style racers.

And Burnout 3 was the fastest in the series so far. It was enough to make Ward, who co-runs Danger Zone developer Three Fields Entertainment, really want Burnout 3 to have an autobahn.Д«urnout has always been about speed, and your attention during a race is almost entirely fixed on the vanishing point so you can react to oncoming traffic and turns.

When they arrived at the terminal, the driver refused payment and wheel-span away. вЂњI said, вЂBut I need to get to the airport!вЂ™ And he said, вЂIf I drive really really fast, could you put your seatbelt on? This is going to be a hot diesel drive.вЂ™ He floored it.вЂќ Just after setting off, the driver took a call and learned his wife was in labour. How a woman going into labour inspired the trackДЄnd it was inspired by a taxi journey director of design Alex Ward took to MunichвЂ™s airport while promoting Burnout 2.

Released in 2004 for PlayStation 2, it was made at a time when just one person could build every aspect of a track, from the texture of the road surface to all the sights that zip past. It was created by just one artist, Chris Walley, at developer Criterion Games. ItвЂ™s a track of wild winter crags and old castles and also high-tech bridges and highway toll booths, and huge corners that beg to be drifted through. The wide autobahn sweeps through a valley and heads up into the mountains, past snowy firs and rocks and towards the peak and then it heads back down, under a towering viaduct, through a modern city and back again, ready for another lap.Д«urnout 3: TakedownвЂs Alpine track is a blistering trip through the Bavarian Alps, a thrilling ascent and descent along a road built for speed.
