Electronic Arts (EA) acquired Criterion Games as well as the rights to the Burnout series and RenderWare for an estimated US$48 million that year. In 2004, Acclaim filed for bankruptcy and sold off its existing properties to other publishers. At this point in the series, the games were focused on driving on rural and country roads, and while the crashing mechanics were part of the game, these were not emphasized as gameplay elements but simply the undesirable, though often spectacular, result of a collision. Besides races, Burnout 2 introduced the series' signature "Crash mode", in which players would drive a car into a tableau of other cars and objects to try to do as much damage as possible.
Burnout was successful enough for a sequel Burnout 2: Point of Impact, released by Acclaim in 2002. Burnout was aimed to be an arcade-style racer, placing fun over realism as series like Gran Turismo offered. As a follow-up title, Sperry's team, now with Alex Ward on board, developed a racing game that showed off the capabilities of the newest iteration of RenderWare, named Burnout, also published by Acclaim in 2001. Their first game was a fast-paced skateboarding game, TrickStyle, published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Dreamcast and released in 1999. established in 1999 to showcase the type of games that its RenderWare game engine was capable of, with Fiona Sperry in charge.
Other comments: If you boot into the game after already having played another game (in my case, DRIV3R), the missing sky box will be filled with garbage data, possibly from the previous game.
PC specifications: CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 4.10GHz GPU: Sapphire HD 7950 w/Boost 3GB OS: Windows 8.1 Pro Last known version to work: Unknown, probably never worked. How to replicate: Boot the game and play it. The issue is fixed if you boot into the game with a software renderer.
Switching to software mode won't fix the problem. Description: The game's sky box appears black. Used both native and upscaled resolutions. Plugin settings: Tested GSdx D3D9, D3D11 and OGL, both hardware and software renderers. Plugins used: GSdx32-AVX2, SPU2-X, LilyPad, cdvdGigaherz, the rest of the plugins were null.
