"Sweet merciful-! Holy-!"

That's not a press release quote. That's me, while watching the utter destruction in the pre-alpha - yes, pre-alpha (that means very early) - demonstration trailer after the jump.

Burnout Paradise will be "an open world environment where you can do anything, anywhere, anytime" (that is a press release quote), but the core element of the game seems like it will remain just the same - crash.

It's destined for release in Winter this year.
