Burnout 3: Takedown PC Port (PS2, Alpha)

This is an unofficial port of Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2) as a native Windows program: the game's program is translated to C++ and compiled for PC, with no emulation. It offers 60 frames per second or your screen's own rate, up to 4x the PS2's resolution, widescreen with the HUD kept in place, PC settings in the game's own menu, a mouse in the menus and controllers with rumble and DualSense adaptive triggers.

According to the README it includes the whole game (menus, races, Crash mode, the career, saves, sound and music) and a Vulkan GPU renderer. It is not an emulator and it does not include any game assets: you must provide the data from your own copy. It is not affiliated with EA or Criterion.

• 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
• A graphics driver with Vulkan 1.3.
• If your processor lacks AVX2 (Intel Pentium and Celeron before 2021), the program uses its own build (burnout3-sse4.exe), started automatically.

1. Download Burnout3-PC-<version>-windows-x64.zip from the releases page (the "Go to the official project" button).
2. Extract it into a writable folder and run burnout3.exe.
3. Pick your disc image; nothing else needs to be installed.

• It is an alpha (0.7.0): problems should be reported with the burnout3.log file.
• Only a Windows build exists and the NTSC-U edition is supported.
• The repository does not specify a license.

If your computer does not meet the requirements, you do not have the exact version the port asks for, or you prefer the classic route, you can play the original with a PlayStation 2 emulator: PCSX2 and its install and setup guide.
