Burnout Paradise speedrun route visualizations
24Showing different Burnout License speedrun routes that have been established over the years next to each other. This shows the movement throughout the city on an event-by-event basis.
I had the idea for making this video when I re-organized the guides page of speedrun com and saw 3 different guides from 3 different eras of this speedrun next to each other. Having this visualization doesn't really achieve much of anything, but i think it's just fun to see how the routes move throughout the city, where they diverge and where they cross each other's paths again.
MissingYew's route from 2015 is what I found when I got into running this game in 2019. After some familiarizing with the category and my friend Trigger joining the scene, we did some brainstorming on cleaning up some inefficiencies of the route, mostly in the endgame, resulting in only minor tweaks on the first half of the run but a nearly entirely new Burnout license. After moving stuff around for a while, we settled on that route, and it pretty much stayed like this for a long time. Until Demolished came onto the scene in 2022 and brought in a ton of fresh ideas, which opened up a lot of doors in my thinking. Instead of trying to modify the existing route, I just ended up scrapping everything complete and building it new from scratch, several times. Demo brought in number of new events into the route we hadn't considered before, and really pushed the efficiency with which you can use stunt runs for routing. While previously stunt runs were largely just "drive to the beach or the bridge, get your points there, and move on", now stunts are used much more particularly, with very specific routes to get from point A to point B. I went through a couple weeks in late 2022 where my head was constantly swirling with Burnout License routing and I spent countless hours just thinking about how you could connect up things, until in late December I settled on that route. With how many options there are for chaining events together, there will always be room for improvement and I'm very curious to see what the future holds for this categories' route.
