Posted January 6, 2009 lol yeah i was there. Well funny. I never had the fun of having a PS eye but was laughing at everyones snap shots. Striders angry face comes to mind when i think of it! I just love the idea of smashing someone into a wall and then flicking them off. We should see if we can get an 8 player game going. (I'll admit, partly because I really want to get the 8-players in the Wild Cat stadium trophy ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 6, 2009 Anyone up for this today? Maybe at say 8:30pm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2009 Saw this in GAME's 2 for £30 offer on PS3, was so tempted but the only sort of good game to pair it with was Battlefield Bad Company, and I'm really passable on that. Will definitely get this eventually, may wait to see what price the 'ultimate box' thingy is going to be though. Still got Bioshock to start anyway... one more trophey left in Fallout, arg.

Posted January 7, 2009 Bought this today for the PS3. Haven't had a chance to play it yet though. It's updating and taking ages. Got three updates to go through and don't think that the wireless connection is working very well on the PS3 although it seems fine for this laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2009 Ok, a quick question. Where is the DLC for the PS3 version of this? I've been on the PSN store and there's nothing there and I searched for ages. Is it available at all for the PS3 or just on the 360? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it available at all for the PS3 or just on the 360? You downloaded them all already. They were the updates you downloaded a few days ago (Sony don't have a size limit on patches, Microsoft do). The rest of it (Legendary/Toy/Special Boost Cars and Big Surf Island) isn't out for a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2009 oh ok. HAven't seen any of it yet. Was there cars in the updates that you have to unlock? I know I got two bikes randomly so that must have been it. Thought there would have been more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2009 oh ok. HAven't seen any of it yet. Was there cars in the updates that you have to unlock? I know I got two bikes randomly so that must have been it. Thought there would have been more than that. The main updates are: - Cagney. Apart from bug fixes, this doesn't really do anything offline. You will have two cars that are only available while playing online, as well as the online game modes and timed challenges. - Davis. The bikes. You'll be given two bikes to start with and playing on those will unlock two more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2009 Ah right thnx. Still getting to grips with the PS3 and it's updates/store. There was no instructions with the console so I'm learning as I go along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2009 I should get back to this game. I have particularly fond memories of cranking the fuck out of The Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole while busting down the mountains on the fastest bike in the game. Easily one of the most exciting, euphoric gaming experiences I've ever had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 24, 2009 from the criterion games blog: Everything you need to know about our FREE 6th Feb update Here are the full details of the FREE pack we're releasing on 6th Feb. Look out for this week's Crash TV. The team are on hand to talk through all these changes. The release of this free pack co-incides with the release of our first paid-for pack (Burnout Paradise Party Pack), which will also be available on the 6th from our sparkling new in-game store. But, if you’re not ready to splash the cash just yet, here’s the definitive list of everything that’s just been added to the game for FREE. We can’t resist improving Burnout Paradise. In-Game Browser Site (PC and PS3-only) The first change PS3 and PC-players will notice is that we're now using an in-game browser to bring you something we're calling the Criterion Games Network. More on this next week! (Players on all platforms can enjoy the rest of the features listed on this page.) In-Game Store The next major addition is our in-game store. You'll be able to easily buy new content, like the Party Pack, without leaving the comfort of Burnout Paradise. Just head for either the Main Menu or the Easydrive Menu. We'll add the Legendary Cars, Boost Specials, Toy Cars, Island and more (!), as they become available. Vehicle dynamics overhaul The vehicle handling has undergone it's most substantial overhaul since Burnout Paradise was first released. We’ve tweaked the handling on the first available cars, like the Hunter Cavalry, to make the game easier and more accessible. These cars are now slower, harder to crash and less likely to spin out at low speeds. This’ll help any newcomers get into the game, but it also delivers greater variety between the early cars to the faster, more challenging later ones. Burnout Paradise – easy to play but hard to master! We’ve changed the way we display the performance of the cars in the junkyard. You can now easily compare cars and see that with the rebalanced handling, they’re more varied across the whole range. Again, we’re aiming for a more fun and accessible experience. And on the subject of the junkyard, you can now filter what you see there. Pick between cars or bikes and when our Legendary Cars, Toy Cars and Boost Specials arrive in the near future they’ll also be easier to pick out. Stunt Run Timer Reinvented Fans of Stunt Run will now appreciate that the countdown timer now starts to count down more slowly. If you’ve never played before, it’ll be easier to pick up. For experts, it’ll counts down faster depending on how many multipliers you’ve earned. It’s just one of a stack of minor changes designed to rebalance and tweak the game for your enjoyment. Rebalanced Events We’ve modified the difficulty of all events. The speeds of the rival cars and Burning Route times have been changed to accommodate new car speeds. Road Rage Tweaked We’ve changed the way the timer works in Road Rage– you no longer get time added when you’ve hit the target number of cars. This means the game has a clearer end point and restricts crazy scores to later Road Rages, making it more challenging for experts – see if you can reach 100+ now! It’s been streamlined. Vibrant Visuals Paradise City is filled with a whole world of objects waiting to be discovered. We wanted to make it a little easier to spot them, so we’ve modified the colours of the Billboards (red) and Smashes (yellow) and Super Jumps (blue). They also now pulse for added visibility. We’ve also overhauled the lighting to bring you more vibrant visuals. We wanted to make it easier to see at night and give everything a more vibrant feel with brighter, more saturated Burnout color. Restart is in You ask – we deliver. Restart is in! You can now quit or fail an event and choose to restart it. You’ll be transferred to the start location ready for action. We’ve always enjoyed the feeling of freedom that Paradise City’s open world delivers, but we appreciate that as you run low on events towards the end of the game, you can spend a little too long in transit. Barrel Rolls for Beginners And last but not least, we’ve transformed the way barrel rolls work in Burnout Paradise. Hit a split-ramp and barrel rolls now automatically right themselves. It means new players can pull off flash moves immediately, but nothing changes for all you experts out there. You can still risk multiple rolls by pushing the right stick in the direction of the roll. That's all folks To get this FREE update, just play take Burnout Paradise online anytime on or after 6th February. This update does not include the Party Pack, which is our first ever paid-for content - a premium pack that turns Burnout Paradise into a fun party game for when you've got your friends round and you all want to play on the same TV. Party will also be available on 5th February. Click through for more details on Party and Ultimate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
