Daft Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 You should wait until the Hunter Olympus when the next update comes out. Apparently it isn't very strong and it has no boost at all. I think the Hunter 4x4 will remain bully of the road. I don't get why it won't have boost. That's useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 That makes no sense whatsoever...there's only two patches (so far) on PS3 version of Paradise (and one on 360). There is definitly 3 for the PS3 version... I've had to do 3... Tbh Im lost on this title at the moment. I'm so overwhelmed by what there is to do that I feel like the "jump in and race" element has been lost. I'm sure it will click. I did a "Nelson?" Junction online score today and a certain FLAMEBOY NE had the top score! Nice one. I then played online drove around aimlessly and got booted. I just don't understand the online aspects at all. I feel totally alienated by the sheer amount of content!! Oh yeah I've got good scores on a few of them! Will have to race you online sometime yeah online can be a bit confusing if you've not got voice chat on so don't know whether people are racing or just mucking about. DAFT Yeah, I don't really get the online. It's a bit weird. I remember driving around with Flameboy. That was a load of fun but for the first 20 minutes I had no idea what to do. Yeah that was when we were both new to it and you were hosting and didn't know how to start a race. I still need to play some more of this, I have put in a good few hours, but still need to get the top license. Damn the time consuming GTA IV!

S.C.G Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Played this for another hour today... and thats all it will be! hour long sessions... no more >> definitely not getting addicted to Burnout again... << but it's so fun... *slaps self* Nope, no more Burnout for me tonight. (I got really addicted to Revenge a while back and I'm determined the same isn't gonna happen again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't got boost because it's the strongest car in the game. It also has the highest top speed (but a very low acceleration). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have problems finsihing stunt runs. I need help I did mainly flatspins (easier to land than barrel rolls) and found a route with lots of super jumps. And just tap A every now and then to keep the combo.

Cube Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Just wondering, what's your PSNs flameboy and Choze? Edit: Nevermind. Found them in another thread. It's fun spying on people's stats. Anyway, some Burnout Paradise PC info. There will be a massive amount of controller options (last week the team used the Guitar Hero controller to play the game). Dead zones and sensitivity for steering wheels will be configurable, and you'll be able to do stuff like use a 360 pad in conjunction with starting wheel pedals. There will be a lot of default options, so most stuff should work by just plugging it in. There's also quite a few visual options: And this shows the higher detail on the roads, plus the soft shadows: Oh, and the Cagney patch will be around 400MB.
