Burnout Paradise MORE DLC!!!!

Some info about the upcoming updates (lol)
from the PS blog http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/11/07/criterion-announces-burnout-paradise-legendary-cars/

Hey folks … great to be back on the only blog that counts (apart from the one you’ll find at www.criteriongames.com, of course).

We’re continuing to support Burnout Paradise through 2009. The fun starts with our Burnout Paradise Party Pack in Feb and will be followed by our awesome Burnout Paradise Legendary Cars Pack.

This year, we’ve introduced some of the most incredible vehicles yet seen in a Burnout game. Our FREE Cagney pack brought you the crazy Steel Oval Racer and the Hippie Wagon, and the FREE Bikes Pack introduced motorcycles to Paradise City for the first time ever.

In 2009, we’re taking Burnout vehicles to the next level with some truly unbelievable new vehicles. First up – The Jansen 88 Special.

This classic 1980’s styled silver sports car is based on the fan-favourite Jansen P12, but we’ve made a few interesting modifications.


Fill the gauge and hit boost to trigger burning flame trails from your back wheels. The 88 Special’s fast, manoeuvrable and great in the air.

In fact, if you want to take off, this is just the car for you. Hit L3 to switch to hover mode – the wheels retract and the car takes off and hovers through Paradise City at head height.

Seriously. It hovers.


This is the first of 4 cars that we’re making available as part of a wealth of new downloadable content for Burnout Paradise. They’re available to buy individually or discounted, if you pick up the whole set. In addition to the Jansen 88 Special, look out for the Cavalry Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and the GT Nighthawk!

We’ll bring you details and footage of these in a future post or on Crash TV (our video podcast), and we’ll be back next week with another killer announcement for next year’s awesome Burnout Paradise content.
 
yawn, all good and well but give us another Burnout game, adding DLC is all funky and fun for the year after launch of the game but really we need a new Burnout now for 2009
 
Would be nice if they could fix the core game and add race restarting and waypoints on the map.

LOL, it's not broken. The game is like that by design. The map etc is fine after a couple of hours play tbh. If you really wish to restart an event, quickest way is to stop your car for a few seconds, current event ends and then drive back. It would be a rubbish sandbox game if you could just "morph/transport" to every single mission point (kind of like the rubbish Taxi system in GTA4).

btw, this thread is useless without pictures.

Yes it is broken, being able to restart events is a very basic game option that every other game manages to get right. It becomes a pain having to drive back to the start line every time you fail an event. Why would it be a rubbish sandbox game if it had some sort of quick travel option?

Well GTAIV (for example) was ruined by the quick travel imo. Either way the game IS NOT broken. It is designed that way. You may not like the events, but broken is different, is what I meant.

Either way no probs. This game has the best DLC/patches of any game so far imo (and FREE!!) so if it was genuinely broken and hated by soo many people, they would fix it.

^^LOL^^, what is the point of that back to the future car, lol
I cannot answer without using cheesy lines from the trilogy :)
