Burnout Paradise Official Thread

I need about 40 more smashes and 40 more billboards plus 12 more superjumps.

I haven't even been looking for them yet so I think that's pretty good going.

So far I've been trying to concentrate on getting all the burning routes done for the cars I own.

Is there a quick way of finding the locations for these. Or do you just stumble across them?

Anyone on ps3 up to complete some challenges now? (I notice the_dead_parrot and Apopcalyptic online atm).

You can find out the areas the ones you are missing are in just by hitting the back button.

rp2000, in Leaderboards -> Showtime

I can see World Rankings and then Filter by Friends list.

You will have to be more clear for me as I still can't see it.

I use L1/R1 to goto "Paradise City Online" screen. Then down to "Leaderboards".

Then Under "Leaderboard Category" I pick "Road-Rules - Showtime".

Now I can only flip "Leaderboard Category" and "Road". The bit that says "Display" is selected as "My Friends" and can't be highlighted to change

.

As seen here:

I cannot highlight the middle option to change "Display".

Can someone with ps3 or 360 check for me please?

Also that image implies that the 3 of us are top 3 in the world (even with a filter I would expect it to show our overall world rank and not our rank within friends.

I don't know why this is bugging me, but it is!

I'll be home in about 20mins to demolish your scores. Will check when I'm in but i'm sure I can change the filter.

Get whatever your friends have or whoever you want to play on here.

Its basically achievements against minor framerate issues.

EDIT: As Inoshishi says

RuMp3l4$k1n · 29 Jan 2008 at 17:05

rp2000 your scoreboards are displaying the same as mine are on 360 I cant select that part that says 'friends' either, I had assumed it was because I'm currently a silver member of live and my 48 hr codes only give me play time. Doesn't explain the PS3 version doing that though so now I'm also confused.

I know you say minor issues, but I haven't noticed ANY issues with the framerate on the 360 :confused:

OK, cheers for checking that out! The only thing I can think is the sheer amount of data they would have to have (having said that some other games offer loads of online stats).

Would have been nice to have the option to compare against the rest of the world (when i get bored whooping the people on my friends list

)

Wonderful game imo, really really grown on me.

They are there, but apparently only evident during certain parts of the game, as said very very minor and not worth worrying about.

I've noticed the odd split second freeze very rarely, no actual drops in framerate though. Not that I've noticed.

I had a game with a Nokkon and a few others yesterday, we was doing some challenges like 'jump over a bridge backwards' we all did it except nokkon, who was just driving round the city crashing a lot so the host was getting rather annoyed with him. Later on i got a message saying 'just to let you know it was my dad playing earlier'

Whatever you say Nokkon aka Noob

drunken fool · 29 Jan 2008 at 18:04

will be up for a few 360 online games, it looks like it could be good fun!

Invite me using GT below if anyone is playing

Inoshishi · 29 Jan 2008 at 18:04
