Probably cheaper to buy the blu-ray, you can always sell it on then too.

I had no idea what I was doing to beat it - I take it you just have to speed down a street and get to the end of it faster than someone else. But does it have to be done without crashing and can you use short cuts or go off the road (as in use the 'sidewalk')?

Are the 2 locked bikes better than the available ones ? On a few streets I hit them at full speed coming from another street - went the full length of them and was still about 3 seconds slower than the record. That was even with me pressing forwards on the stick to lean into the bike to go that 'ickle bit faster

It certainly is but I still think it will sell very well for $30 and its a clear message to GAME and co with regard to 2nd hand games etc.

Yes you have to go down the street faster than the time that your friend has set and yes any part of the street it viable, if you crash then you probably wont beat the time because the clock is still ticking and your losing valuable seconds. It all about getting momentum before you get to the street that you want to break.

The bike that you get once you get 100% on your licence is the best one, its the fastest one and you can also change the skin for different countries. I have this bike and I'm currently using the Spain skin.

The animation of the drivers is very cool.

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

I might get Burnout Paradise again, looking at the trophy list reminds me of the fun I had just driving around. Just those bloody cars seeming to purposefully cut me up

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

...Just those bloody cars seeming to purposefully cut me up

Isnt that the idea of it! It isnt "International Driving Miss Daisy Simulator 2008" (which by the way, is a cracking title)

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

I've done everything on that list already, pay day tomorrow.

No Platinum trophy?

I mean the pedestrian cars. I'm all for the CPU cars to try and cut me up, but just driving down the road and a pedestrian car suddenly swerves into your lane for no apparant reason, that pissed me off no end

Yea there is - thought it was common knowledge that Plats are for getting all other trophies. Anyway, yes, Platinum available!

Nobody is sure if its retroactive yet, so you may end up with a nice platinum on thursday!

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

Ah OK, that's my first then.

 

[Tim7]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

What are these trophies about then?

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

PS3 achievements.

 

[Tim7]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

Ah, thanks .

 

[Radiation]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

I hope to god those trophies are retroactive because there's no way I would want to start it all over again.

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

The said a while ago that they will be retroactive.

 

[Radiation]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

They said the same about Warhawk and most of the bloody trophies didn't click when i booted the game up. All of the 'kill someone in a tank with a hawk' or 'get 100 kills' --- despite me having the in game trophy the PSN trophy just did not unlock. The only retroactive one i think was the clan member trophy and even then i had to go into my clan and enter and check the messages to get it.

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

I'm sure they will be.

The trophy list isn't as hard as it could have been, where is the award for x40 Stunt Run, it took me ages to get that!

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

Burnout Paradise saves are locked to your profile. We had hoped to use this to retroactively award trophies, but we discovered during testing that this is not possible. You will therefore require a fresh game-save to receive trophies in Burnout Paradise. If you're familiar with PS3 trophies already, you'll recognise that this works in the same way as all other games that have added trophy support post-release.

Ouch...

Cannot see many people like you bothering to start again, but I didnt get very far into it, so looking forward to it myself!

 

[tobi]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

I probably will go for them because I always play the game.

On second thought I'm not going to do it, my records are more important to me.

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

DL'd this the other day, quality game, and the fact that it's on my HD is even better.

Earnt about 21% of the trophys so far. My problem is that there are too many good games out at the moment and it's getting left behind a bit.

Quick Q, is there anyway of restarting a race/event?

Or do you have to drive all the way back?

 

[Tim7]

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

I hope you mean that you have downloaded the DLC and not the entire game .

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

No restart feature, you gotta go the whole way back, it's down to the fact Criterion didnt want any load screens as soon as you got into a motor and started to drive round Paradise.

I hope you mean that you have downloaded the DLC and not the entire game .

The entire game is available to DL from the PSN. 30 dollars or 25 quid in the respective stores.

The whole game, why?

No restart feature, you gotta go the whole way back, it's down to the fact Criterion didnt want any load screens as soon as you got into a motor and started to drive round Paradise.

Thanks Holio, that sucks a bit but I can see why they did that now.

Got my class B yesterday!

26 wins till my class a tho

Barack Obama Campaigns on Burnout Paradise

Don't look to video game Burnout Paradise for escapism from real life politics. Democratic candidate Barack Obama has in-game campaign billboard with a "Paid for Obama for President" tag on it. EA has confirmed that the advert was paid for by Obama:

Like most television, radio and print outlets, we accept advertising from credible political candidates. Like political spots on the television networks, these ads do not reflect the political policies of EA or the opinions of its development teams.

Re: Burnout Paradise - PS3, 360

We're finally ready to unveil the first in a wide range of new Burnout Paradise content for 2009.

Our first pack of the year will be called Burnout™ Paradise Party.

Burnout Paradise is an awesome social game, but the action's all online. With Party, we wanted to create something for when all the players are in one place – gathered around a single screen.

Fans of the classic Crash Mode from Burnout 2: Point of Impact will know that this is not the first time we've done something like this. And we hope the response to Party is as warm as it was for Crash mode.

So, if you like to get together and play games, it's time to break out the drinks, party hats and balloons!

This year, we've transformed Burnout through downloadable content. We've already released our codenamed Cagney and Bikes packs, loaded with amazing new gameplay and for the first time ever: motorcycles! We've also just announced our awesome Party Pack. You can read about it today on this very blog.

These innovations are all available to existing Burnout Paradise players. (Cagney and Bikes are FREE right now! Party will be available in Feb '09.)

But, if you haven't got Burnout Paradise or you're not an online-connected player, we wanted to give you the chance to join in the fun!

So, today we're announcing Burnout™ Paradise: The Ultimate Box – a new packaged game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and for the first time ever – on the PC! That's right, PC players will finally be able to experience a Burnout game, and we've been working hard to make sure it's something very special indeed.

The Ultimate Box will be available in Feb 2009 and will contain the original Burnout Paradise, including Codenamed Cagney and Burnout Bikes, and also Burnout Paradise Party plus a mountain of new refinements.

Amidst all the excitement of today's Party Pack and Ultimate Box announcements (check them out here on the blog), we almost overlooked the fact that we're giving you lots more information on the PC game, so here 's a quick post for PC fans looking forward to a little Burnout action.

We can finally announce that the game will be made available at the same time as the console versions of Burnout™ Paradise The Ultimate Box in Feb 2009. It will feature all the same content - that means a radically enhanced Burnout Paradise plus Cagney, Bikes and Party packs.

If you've missed our previous posts, head over to the PC home page for an up-to-date summary of everything we've announced so far.

We're working hard to get closer to our fans this year.

We've already invited many to join us here at CriterionGames for a tour of the studio and a chance to meet the Burnout team. We introduced a blog and an in-game news service, so we could deliver all the latest Burnout news direct to the people that matter most, and we're bringing you all the latest information on what we're building and why, as we go about bringing Burnout Paradise the greatest online support for a game ever.

Now, we're making use of Sony's incredible in-game PlayStation 3 browser to go a step beyond.

We're taking the existing Burnout Live News Page and revolutionising it using the PlayStation browser to bring you a massively upgraded news service, enhanced social play and much, much more – the result is something we're calling the Burnout Paradise Network.
