Burnout "Cagney" update delayed on 360
Cagney and Latey. PS3 unaffected.
Criterion has pushed the Xbox 360 "Cagney" update for Burnout Paradise back by four days.
It appears there may have been a hold-up in authentication, with the only explanation on the developer blog claiming Microsoft has it and will release it on 14th July.
The PlayStation 3 version is therefore unaffected and will go live next Thursday as expected. However, no Game Calendar events will happen until "Cagney" is live on both formats. Details of the first calendar events are expected next week.
"Cagney" will be the third significant update to Burnout Paradise so far. Inside it are three extra modes: Road Rage, where four of you race through checkpoints while four others try to stop you; Stunt Run, where you do tricks at the same time to rack up points; and Marked Man, where you all gang up on one person to take them down before they can complete the course.
On top of this are 70 new FreeBurn challenges to get stuck into, a Hunter Olympus and secret Criterion car, fresh liveries, custom soundtrack support on PS3, and a host of bug-fixes asked for by you lot.
Criterion has additional updates "Davis" (with motorbikes and a day-night cycle) and "Eastwood" (with a new island) planned for August and autumn, respectively.
Head over to our Burnout Paradise gamepage for our review and all the pictures and videos to date.

It's a popular game, that I'm a bit sick of, I admit. Lots of people still enjoy it, and have been waiting for this update for a while now, it's perfectly bloody reasonable to have a news story telling us that the update has been delayed!

Awesome Marked Man online (why the hell was this not in at day one!!!) will hopefully make people start playing Burnout on my F list...at least i'd like to think that but it's going to be the trophy patch that will make them play on it again. >

(I jest... everyone has different tastes but I find rock music mostly offensive to my ears and much prefer to drive to something techno, trancey or ambient, it suits racing games better IMO)

Because Criterion don't like the Xbox 360 by... oooooooooooooooooooo... this much!
How much is that, you ask? Well, it's about four days!

The Bogart release coming out borked means Microsoft went over this with a fine tooth comb, I reckon, and found some Criterion screwup. The contempt this "multi-platform" dev house has for their best-selling platform is beyond belief.

I've never seen a dev shop so anti-360, the only thing I think it might be is Microsoft have a really strict requirements checklist and Sony just don't give a shit these days, which must suit a bunch of guys like Criterion and their wacky ideas really well - Burnout Paradise PC for example, which is getting a lot of expensive dev love with new shadow mapping and multi monitor support, despite the chances of PC users with the required kit bothering to pirate let alone buy a year-old console racing game that had mixed reviews (although I love it, natch) are about zero.

And yes, the motorbike DLC will require payment.

No surprise, and this game is hardly unmissable in it's current, unfinished state.
It's a wonderful engine, however, so it's nice that they're getting round to finishing the game.
Waiting for:
- Midnight club style overhead arrow or rotating minimap
- right-stick camera x-axis invert option
- ability to jump to previously visited locations or restart races
- online roadrage (every man for themselves)
I have the game sat here, being played once every month on average. I'll carry on playing more heavily once they've fixed the top 2-3 issues.

^ er, they're not gonna all be free. these early ones are cos they're just balancing/bugfixes, with maybe a few extra online modes + stuff. but the one with the motorbikes + the day/night cycle definitely ain't gonna be free.

I'm waiting for the patch where they add some colour to the game.
Er... there's loads of colour - LOOK! Blue skies!
