Burnout "Cagney" update delayed on 360 News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
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.

Oh my God, some people just complain for the sake of it! Why the hell is this a pointless article?
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! |

No that's in a not too far after Cganey update.
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 think EG brought up this news just because they were very proud of that "Cagney and Latey" line. Which is fine.

Garulon: it's weird isn't it? They seemed to talk the 360 version down a lot during development, then when it came out both versions were identical. Listening to the Criterion podcasts they're clearly PS fanboys too. Maybe Microsoft did them a terrible wrong in a former life.

Yes, a four-day delay on some free DLC for a six month old game could prove decisive in the console war.

"They seemed to talk the 360 version down a lot during development, then when it came out both versions were identical. "
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. |

Mixed reviews? It didn't get mixed reviews, it just had a lot of FUD from all the retards complaining about lack of restart, splitscreen and crash junctions!

As I was counting down the days to get some new BOP love on my 360 - I am dissapointed, therefore this IS a worthy story. Unlike the 3 or 4 "news" stories off the back of the LBP interview.
BTW - 360lol!!!11!! (I've not said that before) |

This one is, but I have a sneaking suspicion the next one (with teh m0t0r81k35) won't be. |

Yeah, they've got to monetise it somehow. It'll be nearly a whole extra year of dev work by the time that comes out, which they could have been putting into Burnout 7 (think we're upto 7 now, right?)

wait, maybe it's because there are none left on Eurogamer.
Steady on, you're still here! And yes, the motorbike DLC will require payment. |

Ha ha, too right. It would be yet another example of how shit the PS3 is. |

Why are people complaining? i don't see people complaining about regular news updates. I mean this is a video gaming site which provides people with information about games which they like or otherwise. If you do not like the regular updates put up or put out! This is eurgamer.nets job and they are doing O.K. by me.

PS3 is the lead platform, and Sony are keeping Criterion sweet. Criterion also seem to prefer Sony and the Playstation.
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. |

It's pretty coolthat these DLC updates are all free though right? I mean most devs would make you pay for adding things like motorbikes or other new things that weren't even part of the game when it was released! Pretty cool, and definitely the first time I have seen a game getting so much continuing support after release.

^^ Yeah, clearly AJUK didn't read the other comments before posting :)
I'm waiting for the patch where they add some colour to the game. Er... there's loads of colour - LOOK! Blue skies! |
