More Burnout Paradise DLC unveiled News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

17 November, 2008

Criterion has lifted the lid on yet more downloadable content for smashing racer Burnout Paradise.

This time we're told about the Toy Cars Pack, which will arrive in 2009 and introduce slightly squashed-looking race cars, monster trucks and comedy cruisers.

Unfortunately little else is known about the content; how much it will cost, for example, and if the five cars in the sole screenshot released make up the entire collection offering.

The Burnout Toy Cars Pack follows a stream of DLC announcements made by developer Criterion. The most recent of these was a Legendary Cars Pack that includes car that can retract the wheels and hover through the air at head height, apparently.

Preceding that was news of a special edition version of the racing game that will include the Cagney and Bikes update, plus a new pass-the-pad-style offline multiplayer mode.

And Criterion isn't finished there; more DLC announcements are expected at the end of this week. Keep those eyes peeled.

"and if the five cars in the sole screenshot released make up the entire collection offering."

From the Criterion Games website talking about this pack...

"Regular Burnout fans will recognise 5 Paradise City classics – the Carson GT Concept P12, the Kreiger Racing WTR, the Hunter Takedown 4x4 and the Hunter Manhatten, but there are 9 awesome vehicles in this range."

and to make that clearer I've emboldened the bit where they mention how many cars are in the entire collection...

read then post.... read then post...

Awesome news. Am so glad I bit the bullet and bought this, despite my reservations over the lack of insta-restarts.

Great news - Criterion and EA deserve so much respect for their continued support with this game. Having just got a PS3 I will be buying the uber-version when its released, is it early next year?

They need to let this crap game die and work on a proper Burnout sequel. This is getting ridiculous...

@FiZiE Elaborate please.What is wrong with this game, and the continued support (free at that) is awesome.

i wanted to like Burnout Paradise but the high speed racing DOES NOT mesh well with the large open world. You'll look away for a second to look at the map and crash. That's fine every now and then, but it happens all the time. And you cannot restart a failed race. You have to drive back to the start! Ugh. Toy cars and fog effects arent gonna fix the game.

I played this game immensly when it was first released, but that has all but died out now.
I was hoping the last couple of DLC would reignite my passion for the game, but I all became stale again very very quicly.
As much a sI'd like for this game to capture that 'new and exciting' feel again, I guess the DLC will no longer be able to do that for me.
