Next Burnout download dated News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson

10 April, 2008

Criterion has announced the next download for Burnout Paradise will be released via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live on April 24th.

Titled "Bogart", it will offer a variety of "game experience enhancements" including increased online race timer timeout. Head-on takedowns have been fixed, and "unfair" low speed takedowns have been eradicated.

Plus all manner of bugs have been sorted out, many of which had affected online play. For a full rundown, visit Criterion's website.

There you'll also find a new podcast to download, in which the team talks about new plans for multi-part Freeburn Challenges.

This is a patch, right? Not DLC?

Please don't let this article turn into a 150-plus comments thread about the bloody retry option (or lack of one)...

Get over it, klugman!

I'm intrigued to know how they've 'fixed' head-on takedowns... what does happens now? Also, the removal of low-speed takedowns - again, what happens now? Do you just nudge the other car?

Playing this again last night with some of the EG massif,

What some of us could do with is an extra ten seconds to choose cars during race preparation.

For those races where it wasn't enforced Van Racing, anyway.

Time to pop that in, Alex?

Unless people are vocal about broken games or bad decisions then things won't get fixed. See Bad Company for the internet's voice doing it's thing.

NO RETY NO SALE
NO SPLITSCREEN NO SALE
NO CRASHZONES NO SALE.

Very simple, and will have no effect whatsoever on those who like it 'as it is' because they can still play it 'as it is'.

What about all the people who really like it 'as it is' but would never have actually played it 'as it is' if there was a retry option in there, because they're so used to START-RESTART being the way every other racing game makes you play?

@Ryze

The online games are organised through the Burnout Paradise Group, where you will find threads dedicated to the 360 or PS3 versions of the game.

AOFanboi,

I have the old games, and would very much like the new burnout but it's completely worthless unless you are a sad bastard with no friends. See, I like to play games WITH REAL PEOPLE, in THE SAME ROOM and not spend all night DRIVING BACK TO FUCKING START POINTS.

So, in summary, fuck you.
