so, pc owners... is there a way to add a player you haven't played to your friends list?
i can't see anything in game, and i can't see anything on ea.com either.
if i want to play with some of your guys or some of my real life friends, how exactly do i find them?

They said "never" (take that how you will in the light of recent updates...) because it would have such an impact on the physics model for the cars it would essentially mean reprogramming them from scratch.Oni Jazar said:So when are they going to add rain to this game? That'd be sweet.

I totally forgot to download the patch last night.... Can not wait to give the patch a run through on both the PS3 and 360. Impressions of the patch sound very positive... so glad they turned Burnout Paradise into more of a platform.... keep the content coming!
Everybody should pay for the party pack or at least one of the future DLC incoming to show support to their approach to DLC.
They have show that other uses of the "evil" DLC can be done, and support can be given to consumers, now give them back your support if you want other games to follow this pattern!

not an idiot
that really sucks for me. i pretty much only play online and switch soundtracks all the time. are you telling me i have to leave my online game to switch and then get in another online game now? wtf... that sucks ass. why on earth would they take functionality OUT of the game? it doesn't make sense. ughcrispyben said:

probably because they are using the hard drive to cache the game for the retry option?

I'm for sure going to buy the island, and maybe a car pack or the Cops and Robbers. But I'm not pulling out Burnout when I need a party game; I'm buying something with multiple simultaneous players on the same screen, like Mario Kart or something. It's not a knock against Burnout; I love the game for what it is.itxaka said:

See the "or one of the future DLC"
Mediocre or not, they are a developer that is using DLC in order to benefit customers and support the players requesst instead of chugging out DLC the first week with 5 maps or difficulty settings.
That should be supported by everyone that wants DLC to be a good thing to gamers instead of a easy way to get money out of them.
BeeDog said:
I don't agree that is mediocre. I do agree however that its at a higher price point that I would've like.
BUT, considering all the updates/packs that Criterion has provided us over the year. (Think about it, the bike pack itself could be milked to insanity) I consider it a fair amount.
I got the 360 patch last night. You have to download the 1.6 patch from marketplace though(it runs about 900 megs).
Neat additions though, nighttime is a lot more manageable. How exactly is the PS3 version superior though? The game runs superlatively on the 360.

Regarding load time, I think it might be cause of DLC.

I don't quite agree that other developers will follow this pattern just because we "give back" to Criterion. If anything, it will only give the dense-headed corporates a message that any DLC sells.
The way to support Criterion and demonstrate to other developers the merit of Criterion's practice is to show that this type of game has legs (i.e. buy the game). I myself already bought the game 3 times because of the interesting free DLCs.

You and I think a lot alike. This is the one thing that bugged me too. I just want to get in the game. Not sift through 3 screens of confirmations. On the upside it does mask the loading.jett said:
Both are the same, you won't lose. The one benefit for the PS3 is that it seems to get all the updates first. And there's a PSN version.toneroni said:
The differences are so minimal it really isn't worth arguing over.Brandon F said:

There are very very minimal differences, like a friends invite on the PS3 is just the subtle EasyDrive icon on the left bottom screen, whereas it's an actual 360 UI interface.
It's slightly more streamlined.
PS3 also benefits with the use of USB camera.
But really, you can't lose either way.

Criterion mentioned on the patch notes that they purposefully adjusted most or all the vehicles. Making lower tier cars/bikes slower in return for making them more durable against traffic and having improved handling. The idea is to give newcomers an easier go at the early game.

The one thing I love about the PS3 version is that you can transfer your save to a USB stick, then upload it to Criterion's site to discover the locations of places of smashes, billboards, and jumps you need to clear. And of course you can print them out. Take that GameFAQs!

I think they said that the made one of the bikes slower so it's a little more "accessible"? Don't quote me on that though.
Also, I was under the impression that the Legendary Cars pack came out this week, and it's very apparent that I'm wrong. Does anyone know when the Legendary Cars come out?

You can use a lot of standard USB PC webcams rather than having to buy the PS Eye. You can't do that on the 360.
Philanthropist said:
Also the benefit of the PS3 is that I can use my 360 Vision camera on it.
I already got my 100%/Platinum so I don't have much to do in the game anymore, but I patched it yesterday just to give it a go. Not a fan of the extra load screens and having to pick right at the onset of gameplay whether I want Cars or Bikes. I like the new lighting and colors, really make the game pop more. Still smooth as heck, just like I remember it. New billboards are annoyingly bright, but no big deal, they should be easier to spot for those going for all them.
The physics seem a little refined as well. I always use the Jansen P12 and it felt like they dialed out more understeer and its much easier to initiate a drift in it (not like it was hard to do in it's original tuning).
Not really interested in the Party Pack, maybe I'll pick it up if they bundle the car pack with it...
Can't believe its been a year since I picked this up. Bring on the Island!

Any standard USB camera will do on the PS3 (including the 360 Vision Cam).Philanthropist said:
