Wow the party pack was really good. I wasn't expecting it to be that much fun. I just played a couple of rounds with my little sister, and we had a great time. Great work Criterion.
Also did anyone notice a slight graphical update? Colors seem to look better now. Is that just me or was it in the patch?

There aren't really any differences. But Criterion looooooove the PS3. I don't know what they hate about the 360 so much, but that version is more of an after thought to them. They hardly ever mention it on their podcasts / vidcasts. And they like to tell people to get it on PS3.
It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft did something to piss them off though. Microsoft have always been morons.

This is wrong. It's also in the easy drive menu, but you have the option of doing it in the 360 UI as well. Why you would bother is beyond me though, when you can just press right on the dpad.

Time to take another swig!

Download the PC demo, see what it looks like, then go out and buy the PS3 Ultimate Box.CoG said:
Some of these changes are fucking strange. On the PS3 you can't change your custom soundtrack when you freeburn anymore...
My selections in the Options menu aren't saved anymore either. They reset everytime I quit the game. Criterion should've tested this shit before releasing it.

Yes. The invite is also in the Easy Drive menu. But once you do hit send. The 360 UI pops in.Mar_ said:
To accept and to send invites, the 360 UI will always show up.
This isn't a knock on the 360 version (as that's what I bought first), and only have bought the PSN version recently. I still prefer the 360 controller over the PS3 one for this, but it does feel the integration on this PS3 version has been done better.

OMG restart makes it feel like a game.
don't know if that makes any sense, but it's gamey now.

I noticed this myself when I was doing a Party challenge with the Inferno Van. I drove off of one of the hangars in the airfield and floated through the grey fuselage with very little effort.
I don't usually use the Inferno Van so for all I know it could be really good for the fuselage challenges but it definitely made me do a double take.

Nah that's not true. Accepting invites may require opening the guide. I can't remember because I usually host but sending invites does not open the guide.

Sending doesn't. Accepting does.Felix Lighter said:

Still wrong.
Here's a quote from the instruction manual:
I think the confusion exists because a lot of the time it's easier to just go into the 360 UI and invite / accept. Because you get some feedback that what you did is actually working. Many times I'd send an invite via the easy drive menu and went back later only to notice the icon didn't appear next to their name. So I'd go into the 360 UI and send an invite and that always worked. Not that it didn't work in the easy drive menu. Just without any feedback you were never sure if anything happened or not.
Anyone down for a Burnout Live Party tonight? I'll have to do some HDD management to get this latest patch on (I only have 500Mb left ), but I'm down for playing with some of you in Freeburn (that's where we complete team challanges, right?)
I'll post in here once (and if) I get the party started. I was supposed to go skating tonight, we may decide to do something else. If not LETS GET THIS PAWTY STAWTED.

Yes, i'm loving the restart. No more long hikes up the beaten path. That long time until restart really made me dislike things, and maybe now I'll give stun runs a fair shake. The stunt events were ok at low license levels but they just became impossible the higher I got.

Pity that Burnout has yet to hit Steam. I was getting into the launch day excitement and hoping to dig into it over the weekend. Maybe they'll get things together for the DLC as that would be an equally fun time to start.
1. I already knew that, but that only helps a little. Even if I know I should turn within 5 seconds or so, I find it hard to actually see the turn sometimes. I don't have that problem in other racing games which blocks off other roads, adds giant arrows showing the turns (like the previous Burnout games did) and is a lot slower. I didn't know about 2., that might help a little more.Merino said:
Another problem is that the autogenerated path is sometimes absolutely wrong. There's been a few times it's been leading away from the next checkpoint, I've got no idea why but it's happened a few times.
3. You have no idea how much I look at the map.
I've started to actually check the full map quite often to figure out where to go. But I really hate doing that as it breaks up the gameplay badly. But on the other hand, I'm tired of taking turns which leads to nowhere.Jonnyboy117

That's ridiculous. The best way to support Criterion's free updates is to download them and play the game some more. Those updates are funded by ad revenue, which is based on the number of people playing the game.
The premium DLC will pay for itself. Or it won't. If you're not interested in local multiplayer (controller swapping) for this game, you shouldn't spend $10 on the Party Pack. No one should feel obligated to do so just because they appreciate the free updates.

How the hell do you do stunt runs? It's impossible now I have the Elite license...

You sound so mad. :lol
jett said:
I agree. I've played this game for over a year now. I've gotten to 100% twice and I paid full price for it at launch. It's great how Criterion have supported their product, its the reason I'm still playing it, but I have no use for the Party Pack at all. I'm no Trophy monger. I'll pick up the car pack though. I really want that Jansen 88 Special....
jett said:
That's how I feel, I'm not going to buy something I have no interest in just to support Criterion. If anything that plan will backfire and they'll realize they could've been charging for DLC all along. You guys can show your appreciation in other ways (by recommending the game to people etc) rather than pissing away ten bucks on something you'll never use.

Yay, they finally made Paradise a playable game. With how easily restart has been added it just makes them look dumb as hell for not doing it in the first place.
Played a lot tonight, had fun. I still hate the bikes though, and the soundtrack is worse than I remember. "Girlfriend" is actually a highlight.

Bought the PC version today. I now have 3 versions of the game.
Also, the Party Pack is fun for little kids as well because you don't have to try as hard to go. The events that I did with my 3y/o had boost on all the time so you only had to steer. much easier for him to do that.

Is there anyway to make the crashes always fast? I like them so much better that way then when they are slow and drawn out. I've looked for it in options but can't find anything. Really hoping I can change it. Fast crashes scare the shit out of me. Which is why they're so awesome in the first place.
