Didn't it used to save your setting w/ regards to custom soundtracks vs original? It seems to be resetting it to original every time I restart now

When they introduced the Day - Night cycle into the game I played it at night once then set it at constant midday (couldn't turn off the fog/mist though )
But playing it now since 1.6 and I need to drive at night with the Bikes and it's amazing, so much better, maybe I actually prefer the night driving (fewer cars unless that's just a bike thing, and nice blur in your headlights)

:lol I repurchased it due to wanting to giving it more of a chance after being very disappointed with the direction of the game near launch. (I really don't care for driving to challenges and races and would prefer optional direct access to them via a list and I fucking despise the cutaway scenes for every takedown and their coupled auto-drive during them which tends to save you from wrecks that should happen. That last element really destroys the uninterrupted tension and contiguous feeling of chaos during a race that Burnout 1 & 2 nailed.) Still, the game is impressively added to, in terms of value, but my fundamental issues remain. As someone who considers Burnout 2 to be the pinnacle of the series for overall feel, BP is still a great game...just not the Burnout I want and crave.C4Lukins said:

How is restrt formed? How caer get reeset? :lolBlindMonkey said:How are you still alive?
With all these people still asking how you restart, I'd have expected Liver failure for sure,
I'm reserving restarts for burning routes until I get the last ten events on my elite license.

This is technically a fix for Burnout Legends, and something that still crept into Revenge: When you do take someone out, your car was uncontrolled for the 2-3 seconds, and more often or not, you would crash because of traffic or walls, in which you could have avoided if you have complete control over the car.MightyHedgehog said:
Yeah, this auto-correction in paradise is too heavy handed. But still better than the other option,
Oh hey there buddy.toneroni said:
Both versions are nearly identical performance wise with the slight advantage going to the PS3, also PS3 tends to get more little additions and such with updates. PSN version is arguably the best though because Burnout is the perfect game to have sitting on your HDD. You can't go wrong either way though.

Refinement or not, I dislike having the 'feature' foisted on me. It completely cripples the psychological experience of an intense race when forcing the player to sit there with their thumb up their ass waiting to have control again. I don't need to sit there and be forced to appreciate Criterion's nice car crashes in slow mo potentially every few seconds. Real-time control, motherfuckers. Give it back to me.AlphaTwo00 said:
I prefer the original option: no cutaways. Uninterrupted racing>cinematic for every player-initiated takedown. The in-race crash element was better done without stroking itself off in fucking slo-mo for the player all the time. The aggregate effect of crashes piling up in the player's mind adds a serious tension that is lost every time the game blows its load for every cutaway. Ugh. I've repeated my problems with post-BO2 games enough, I think.
Thats true, I may just go with the PSN download instead of disc.Aladuf said:Oh hey there buddy.

Does anyone think a new Road Rash should be like paradise city? just with combat added and cops.

I had a feeling that the Bikes were initially a test to see how Road Rash would have worked.Diablohead said:
PSN loads slightly faster than 360 with Install option.Pimpbaa said:
After the recent patches, I have yet to see the game run any different on 360 vs PSN. In the earliest version the 360 did have some slight stutter on the jump at the north end of the beach.

Wasn't Criterion rumoured to be working on such a game? Was it Surfer Girl?Diablohead said:

Oh I seriously hope this is true, apart from the old megadrive games Road Rash 3D was great fun and the first game which introduced me to an overall world which streamed in real time, if it was in the distance you could drive to it.Visualante said:

I had the 360 version installed. It still took forever to load (and this is compared to the disc version of Burnout Paradise on PS3). And I also had the patch just before the recent one and it slowed down quite a bit more during road rage events. I guess there could have been something wrong with my 360 copy of the game or something wrong with my hard drive. But ever other game is fine.

So this game having the worst most unplayable navigation system of any racing game ever made is because of patents?
They couldn't find some freaking way around a patented arrow? :lol A finger, a sign, anything?
...eh anyways, if anyone is looking for a deal on this, it's $15 a Circuit City. Finally bought this game & hope restarts offset the frustration of the crap navigation.

Simpsons Road Rage had the finger, they were promptly sued by Sega (who owns the "arrow hovering over the car/around the car/side of map" for Crazy Taxi).FTWer said:

So what happened to Take 2/Rockstar for their path generator on its map waypoint system/mini-map feature in GTA IV? Nothing, I'm guessing. Sounds completely silly, this legal bit over the implementation of such a feature.AlphaTwo00 said:

I won't be surprised that if they own it. :lolMightyHedgehog said:

The frame drops only occur during online play with around four or more players in the complex inner city or approaching inner city on the Interstate 88.
Plus drops occur in some areas while moving the camera usually when other vehicles are visable.
Saying that though - the last update seems to have improved the game engine somewhat - less frame drops in the problem areas and a greater draw distance in places.
Its a fantastic engine otherwise.

Basically, if you own both platforms, pick the one with more friends that are willing to play with you.

Nah, I can't participate in this drinking game unfortunately. Had a bucks night on the weekend and over did my alcohol intake. On the plus side, there was lots of boobs.

I don't know if you played it since the latest patch, but now the blinking street signs telling you where to go are much much easier to see without staring at the signs. I never take my eyes off the road and can see the blinking signs without issue now.
Actually, since the latest patch the game seems much easier to me because I feel like I can see everything much better. I haven't had a chance to use the restart function yet.
