The Official Burnout Paradise Thread. Restarting Events Patch!
- Thread starter Rowsdower
- Start date
So I hadn't played burnout in a few months. I played a bit last night with Maggot and noticed that my online Timed Challenges all reset to zero. WTF! I had about 75% of them completed. Weird thing is - my Freeburn Challenges are showing up properly completed. Anyone experience this? Am I just screwed? PS3 BD version fwiw.

The restart patch got me back into this game. Just got my Burnout license. Good times.

Love the details on the new skins. Inferno Van's load bangs when shifting gears are the little touches of details that makes Criterion awesomes.
While cops and robbers looks cool, and i'm sure it is fun to play for a limited time, its overly expensive for me.
15 fucking dollars for DLC that adds some cars and an online multiplayer mode that i will only play for an hour or two at most?
Jesus christ, i paid $4.95 for pixel junk eden encore and that has given me a lot of playtime, this is just a pretty, overly expensive throwaway mode.

I agree, I mean I love Burnout but $15 for a online mode that requires other people to be playing it for me to get any value from it? That's way too much. I could by Outrun Online for that much and have a fully featured single and multiplayer game.
Edit: It's $15 in Australia.

Wait, so without the cars what is the point? So technically it would be $15?

It's only about 60MB more than 1.7. Delete 1.7.

Ok, I suppose I am confused then. What is the extra $5 for?

How many achievements are there after all patches? New achievements limits have gone up. They can add more later if they want to. New limit is max 80 achievements and score of 1750.

Is it safe to delete the Cagney and Bike updates as well for me?
Tried hosting a freeburn room, but it didn't give me an option to start cops and robbers. Just race.
Then I joined someone else's game but they weren't playing cops and robbers. Then I got disconnected from LIVE so hard my modem reset itself.
Then I reset my machine and restarted the game and joined a race sessions that was supposed to be starting cops and robbers and the 360 crashed so hard I had to unplug the machine from the power supply just to be able to get it back.
And now I'm looking at the NXE thinking I'd rather be playing Banjo instead. Awesome new game mode, well worth the 800 points!

So the new mode is fun and I like the amount of skins and limited customization to some of the cars but a little pricey. And the trophies are so easy to get. Took around 28 minutes to get all 8 trophies. And that was while messing around and accidentally having to restart some of the rounds since a couple of trophies require a 5 round match. Anyone else notice that some of the scenery changed or is just me? I swear some things are more vibrant and there are flags and that tower that has the moving billboard on it by the entrance of the tunnel? And that's just the inner city area exploring. I haven't even headed out to the country since the gold was conveniently located in town for my trophy runs.
Yes indeed.TTP said:
I was wondering the same scene, it seems they've somehow upgraded Paradise City, with more details... Is that even possible? Are they still optimizing the engine?LiquidMetal14 said:
BTW, those who purchased C&R get new profile pictures for the CGN... There are now only two unlocked (for me anyway).

If it's like the PS3 then you hit right on the d-pad on scroll down to soundtrack.nli10 said:
Upgraded of just made some things pop. Or you could be right as I swear the game looks even cleaner. Almost looks like a 1080p game, it looks that sharp. Was that big guitar thing near the tunnel there too? I think they may have put more color on things since I'm looking all around and many things are catching my eye.crispyben said:

It's the new limit, but no idea whether Criterion can retroactively add this back in. That might be the problem.MirageDwarf said:
Yes. Delete it all. All you need is your save game, any DLC pack you downloaded, and 1.8.Pizza Luigi said:
Just like any other 360 custom soundtrack, you set it up on the dashboard on the 360.nli10 said:
All the games I've joined had cars set by the host, which made it much more interesting. Inferno Van 3 on 3 was like a great case of bumper cars, until I started using hidden routes in the city to distract people.crispyben said:

Oh man the Cops and Robbers mode is a riot. Was engaged in some really close matches last night, with great mugshots and all. Definitely the best of the paid DLC content, and the most sanely-priced as well. I may be on off and on this weekend as I juggle games, but feel free to add me on PSN (same as GAF name) if you want.

I haven't experienced this problem. I just got a replacement PS3 from repair a few days ago, and transferred my old save file from March 1 over to this system. Virtually all my accomplishments survived the transition, including progress on both freeburn and timed challenges. (I also lost one Road Rule on Nelson Way, which I believe I got after March 1.)
Where does it look like you lost your timed challenges? I've only checked the status of timed challenges on the pause screen, not on Easy Drive, and I haven't played online with anyone yet.
I did notice my online rivals and races won got reset to zero at some point a few months ago (I think around the time of the 1.7 update, still while using my first PS3), but that's about the only major issue I've had that still hasn't resolved itself. I remember some Road Rules reverted to older scores a few months before that, but my guess is that was a server side problem, as a few weeks later it eventually updated back to the newer scores.

I first noticed that my total challenges were increasing when I was playing with Maggot a few weeks ago - challenges I was CERTAIN I had completed (as in all the 2 Player Timed Challenges). I checked my stats on the pause screen and I had my 75% or so of the Freeburn Challanges showing up as being completed - but the only Timed Challenges I had credit for were the ones me and Maggot just did.
Now that you mention the dead PS3 thing - maybe swapping saves had something to do with it. I initially beat the game 101% and then started a new game when the trophy patch came out. I believe that most of my Timed/Freeburn challenges were completed pre-trophy patch. So I got all the tropies, deleted that save and reloaded my original 101% save. Was the Burnout Save broken down into parts - as in one for the offline game, one for Timed Challenged and one for Freeburn Challenges (and perhaps I didn't back up or load one) or was it all together in one save file? Also somewhere inbetween that stuff I did have my PS3 die and get replaced.
Anyways, I just thought it was weird that I have my Freeburn Challenges but not my Timed Challenges.

me too, barely touched it before. I just got my A license....pretty much been blazing through this since last weekend. Good times indeed.
How come I wasn't told about this???BeeDog said:
No Gold trophy, too... Trophies for C&R appeared 4 weeks before release, could we be looking at a mid-June trop to the Island? Looks like there will be a PCPD station on Big Surf Island, look at the filename in the Takedown 4x4 pic for today's post...
