Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Question about the PS3 game: Can you send a friend request in game, and if so does the friend also appear in the PSN or is it like UT3 where adding a friend in game doesn't add it in PSN?

Just got this from Gamefly. About an hour in, enjoying it pretty well so far. Is there really no way to shut off the takedown cam, though, or even to skip them when they come up? I find it really annoying to be taken out of the game so often.
Has anyone heard anything in the way of future DLC?
Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but someone at gamefaqs posted what they claimed was the 'original map' for Paradise City (http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/9828/originalbpmpy1.jpg ). There's a huge airport off to the east, and if you go to the east side in game there's a broken bridge and some mock up buildings on the eastern horizon.

Yes and no. Yes in that it keeps most of the core intact, and no in that the changes that it DOES make were mostly for the worse. In other words, I'm having fond flashbacks of Burnout 3 and keep getting the feeling that I'd rather being playing it than Paradise...

Judging from the podcast, they're all big fans of DLC, and have some good ones in store. They say just giving more cars wouldn't be good enough.
And they've dropped some pretty strong hints that something big will be coming at the end of the year. That's a long way off... it must be good.

This is, for me, the most laid back and "chill" gaming experience I've had since playing Tony Hawk 2 on the Dreamcast. The key point is this...if you mess up some sort of event...don't get frustrated, just do something else and come back to it later some time...if at all. It's very free and almost sortof relaxing.
Most people seem to be quite happy with it, as am I (obviously).

just remember that it's a zero not an O, you need the space between each group of 4 characters, and also the letters have to be capitalized.burgerdog said:
and wth is the point of giving this car away for free if you can't use it until you practically beat the game anyway?

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
races are starting to get harder at level B, and the cheap piece of shit they give you for leveling up doesn't help much. I had to get lucky with a few races. I just took down the Mafioso car and bailed for the night. damn, this game gets the blood flowing. Why couldn't they have released this earlier in the winter? It's a great work out for when the weather outside is freezing 
Regarding in game XMB: yes, you can send friend requests and accept them. But strangely, you can only do it when you're NOT playing online. Go figure.
Regarding DLC, DJ Atomica's news post (pause, Burnout Online, News) mentions (or mentioned) that there is some coming in the future.

I'm making an absolute killing online. The last 7 or 8 races I've won. Most by landslides

I've been critical of the game but that's only because the game is so great, that I think a few tweaks would make it absolutely perfect. Definitely a must buy arcade racer.

I just realized: No gas tankers in the game.

Still having a blast with Showtime mode, but perturbed by the fact that your ability to gain a high score is almost completely predicated on the (completely random) factor of how many buses (which act as score multipliers) show up. It's entirely possible to string together amazing 50+ crashes but still fall short of the target just because no buses ever showed up.
Grabbed my copy today.
This is the first Burnout game I owned, so I think I'm at an advantage in that I don't have to adjust to the open world game play. That being said, I'm really digging the go-anywhere, do-anything gameplay.
Fast, hectic and a lot of fun just to watch. I'm pretty bad so far (I hit a lot of barricades that seem to come out of nowhere!), but I'm looking forward to learning the city and getting online with some of you guys.
Hit me up for some online races.

Are there only particular races where you unlock a car driving around the city? I've never had more than 1 car driving around the city at a time and I've strung together like, 4 race wins in a row without ever getting another.

Still trying to crack 100 cars in Showtime, 94 is my record.
I actually find myself avoiding straight race events to some extent now because I really don't enjoy having to navigate, and losing a race in the final stretch because I took a wrong turn. I hate hate HATE it, and racing with one eye constantly glancing at the map and trying to figure out the next turn to take just doesn't = Burnout to me. The routes that are pretty much a straight shot are fine, but any kind of convoluted route is just a pain. I try to score as many wins doing Road Rages and Marked Mans instead.
Anyone got any Stunt Run tips for me? What's the best way to get a high score?

I just found the in game messaging as well. Why doesn't every EA game or any other game for the matter, use this as a standard yet!?

Holy shit speed cars are ridiculous. How anyone can get more than two burnout chains is beyond me. It's pretty much pure luck as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't stop me from trying though, it's too much fun. First person view is a must of course.
I like this game.
