Uh, the Davis update? So the new island is going to cost money after all? D:Shearie said:

Right now, if you log online, you will reseave Bogart update. That contains mainly bug fixes and minor gameflow improvements.Beezy said:
Cagney is the next update (within 30 days). This is a FREE update that will add new online modes, new online events, 4 (6?) new cars, new Front End, new "NEWS FEED", other online add-ons (such as online car damage), PS3 also gets custom MP3s.
Davis is the one after (scheduled end of august?). This is the first pay one (although it's unsure whether non-paying users will still get content (because of online play)). Paying users will get Night time racing, Bikes, and apparently (as I'm reading now, a new Island)
Eastwood was the last they announced (TBA date). No idea what this is now, because originally, this was the new island.
From what I gathered, you don't pay for any of the updates including Davis. The only thing that has been announced that you pay for are the motorcycles and that comes alongside the Davis update. Also, unless the new island is single-player only (which would suck), I highly doubt that they are going to piss everybody off and charge for it.
Of course none of us truly knows the details of this since Criterion haven't explained them fully.

is it stil possible to get into the game???
I got my Burnout Paradise License and I did all the time road rules on Saturday. I have 61 cars. Game says I'm 69% done. What do you have to do to get 100%? Find everything (smashes, etc.), do all the showtime road rules, get every car and get the Burnout Elite license? Or do the online challenges contribute to overall percentage also?

100% completion doesn't count online, I don't think. I am pretty sure you just need to get the Criterion Elite achievement (all road rules, all smashes, all jumps, all billboards, all drive-thrus, elite license) to hit 100%.
If I'm not mistaken the game has 81 cars total, including 3-4 that were preorder bonuses from various retailers (the codes for which are in the OP of this topic).
I'm thinking about picking this up tomorrow, couple of questions.
1. The camera in the demo was way too low to the ground and it was hard to see in front of me, are there more camera options in the final game?
2. Is there some sort of waypoint system similar to GTAIV when doing the races? I don't want to keep checking my map every 10 seconds to see if I'm going the right way.
3. Have custom soundtracks been added? [PS3 version]
4. What kind of DLC has been added so far?

None other than first person. I really can't recommend this game. Once you get to where you need 25 events to get to the next class, the game becomes a total grind that shows off how thin an experience it really is. It is fun online, but even that doesn't last that long. Probably the worst of the Burnout series. Never played the first or the PSP one though.dralla said:

There is no waypoint system like GTA4, but there are cues. The street signs that appear on the top left/right as you pass will flash and beep if you can/should take the turn.
When you first start racing though you're better off holding back a little and following the rest of the cars until you get closer to the end of the race, and then go for glory. Its safe to do this until you get a better mental map of the city.
IF you like open world games and IF you love Burnout style balls-to-the-wall racing then I couldn't recommend this game enough. When you start to learn the layout of the city and just instinctively know your way around you'll find yourself doing all kinds of crazy things to win a race.
Besides that its just fun as hell to drive/smash the cars. Take any new ride you pick up and do "the loop". Start at the East Crawford junkyard (your starting location when playing for the first time) Drive south along the waterfront all the way west until you reach the SouthBeach Expressway Bridge, take the soft left and speed your way all the way across the mountain road/jumps/shortcuts until you hit Lawrence, take a left into the tunnel and follow 7th all the way back to East Crawford to the Junkyard. Its a great ride, and a good way to get a feel for the quirks of all the different cars.

I'm a little annoyed that they are going to be doing stuff for people who post a lot on the official forums and stuff. I see the point of it but if you don't know (or have the time) for such a thing you're not going to be getting these things at all. Oh well, free updates are still cool.
Just get into a non-tuned vehicle (if there's two versions of a vehicle, you already have the tuned version) and you'll see a brown star on the mini-map pointing you towards the burning route for that vehicle. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I'm guessing you want to complete all the burning routes and I'd imagine that'd be a better way of going about it.dralla said:

The physics in GTA4 are better as it uses the havoks physics engine. in BP they are about as equal to Max Payne I think.

Insane For Sony
Driving physics are much tighter in BP. Cars feel a lot more realistically heavy. GTA4 has a lot more springy and cartoony physics, which is intended that way for sure.isamu said:

i wish the BP physics and handling were in GTA4......
GTA IV probably has better physics. You can't do things like make a precise 90 degree turn at high speeds without spinning out or slamming into something, just like a you would in real life.isamu said:
Which, uh, isn't really that enjoyable.
BP's driving physics aren't realistic, but they're fun.

exactly. Burnouts physics/ car handling are the best in any arcade racer imo. it just works so damn well. i think it would have been perfect for GTA4. the cars are just frustrating for this kind of game.. hell, i even had to restart a mission because i drove a truck of a bridge.. just because the damn thing wouldn't steer as much as i liked. and the constant spinning at races... took away some of the fun.. and that's a shame.
