Wow it is real. How much is it going to cost and when is it out? Also, speculation as to what the other "legendary" cars are?
I'm guessing the GT Nighthawk has got to be KITT from KnightRider. The Bootlegger is probably the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. The Manthattan Spirit is probably the Ghostbuster's ECTO-1.
Seeing as the 88 Special can hover, the other cars should have special features too.
If the Knighthawk really is KITT and it doesn't talk Criterion will be ultimate fail.
The Bootlegger/General Lee needs to shift the game into slow motion whenever it catches air. Bonus points if the game freeze-frames and a crazy narration kicks in.
I don't care what the Spirit / ECTO-1 does so long as it has that fucking Ghostbusters siren.
Also, a driver should step out of the car and "ghost ride the whip".

yeah i know I posted that before you last edit , I read you post when i went to the page after that and did fixed my post .
It's shame tho , with ads ( many of them ) and other stuff ( sponsors , re-releasing the game twice ) I thought they can they can afford going free life-time DLCs/patches for the game but I guess it's not that easy for them .
If a KITT clone is in there, the special feature will definintley be Turbo Boost...the one KITT 'power' used in the climax of every episode. Hit a button to jump anywhere.StrikerObi said:
General Lee I'm not so sure. Extra air time off of existing jumps? Indestructable?
I agree with you on ECTO-1, it just needs the siren.

Today's announcement.
...wait, what?
Holy god damn. Yes.
I really didn't expect either of these reveals. To be honest I'm not sure how i feel about them either. They neither get me excited or bummed. I'll be buying them all regardless though just to support my favourite game of all time.
You know what car, or livery, I'd like to see in the game?
I'd argue the coolest car ever featured in any movie. It was invincible, performed stunts, drove through shopping centre walls, and was as fast as a bullet.

They should work on Burnout 6 now rather than this. ... but more content is good none the less

ok, this I'll pay for. awesome.
Yeah mofos I bought this yesterday on the PSN store, been playing for a few hours today. So far, so awesome. Sense of speed is unbelievable, dare I say it trumps Wipeout HD...somehow. Right now just driving and finding shortcuts and banners to destroy is fun enough. Not sure how is not having any sort of circuits gonna hold up, but so far I'm having fun, the driving model is excellent and much improved over previous Burnouts.
Also...I think I may actually need an HDTV for this game. Not to spruce up the graphics(which are decidedly 'meh' in SD -i thought the latest patch made things better for SDTVs, sup wit dat Criterion-), but because at the speeds I'm going I sometimes can't make out SHIT in front of me. :lol
BTW, is there like an online manual somewhere? Online mode is kind of alien to me, not sure what to do there exactly.
Oh and how do I access the new DLC'd areas? Map seems surprisingly smaller than I thought.

To be honest, I can't really think of anything I want in Burnout 5 that they couldn't add to Burnout Paradise with DLC. But then again, all I really want is a destruction derby mode and a follow the leader mode. Well, I guess having explosions again would be nice.Unregistered007 said:
The game manuals are online here, but if you're looking for explanations of the game's online modes, you can use the FAQs at GameFAQs. That said, there are several online modes: plain Freeburn, i.e. goofing around with up to 7 other players; Freeburn events (Road Rage, Marked Man, Stunt Runs) same as offline; ranked/unranked races; timed/untimed Freeburn challenges according to the number of players. To join/create/find an online game, press right on the d-pad, then down, then right and choose the appropriate option!jett said:
There are no DLC areas (yet), but the map is just the right size for now I think. The new island will be reached using the under construction bridge to the east of Angus Wharf...

I accidently bough this game on PSN when I was trying to find out how big the file size was. It said I had 0 dollars in my wallet. Oh well, judging by 99% of the gaming population I'm in for a great ride.

Nice accident.
TONX said:
Is this a fresh save, meaning you got those 30 road rules after the Trophy patch?
If you got those before the patch, then it won't count towards the Trophy. Just move your old save file over to a USB stick or SD card then start a fresh save to get some of the trophies you're missing. When you're done, just delete the new save and bring the old one back so you have access to everything you completed originally...

Finally finished off my Criterion Elite licence. 
Finally got my 101% and my Krieger Überschall Carbon last night
In unrelated news, AlexW from Criterion confirmed the island for a 2009 release, after all the other new packs have been released... Can't wait ! Just look at that vid.
Also, he said there will be a Trophy for each 'Legendary Car' on PlayStation3, but there will not be Achievements for each car on the Xbox 360.

Those of us who already have it a) should not need the retry option and b) know why it was not added in the first place.
Success at the game both offline and online is a matter of map knowledge. A retry button is a great way of preventing people from ever learning the map in its entirety.

Alex also said in the boards that the Legendary Cars will be available for purchase separately or in a pack for a discount price.

Not actually that important
Guys I've just bought this incredible game (for an incredibile price, X360 ver. just 12,59 at BlockBuster's Italy, ie "GameRush").
Is there any FREE DLC I can download with a X360 Arcade with a 250MB cart and no Live Gold?
Cheers

last I read was that the HDD was required for online stuff. sorry, I don't have a 360 so maybe one of "them" can be of more use to you.

Sorry bud, I don't think the add-ons will fit, they are free however. You should look into picking up the discounted 20GB hard drivers MS is making available to Core/Arcade 360 owners... There is some form to fill out and they hook you up with either a 512MB card for free or a discount on a 20GB refurbished hard disk...

I was under the assumption that a HDD was needed to even play the game. In any case, I think all of the major DLC Criterion has released is over 250MB. I don't know if MS is doing this outside of North America, but they do have a deal where you send your console serial number and if it's an arcade you can get a cheap HD for the upcoming NXE.

Thanks guys, I'll definitely go with the "refurbished HD deal" thing since I'm missing out on too much great stuff these days, I just dunno if I should fill up my 250 cart before applying or if with the Arcade sku I'm entitled by default and there's no need to "cheat".
Btw Peronthious, thank god I can still play offline without the HD, that I know for sure since I'm having a blast with the game

So confused.
This isn't the DLC I wanted.
But I want it.

I'm confused...they say "collectibles" but they're DLC? doesn't make sense. Now if they'd partner with Mattel and release these as that kind of collectible, I'd be all over that. twice. one to play with and one to display.
It's been confirmed they're DLC. I don't see how they can be of a different size, so the design is what is toy-like in them. Also, they say it's the 3rd announcement out of 6, when they only promised 4 new DLC packs... Does that mean we'll also have two free updates, Eastwood/Island and a mysterious one?

So that Ultimate box art has the online-only car on it. Interesting.
