PS3 challenge players plz add me:
nick: iamgee
I'm getting sick and tired of open games where there always seem to be a few players who f*ck up the challenges. (T-bone takedowns on players who are waiting for the rest)
I don't mind helping players getting challenges I already own..

I can't believe I'm still playing a racing game I purchased back in January, I will gladly purchase all paid DLC Criterion throw at us. I'd love to know how this works out for Criterion as a Business model, especially with all the doom and gloom surrounding closure of studios recently.

Err. Guys, did the Party Pack go live? My 360 is dead, so I can't check. But while I was on XBox's site. I noticed that:
a) The game logo is a different one now
b) It's now out of 1050, with two achievements tied to the Party Pack.
Someone find out now!

As it's referred to on the Criterion website: Our first pack of 2009 is called Burnout Paradise Party.
So no, I don't think so.

That I know, but achievement changes and content changes on Live don't go through until the content exists, right?bune duggy said:

<-- PSN, but I've heard stories that achievements have gone live before the content before so I'm sure this is similar.

I hate it online when you are scrolling through the challenge list deciding what to do and then some smartass rams your car putting you into the crash sequence and closing the menu. I always kick them if the do it more than once :lol
I mean come on its obvious I am parked for a reason!

Well, if you are parked in any main sections of the road, that's your problem. Once.web01 said:
When you respawn (often close by), and they hit you again, that's an automatic kick.

Hey I just scored this game for my brand new 360...and I can't figure out how to:
1. Pick the next race/event/thing. Do I really have to drive around and find them? LAME
2. Restart a race. Do I really have to drive back to the beginning? LAME
Other than that, fun but slightly flawed game. If NFS is ever brought back, I hope it has similar physics as this with just a smidgeon of car mods.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
1. There is an event at EVERY stop light in the city. Not hard to find one at all.PantherLotus said:
2. Yes, you have to drive back to the light where it began.

Right...but why not have a list that I can check off? If they're gonna pack in so much why leave it up to chance that I'll find everything?
What about the ability to see what the event is before trying it? I have to go to a special map? Unnecessarily complicated if you ask me.
Give me a list, let me race, and let me restart it my damn race if I fuck it up. This is especially frustrating on the longer races where a wrong turn strands you in the middle of the country (with no stop lights).
Small complaints, but irritating enough that it will prevent me from playing it to its fullest.
PantherLotus said:
Well, if anyone had anything at all to complain about the game, this was it. And yes, the lack of a retry option actually made me play the game far less than I would have if there was actually such an option right from the start.
I wonder whether there is any substance to the rumour (posted in this thread couple of weeks ago) that Criterion was implementing a retry option in the game but was planning to charge for it.

Welcome to the club. It will annoy you more and more as you progress in the game. Wait until you try one mode (burning route, i guess. don't remember exactly) where you will need specific car and you have to drive back to garage to select it. I always skipped it because of that.PantherLotus said:
Forced design decisions ruined this game for some.
EA said there will be a patch to allow retry. Don't know when and if it will cost or not? I think that patch will be included in some kind of DLC or special edition of the game.

Charging for a retry option? I thought they had removed it from the start because they didn't want the people who play the game to deal with loading
I just bought this game today for PS3, along with Katamari Damacy, and Metroid Prime 3
So far I'm loving it. Driving takes some getting used to, especially when you're in a race. It seems like turns come up really suddenly, and most of the time I barely have time to react. But I'll get used to it. Loving this game. When is the Jansen supposed to be released? And is it going to be free like the bike upgrade, or will we have to pay?

Retry is coming to the re-release of the game.
With all the new DLC that was announced, some of it has to be free, because it affects how the actual game will play online.
That new hot rod introduced new physics balance, and all the car physics are tweaked as of result. The physics/control tweak has to be free, because all online users on any version, no matter if they pay for any of the DLC, will need to have the same base when in an online game.
Retry, as a result, could be free, could be paid content. No idea where it's going to land. But the fact that they swept that so under the rug could be both good and bad. Good, as in, it's so trivial that they will add it in just any update. Bad, as in, EA has taken over their decision, and all the downloads are paid content and they are just going to milk the hell out of it.

Island is a different pack than the Party pack.Aladuf said:
As a quick summary, here's all that has been announced, in the order of annoucnment:
1) Party Pack
2) 4 Special Cars (individual purchases or bundled) - Jansen 88 Special is part of this.
3) Toy Cars - 9 "Funny Cars" based on existing popular cars (no idea how this will be sold as DLC)
4) 2 new boost system cars - (Hot Rod + ???)
4a) Re - tuned physics for all cars (Unclear if this will be free download)
4b) Retry (Unclear if this will be free download)
5) Big Surf Island, with all new stunts, billboards, and challanges
One more announcement is coming on the 16th

Hard to say. What's left to add? Adding cars are nice, and some fans will appreciate it. The island is also the typical addition to any racing games. But what could possibly left to do.Flunkie said:
Depending on sales, I can see a few more cars, and maybe changing it up again by re-introducing track based racing in the city.
Just bought the game and loving it so far. Is the voice over the same from SSX 3?
As a new PS3 owner (only had a Wii) I'm still being blown away by the graphics of the games, and Burnout is no exception (surprisingly, only the MGS4 demo didn't blow me away). The game looks awesome and it has a real sense of speed. Crashing never felt so good!

Yes, it's the same guy. In fact, if you sit idle for a while, he does drop a "hint" about a certain Snowboarding slope he would like to visit.Ydahs said:

Oh God, not another one who cries about retry.PantherLotus said:
Fuck it, if you don't want to play the game it's meant to be played, you should stop now. Go back to your NFS Most Wanted and pick the events without ever learning the streets.
That's how you play Burnout Paradise, drive around, hit Smashes for shortcuts, get Billboards and unlock Events around the map to learn the map, which is usefull when goin online playing Challenges or do Races. Because the next time, you're goin to bitch about not winning any game, because you got lost.
And yes, you are a schmuck after reading those posts.

Finally got around to picking this up used for $20 bucks. Cool game but just as I sort of imagined an open world world burnout is equally interesting and annoying at the same time. I'll have to put more time in before I can give any real quality impressions.
