I've completed the game pre-patch, so I have no idea. I assumed that it's the same as any other race.tino said:

Fog is different. You can't switch it off and you can't get rid of it by cycling the day / night cycle. I finished the game pre-patch too, but the fog is damn annoying when you're doing time trials on roads. It pretty much makes it impossible to do your best. I hope they fix it in a patch. So you can turn it off.

What soundtrack change? Just classical? Or did you put a "All Avril" playlist?Threi said:

Played this for two hours last night, and quitting out bombed the game. My hd had to do a rebuild and lost about 9 cars. ugh.

"The way it was meant to be played" will never make up for shortcomings and irritations. You should never have to turn off this behemoth console and turn it back on so you can retry a race. No excuses, no matter how much you love this game.

Err. You turn off the system to retry? I just drive right back to the race. :lolPantherLotus said:
I don't know what it was, but before the PS3 version got the update with Custom Soundtracks I would cut down the soundtrack in the game to about 5-6 tracks that I really liked and whenever Avril came on I fucking tore it up on the road.AlphaTwo00 said:
I remember when we'd have full rooms of GAF games back when it came out and we'd all set our soundtrack to Avril at the same time and just go nuts at the air field. Epic times.

Hi5. The proper way to do it. That, or just drive around to the starting point looking for secret gates.Threi said:
PantherLotus said:
Yeah, the Burnout Paradise defenders are actually extremely annoying. "The way it was meant to be played" is a very poor and flimsy defence of a flawed design decision. So many people have come out and said that a retry option would actually make the game better and more tolerable in the long run and yet the Criterion fanboys refuse to see the truth of it.
Threi said:
Yeah and how the hell would you know whether that race will take you back to the starting point of the original race without first initiating it?

And I agree with a retry option for those who cannot handle it, but I actually learned more about the map and found shortcuts driving back.PantherLotus said:
However, the game has been out for almost a year. There's no point in bringing this up time and time again in the official thread.
Stupid question but I am too lasy to read all 4,000+ posts in this thread and figure it out on my own.
I want to buy Burnout Paradise for my PS3 but don't know if I should wait for the "Ultimate Box", buy the current retail version, or just download it from the PSN? Is there any advantage to the PSN version (full HD install) over the disk version? Does the new edition coming out in February include anything I can't get as a free download at a later date?
Thanks.

Retail and PSN are identical right now. Price and feature is identical. However, PSN benefits from being sharable, and Disk benefits from being a disk.TheKurgan said:
The new edition will include all the new content, most of which will be Paid DLC for the current retail and PSN version.
Unknown cost for the DLC and the Ultimate Box.

I just received the game and posted in a still-active thread with my thoughts, and mentioned the retry thing exactly once. I didn't realize this was a sore subject...but if I can't join the party and share my new-found joy in this game with a like-minded audience...what's the point?
I agree with the idea that it will help me learn the map, but I'm not sure that being able to retry wouldn't do the same.

What "new edition"? The Ultimate box will only include the Party pack, arguably the least interesting paid DLC coming.
This. Since we don't know the price point yet for the Ultimate Box on consoles($39.99 for PC), or the price of the DLC which is included in it (just the Party Pack), it's hard to say if you're better off waiting, TheKurgan.Philanthropist said:

Unless my interpretation is wrong, the Ultimate Box is rolling in all the DLC they have just announced.Philanthropist said:

The new vehicles and the new island will still be paid DLC. I'd just get the PSN version if I were someone on the fence.

Well then. The Ultimate Box is retarded. What's the damn point?Philanthropist said:

Doesn't look like the Ultimate Box has the new islands or cars

I guess it's a way to give a year-old game some visibility on shelves, since the newly-included retry option will entice people who had been hesitating to purchase the game... Also, you should consider the people whose consoles are not connected to the internet and who couldn't get the free GCC that the Ultimate Box includes. Of course, it is definitely not aimed at those who already have the game.AlphaTwo00 said:
I just got the Elite license, can't remember the last time I spent 73 hours on a game (except Tetris.) I got the gold car and shit. And then realized there is no trophie for Elite license. You get trophies for D, C, B, A, Burnout licenses but not the hardest one. Sony that's mess up.
Fuck off, its easy to do it than driving back, especially for burning routes that go deep into the mountains. You just press X and start a couple times while browse the web for a couple minutes. Don't tell me how to play a game.

Little bit after halfway point: they lose the Marked Men, and hit retry last event.

Crap, i sold my copy of the game, in order to buy the ultimate box when it comes out next month, so i wouldnt have to buy the island DLC. I thought that they were going to at least include the island.The Skater said:

Have they mentioned anything about Ultimate playing with regular copies of the game?

Why are they trying to charge PC gamers for content? Nobody is going to buy it when they're being set free in Paradise City for the first time. People weren't bored of the console game for months and they expect us to pay for content out the gate. No dice, EA.
