wow, a lot of the cars are a lot slower now, even my fav jansen carbon x12 is slower 
Shearie said:
I've noticed everything stands out alot more, not sure I prefer it to the old look but it sure makes driving around at high speeds MUCH easier.
EDIT: Looks like speed reductions across the board, not a bad change imo, as alot of the cars had little to choose between them before, more variety now.

So.... you can not retry a race during a race. If you say made a mistake & know you won't be able to beat the race, you have to stop & specifically wait to fail the race to get the retry option then?

i haven't played party mode properly yet cause i was by myself last night, but it certainly seems like a fun enough time. there's three different kind of events you can pick from, or you can just leave it on random. car colours are automatically assigned. you can have eight players and do anywhere from 1 to 10 rounds.
if you do multiple rounds the scoring increases. so, for example i did a five round game, and it was 250 points for a completion or the winner (some events are only pass/fail others you are rated by how fast or how far you go while meeting the challenge) for the first three rounds, then stepped up to 500 for the next two.
hoping to have a real 'party' this weekend sometime.
for anyone else with the PC version, my name is 'plagiarize' in the game. please add me! i played with some randoms last night and picked up a couple of friends. i have voice and camera.

I'm not used to such download speeds on the PSN. It's 75% done and I've only been downloading for 10 minutes.
It's the only reason I picked up the 360 version last week.FTWer said:
And after unlocking the A license, I have to say THANK GOD. Maybe I'm OCD or whatever but I have this uncontrollable urge to retry the same race over and over until I finish it. Some burning routes are controller-throwing irritating when you don't know the city.
Not to mention how shitty it is to get stuck on the west side of the city after completing a race only to have to drive all the way back east to get a new event (though I don't think the patch will help with that).

So the Party Pack is up and it's a 100kb download. Apparently it downloads with the patch and the $9.99 you pay is for a key to unlock it. I was wondering how they would handle it if it was a download and you have the disc 1.50 and the PSN 1.50 installed at the same time.
The UI has changed quite a bit too. You can enter the store from the pause menu as well as the CG frontend. My stats didn't update in the frontend after starting the game, I wonder if you have to do something in-game first?

Same. The update took seconds, and there were some very slight changes. New 5 second loading screen at the start, the cars feel ever so slightly more stable. But otherwise, I'm not seeing any changes...
One thing that I did notice however, and maybe I just didn't notice it before. When you hit boost the camera draws back. I at first thought they made the cars smaller. But it's just the camera moving back when you boost.

The Party Pack is showing up on the XBL Marketplace, but when you try to download it there is an error message saying it can't be found. 800 Points.

WTF you need an EA account now to play burnout online?!?!?!? FUCK YOU !!!
Fuck that. There are only ~20 events on the west side and 297863529736 on the east side. That's how it was designed.crispyben said:
And how are you supposed to know which events lead you where without starting them at random?
Good question. Can anyone confirm that you're able to use the retry option with vanilla races?jorma said:

i understand that the easy drive menu contains a 'restart last event' option. can't confirm it from work though.epmode said:
Bring up the map.epmode said:
Yep, both when you don't win and when you give up (and even when you win).epmode said:
After playing for a bit, here's what I see:
- new crash cam/animations
- vibrant colors on all notices/billboards/ads/signs/road markings/vegetation/paintjobs
- improved draw distance, esp. with scenery
- fog's still here
- nighttime visibility OK (platinum car looks blue
)- new boost visual effects

I played long enough before I left for work to hit a billboard, a super jump, and change my car but the stats remained. I'm sur eit'll update later, I'm not worried yet.crispyben said:Tackle another event that leads you back there, that's how it was designed. There events at every crossroads.
Once you play, the stats will update. I got scared at first
what does this mean, though?sankt-Antonio said:

my favourite thing is how the bright lime green cars now look bright lime green. i always went with lime green in revenge, but it was such a dull colour before. same with the hot pink mobiles.crispyben said:Bring up the map.

We've actually known about them for a while, and if you compare your trophies with somebody else, you'll see even more of them, related to the upcoming vehicles. And yes, this game is awesomeDMeisterJ said:
I don't know about the EA stuff since I already did that for Mirror's Edge, so it logged in right away without me doing anything... Just had to say OK for the disclaimer.

Slower cars?
I do believe that the entry level cars are now slower (harder to crash), but top end hasn't changed.
