Bikes and planes: New Burnout Paradise footage is a real crowd pleaser

     Xbox 360

Even the blurriness and brevity of this video has little impact on awesomeness of what transpires onscreen. Though only 10 seconds in length, we finally get a peek at what Criterion was talking about when they mentioned adding not only bikes, but planes in a future update to Burnout Paradise.

The jury is still out on how well the whole biplane thing is going to fit into the overall scheme of the game (Imagine the joy of swooping down on cars speeding towards the finish, and witnessing the spectacular crashes that result from it!), but it's hard to imagine the Burnout team cranking out anything less than stellar downloadable content. These guys sure know how to rock out a racing game. At this rate, we may never need to buy another one again!

[Thanks, Gantz]

I think they should receive a prize. Can't wait for the updates.

Yeah, I don't know how the gameplay of the planes will actually work, but if you see how much game they already put into Burnout Paradise and they still are adding to this it's insane.
Bikes will cost something though. But I will be more than happy to pay for that.

I love the way Criterion has continued to develop SERIOUS new content for their game, and also given respectful attention to fan requests (such as the addition of Road Rage MP.)

The game is definitely worth the money, plus the new island coming this fall is FREE. So much greatness at such a small price when compared.

I think that for racing games, including bikes is their shark jumping moment. It's a sign they have nothing else to do in the series.

is criterion even making any other games? maybe thats why they can focus on making this content.
i bet planes will suck. fly from one land mark to the next. unless there are sky rings to fly through. and how will they handle show time with it? same with bikes.
still cool there supporting there game more than any other companies.

other companies- "oh DLC. yeah were gonna make it its gonna be the best DLC ever and should be out in 2 months"( 2 years later) "sorry were to busy making another game we forgot to make that DLC for that other game."

I think I've said this before, Criterion should seriously consider making a brand new game with the airplanes. I mean, if they've got the capacity to add it on to Burnout, they could definitely do a full separate game with planes.

I'd be seriously interested to see what Criterion can do with the flight sim genre. Well not sim, I mean the arcade style they implemented into racing with the Burnout series. Get on it Criterion! Try something new

Downloaded this today on the PS3. GPS, Map and Camera still suck balls. I want my map to be dynamic and my car's location pointing North!!! Damn it Criterian!!! I don't want to have to have to do direction calculators in my head when I'm driving $300 MPH.
