BURN!!! BURNOUT BIKE PATCH OUT NOW!!
Y0j1mb0 | 8:51 PM on 09.17.2008 42 comments





BIKE PATCH ready for download NOW for FREE:

* 4 motorcycles featuring male or female characters with a whole new progression to earn your Bike License.
* 38 new against-the-clock race events – Burning Ride and Midnight Ride.
* A brand new in-game 24 hr day / night cycle that impacts traffic density and available events.
* Dynamic weather
* 70 more Freeburn Challenges

If you, for whatever retarded reason, haven't giving this game a chance, now's the time. The game is officially part of the Greatest Hits line and at 29.99 is a STEAL. Criterion has been supporting the heck out of this game by giving us gamers the FREE goods, again and again. Can you believe they're not done yet either.



A Trophy patch is about to drop, as well as a PLANES mode?? WHAT??!? Also, a new island to cruise around is coming too. All I got to say is:

WHO'S WITH ME? WHO'S ROLLING WITH ME IN THIS SHIT??

An additional note: This game WILL be part of PS3 Friday Night Fights. So dust off those discs and let's get it on. And for those who have yet to try this game... BUY IT and join us. I'm ready to takedown some fools. Think you got what it takes to curb this old man in BURNOUT: PARADISE?

I'll be waiting.

And on an unrelated note:



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

If it's not Burnout 3 Jimbo, good sir, count me out, that was the pinnacle of the burnout series.

Don't get me wrong, Burnout Paradise is good and all, but by God I hate pissing aroung half the time getting lost, losing because of the shitty minimap, not having damn markers to point me to a simple repair shop or garage whilst simply crusing around, exploring and stuff. Also, where's my DAMN CRASH MODE!!! ;)

Not even godamn planes makes up for those shortcomings, HOWEVER Burnout Paradise is well worth visiting, if only for a brief peroid of time,sorry.


Have fun guys. :)

Call me crazy, but I think this is the best Burnout game available.

@JIMBO

Make that the countryside, city, and the bloody freeway too, seriously!!

The weird thing is, I love the shit out of GTA4's minimap and how the marker works, same goes for the city layout, whilst I give myself a headache working out where I am in Paradise city.

I had this game, but gave to my best buddy for a shit ton of quality PS1 games, it kinda was a good deal. :)

You aint crazy. This IS the best Burnout game. You got a friggin' city as your playground versus prior games holding your hand in specific modes.Once you get into the flow of this game, there's no turning back. Pure Steve McQueen racing bliss.

@Vexed Alex

The best part is, they are all high quality, there really is not a low-point in the series, I have minor niggles with Burnout Paradise, which equate to me not loving it as much as Burnout 3 or 2. I really did enjoy the time I played it, if only for a short while.

I think the developer is one of the best around, all the free stuff they are giving away proves it, may the Burnout series continue to stay this strong (and bring back my beloved crash mode) ;)

I still haven't bought it yet but will definitely be supporting them soon. I loved the demo anyways so it's just a matter of securing the finances for the transaction.

I picked this up a few weeks ago, this update should be fun. The game is rated E though, does that mean we shouldn't expect fun ragdoll crashes?

God I wish. I need to pick this up. I've played the demo literally a few hundred times, but something else always pops out at me and distracts me from getting it.

As good as the game looks, and as fucking awesome as the post-release support has been, I just can't feel like buying this game. So much content, but the game just isn't that fun. Too much of a regular racing game and not enough like Burnout.

Though $17 after my GameFly credit is pretty damn tempting...

I can't wait for this. The bikes look like a ton of fun. Also the game is totally worth the $30 it is now. I have put well over 45 hours into this game and continue to go back to it.

I love the fact that I can die in this game, previous burnouts were way too easy.

That said, I do wish for better on screen prompts for turns etc. I have trouble in many areas trying to figure out where to turn. But still, awesomely fun game.

Skribble: You hit the nail on the head methinks, my one complaint (besides no replays or horns) is the navigation can be a bit hard when you're driving at 300kph down a crowded intersection.

But I still love this game :)

I picked Burnout Paradise up for 360 the other day. It's such a great game at its core that the bad design choices are almost painful and ruin it for me.

No restarts, no GPS/waypoints, no jumping to destinations via the map? Why Criterion why?! I also agree with it being difficult to follow the prompts for turns.

Those bad decisions make it a much more frustrating experience than it should have been.

I don't like racing games. I never understood the appeal of cars, but I must say crashing cars in Burnout is a lot of fun to do. Just not enough for me to buy a racing game, sorry.

Also:
I heard that the motorcycle guys crashing don't do similar smashes like the cars. Can anyone confirm that?

Random: Yeah as soon as you crash on a bike your rider disappears. I'm also unsure if the bikes show damage or not.

ME WANTEE!!!

Awesome! I can't wait to get home and play this. I own 3 and Revenge, but this I've played the most. Sure, it has rough spots - no offline multiplayer (now THAT would make a sweet update) and quite a learning curve, but it's still the greatest arcade racer ever. Yes, ever. I fucking hate all other racing games and just don't see the appeal, but Burnout is an action game on wheels. You know what else would be an awesome update? Classic tracks in Paradise engine :O

Burnout Paradise is the best arcade racer I've ever played, even though it forces me to listen to GnR for a few seconds. Honestly, this game has ruined all other racers for me. If the updates keep coming, Criterion will put themselves out of business. Off to download the update.

criterion / burnout is sill the best example of DLC. that is how you support a game.

to bad you cant crash the bikes. what happens when they crash? anything?
still no crash mode? lame.

"If you, for whatever retarded reason, haven't giving this game a chance, now's the time."

Don't get cocky there Jimbo. You've just bought that game. Most people are playing this game since January. Now that's retarded.

In other words, I'm in you bearded old man.

Y0j1mb0: Maybe I don't. Or maybe the demo just fails at being an open world racer because of the closed off streets and limited races and fails at being a Burnout game because Paradise is an open world racer instead.

Also, I find it insanely hard to see where I'm driving most of the time because of the glare.
