Hey, I
kind of liked that
Burnout Paradise game! Those Criterion Games chaps made a mighty fine thing, and while I like the content that shipped with the disc, I wouldn't mind a bit more.
They've already revealed at least one new vehicle (see the "Dust Storm" in the video above), and dropped hints about new "island" areas. Two questions remain: when are we getting the new content how much is it going to cost? Criterion's Alex Ward decided to (sort of) answer that second question in a
random reply on the developer's official message boards.
"I think we'll make you work for some of these," he writes, referring to the game's new cars, before he adds. "And one more thing, the islands will all be FREE."
Oh, he did not just drop the naughty four-letter "f" bomb, did he? For an Electronic Arts published game, no less. Free sounds like a pretty amazing deal to me, but I do wonder how long they'll be able to keep up any steady stream of free content before they realize they have to start paying their electric bill. But until their landlord turns off their hot water, keep it coming!

Impossible.
::runs off to tell -D- and Tazar::
Then something happened. Activision soon became that whore or a company, and EA, started buying a few companies here and there, but started releasing quality stuff in my eyes.
Whatever, free is always good.
So I dont know whats going on anymore.
Sorry slow friday morning for me 8(
I totally agree about Microsoft.
When people pay for their online services, I don't see why Microsoft can't let the developers do as they wish.
Hopefully they change their policies with this one. (highly unlikely)
Free is good. It helps convince me to buy games after they've been out a while. This dropkick pack is making me really consider gh3 for ps3, since I own it on ps2 due to controller issues...
As for Burnout Paradise, unfortunately, due to the open world changes in the game, I didn't buy this one.
I pray to god they get back to what Burnout previously was, as I feel intergrating the online game into the open world has spoiled a good series. There just seems to be no line, between single and multiplayer.
Anyways, fairplay to those who want it. Can't be a freedee deal.
Free or not, I'm downloading this the second it hits Live.
