Criterion isn't working on new Burnout Paradise DLC photo

As much as I hate being the messenger on this one, it's got to be said: Criterion Games is finished putting out post-launch content for Burnout Paradise. It's understandable if talk of the canned add-on ideas got you all fired up, but it's not going to happen. Burnout on the moon is nothing more than a pipe dream.

Apparently, fans have been after the studio for some time now. Take a look at this recent tweet: "Please stop asking us for Burnout Paradise DLC. There will be no more! Sorry everyone! But we did WAY more than everyone else ..."

If anything, you guys should be going crazy with the Need for Speed questions. Perhaps you'll get a vague answer, perhaps you will further annoy the good people at Criterion. It's a chance you need to be willing to take.

I'm really surprised people were thinking Criterion was still working on more DLC. Maybe it was just wishful thinking. Can't blame them if that was the case. I'm curious what they're gonna do with Need for Speed. I'm not really excited but sure as hell interested. Burnout: Paradise was and still is one of the best racing games I've played. Maybe they can give that 'old' franchise a much needed boost.

Its not really a surprise. The game was released on 2007 and the amount of support it got was great (and plenty of that was free).

That game is probably the best racing game I have played in years. A few nights ago I plug it to get the last update and that proved to be a big mistake... 3 AM and I was still roaming around Paradise City.

It was actually released in January of 08, granted that is only a month after 07.

Still, why do we need DLC 2 years later? The amount of extra content that is available for the game, even the free Bike DLC, is plenty for a whole separate game.

FUUUUUUUUUCK!!

Well I kind of figured they were done. Big Surf Island was a good send-off at least. I was playing last night and realized I have maybe 5 Road Rules left to conquer with the bikes before I own all golds. Cars will take a little longer because of those damn showtimes or whatever they're called.

Racing is dead to me right now. With the leaked Road Rash dead and Burnout thrown to the backburner something really awesome needs to catch my eye.

Like a new JetMoto. What? Who said that?

They supported the hell outta that game so my hats off to em, hope there next endevers are just as good, burnout and wipeout are really the only 2 racers I care about.

Fair enough, I didn't even get all of the DLC, Never needed that much more burnout than they delivered out of the box.

I hope their next project goes well, I'd like to see what they'll bring to the table in terms of the NFS series.

So, how much DLC was released AFTER The Ultimate Box?
If I bought just Ultimate Box what would I miss?

I had thought there was going to be another DLC island, but I'm very happy with what we got.

the game was one of my first ps3 buys, and the FREE DLC gave it some real worth i have to tell you, its like getting 3+ games for the price of one, if every publisher did like burnout/criterion did, i would gladly pay the 70 dollar price, heck if they gaurenteed at least 5+ FREE DLC updates i would pay $100 for it, sure it would be more like a prorated DLC fee, but it would not make be feel like shit for dripping 70 bucks for a shit game with no support or patches..
