Criterion Games is hinting that tomorrow it may reveal some solid details on its upcoming Burnout Paradise “Big Surf Island” expansion.
“Almost time to spill the beans,” writes Criterion’s Pete Lake on his Twitter account. “Be watching CriterionGames.com at 4pm BST this Friday. Your questions will be answered…”
So we’ll definitely be doing that “watching” thing tomorrow at 4pm BST. The island expansion was originally announced to be released in Fall of 2008, but things got out of hand -- Criterion made the damned thing bigger than they had originally planned. That would explain what’s taking it so long, and why it won’t be free content.
But who can complain? The free updates and support for Burnout Paradise has been out of control since the game’s launch; these guys deserve your cash.
On a side note, Lake also mentions on his Twitter that Grasshopper Manufacture’s Suda 51 visited their studio a few days ago. Is a No More Heroes/Burnout cross-over in the works!?!? (That’s a joke, but seriously… think about that for a second.)

I swear I had about 30 hours logged before I even touched the motorcycles... which happen to also be amazingly fun. Spent a good chunk of time getting that 100% license by completing all the day/night events. The last bike is INSANE! I love zipping around the city. Want more!
I haven't even bothered going online yet, though I know there is a social network there that could bring in hours upon hours of more life to an already extensive game. Then I hear about this new island, and I can't wait!
Its been nice getting back in to racing games lately. I bought Motorstorm recently too and thats a hell of a time. I'm going to have to pay more attention to these zoom zoom games, as they are fucking good.
Yup, they are English, I wish I lived close to thier dev house, but atlas I do not. :(
Does it blow your mind that it's my least favourite game in the burnout series? I don't get why everyone else raves about it tbh. It's not a bad game but it's not brilliant either - though Criterion's support of it has been phenomenal.
