Over the weekend, we brought word that the Burnout Paradise Bike update would be dropping this Thursday. The update will be bringing with it four motorcycles, a 24 hour day/night cycle, dynamic weather system and a ton more stuff -- all for free!

EA and Criterion just passed along this brand new trailer for Burnout Paradise showing the bikes in action and details everything that will be coming in this free DLC pack. I got to play with the new bikes last month and had an absolute blast with the them.

For more information on the bike update, check out the interview we did detailing the downloadable content or just head on over to Criterion Game's Web site.

So who's looking forward to the update? More importantly, who's going to host Burnout Paradise for FNF this week?

I love criterion so much for the respect they showed to their customers.
I bought BP at launch and it's worth every euro I put on it.
I just wonder how can they do this with EA as a publisher

I bought Burnout Paradise a couple weeks ago because of all the free DLC.

It's so uncharacteristic of an EA game to have free DLC, especially on this scale.

How come Criterion can put out free dlc but Valve can't? Arn't they both published by EA?

Maybe this is an expensive experiment on EA's side, to see how free DLL's affect the sales of games, they may use burnout's sale curve statistics against games with no DLC and paid DLC. If I was EA, I think I would.

Expensive, as in they are probably dedicating a lot of programmers into it, not only modelers and game designers, as these are game changing material. It's not like they are asking money for content already shipped on disk, like some games tried, or just additional models / textures that could be prepared if you dedicated one or two people only.

Free DLC's, I meant, and you already knew anyway.

If only this game had split screen it would be sitting at the very top of my DVD rack. Unfortunately, since it lacks same machine MP, I more than likely won't be getting it.

I think achieving the speeds you can achieve on bikes will be incredible, but the fact that bodies disappear when you crash is super laym.

I just came...from my DVD rack to dust off Paradise. Time to get in some practice to shake off the rust for this game.

holy crap. I just bought this today because it had dropped to $30 and I was trying to find something that my girl would play as well.

While she was messing around, came on here and found this little tid bit. Great timing. Well not in a sense becaue I told her about the bikes -- and now she can't wait until Thrusday.

Game's a blast and neither one of us has even bothered with online yet. Best "eh I'll just pop into Best Buy but I probably won't get anything" purchase I've had in a while.

That was awesome! I got my elite license on the weekend but I won't get much time to play this because I'm at uni.
