Even with good news, there always at least one guy that complains. Thanks for being that guy.

TiKiMaN16559d ago

I'm so excited for this update! If you read through the list of changes I'm sure you will agree that it is rather impressive. :)

It is extremely nice to see Criterion Games show continued pampering and love for their product.

Gun_Senshi6559d ago

update is before or after 12th june.

thats all i care O_o

You don't hear about game updates adding resolutions, now do you? This one adds 1080i specifically for people who only have HDTVs that only go up to 1080i. Plus custom soundtrack support on PS3. Weird how they have this planned right next to 2.40 which is also supposedly to have custom soundtracks.

TiKiMaN16559d ago (Edited 6559d ago )

No kidding. Criterion is giving this game the royal treatment that it deserves. How I wish all devs would take the time to update their games like this (not just fixes but new content as well).

I wonder what new music tracks will be included with this update.

micro_invader6559d ago

They're adding custom soundtracks and also the ability to play the "classic" music while driving and not just when you're stopped.

pwnsause6559d ago

if in-game xmb does come, i hope that criterion brings an update to make the game work with it

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.

SullysCigar1106d ago

I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.

On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.

NJShadow1105d ago

I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.

EazyC1106d ago

I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.

I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.

BrainSyphoned1106d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL1106d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander19711106d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1755d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381755d ago (Edited 1755d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381755d ago (Edited 1755d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1755d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381755d ago

That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.

Chocoburger1755d ago

I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.

After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.

Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.

ChasterMies1755d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1754d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol
