Burnout Paradise Awards Completed Display Bug Update

If you've downloaded the latest Bikes update for Burnout Paradise, codename Davis, to discover that your awards are missing, fear not. It turns out the game is still aware of your awards, but there is a bug with displaying the correct amount.

The team at Criterion Games is aware of the issue and should be releasing a patch to correct it shortly. Read the original post after the jump.

Wow guys, I didn't know downgraded audio was another side-effect of the latest patch. Thanks for letting me know. If I found out anything about it, I'll be sure update you all!

jay26371d ago

This patch is SERISLY FLAWED. first thebike glitch, now this.

Kolemar6370d ago

The bike crashes are sooo lame.
The rider magically disappears... sometimes its just at reset not even a crash.
When it finally crashes it just looks awful..
the car crashes look so incredible so why do the bikes ones look like McCrap.

shqype6370d ago

I understand what you feel, and I'd like to see realistic crashes for bikes too. But Criterion stated if they showed a person dying in a bike crash, the E rating would rise to perhaps a T rating, and they don't want to make their game unsuitable for all audiences.

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.

SullysCigar1028d 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.

NJShadow1028d 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.

EazyC1028d 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.

BrainSyphoned1028d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1028d ago

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

Einhander19711028d 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_toad1678d ago

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

Flewid6381677d ago (Edited 1677d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381677d ago (Edited 1677d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1678d ago

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

Flewid6381677d 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.

Chocoburger1678d 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.

ChasterMies1678d ago

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

Xenial1677d ago

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