Burnout Paradise Getting New DLC Bundle Prices

Now that Criterion Games has finished producing downloadable content for Burnout Paradise, they're going to start lowering the price. They intend to sell bundles of the DLC on the cheap.

I only have whats on the disc but I would love to get all the DLC

Motion5962d ago (Edited 5962d ago )

I have this game for PC, and honestly, I didn't really care for the way the handled the DLC. They patched the original game, so that all the DLC shows up on the menu, but then if you try to play it, you are told to go buy it. If I haven't purchased the DLC to a game, it shouldn't show up on the main menu. It really gave you the overall impression of playing an unfinished game. I know, they have to advertise it somehow, but this just seemed a little tactless to me.

On a side note though, this is an awesome game, and I've been debating buying the whole schebang again on PS3 for the multiplayer games. Lowering the prices may convince me to do that.

Edit:Sorry, wasn't supposed to be a reply...too late now though

EvilCackle5962d ago

As long as the base game itself is big enough to justify a purchase, I don't mind a company plugging their DLC in-game. Lot easier to reach the less hardcore fans who don't browse gaming news sites or Xbox Live/PSN.

FamilyGuy5962d ago

It makes you feel like you're playing a demo with content locked off like that. Note that if you buy the PS3 version for multi-player the LOCAL multi-player wasn't included at launch and currently cost $10 as DLC. It should hopefully be around $5 after this price though.

Charging for a local 2 player mode in a racing game is the shadiest thing i've seen when it comes to DLC. Content already on the disc doesn't even compare since this game should NEVER have shipped without a local multi-player option.

I cannot wait to hear what Criterion is doing next.

ThatArtGuy5962d ago

EA had them take over the NFS franchise.

TheIneffableBob5962d ago (Edited 5962d ago )

New Need for Speed game.

just got the platinum trophy for it today. I have all the DLC for it already but hopefully their new pricing entices some more people to pick up the DLC as Criterion gave Burnout players alot of things for free through patches that they could of sold as DLC, bikes for example.

W S K5962d ago

i just bought all the DLC (except the toy cars) one month ago :\

maybe i can get them cheaper now (was not totally convinced to buy it for 630 M$ points)

Burnout still RAWKS!!! :D

SixTwoTwo5962d ago

They should just re-release it with all the DLC on the disc.

PirateThom5962d ago

They did, Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box.

Motion5962d ago

I have ultimate box, it doesnt' have all the DLC. It comes with the 2 player local multiplayer and the bikes. Doesn't have they toy cars or some of the supercars, or the additional island area they added.

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.

SullysCigar1108d 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.

NJShadow1107d 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.

EazyC1108d 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.

BrainSyphoned1108d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1108d ago

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

Einhander19711108d 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_toad1757d ago

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

Flewid6381757d ago (Edited 1757d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381757d ago (Edited 1757d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1757d ago

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

Flewid6381757d 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.

Chocoburger1757d 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.

ChasterMies1757d ago

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

Xenial1757d ago

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