Welcome to the home of the true addicts!

In todays Live podcast Alex Ward announced that they will add motorbikes to Burnout Paradise.  It looks like motorbikes will be included in the Davis update which is scheduled for August 2008.

Here is the announcement from Criterion Games:

Have you noticed that Burnout Paradise has gotten a bit jerky after the Bogart update was applied on the XBox 360? Here is what the Burnout Team has to say about it:

This morning Burnout Paradise version 1.2 (codename: Bogart) was released to XBOX 360 users. All you have to do to get the update is sign in to XBox Live and load Burnout Paradise. The update will then auto download.

PS3 users will have to wait another 5 days for the update.

The update contains fixes and improvements and no extra content.

Here is a list of some of the changes:

Here are the videos that shows the continuation of the Dust Storm’s journey out of Paradise City and into the first of the new locations.  Criterion Games have not revealed anything about what kind of gameplay we will see on this island but to me this looks like a really good race track  and the bridge is great for stunts.

Criterion have put up more details on how to get a race that you have designed into the new Paradise Drives.

Got a great race route? We will put it in the game!

There are only 7 start points to choose from, and they are especially looking for routes which are quick and easy to understand, have alternative routes, are battlers or make use of the jumps and shortcuts. 

Try to be original as another aspect being judged is the road less travelled.

A couple of weeks ago Criterion Games revealed the first images of the awsome Dust Storm offroad car. At the same time they also dropped a hint about one of the new incredible locations in Paradise City.

On Friday 04-04-2008 Criterion Games will reveal the first images of one of the new locations showing how it's all coming together. Be sure to check out www.CriterionGames.com for the latest news.

Criterion Games have announced some changes on the way in a future update in Crash FM episode 25.

Update 1.3 or "Cagney" will include major changes to game play in the open world and a complete overhaul of ranked races online.

Freeburn Game Modes

There will be more challenges added and these will have a timed element to them. As well as new challenges 3 major new game modes will also be introduced:

The Burnout Paradise Interactive Map has made its way to the PSP!  There were some Flash versioning kinks that still had to be worked out, but after that I was able to address the memory issues.
