Burnout Paradise - General Discussion & Info / TROPHY HUNTERS WELCOME!

[StrandedBrit]

Well crapola. Pete? Freaky? Sinistar? You guys still interested in playing? Should we have a date change? Will BP die a slow death? Any thoughts would be appreciated (that includes you Randy, Thomas).

EDIT: Thanks for the info Mana.

[bornrunnin31]

I'll give it a go. Can't tonight as I'm packing everything up to be moved tomorrow, but count me in for future nights.

[freakyzeeky]

The only reason I keep on missing these BP nights (I don't like missing BP night) is because of the thread title. It's always says TBA... so I just don't know when you guys play. :cry:

[NamPaehc]

The only reason I keep on missing these BP nights (I don't like missing BP night) is because of the thread title. It's always says TBA... so I just don't know when you guys play. :cry:

Why I can't wait until Home comes out.

I should have a copy tonight so I'll be able to join in later.

[barneygumble]

It just showed up from gamefly so i'd be up for checking out the online stuff. What do i need to do?

[StrandedBrit]

I've PMed Thomaticus to see if we can change the title to say something like 'every thursday'. I guess we won't make tonight official as the title hasn't changed and a few are absent. We'll start proper next week although if you're in the mood tonight just send me a msg on PSN and I'll play!

It just showed up from gamefly so i'd be up for checking out the online stuff. What do i need to do?

Just have one of us on you friends list.

[jonlubbe]

am always down, but have been abnormally busy as of late, hopefully that can subside for a bit soon. (perhaps next week?)

Is anyone down for some challenge action in the next week or so, (I usually work until about nine pst and clear after then) add my psn if you want to get some on when/if i have the time.

[The Mana Knight]

The only reason I keep on missing these BP nights (I don't like missing BP night) is because of the thread title. It's always says TBA... so I just don't know when you guys play. :cry:I told SB the problem that goes on. I'll send you a PSN message, so be sure to check.

I'll tell everyone my master plan, but it may not fully take effect into next week, to bring Burnout night back up.

[Thomas96]

title is now updated!

[pete5883]

Time zone, please. There are lots of 10pms 8-)

[KingBroly]

I rented this game, and just got it, and maybe I'll join someone on it if you guys do something.

[bmachine]

Thursday's are rough...I think I'd rather be playing Unreal at the same time. Maybe I'll alternate weeks?

Why I can't wait until Home comes out.

How will Home resolve this problem?

[StrandedBrit]

Thursday's are rough...I think I'd rather be playing Unreal at the same time. Maybe I'll alternate weeks?

Ain't it so brutha!

Seeing as Paco and others usually start up before the 9:30 time for UT3, I figure I'd do UT3 from 9-10 and then BP from 10-need to go to bed.

That's the plan anyway. :D

[freakyzeeky]

I'll try to be online Thursday to 'Burnout' with you guys... ;)

[StrandedBrit]

Who's up for tonight?

[freakyzeeky]

Me! Me! I'm in for tonight!! :D

[The Mana Knight]

I might play tonight, but there's no guarantee I'll be there (because of someone/something right now).

[FriskyTanuki]

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/08/14/burnout-paradise-coming-to-psn/

Burnout Paradise will be coming to PSN this fall, which is big news since all of the previous games have either been Sony games or third-party games nobody cared about.

[KingBroly]

...damn you to hell, Frisky. Always ruining my thunder.

[pete5883]

Can't, I'm not home :-#

[StrandedBrit]

No one else?

[freakyzeeky]

Good games tonight, even though it was just 3 of us there... we still had fun, right? ;)

Too bad I don't know where my mic is, otherwise you would have heard me 'wooooo-ing' my last win... That race was soooooo close SB! :D:lol:

[bornrunnin31]

next week, I will hopefully be around to play. There will be a next time, right?

[StrandedBrit]

Too bad I don't know where my mic is, otherwise you would have heard me 'wooooo-ing' my last win... That race was soooooo close SB! :D:lol:

Dude, I know you had me all along, but whatever car that was that you get online is fast as all heck. No boost though. There's just one problem ..... it doesn't steer well. :bomb:

BR, yes next week!

[bmachine]

I was going to hop over to Burnout tonight but Matt and I were laying waste to the unwashed masses on UT3. At least that's how I'm tellin' it.

Maybe next week? Or some other night?

[The Mana Knight]

Yes, I will be there at Burnout night next week. I had to go because my room was getting quite hot (all because my Dad refuses to let the AC run) and I was still quite tired from waking up early. Shouldn't be as bad next week.

[cdietschrun]

I want to like this game, but I have no idea what's going on most of the time. I still can't figure out Crash times or whatever the hell it's called, freeburn or whatever. The red street signs. I have no idea where to start or finish for certain times, and I can't seem to crash more than like 4 cars if I ever even know where to crash them. So all I do is go around, trying to get my license up and driving ridiculously fast and then realizing I can't see shit.

[pete5883]

You can't find the end of a street? Just remembered that Up on the D-pad toggles between Road Rules Off, Time, and Showtime. Only start showtime if theres a lot of traffic in front of you to crash into. If you just switch to Time and drive around the upper right side of the map, you're sure to figure out where the end of a street is sooner or later.

[Sinistar]

Does the showtime and road rules and stuff help you win points towards your license?

[pete5883]

No.

[Thomas96]

I feel so bad that I keep missing the Burnout nights... its hard because I get off work at 10pm, and sometime I have to stay in the office till then. Damn I need an iphone so can keep track of things.

[StrandedBrit]

Does the showtime and road rules and stuff help you win points towards your license?

LIke pete said, no .... but they do contribute to the ingame 'awards'.


Which leads me to ask has anyone heard if the upcoming trophies will be like uncharteds where it just uses the ingame awards for trophies, or will they be brand new ones?

[pete5883]

Sounds like it will just be the ingame awards. I don't think any official word has come out.

Any Burnout happening tonight? I've got the sudden urge to try the new online cars.

[Thomas96]

damn I wish this game had trophy support... if I can get off work on time, I'll be there tonight.

[The Mana Knight]

I'd be willing to play if others were.

[StrandedBrit]

I'll be on.

[Zoglog]

I just picked up this game to play around with my G25 wheel...

All I can say is that the wheel support is horrible in this game. It controls like crap and is incredibly inconsistent. Wheel support was obviously an afterthought. Guess i'll still be waiting for GT5 proper for a good usage of my wheel.

[bornrunnin31]

good times tonight. I need more cars though.

[StrandedBrit]

Yeah good times. Maybe more will show up when the bikes update hits.

Where was freaky? :cold:

BR, just put a good few hours into this and you'll have a nice selection of cars.

[pete5883]

Rai-Jin Turbo is kind of cool but not as tough to use as I thought it would be. But since it had no boost I had no chance in the stunt run.

No one else heard Mana VERY LOUD all of a sudden and then back to normal volume? Sounded like bad wiring.

No one else heard Mana VERY LOUD all of a sudden and then back to normal volume? Sounded like bad wiring.I was hearing bornrunnin31 clearly, then he all of a sudden got quieter. I was using a USB headset, but I did not check my in-game volume settings to be honest.

[StrandedBrit]

I was hearing that all night. Pete started off really low, then went to normal later in the game. Mana when low for a while and born did for like 30 secs. I dunno what is going on.

One annoying non-BP related thing is since the last update is that I faintly hear my echo when talking using my BT headset in every game/chat. Very annoying.

[bmachine]

VOIP has been kind of cocked-up across the board for me since the 4.21 FW update...I've had issues in Burnout, GTA4, Haze, and UT3.

It's not exclusive to BT devices, either...I use a USB headset.

[Zoglog]

wow, thank god I bought this game now and not at launch. I can't imagine the torture of being forced to listen to all this crappy emo/teen poprocks music......

The sad thing is I wouldve bought it on Ps3 also just so I could use my G25 wheel with it (which turned out to be total ass anyway).

[pete5883]

You always had the option of turning it off and replacing it with old Burnout soundtracks.

[StrandedBrit]

Anyone have 100% yet in this game not including online?

I'm getting there but there are some things that have impossible written most of the way across them. 20x boost chain is one. Anyone have tips on how to do it? location, cars etc?

[Thomas96]

20x boost chain probably would be best to do on the railroad track areas. You know the bridge where that has the railroad tracks on top (you used the median ramps to jump up on them), those tracks go a long way and theres not that much obstruction.

[pete5883]

Well the only reason I ever got 10x was an online race w/ traffic turned off. If the race is long enough, that might work for 20x too. Even though there's no traffic, you still get a boost boost for driving on the other side of the road. This wouldn't work on the train tracks.

I'm up to 95/96%, but I'll probably stop after finishing the Showtimes. 20x boost chain will drive me nuts.

[The Mana Knight]

To let everyone know, I'll probably play this Thursday, but next Thursday is very liikely since I'm looking at having another online game being played on Thursday at 10pm EST next week (but don't worry, if people don't mind, Burnout will still be played. However, it will be on a different day just for next week. The reason was mentioned in CAG PSN Gaming thread).

[johnnypark]

I just got this with the Sony coupon for GS this week, so hopefully I'll have the time/energy to join you all next week. 10pm is a little late to begin a game for me, but I'm usually up til 11-12 anyway, so I'll probably do it regardless.

[The Mana Knight]

There will probably be a CAG night next week on Friday for Burnout Paradise, since Warhawk is moving to Thursday next week (to celebrate my birthday). I just gotta get the word around.

[FriskyTanuki]

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/08/29/day-and-night-gameplay-for-burnout-paradise/

A big moment in Burnout history is just around the corner.

We’re working flat out to bring you yet another free content pack for Burnout Paradise (http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Games/Burnout_Paradise) – and this one’s the Bike Pack!

If you missed our recent posts (http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/burnout-paradise/), we’re trying something new with downloadable content this year. We want to completely change the game we brought you back in January with regular game changing updates. That means more than just a couple of cars and a new level.

For the first time in a Burnout game, we’re bringing you motorcycles. We’ve already talked about the 2 bikes available from Day 1 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/07/25/burnout-paradise-ps3-update/) and some of the bike-specific gameplay that’s on the way, but there’s more to this pack than that. We’re introducing night time to the streets of Paradise City and with it, some unique gameplay.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3177/2805923267_e4cee1b853.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2805923267/)
When the pack arrives, just head for the nearest Junkyard and pick one of the bikes – either the Nakamura Firehawk V4 or the Nakamura FV1100.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2806772100_d92fb585ca.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2806772100/)
Here’s a map showing Paradise City and all the different events you can try – Race, Road Rage, Marked Man, Burning Route and Stunt Run. For the full run-down on how these work, check out the video on our website (http://www.criteriongames.com/comingsoon/davis.php).

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3236/2805923101_fc6a4531da.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2805923101/)
Selecting one of the bikes triggers a whole load of new gameplay – 70 new challenges, 38 new against-the-clock races (Burning Rides) and new “Road Rules” record times for 64 streets – it’s like a whole new game to play through!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3123/2806772122_8cd4f202f4.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2806772122/)
And if that’s not enough, once the sun sets at 8pm, the game changes.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2805923289_0bc6e8b521.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2805923289/)
The lights on the bike switch on, the traffic thins out creating an all new environment for high speed racing and we trigger some night-specific gameplay – half of the new Burning Rides take place at night and are called Midnight Rides.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/2806772020_ec6ded8149.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2806772020/)
Here’s how the clock works:
From 8pm to 8am it’s night. We figured you’d want to decide how fast this comes around, so we made the clock customizable. You can easily switch between day and night and try out the different gameplay whenever you like. You can also control the speed of change – anything from 24 minutes to real-time (24hrs), if you’re up for an epic session!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/2805923245_27c216661a.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2805923245/)
If you play an online game, we automatically switch all players to the host time, fast forwarding through day or night as necessary. I swear you never get tired of seeing it!

We’ll be back with more next week – our final post before Bikes go live!Some info on the PS Blog about how the bikes work with the night and day gameplay. I like the option to customize how time works, so you can keep it real-time or close to it if you want to focus on night missions.

[bmachine]

Sweet Jesus, that looks like fun! Thanks for posting it, Frisky.

It's a little weird that the bikes have riders but the cars in the game don't have drivers.

[FriskyTanuki]

It would look weird to have bikes without riders, wouldn't it? ;)

[bmachine]

It would look weird to have bikes without riders, wouldn't it? ;)

Yeah, I get it...I just like pointing out inconsistencies when I see them.

It's one of the many services I provide. ;)

[johnnypark]

Anyone up that feels like racing? I'm wide awake and haven't gotten to do any multiplayer yet!

[JMEPO]

Well I just picked it up for 25 bucks new at Gamestop. So far the game is really awesome but my only complaint as of now is that I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM GOING. I will try to start an event but loose it because I get lost. I guess I'm not skilled enough to go West dodge traffic and win the race at the same time but I will deffinatley be playing this one for a while and as I play more I hope I will get better.

Yeah the first several hours are spent memorizing the map layout. Eventually you'll figure out where things are and quick routes to get them.

On a personal note I have all time and crash road rules. The only thing left is 14 more wins on licence which will be a bitch cos they are mostly stunt runs. I left them to the end. :cry:

[pete5883]

Brit, I'll show you my easy stunt run route next time we're on. The hardest part is keeping the stunt run alive long enough to get to the starting point.

[The Mana Knight]

Like I said before, I'll be willing to play Burnout Paradise on Friday this week (Thursday is my Warhawk birthday party). If people want to play sooner, I'll be around Tuesday evening also.

[FriskyTanuki]

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39267.html

New interview on the the bike patch with some gameplay video included, as well.

[mguiddy]

That looks sweet.
I need to install my copy sometime soon.

[StrandedBrit]

Well lads. I finally got my elite license. Took some toughness and caffeine, but I've finally done it. Getting you elite unlocks all the cars' 'gold' paint job. Pretty sweet.

All that's left is 4 awards that i'll probably never get and tons of online challenges. ;)

[Thomas96]

Is it settle that we are going to play this game on Friday?

[QiG]

There's an excellent map on gamefaqs.com for BP that I used while I was learning the city. It shows the streets and intersections that events take place at so it's pretty helpful. This game definitely rocks and pulled me in big time from the start.

[The Mana Knight]

Is it settle that we are going to play this game on Friday?This week I think we will, but I hope others agree upon playing too.

[Snoozer]

Can I play?

[StrandedBrit]

We playing tonight? If so I'm 50/50. Weekend evenings are always hard for me this time of year.

[bmachine]

I haven't played Burnout in a while but I'd be up for some tonight...

[The Mana Knight]

I'll be on most likely tonight.

[bornrunnin31]

I want to play this Thursday, either before or after a hopefully UT3 match.

[KingBroly]

Any idea when the game hits PSN?

[StrandedBrit]

They said fall but that's kinda vague.

So my uneducated guess would be late october/november. Bikes should come this month and then trophies month after, so full packaged version would hit shortly after that .... hell what do I know?

[The Mana Knight]

Tomorrow, I'm looking at having Burnout Paradise.

I'm going to try talking to people to get interests.

[Thomas96]

Tomorrow, I'm looking at having Burnout Paradise.

I'm going to try talking to people to get interests.

I get off work tomorrow around 8pm so most likely I can play... yay!!!
let me know and I'll change the title.

[Zoglog]

wow this game blows completely with a wheel. It's like digital input or something w/ no analog variance. Initial D worked fine w/ the wheel though so I guess it wasn't a total loss.

Game is great on gamepad though.

[freakyzeeky]

Burnout, tomorrow? Hehe, I'm there! :bouncy:

[GodlyOne]

I'll join in on it tomorrow too, gonna be my first time playing any online events in Paradise.

[The Mana Knight]

I'm looking at having Burnout Paradise at 10pm EST maybe, but only for an hour, or I can start as early as 9pm EST, but have it run until 11pm EST (so some can play both this and UT3 IF they want, or just play one or the other, I don't care).

I'm going to be sending PSN messages to people trying to tell them about this.

[The Mana Knight]

I decided to start at 9pm EST today, or that's when I'll be on. People can join throughout (well, I know for sure that's when I'll get some of my friends together).

[KingBroly]

Bikes you say? Why, next week of course!

http://criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=346

[bmachine]

Bikes you say? Why, next week of course!

http://criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=346

That's freakin' awesome news!

So...are the motorcycles "un-crashable"? I remember one of the articles stating that the bike pack focused more on social driving/racing and less on crashing...does that mean that they don't crash at all?

[KingBroly]

No idea. I don't have Burnout Paradise as I'm waiting for the PSN version.

[metaly]

The news that the bike update is going to be free was a surprise to me. Weren't they planning to charge for one of these updates?

I like the sound of the day/night cycle, and the fact that you can choose whether it's real-time or not is extremely cool. I'm really tempted to pick this up.

[bornrunnin31]

sorry i left early and didn't come back last night. we only had 2v2 going on ut3 and it was a lot of fun competing. next time tho . . .

[JMEPO]

That was a lot of fun last night. I will be sure to have my camera next week! Cant wait for trophys and bikes.

[FriskyTanuki]

Bikes can crash, but not like the cars. The biker gets thrown off and everything resets.

It's nice to see that they'll be talking more about trophies next week.

[pete5883]

I would've sworn bikes were still months away.

[FriskyTanuki]

That may have been, a few months ago. ;)

[The Mana Knight]

That may have been, a few months ago. ;)Time flies by so fast.

That was a lot of fun last night. I will be sure to have my camera next week! Cant wait for trophys and bikes.Be sure to have it. I'll remind you. ;)

sorry i left early and didn't come back last night. we only had 2v2 going on ut3 and it was a lot of fun competing. next time tho . . .I understand. We only had 4 also.

[StrandedBrit]

Here's a trailer for those bikes ...

=P~

[StrandedBrit]

So what's the interest for 'Bike' Thursday?

[freakyzeeky]

I will definitely be there for sure... I can't miss seeing the first impressions us CAGs have for these bikes. ;)

[Javery]

I'm thinking of finally pulling the trigger on this. I'm looking at a Burnout Paradise Rock Band 2 trip to GameStop today. Yikes - $$$.

[Sinistar]

So what's the interest for 'Bike' Thursday?


Very high

[Thomas96]

Bikes come out this Thursday?! Damn that would be fucking NICE!!!

[bornrunnin31]

i am a yes for thursday

[FriskyTanuki]

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40159.html

One of the burning ride events for the bikes that has you racing around Paradise City.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40138.html

Night racing with the bikes and some donut-making.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40141.html

Some online play with the bikes at night.

Is there a special time that they're releasing the update?

[freakyzeeky]

Usually, the Burnout updates happen at around 3am EST/12am PST... So only a mere 3 hours or so away. :)

The Cagney update was supposed to be released at around the aforementioned time, but was actually released 30 mins later for some reason. :-k

EDIT: I just found out the update will come out around 5am EST/2am PST... My bad! :x

[StrandedBrit]

Yeah it's live. Downloading!

EDIT: 154MB and sailing!

[FriskyTanuki]

My first bit of weather in Paradise City was fog that rolled into town as I was looking for super jumps, which isn't helping.

[pete5883]

So you don't see anything when you crash into the wall? That's actually nice, as I was tired of having to watch my death repeatedly.

[FriskyTanuki]

The female biker is certainly well-endowed.

Did I read the one burnout award right in that you must play the game for 24 hours straight on the 24 hour day/night cycle setting? Or does it need you to just play through one entire day at any setting?

[StrandedBrit]

There are new awards?

EDIT: NM, I just read up. 20 new awards huh!?

[The Mana Knight]

So you don't see anything when you crash into the wall? That's actually nice, as I was tired of having to watch my death repeatedly.That's true, because I hit walls and nothing.

[GodlyOne]

I'm going to go grab the bike update right now, I wonder why the PS3 updates are smaller than the 360's.

[bornrunnin31]

Sometimes if you crash and skid it will show the bike slide down the road on its side, but if you head straight into a wall it will just disappear.

I'm liking the bikes tho, its fun to weave in and out of traffic without worrying about crashing into as much.

[KingBroly]

The sooner they bring this out on PSN the better. I don't care if they need to patch in trophies.

[GodlyOne]

Cruising around on a motorbike is fun, just makes me crave a current-gen Road Rash though....

[NamPaehc]

Cruising around on a motorbike is fun, just makes me crave a current-gen Road Rash though....

I had the same thought while I was playing this too.

[bmachine]

I forgot about this! Need to go download it now.

StrandedBrit: what time did you have in mind for tonight's event?

[freakyzeeky]

I would like to know this as well SB, what time? ;)

[The Mana Knight]

I'll probably get on at 9pm EST and be on for a bit.

[Sinistar]

I was playing for a bit.. I like the bikes.. I was gonna hop online but I didnt see any of you guys on, and plus my PS3 bluetooth devices froze again, so I just shut off the PS3.. I'll be on in a bit after dinner to see if you guys are playing so we can try some of these challenges :)

[StrandedBrit]

I'll be on a little after 9pm I think.

[The Mana Knight]

I'll be on right now. I'll invite some as I see them.

[bmachine]

I've been lured away with the promise of sushi. If anyone's still playing later I'll hop on!

[freakyzeeky]

I'm loving the bikes y'all! :D

Although I do wish we could actually race with them, since, you know, it's a racing game and all... :cry:

[The Mana Knight]

I'm loving the bikes y'all! :D

Although I do wish we could actually race with them, since, you know, it's a racing game and all... :cry:Yeah, I like bikes too, but I wish we could race.

[metaly]

You can't race the bikes? :-s

[freakyzeeky]

You can't race the bikes? :-s

No, you can't... :O

[Thomas96]

Good game tonight guys!

[freakyzeeky]

Good game tonight guys!
Yup, yup! :D

[JMEPO]

Good game guys, Sorry for taking around eight hours to get to the red dot :p

[Sinistar]

Anyone know how to unlock the other two bikes?

[KingBroly]

So is it possible to install the game to the hard drive optionally? Or is it 100% streaming all the time?

[pete5883]

There's "no load screens," so not sure how installation would help.

[KingBroly]

It'd help my disc drive.

Anyone know how to unlock the other two bikes?

I know you get one from getting 50% complete on your license (did that last night). I bet the other bike comes when you get 100%.

But yeah, I think the bikes update is really cool. Driving at night makes the game really interesting. I agree with Mana Knight - it would be awesome if you could race, but maybe they will add that in later. Who knows? I mean, they added in all of this great stuff that went beyond my expectations, especially for free.

[Ravenous]

I bought the game today and it told me it had to update so I said okay. Now the screen has been black for about 5 minuntes. Is that normal?

[pete5883]

Did it ever start downloading? No, its not normal.

[Ravenous]

I waited about 20 mins and it stayed black. Than I ejected it and the menu screen never came up. I had to shut off the PS3 with the switch and reboot it. I than put the game in again and it went through the loads and actually went to a downloading screen. I wonder if it was the game or the PS3?

Sounds like a random freeze.

[m_d_amore]

it took me several tries to get the dl i kept getting to like 3% and stopping i shut off the media server thing then it worked like a charm

[johnnypark]

Yeah, I like bikes too, but I wish we could race.

Whaaat? All of this hype for the bikes update and they can't race, not even online? I thought that was the main point of putting them in?

I'll admit I kind of like the city checkpoints (like the races in GTA3 and up, though I'm sure that's not the only series to use them) for time races, I was disappointed the actual car races always just had point A to point B, every time. After awhile it starts to feel repetitive.

[KingBroly]

I don't really have a problem with no Bike racing. Maybe it'll come in a later update (Bikes v. Cars maybe?), but I still want the PSN version to come out soon.

It doesn't come with it, but it's being released on the same day to everyone that has the game.

Now that's a lot of trophies, 64 of them:
http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/09/22/trophies-burnout-paradise/

[StrandedBrit]

Wow. Those trophies are a lot easier than the actual in-game awards. I figure I've already got most of them if they truely are retro.

He's for some trophy nights to come. :beer:

[mwynn]

Anyone else unable to select cars, my game freezes everytime. I can select bikes and not cars.

[pete5883]

I don't see how "Visit the Airfield" would be a retroactive trophy. Why would the game be keeping track of whether you visited the airfield or not before this patch? I think they probably said they'd be retroactive when the trophies were going to mirror the Burnout rewards, but maybe changed their minds?

Also, whenever I complete a Bike event, the license that shows up on my screen is black and has the "100% complete" stamp on it. On the pause menu, the correct "Learner's License" is shown. This happen to anybody else?

[fuss]

I hope to God that at least most f these are retro. Some that I doubt can be retro are easy to get - but I put so much time into this game that I really do ot want to re-do EVERYTHING.

But it looks like after not playing it for some time I will have to dust off the game and play it again - and play it online wiht my fellow CAGers :)

Doesn't the airfield have a couple of gates to crash through to get in? Maybe it keeps track of those???

Yeah I had that happen with my bike license too.

[Dr. Strangepork]

Looks like I'm finally getting Burnout again this week if it's shareable. Color me excited.


Good q. How does one find out if it is sharable?

[StrandedBrit]

Good q. How does one find out if it is sharable?

When you click on the game description in the store it'll say so. Infact there isn't anything that isn't shareable in the store right now. The only 2 titles with restrictions are warhawk and gt5p which can only be played on an account 24 hours after last played on a different account (sounds weird but read the description in the store).

In any case if the description mentions something about 24 hours then it's not likely anyone will want to share it.

If it doesn't then woohoo!

[Costa]

can you play 2 player split-screen? my son loved the other burnout and now with bikes hope you can play SS, also can motorstorm have SS as well?

[StrandedBrit]

can you play 2 player split-screen? my son loved the other burnout and now with bikes hope you can play SS, also can motorstorm have SS as well?

Nope and Nope.

But Motorstorm Pacifit Rift will have slip screen play so maybe that's your best bet.

[Costa]

that blows no ss for burnout, no buy for me, thanks strandedbrit

[pete5883]

Doesn't the airfield have a couple of gates to crash through to get in? Maybe it keeps track of those???

Yeah I had that happen with my bike license too.

It's been so long, I can't remember if there ever were gates there. I guess it's safe to assume there were. I reported the bike license bug and they apparently fixed it, so I guess it'll be in the next update? Though I'll probably be at 100% by then anyway.

Good q. How does one find out if it is sharable?
Warhawk and gt5p are the only ones not shareable but they're also pretty much the only games over $15, right? So I would guess this will not be shareable.

[OatmealMu]

Heh, I'm in a game right now and someone's driving around a platinum-colored truck that drives/sounds like a bike. For all I know they're talking about how the glitch works but they're Japanese.

[noahj]

i have tried and tried to get the update but i constantly get an error message after it hangs at 2% for 5 minutes or more.

anyone else seen this or know how to fix it? been trying to update for days now :(

[yohsh]

A friend of mine has also had this problem. may be your internet connection. Hopefully they fix it with the update on Thursday. (today!) You could try deleting the updates and re downloading everything if you cant get it to work.

Anyone downloading burnout the full game. Any idea of how big it is? I think I might get it and give the disc to a friend or family member.

[KingBroly]

The Trophy Patch has hit Europe. It's only a matter of time until it hits the US.

EDIT: Yeah, it's out...and not(?) retroactive?

[hone]

yeah it isn't retroactive like they said. Quote criterion site:
"Burnout Paradise saves are locked to your profile. We had hoped to use this to retroactively award trophies, but we discovered during testing that this is not possible. You will therefore require a fresh game-save to receive trophies in Burnout Paradise. If you're familiar with PS3 trophies already, you'll recognise that this works in the same way as all other games that have added trophy support post-release."

[StrandedBrit]

Bullshit.

[pete5883]

Bullshit.

[johnnypark]

That's fine for people who haven't ever played it or are downloading it off PSN for the 1st time, but that's complete and utter crap considering they've had in-game challenges that the game acknowledges, giving players an incentive to seek that kind of crap out.

So... this means that if you have a B class license you'll be awarded a trophy for getting your A, but never for any previous licenses? That's ridiculous. And with one save per profile, that effectively means you have to delete all your progress just to earn trophies.

And since they have bike trophies... why the fuck would they put out the bike update 1 week before the trophies? That's just punishing people who already did a lot with the bikes update.

Ultimately, I guess it's Sony's fault for A) not doing any of the trophies sooner/at launch, and B) not making the dev kits allow for retroactive trophies (as it seems every game that's gotten them post-release isn't able to retroactively award them, or am I wrong?)

Either way...

Bullshit.

You said it.

You said it.

I think sony said retroactive trophies weren't possible

[KingBroly]

But Criterion promised they'd be retroactive many, many moons ago.

[pete5883]

They obviously spoke too soon.

And with one save per profile, that effectively means you have to delete all your progress just to earn trophies.

I remember CG covered this in one of their podcasts a long time ago: I think you can make a new game save without affecting your old one by making a new local user account (leftmost option on the XMB.) I think all users have their save games stored separately.

This.

Makes no sense what so ever. Delay the bike pack a week, no biggie.

[Oxygen]

Or you can back up your existing save to a USB drive or hard drive or other external storage device, delete it, and start over. Then after you are done getting the trophies, delete the new save, and bring your old one back over. The trophies are stored on Sony's servers (not in the save file for the game).

[johnnypark]

As far as making a new profile... that defeats the point, since the trophies would then be linked to the new profile and not your main PSN ID/profile.

Really? They aren't attached to the save game, at all? I guess that makes sense if your hard drive crashed or a save file corrupted, you don't lose your history for past successes.
That makes me slightly more willing to start over temporarily. But still... what a load of crap.

[FriskyTanuki]

I've played through the game twice, so a third time's not going to kill me, especially with a rather weak racing lineup for this fall.

Yeah - if they were attached to the save game, I could borrow your save game and get the same trophies you have. This is probably part of the reason Sony said in the Firmware 2.4 FAQ that retroactive trophies are generally impossible. I think the reason some of the Warhawk trophies were retroactive (the rank ones) is because that type of information is stored on the Warhawk servers. It could be that your Burnout license info is not stored anywhere on Criterion's servers, so those have to be redone.

That does not explain why the stuff for smashes, billboards, and road rules could not have been done retroactively. Perhaps to get trophies working at all, they needed a fresh save file (and that might be a limitation having to do with the PS3 SDK).

I would be cool with the non-retroactive trophies if you did not have to start over again, but in the grand scheme, it does not really matter. No one is forcing anyone to get the trophies, and if it is not worth it to go back and get them, then that is a personal decision.

I understand that Criterion could have been more forthcoming with the fact that the trophies are non-retroactive, but what is done is done. There have been a lot of people saying that they are going to trade in the game, never play again, blah blah blah, and that is their prerogative, and their loss, in my opinion. I am looking forward to the other DLC Criterion has planned, like Islands. This trophies thing is a bump in the road, and not a complete show stopper.

[johnnypark]

Never playing again is just lame. Criterion has shown endless support for this title and offered upgrades that other developers/etc would charge a lot for. The fact that they even bothered to update ANYTHING is wonderful, let alone new content, online modes, etc on almost a monthly basis (including small things like improved 480i/p support!). It strikes me as way more of a limitation on Sony's end, which ultimately means they just should have announced it a long time ago.

And I stand by what I said about the bike patch coming out too early. That's the only real inexcusable thing they've done regarding the trophy situation. Everything else... not so much.

[GodlyOne]

I always thought something would go wrong with the trophy update so I pushed off playing Burnout Paradise until the trophy patch hit, just won a couple of races and drove around on the bikes. It's a kick to the balls to whoever put so many hours into Paradise but it shouldn't be too bad since it's still a fun game.

Yeah I did the same thing, put it down until now.

[KingBroly]

The game is up on PSN for those interested.

[Psykodelik]

I agree...why release the bike pack first if criterion cant do retroactive trophies. For the retroactive...if it's impossible, look at "manichi isshyo". I know it's a not a "game" per se...but the trophies are retroactive.

[FriskyTanuki]

So what's the preferred method to starting fresh without trashing my progress from before? Copy the save over to another user then delete it from my profile and boot the game up?

[Psykodelik]

That's pretty much it...i have my game save...but there's still no trophy update as we speak. Eventhough criterion says it's "live" the update to get the trophies are not.

[KingBroly]

Well, it supposedly came out early this morning, and was pulled in the US. Might've been pulled everywhere, too. Sony might've gotten some people in there to help resolve this.

I already deleted my retail game save (I had like 2 races done, 2 car takedowns, so no biggie), but it probably wouldn't have worked on the PSN version anyway.

[freakyzeeky]

Trophies are now actually live! :D
Go! Go! Go!

[KingBroly]

So my PSN download FINALLY completed, and I stopped playing after about 30 minutes because I had to torture myself to watch that On the Spot crap for a LBP beta key.

[Sinistar]

I'm debating whether or not to start my game over to get all the trophies. :(

[freakyzeeky]

I'm debating whether or not to start my game over to get all the trophies. :(

I did... just for the heck of it. I think I now have about twenty of these trophies so far. ;)

[GodlyOne]

I've held off playing Paradise for a while now, the speed.....the trophies....I'm hooked. Didn't want to stop driving around :drool: :lol:

[KingBroly]

I've just been kinda screwing around on the bikes, not doing any of the races.

[pete5883]

Backup up my file and started again. Blah.

[KingBroly]

I earned about 16 trophies in an hour or so, 15 minutes of that being online. Online is really fun, but needs some cooperation.

[orko60]

I earned about 16 trophies in an hour or so, 15 minutes of that being online. Online is really fun, but needs some cooperation.

A lot of times when we all have to meet somewhere, there's one dumbass fucking around in some remote area. Otherwise the online is great.

[snakelda]

I love the bikes.Pretty cool too.So no Retroactive trophies?

[KingBroly]

A lot of times when we all have to meet somewhere, there's one dumbass fucking around in some remote area. Otherwise the online is great.

Ran into that situation myself actually.

[snakelda]

Has anyone found this glitch yet?Every time I bump into a wall straight head on but not fast,it gets stuck on the wall and I can't get "unstuck".It's annoying since I can only unstuck myself by quitting the game.Otherwise,I'm loving this game again.I backed up my file and started a new one.

[Psykodelik]

I caved in and saved my old game...if there's a plan for a cag night...this one would prolly peak my interest for a while. Just need to know if it's going to be cars or bikes...heh I dont have jack on my cars but I have all the bikes again.

[KingBroly]

Not any particular glitches that I can speak of just yet, although I plan on turning up the brightness for the nighttime events, especially ones that send me up through the Mountains. I lost a race because of that. Good thing there was an event right there which led me back to the city.

I have...25 trophies so far. They're kinda just happening for me for the most part. I tried the online out a bit, and it's really fun. I've probably put...3 hours into it, and I'm really enjoying it thus far.

[orko60]

I'm not sure it it's a good thing or a bad thing that the trophies just sort of "happen." You don't really have to do anything goofy except play the game. They just keep popping up; I love it!

KingBroly, I sent you a friend request. Add me and we can play (Zackiechan)

lol,yeah I did a race and it gave me a trophy.

[freakyzeeky]

This game mixed with trophies is like a drug... WAY too addicting. =P~

[cdietschrun]

I agree. I got 21% of trophies last night and stayed up much too late, not caring.

[johnnypark]

They really ARE addicting.

What's ironic is that I had about 194 smashed yellow roadblocks, and got my trophy for 200 of them, but don't get the trophies for 10 or 50 of them. Argh!

[pete5883]

I spent 3 hours playing last night and got 25% of the trophies. Thank god you, for the most part, don't have to get everything to get all the trophies.

[pete5883]

So when are we going to get these online trophies? 8 people in wildcats stadium :bomb:

[KingBroly]

I got that one last night :)

Although I need 10 miles in a bike with 8 people on.

[johnnypark]

I'm down for setting up a trophy-centric online game, and of course to race and have fun, too.

[StrandedBrit]

Although I need 10 miles in a bike with 8 people on.

That one isn't too hard. All you need to do is go online in a 8 player game and just ride like the wind. Fairly easy to ride 10 miles.

Agreed though. We need a burnout night.

[cdietschrun]

I would like to play for some trophies too.

[The Mana Knight]

That one isn't too hard. All you need to do is go online in a 8 player game and just ride like the wind. Fairly easy to ride 10 miles.

Agreed though. We need a burnout night.It will be next week. We might do Tuesday and Thursday until Wipeout gets patched.

[GodlyOne]

I wish that there was an option to turn off the fog cause it's constantly foggy.

[sunnysky]

Has anybody picked up the game from PSN yet?

[hone]

I have

[KingBroly]

Me too

Note: If you played the retail version before the PSN version, and have a save file, that save file won't work with the PSN version and vice versa.

[pete5883]

I never realized it would be so hard to get 10 lousy freeburn challenges. Took like an hour. Games I join don't want to just do a couple easy ones, when I invite people they don't join, and when I make an open game no one joins for half an hour.

[KingBroly]

Can someone fill me in on freeburn challenges

[pete5883]

When you're online, someone starts a challenge, something like "everyone do a jump" or "everyone crash into each other while flying off a bridge."

Read earlier on the Criterion Boards that you don't necessarily need to make a new save to get trophies. For instance, if the trophy is "win a race," you can do that with your existing save, because you can win a race any time. If it is "win 1 race," then you'd need a new file because you only win your first race once. That should make the bike trophies easier for me, as I was already well on my way to 100%.

Do the 10 freeburn challenges have to be completed in one game or just over multiple sittings?

[pete5883]

They don't all have to be done at once.

I'm up for Burnout today. I have no mic but I follow directions well.

Is the motorcycle patch already included in the PSN download?

Yes but not the trophy patch. You will be prompted for trophy path when you boot the game.

Is there any easy was to get from the area all the way out west to the main city. I was playing with the bike a bit and found things that landed me out there but then nothing to take me back to town (a bunch seemed to be night only).

It's also really cool how it shows when people on your friends list complete races and stuff. Is that real time, or does it just display them somewhat randomly?

[hone]

it's semi real time. all stats get uploaded to the criterion bp servers and then you get updates periodically in batches.

Should we start a new thread for this game now that the online version is out and lot more people have it? I don't think the OP is ever around to update the title if we want to get some online going.

Go for it!:bouncy:

Is night much to dark for anyone else?

Glad to have the game again though. Shame I sold it in the first place.

[The Mana Knight]

Anything directed towards CAG nights or getting together with other CAGs online, please post in this thread from now on:

I had problems with it too. I set the brightness up to 55/56 and I have no problems with it now. It might be a bit too bright, though.

I was around... no one mentioned any new dates to me. oh well new thread started.

So has anybody done a comparison between the visuals on the Disc version vs the PSN version?
It's hard to imagine how a 3.3gb PSN download can look as good as a blu-ray. regardless of how well the PSN version is compressed.
I hope I'm wrong. I'd rather have the PSN version.

Although visually it looks identical, I've had a few occasions of slow down (nothing significant) on the psn version and for the life of me I never encountered that in the disc version.

There's gotta be less in there than the disc version but what was cut if anything I don't know.

I've had the opposite. When I originally played the disc version the game would stop and go gray while it loaded. Haven't had that problem here. Might be a disc read speed vs. hdd read speed thing here. But it looks identical from what I remember (not including bikes, of course).

[hone]

I can't imagine them cutting all too much. I'm pretty sure it's the same game. Just b/c it's on BR doesn't mean they have to fill the whole disk. The city recycles a lot of textures which usually amount to lots of space taken up on a disc. Any cross platform game must fit on at most 1-2 DVDs due to the 360. Most ps3 games unless it's an exclusive or the forthcoming Rage will not take advantage of the space offered on the BR disc.

The only thing I've seen cut is that all the preorder cars aren't available anymore. 75 vs. 79 total vehicles. There's no option to enter the code. The car data must still be in the game in case someone online uses it.

[freakyzeeky]

I got all the trophys y'all! :D

[Psykodelik]

heh nice, I think I'm at 65% atm. I stopped playing today because well I've been playing it all this week. Even before the trophies came out. Hehe hone could vouch for that...btw hone I'm going to take my roads back :lol:. I need to complete the online trophy part so I'm game whenever.

[KingBroly]

The only trophies I can't figure out how to do are the 2x and 4x Boost Chain ones. I have no idea how to initiate those.

I haven't done many events (I'm still on a C license atm) but I have 43 of the 64 Trophies.

[FriskyTanuki]

You have to do those with speed cars.

I haven't done many events (I'm still on a C license atm) but I have 43 of the 64 Trophies.Okay,get a "Speed" car and when your boost is full, press X and don't let go and you can only use it in one go and then when it is over, it will let you do it again and it's called a Burnout when you do this and when you keep doing this over and over,it's a burnout chain.

[QiG]

Just popped this in again for the first time since the big update a few months ago. WOW am I impressed with the support for this game after release. I didn't realize how much fun online was when you're doing challenges as a team. Kudos to Criterion.. they just brought a 9 month old game back into my rotation.

[StrandedBrit]

Could be and in that case both games look and play identical. Well done to criteron for squeezing all that into 3 gigs.

[Ravenous]

Can I play MP3s while driving by transfering them with a USB drive? Itd be neat to add my own songs to the mix.

[Mojimbo]

Yeah, once they are on your PS3 hard drive you can access them in-game by pressing right on the d-pad and scrolling all the way down to soundtrack. You can skip tracks by pressing R1.

Awesome! Thanks for the info man. Worked like a charm. Though I had to look up how to find the MP3s on the thumb drive.

Can I also listen to my songs while playing MotorStorm?

[pete5883]

No. Games have to specifically implement the feature. Motorstorm 2, though, probably.
