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

[Thomas96]

How was the Burnout Paradise demo, did you enjoy it? Is it a day one purchase?
If you played both the 360 and PS3 Demo(s) which one did you enjoy most.
Since I got both systems, I might ive both a whirl and see if another PS3 game is inferior to the 360 version.

It was supposedly designed on the PS3 so I'd imagine it's a little better graphically and possibly framerate. I can't imagine the online experience being anywhere near as good though if it's not seamless (maybe it is - I don't know).

[lbradeen]

Didn't get that much time in with it because UT3 kept calling me but I definitely enjoyed it. For some reason i was having trouble finding secrets before I passed them. Could be that I was a little inebriated and it's easier stone sober. I don't have any ps3 friends so I didn't get to try out multiplayer though the description of it seemed like it could be a lot of fun. I'll play the demo some more this weekend but right now it's looking like I'm going to wait for it to be $35 or so before I pick it up.

[Thomas96]

If they could just put a dodge charger in the game... I'd be straight.

[lbradeen]

As to the comparisons between systems. I saw something earlier today that said the PS3 version looks shinier but the 360 has rumble (obviously). Nothing too shocking there.

[knightsdwn]

I liked the multiplayer aspect of it. Managed to play with ManaKnight and some other random folk for a good 30 minutes or so. Had a blast trying to kill each other and topping each of our top jumps, air time, etc.

Will definitely pick this up when it is released on January 22nd... sucks though that the date coincides with the first day of Spring semester :cry:

[StrandedBrit]

http://www.ps3attitude.com/2007/12/more-to-come-from-burnout-paradise-demo.html

"In what could be seen as a trend (and a very welcome one at that), Burnout Paradise is another demo that will feature additional content as we get closer to the January launch date.

In a similar vein, Burnout Paradise will feature new challenges and races as time moves closer to launch date.

A great incentive to leave the demo on your hard drive and keep coming back to it to see what's new.

To keep a check on what is coming, just hit the right button and choose 'news' from the menu anywhere in the game."

[Pootie Thang]

This game is absolutely amazing. I am definitely getting it when it releases

[whoknows]

I wasn't impressed. The open world aspect is quite meh and I wish it didn't have it. Not a day 1 purchase for me, I'm sure I'll find something more worthy to buy.

Getting online worked great though, but was boring since I didn't really know if you could actually race and stuff.

[H.Cornerstone]

This game IIRC will run better on the PS3 because Criterion likes the PS3 and the way it works.

[Sinistar]

I had fun messing around in the demo for about an hour.. there were a couple of jumps I had a hard time making (the small ones you are suppose to go then break right before you hit the ramp and roll sideways)
Overall the game is pretty fun, I will buy it, not sure if day one or not.. I tried playing in sixasis mode and not very responsive so I went back to "regular" mode.

I tried one of the online modes, and it worked for about 2 minutes then my PS3 froze.. first time it ever happend as I never played online before or if it was the demo or whatever. I'll gice it a go some more this weekend. Add me to your friends list if you want. :)

[linkmon]

If they could just put a dodge charger in the game... I'd be straight.

So you're gay?? LOL....just kidding couldn't resist.....

The demo was great I thought!!

[Nephlabobo]

As to the comparisons between systems. I saw something earlier today that said the PS3 version looks shinier but the 360 has rumble (obviously). Nothing too shocking there.

i have rumble. :D
it's fun but i get bored with burnout games quickly.
also too many ingame ads. no purchase for me.

[Thomas96]

This game needs in game soundtracks. The fact that the PSN bowling game has ingame music, lets me know that EA needs to include that for the ps3 version. Or at least add a component that allows you to add music to game's set of music. But I think I might get this day one. I've never been a big fan of burnout, but I like the open world. The portion of the city reminds me of Need for Speed Underground.. but in the daytime. I hope there's real time day and night changes.

[knightsdwn]

The method in inviting friends to join your game is a bit cumbersome. The 4 player maximum is always filled up as soon as you create a game so friends trying to get in will have to wait for someone to drop out. You'll need to set up the game to "Friends Only" or "Invite Only" so random people don't get in your game. Hopefully these kinks will be ironed out.

On that note, I couldn't join Pootie Thang's games because the max number of players were always full. Sorry :cry:

[Furashu]

i just kept purposely crashing my car...
oh the insurance *shivers*

[freakyzeeky]

I loved the demo... Now I can drive like Britney Spears y'all! :lol:

[pete5883]

Loved Burnout: Takedown, not impressed by the demo. I went online into a game with 3 other people, but I drove around for a while and never actually saw any of them. So I couldn't interact with anyone, couldn't understand what anyone was saying over their microphone, and couldn't race. Which is pretty much a recipe for boredom. Is it even possible to beat that Stunt challenge? There aren't enough jumps around.

[dpatel]

As far as demos goes, this one is fantastic. I was expecting a time limit on this, since it sorta had a sandbox type style to it, but was playing online for a good 15 minutes with no problems.

As for the game itself, the open world style has its pros and cons. It works great for online. I was having a lot of fun just trying to 'takedown' the other cars. I didn't really play enough to see what sorta modes were available. I'm guessing everything is just set up through the world, so, if you want to race someone, you've got to do it within the city, without being moved to an official track with a start and stop point. I'm hoping the game still has a crash mode, as that was one of my favorite points of the older games. I'm also glad car checking is gone (one of the later burnouts of last gen had it, where you hit a car going the same way as you from behind and it just shoves the car away, instead of you crashing and burning). Anyway, I was never really into the series that much, but I MAY pick this one up on the cheap. Seems like a fun pick up and play game, but nothing beyond that.

I realized you can kick people if you're the host of the game which is cool. I ended up playing with my brother for an hour last night

[Mechafenris]

So I couldn't interact with anyone, couldn't understand what anyone was saying over their microphone, and couldn't race. Which is pretty much a recipe for boredom. Is it even possible to beat that Stunt challenge? There aren't enough jumps around.

It took me a bit to find the "jump areas"... (I went through some construction zone and found quite a few jumps), but I think it's doable once you get to certain areas of the city. The main thoroughfare (for lack of a better name) had few jumps and were spaced quite a ways apart. I couldn't find much of anything to jump around there. Racing was a bit odd... because the DJ would tell you where one was starting up, but usually, I wasn't near there and didn't get to the race in time. Though, at a red light, you could race other people by doing a power-brake burnout, I think. I didn't try that though. Even with the restricted movement of the demo, the game's world is very big (or at least it seemed so) so I can see where people would get lost trying to find each other in an online contest. (I'm sure there's an easier way... but I imagine it'll take time to learn the city first.)

I was initially cool to the idea of a giant sandbox, mainly because I liked the "race" modes of the previous Burnout. You didn't travel anywhere, which streamlined the racing, but at the same time, you spent many races going back through to get a feel for the particular track (at least early on), which could get too repetitive for some people. In this large cityscape, though, you can practice, find secret routes, do some stunts, and generally get an edge on the competition if you want _before_ you race. I think that'll make Burnout have much more engaging gameplay than previous versions. The open-endedness of the game will make it seem less repetitive too.

I really enjoyed the more realistic crashing in Paradise as well. I didn't think I would the first couple of times I smacked the rear-end of another car and totaled mine, but strategic swiping and nudging of cars got very addicting while moving about the city. It added a new dimension to wrecking that you didn't get in the last one. Not to mention the cars looked so neat as you began to demolish them.

[Starky27]

Played the demo for about 2 hours total so far, greatly enjoy the aspect of an entire city to race through with or without goals. I did notice that the online mode does seem to have a ghost bug in it where every now and then someone would join the game but not actually appear on the map or onscreen, but they could still wreck you.

So far the thing that wowed me the most was the 'Hot Tin Roof' jump from the parking garage to warehouse roof. If there's hidden little jumps and tricks like this scattered throughout the game, I'll be happy.

[Kendal]

I felt lost and couldn't read much on my SDTV. Hopefully I will be able to make the jump into HD. The driving was good and the chameleon paint was sweet. I am going to with hold judgement before giving it a chance to sink in.

[Blackout]

Yeah me too, couldn't read a thing on my t.v. I take it this isn't a problem with an HDTV? I'll have to rent the game when it comes out because I really wasn't into the demo, but I'm going to play it again to see if I can change my mind.

[knightsdwn]

I take it this isn't a problem with an HDTV?

It's crystal clear on my HD monitor and HDTV. Cars are a little bit to shiny though...

[TripleTags]

I for one dont like being thrown into things especially given the fact that there are so many games out there to jump from that when i get into a title that doesnt hand hold me for a bit i get confused.

This game is definitely a day one purchase if you like crashing into shit but might be to open for the casual drive and smash we came to love with previous installments.

[Thomas96]

From previous I've heard around the web, both PS3 and 360 versions are similar. Of course Development was started on the PS3 and then filtered down to the 360. But I wonder if this game was being developed for the PS3 only... could it have been better. (i.e burnout Paradise with Gran Turismo graphics).

[The Mana Knight]

Is there a way to skip the tutorial in the demo?? I wasn't able to join Shini's game (and others before) because I had to sit through it before I could jump online. Kind of drives me crazy since I just want to play.

Not sure if anyone notices, but under account management, every time you sign off, the settings reset to it's okay for EA to send stuff to you, tell others about you, and so on (or whatever they said exactly, but I just tell them no).

[Starky27]

To my knowledge, there's no way to skip the tutorial, but I agree, it's frustrating not being able to dive right into the game after reloading the demo. Also annoying with the non-skippable mini tutorials that pop up during the demo too...

[metaly]

Is there any word on whether the final game will have crashbreakers or aftertouch? They may not be quite as useful since there doesn't seem to be as much traffic, but it sure would be awesome trying to detonate your friends.

[FriskyTanuki]

I don't believe so. I know Criterion answered the question in one of their last episodes of the CrashFM podcast.

[Connavar]

If I remember right, you can turn off those in-game tutorial tips by going to options and turning off Hints. Hit the right directional to get to the menu.

[lilcasino79]

online play is addictive, played for 2 hours online just taking each other down. Whoever is hosting can kick anyone out right?

[PenguinMaster]

I wasn't impressed. The open world aspect is quite meh and I wish it didn't have it. Not a day 1 purchase for me, I'm sure I'll find something more worthy to buy.


I agree. Open worlds are overused and are rarely done well. The driving engine was good and I liked how the crashes were more physics based, but the open world part was so poorly done that I have no interest in buying it, I'll stick with Burnout 3 and Revenge. Online play especially suffers from an open world as a ton of people are just going to be randomly driving around the city with no interest in actually racing.

[The Mana Knight]

I'm starting to enjoy the online play even more. I played last night with Inf^Shini and it was great. I found out that if you do have a USB camera connected (like PS Eye, Eyetoy, etc.), it will take your picture for the driver's license picture, and it takes your picture when someone takes you down. It's funny seeing the facial expressions of people when that happens. I wish more games did this.

[JaguarCRO]

I downloaded the game a few days ago and finally got a chance to play last night. WOW!! I love it. This is the kind of driving game that I love.

I have never played any Burnout games before this one but this is most definitely a day one purchase.

We should start a group to play on the PS3 online as I haven't tried playing online with anyone yet.

[Thomas96]

I think I said this before... but this game definitely requires custom soundtracks... if its not included on the disc, then at least make it DLC.

[Toireht]

What I found interesting was an advertisment for Compusa.......

[rapstyle]

Really good demo.

[pete5883]

What I found interesting was an advertisment for Compusa.......Srsly. Not a dying company's best investment...

[FriskyTanuki]

Srsly. Not a dying company's best investment...
Why not go out with a bang?

[Mr. Pink]

I really enjoyed just driving around and finding all the hiding billboards and crashes. I had a lot fun with the demo, I'll be looking towards the game in January.

[Thomas96]

I'd love to be able to record game clips, and record it to the ps3 hard drive and share clips of this game (and any game) via home, or you tube.

[Lyon21]

IS a great demo. Defo a must buy but not sure I will be purchasing it on the first day of release

[StrandedBrit]

[The Mana Knight]

Awesome news. :D I usually quit or have to make someone leave to make room. Now it won't be a problem.

Anyone on my friends list want to play sometime and see my crazy face? ;) :-P

[jfuze]

Meh, i didnt like the demo much. Will not be picking it up.

[StrandedBrit]

IGN Review - 8.8

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/846/846020p1.html

Also, Criterion has said that online will be disabled in the demo this week I think pending the imminent release of the actual game.

[jmillion]

i played online last nite

[metaly]

Classy. I wonder if they've built a self-destruct timer into the full game for when the sequel comes out.

[Nephlabobo]

In-game Wal Mart ads killed interest for me. I'll pass.

[Starky27]

Stopped at my local GameStop to pick up the Steel Wheel card and noticed they already had copies of the game in-store (wouldn't cough them up though.) Saw on the GFaqs boards that some Best Buy stores have also already put the game out. Tried looking around the city (Colo Springs) but couldn't find anyone that's broken 'street date' here...

[Sinistar]

I'd love to be able to record game clips, and record it to the ps3 hard drive and share clips of this game (and any game) via home, or you tube.

Yeah didn't Burnout Revenge do this on the 360?

[Zoglog]

Man, I can't decide whether or not to get this on PS3 or 360......

PS3:
Works with my G25 Wheel & slightly better visuals

360:
Customizable sound track

[Thomas96]

did anyone pick this up?! I kinda want to go and get it.. but I ran out and bought Kane and Lynch.. after I played the demo. oh well.. I guess I'll wait till next pay period.

[Zoglog]

you bought Kane & lynch? ouch

[naes]

I've been playing the demo a lot today. I don't think I'll buy this at full price, but for $40 I think I'll bite. That said, anyone up for some online?

[shnizzle66]

Man, I can't decide whether or not to get this on PS3 or 360......

PS3:
Works with my G25 Wheel & slightly better visuals

360:
Customizable sound track


WHAT!?!?!? the ps3 doesnt have customizable soundtrack? fuck!!!

[Aleman]

Man, I can't decide whether or not to get this on PS3 or 360......

PS3:
Works with my G25 Wheel & slightly better visuals

360:
Customizable sound track

Trust me, you'll want custom soundtracks after listening to this game for 4 minutes (or, as soon as the Guns N Roses song is over).

[fuss]

Don't forget that $10 off any PS3 coupon for Best Buy is still valid for a few more days!

[RiCeBo1]

PS3:
slightly better visuals
Proof??

[StrandedBrit]

So far so good. I only half around 30mins playtime last night but the game's pretty tight right now

If enough people get this we can have some good online nights. :D

[amicus]

i'm gonna be picking it up shortly.

cu online.

[Starky27]

Played enough last night to acquire 9 cars and earn my C license. I love that it's an open world so if there's a specific jump you want to keep trying to hit, you can keep going at it over and over until you're satisfied. Also, played a little of Showtime and it's not as bad (or as easy) as I thought it would be.

Feel free to add me if you're up for accomplishing Challenges.

[CrimsonPaw]

Picked it up at lunch but not sure when I'm gonna get to play it in the next few days (I have a shit-ton of reading to do). You guys can add me since I'm sure I'll be up for some MP sometime.

[amicus]

So far so good. I only half around 30mins playtime last night but the game's pretty tight right now

If enough people get this we can have some good online nights. :D

its fun so far, played almost 2 hrs already. if i see you online i'll join ur game.

[Shoki]

I think it is really cool but so far I am not feling it.

[metaly]

So I just read that you can't turn the DJ off. I'm gonna pass on this one.

[Scorch]

So I just read that you can't turn the DJ off. I'm gonna pass on this one.

I turned tips off so the only time I hear him is right before a race starts.

[bmachine]

Don't forget that $10 off any PS3 coupon for Best Buy is still valid for a few more days!

Awesome...thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that.

Kmart had the PS3 version in stock on Tuesday...I was going to grab it when I spied a copy of Persona 3, so I nabbed that instead.

I'll have to head to BB before the coupon expires.

[Nephlabobo]

I will not buy a game that has in-game Wal-Mart ads.
Fuck EA and fuck Burnout.

[lanzarlaluna]

I will not buy a game that has in-game Wal-Mart ads.
Fuck EA and fuck Burnout.It does for real? Looks like I won't be buying this either.

[Starky27]

It does for real? Looks like I won't be buying this either.
Among others. The Wal-Mart ad is in the form of 1 of 4 corporate vehicles. The Wal-Mart one is an F1 racer. If it's found elsewhere in the signage, I haven't seen it...

[CrimsonPaw]

I guess I'm of the opinion that I don't mind ads as long as they don't interfere with the gameplay. Granted it would have been nice to see a drop in price (something I'm a firm believer in) from the standard $60 because we're being exposed to this advertising, but it didn't stop me from making, and feel good about, a purchase.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to putting this thing in my PS3, especially since it'll be my last puchase until 4-29.

[sociopharm02]

I don't see why anyone would care if they had Walmart ads in the game. As long as it is not watermarked over the entire screen I could care less.

[StrandedBrit]

I've played two nights in a row now and there are ads in the game, but fudge if I can tell you what they are. Too busy flying by to stop and admire. It's not like there's a walmart ad on every street corner, hell in the 'country' section you don't see many at all.

[brduvel]

I have seen a ton of Comp USA ads. Probably not money well spent on thier behalf. :lol:

[Aleman]

Who cares about ads in the game? They're usually just on billboards alongside the road. I don't find real ads any different than made up ads that they would have instead.

[StrandedBrit]

So how many CAGers have Burnout? Was playing online with a few yesterday, but would be awesome if we could get several cagers racing together.

[dragonjud]

Not relevant to a Burnout discussion, but anyone offended by this blatant advertising should dust off their copy of JetMoto 3 for the ps1. Doritos and Moutain Dew painted bikes:rofl::rofl::roll:

Anyhow, I think this is just the beginning of an ugly pattern...and this time it may be here to stay.

[naes]

Just picked up the game today and I love it :D

[ogbaka]

i'll stick to other games untill this is like $25

[bmachine]

Picked it up yesterday for my PS3 and played last night for about 3 hours. It's a blast.

The Showtime Mode is amazingly addictive, and I'm happy to see that Road Rage is back. The new Marked Man mode really cranks up the difficulty...it's frustrating, but not enough for me to put the controller down.

I'm liking the open world. I shared many of the concerns that have already been voiced about this change, but now that I've played it I feel like my worries were unfounded.

[foo33333]

Does this game have Offline multiplayer mode?

[FriskyTanuki]

Just got this today and I'm loving it so far, though I've just been finding shortcuts, billboards, and jumps.

[StrandedBrit]

Does this game have Offline multiplayer mode?

Nope.

[MastaGamer]

Wow, showtime mode is just plain awesome. I definitely had my doubts about getting this game after the demo, not liking the open world too much. However, the full game is just so damn fun I'm glad I decided to buy it

[GodlyOne]

I'm waiting to find it at a good price but I really want to play it.

[Shoki]

Call me old fashion but I want to race in a racing game. Screwing around in freeburn mode is BS. Sure it can be fun but I rally wish there was a racing only mode.

[bmachine]

You're old fashioned.

Or, "old fashion", as you say.

[Shoki]

doh! LOL

Yeah well... I am really liking the single player. I just need to figure out how the online is suposed to work.

[FriskyTanuki]

doh! LOL

Yeah well... I am really liking the single player. I just need to figure out how the online is suposed to work.
You should be able to set up races if you're the host of the freeburn, as it should be in the menu.

[Atari Warlord]

I have seen a ton of Comp USA ads. Probably not money well spent on thier behalf. :lol:

This is the only ad in the game that I even notice. Maybe one of the updates will slap a going out of business sale banner on the signs, LOL.

[addicted2games]

I find it funny that before the game was released there was a general consensus to avoid it. Now many are enjoying it tremendously. I am one of the ones that thinks it kicks ass. I know some parts are changed from the burnout formula, but damn this game is beautiful, fast, addictive and FUN!

[Shoki]

You should be able to set up races if you're the host of the freeburn, as it should be in the menu.

Yeah I guess I will try hosting a few games. I don't usually like the responsibility but I wanna race. I figure things well settle down after folks have checked out all the new modes and start playing more races.

A good host will be like a good DJ or tour guide picking a great mix of events.

[Sinistar]

Anyone have some good tips on Showtime mode? If this is suppsed to be the "replacement" for crash mode, it's pretty dissapointing...

Also does anyone know how to access the friends list and mic settings window (the one that looks like XMB) when playing freburn online? It works offline mode but in online more they changed around the pause menus...

[bmachine]

This is the only ad in the game that I even notice. Maybe one of the updates will slap a going out of business sale banner on the signs, LOL.

LOL...that would be awesome!

I've seen Burger Kings billboards, even crashed into one of them (from a distance it looks like a Burnout billboard).

I've also noticed a bunch of Diesel on the streets. I even drove past a Diesel store once.

[Thomas96]

Call me old fashion but I want to race in a racing game. Screwing around in freeburn mode is BS. Sure it can be fun but I rally wish there was a racing only mode.


well we're rallying for you too!

[naes]

If anyone ever wants to play online send me a PM.

[Van]

Well I enjoyed the demo and my boys do too, but I'm gonna have to wait til it's $39.99. Screw this $59.99 crap.

[naes]

$49.99 at Best Buy if you use the coupon. The game is worth $50.
Well I enjoyed the demo and my boys do too, but I'm gonna have to wait til it's $39.99. Screw this $59.99 crap.

[The Mana Knight]

Well I enjoyed the demo and my boys do too, but I'm gonna have to wait til it's $39.99. Screw this $59.99 crap.Not to mean to you (or anyone here for that matter), but those who complain about PS3 games not selling well near release according to NPD, it's because too many seem to be completely against spending $60 for a PS3 game, causing some developers to think twice about bothering to release games on PS3 (Not saying CAG is the only forum who does this, pretty much any forum with a PS3 section seems to say the same thing. People on another certain console seem to have no issues dropping $60 on most games).

But enough of that small rant, there's a good chance I'll pick the game up at Meijer because I'll be able to get a small discount there (getting it for $51 at least). I can't use the Best Buy coupon due to lacking a color printer.

Give me a fucking break. Maybe some of us can't afford that much money. I'm not going broke just so the PS3 will have better games in the long run.

[Furashu]

Call me old fashion but I want to race in a racing game. Screwing around in freeburn mode is BS. Sure it can be fun but I rally wish there was a racing only mode.

then buy Need for speed, lol plenty of races in there

[fuss]

Are the Steel Wheel codes a one time use thing? I have a few extras and wanted to give them out to my fellow PS3 CAGs... but had no idea whats the deal with these.

[Zoglog]

$49.99 at Best Buy if you use the coupon. The game is worth $50.

What Coupon? Only one I got is 10% off. and 10% off 59.99 isn't $49.99 last I checked.
In fact that coupon only accomplishes the task of negating tax.

Found this one, but requires $75

Can anyone confirm the ps3 version supports the G25 Wheel?

Still on the fence about this one, not to mention which version to get. It'd be a wash for me if I could use custom soundtracks via the ps3, but you can't

Oh yeah, And anyone who bitches about non-intrusive in-game ads are retarded. If you hate the company advertising, you should be taking solace in the fact that they are paying for that advertisement which still won't convince you to goto the store. By buying the game, you aren't giving any money back to the advertiser or whoever you have your damn beef with.

I was referring to the 10% off coupon.
the $10 PS3 one is a Scan and YMMV since the coupon says "no copies"
I went to 2 BBs and they both shot it down.

[Thomas96]

there's a comparison video up for this game on Gametrailers.com very confusing, basically they're making a mockery of complaints made against them for showing the PS3 version in a gimped state. Basically they threw the video up split in fours - PS3 component, HDMI, vs 360 component, and HDMI, they even threw in composite video as well.

[Shoki]

OK I am starting to get it. Hosted a few sessions and created some races. That was a ton of fun!

C'mon... you could afford the bloody PS3... :lol: I believe his main point was the weird apprehension of some folks not wanting to drop $60 on a PS3 game, but completely oblivious to dropping $60 on that other console...

If he was making a call to the greater good, I'm sure he wouldn't include you, Mr. McCheapmeister. ;) ...I kid... I kid...:D :booty:

Still, I'm warming up to the idea of paying $60 for Burnout Paradise (since I got Revenge for $30 used... heh.)

[Zoglog]

I'm prob just gonna wait till it hits $30.

don't act like you never bought a game at full price. 50 or 60

[MidnightMetal]

Are the Steel Wheel codes a one time use thing? I have a few extras and wanted to give them out to my fellow PS3 CAGs... but had no idea whats the deal with these.
yeah i didn't reserve it or anything so i didn't get a code for the Steel Wheels, are there other codes also? And if so do you imput the code in the "Sponser Product Code" selection in the menu?

Also as far as supporting PS3 new release sales, go for it used that BB coupon for $10 off, worked like a charm! Support the PS3 games, is it any different from waitin til some 360 game comes out.

[lanzarlaluna]

don't act like you never bought a game at full price. 50 or 60Yes, I've paid full price for a game before, once at $60 and three times at $50. That's over the course of 15 years of paying for games out of my own pocket. I am super fucking picky about what I pick up at full price, and I'm certainly not doing that more often for the sake of the PS3's success.

[Connavar]

There's a few different codes, I've tested the following:
bestbuy, circuitcity, walmart, gamestop

Enter each in the Sponser code area, lower case with no spaces, and you'll get those 4 special cars. You need an A or Burnout license to play them single player, but I think you can still use them online anytime.

The steel wheels car... I haven't tested these, but here's some codes you can try to use:
U84D 3Y8K FY8Y 58N6
E60J 8Z7T MS8L 51U6
G23X 5K8Q GX2V 04B1

Those need to be uppercase and spaces as typed to work supposedly.

I've heard of those working, but I haven't put the codes in since I'm lazy and still working on my B license :)

[Teh Nitwit]

Too bad this game doesn't have split-screen multiplayer. Anyone knows if its easy or possible to do local network multiplayer? I'm talking about no internet, just 2 PS3s connected to the same router.

[Starky27]

Acquired my Burnout License today and a plethora of new cars along with it. Next tasks are to tackle the 'Carbon' vehicles and the online challenges...

[JaguarCRO]

I got my Burnout License as well and now I am about 45 races into getting an Elite License. The game really does grow on you. I was one who loved the Demo and the full game is even better.

So far my favorite events are the Road Rage and Marked Man challenges. I don't have the knowledge of the city yet to do the Stunt Runs really well but each night I seem to do a bit better about predicting where to go and I try out another car. The Burning Routes are a good test of your overall skill because the force you to try and master each of the main cars.

[coolz481]

I was one who didn't like the demo very much at all, but I do like the full game. All of the races end in one of 8 different points so it's not as though you're going to race to an infinite number of places. Plus, the game has two signals to let you know when you should make a turn during races - the street sign above starts flashing and making a beeping noise, plus your car's blinker will turn on as well - once you realize this, you won't need to refer to the map at all unless you're trying to anticipate shortcuts or alternate routes, but even then it's just for a split second. I'm only in the middle of my 'C' license, so maybe the map does become more necessary later on - maybe someone can correct what I've written. This is definitely a must-own game.

[Aleman]

I'm only in the middle of my 'C' license, so maybe the map does become more necessary later on - maybe someone can correct what I've written.

No, the map actually becomes even less necessary later on as you memorize the roads.

[The Mana Knight]

I'm probably going to buy the game at Meijer this week, when they have 15% off of General Merchandise (if they have the game in).

[noahj]

got the game this morning and really liking it thus far. so far i've just driven around to look at everything and find the gas stations, junk yards, paint shopes, etc.

looking for some friends to play some mp with though......add me to your friends list.......xmann1102

[The Mana Knight]

I got Burnout today and really loving it so far. :D Definitely plan to play CAG members at the game.

[Thomas96]

mana did you get Call of Duty 4 yet?

[PleasantOne]

This game is friggin awesome :D I've never played a Burnout game before, though, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Do any of the other games have this open environment? Or are they more like typical racing games? I couldn't really tell from the reviews I was reading.

Do you guys think they'll be releasing DLC that will add to the map? It seems to me like there are so many areas of the map with barriers that look like they're just waiting to be unlocked.

No, this is the first Burnout to have the open environment. If you have a PS3 that can do BC, I recommend picking up Burnout 3, as that was a total blast (and its super duper cheap these days too).

I'm sure there will be DLC, in terms of new cars, but I doubt they will release new races and such.

does paradise have other environments than streets? Like other burnouts had mountains and more country side environments.

There are shorcuts that consist of dirt paths, you can ride the train tracks, and there are a few areas to jump around in.

There's a few of us now so it might be cool to have a CAG night of racing and smashing.

Once I figure out online more, there will be Burnout nights.

[Starky27]

That's good, because trying to find a competent group of 7 or 8 players is almost impossible. If it's not their inability to perform the challenges, it's their incessant need to keep smashing into me while I'm trying to so something...

[fuss]

Can somebody tell me when/how to enter the codes for the store cars (Best Buy, Walmart, etc)? I already entered the code for steel wheels and the codes are not working in that screen. I curently have a class B.

Thanks!

You need a Class A license before you can enter the store codes and you'll need the Burnout License before you can use the Walmart, Circuit City or Steel Wheels vehicles...

[gamer4432]

Actually, I was able to enter the codes under the Sponsor Codes option on the Pause menu. I can use them online, but need a Burnout license to play them in the single player.

I only have a Class B right now.

[StrandedBrit]

Yeah I got my A license and have access to the Best Buy and Gamestop cars in single. The Walmart and Circuit City cars come with Burnout license.

[gamer4432]

Are the Burnout leaderboards only you and your friends scores? Because thats all I got access to is me and my friends scores. Basically I lead every leaderboard as I have no other friends who have this game.

[Sinistar]

Agreed.. this also happens to me as well.. :(

[The Mana Knight]

Well, I'm going to start creating Burnout nights, since I figured out how to look for games and access the XMB in-game (press start, then R1 or L1 until you see an option for friends by pressing triangle. You can send messages to friends on the XMB).

Right now I still have CoD4 and Warhawk reserved, so I'm thinking maybe earlier on Saturdays (like 6pm EST).

I'll be up for some playing some Burnout MP on Saturdays, as longas I'm home. :)

Added you...anyone else interested in doing something on a weeknight?

[The Mana Knight]

I thought about weeknights, but that's when we usually have big problems with EST and PST people getting together.

[StrandedBrit]

I'd be up for some weeknight action.

[naes]

Me too. Anyone who wants to play just add me :D

[Snoozer]

Im on in the evenings (CST) and on and off on the weekends.
I am open for a race or to complete two player online objectives.

[MaskedPlague]

I would love to get in on some multiplayer Burnout. Weekends or weeknights are good for me. Just add me if you want to play.

[panasonic]

A good idea for setting up the same time for everyone is use a timer instead of a time. Such as those sites that start a count down. Everyone will know when it starts for them.

[Sinistar]

Is there a way to compare your BOP stats with a friend? Like a website or something that shows you thier ranking, awards, collection, stats etc?

[bmachine]

StrandedBrit, Naes, Snoozer, et al:

You guys up for something Thursday night (after Lost, of course!), maybe around 10pm EST?

I can host...just add me (randy_wrecked) and send me a PM.

[The Mana Knight]

I'd be up for it. I'd try to add it to the CAG gaming group to hopefully push it more (like add the night in my signature).

[bmachine]

Sent you a friend request.You probably can't because my buddy list IS maxed out right now. ;) I was thinking about searching for the game, since I just figured out how to do it.

[StrandedBrit]

I'll try and be there. Someone send me an invite or at least a reminder at 10.

What ya gonna do? Racing, Challanges? Both?

[naes]

Sure, I'm down. I'll add you on PSN bmachine.

[The Mana Knight]

naes or SB will just sent me an invite to the game.

[bmachine]

Not a clue. I've actually never hosted before...figured I'd just fake my way through it.

If someone is better suited to the position (TMK?) I'll happily hand over the reigns. Regardless, I'll see you guys tonight.

[Sinistar]

Hey if you guys are up for some online challenges, add me, just be sure to say you're CAG so i know where it's from :)

[The Mana Knight]

Not a clue. I've actually never hosted before...figured I'd just fake my way through it.

If someone is better suited to the position (TMK?) I'll happily hand over the reigns. Regardless, I'll see you guys tonight.I cannot host. Just send an invite to someone on and you'll do an online freeburn. Once you do you can have races and challenges. Or else you can say online freeburn and lock it to friends and/or invites.

[StrandedBrit]

We playing? :-k

EDIT: Good starter game. Hopefully we get some more people, and some good racing.

[The Mana Knight]

That was fun. I had problems getting into a game with naes originally, which caused some hold up.

[StrandedBrit]

So when's the next game?

I do like this game, but I get the feeling that if there isn't really going to be a regular CAG night I may end up trading it in.

Well, part of the problem is trying to find the perfect day, but I may try again on Thursday night if people are interested. I'd glad do all the hosting since I'll be home.

People give me a time and I'll host. I'll do either earlier on Saturday or Thursday night.

I'll put it this way, some games are really easy to a CAG get together (the ones that list all the servers). Games that don't make it a tad difficult and sometimes I can't think of the best solution. If I was given a buddy list size of 200+, I might be able to make things work, but I'm limited to 50 (and there's no way I can get everyone on my list).

[fuss]

Hey I would be up for a game :) My username is listed to the left.

I worked my way up to Class A and have the Gamestop and Best Buy car. BUT the one I like the most is the van, even won the burning route for it. That puppy is stong and great for marked man and road rage!

The van is a brick. The only thing tougher I think is the Truck, but that thing is almost unusable (cornering-wise at least).

The walmart racer (burnout license) is great. Will break if it hits a pebble, but fast and cuts corners like butter.

I sent a request to some of you, if you did not get one I did not know your PS3 name or got lazy after the requests I did. Feel free to add me -- my username is listed under the avatar.

I will have a CAG game this Thursday night, probably at 9:30pm or 10pm.

[naes]

I will have a CAG game this Thursday night, probably at 9:30pm or 10pm.
Sweet, can't wait.

[The Mana Knight]

I'll start at 9:30pm. If people want me to start earlier or later, let me know.

[fuss]

930pm PST?

[The Mana Knight]

930pm PST?Nope, EST, but it will run for a bit since I understand some people on PST get off work late (this is why I struggle getting games to work on weekdays).

[pete5883]

I may try to attend, but Mana your friends list is full.

[freakyzeeky]

I'll race with you guys if I remember to come online tomorrow. :)

[The Mana Knight]

I'll race with you guys if I remember to come online tomorrow. :)If I remember, I'll send out reminders.

[StrandedBrit]

I'll try and make it.

I was doing more burning routes last night trying to get all cars. I must have 50 so far. Some of the burning routes are starting to get hard now though, and to be honest the cars you win are almost identical. I son't see the point, other than to say you got them.

[The Mana Knight]

I'm still struggling to get an A class license.

But anyway, there will be Burnout Paradise tonight at 9:30pm. I haven't decided whether I'll make the game open, invite only, or friends only. The problem I have is that my friends list is maxed out (usually is), but I may open the game later on if Pete and others can't get in (so they can find the list). I will send invites to naes, freaky, StrandedBrit, etc.

If anyone wants to play tonight, let me know and we'll find a way.

[Thomas96]

I'll be there, as long as I can get off from work on time...

[The Mana Knight]

Just wanted to remind everyone to play Burnout Paradise at 9:30pm EST tonight. I will be on. If you are not on my buddy list, but are on StrandedBrit, freakyzeeky, naes, etc. friend list, try jumping into their game (since they can reach me).

At the most, I might be able to clear one spot before a game.

[The Mana Knight]

I may try to attend, but Mana your friends list is full.I just now opened a slot on my friends list so we can play.

[pete5883]

I appreciate it. Though they're making me download an update now...

[panasonic]

i got the game today, on my c class.

[The Mana Knight]

Well, 6 people (including me played tonight, so I consider it a success mostly). I just wish naes was there (where were you???). Anyway, I'm going to try to make Burnout Paradise more regular, but haven't completely decided the perfect night. Personally, I'm happy with Thursday, but if people want another night (Friday and Saturday nights might be tough because of Warhawk and CoD4), let me know.

And Panasonic, hope to see you one day in a CAG Burnout night.

I'll probably keep Burnout nights going until GT5P and maybe switch it.

[Thomas96]

CAG Burnout NIGHT... thank god I got home from work on time!

[Fuzi0n]

Just got my class A license. If anyone wants to do some online play send me a friends invite. Always looking for more people to get on my friends list to play.

[StrandedBrit]

Good gaming night. Sorry I had to leave early. I've got a bout of the flu and I just couldn't keep going.

[The Mana Knight]

Good gaming night. Sorry I had to leave early. I've got a bout of the flu and I just couldn't keep going.Yeah, I could tell you weren't feeling too good over the mic. :-( I hope you feel better. :)

Yeah, in the menu, you can check the shots that have been taken after takedowns, and if you hit triangle it exports the picture to your HD. I put it on a USB stick, and voila.

And I was sorry because you looked pretty pissed :lol:

[pete5883]

I will definitely be back next week now that I know there is a reward for doing online challenges.

If you do 2 groups of challenges (for example, all 50 of the 3 player challenges, and all 50 of the 5 player challenges) you get car #76, which is like an F1 car for stunt purposes.

[pete5883]

Are we still on tomorrow night?

[StrandedBrit]

I'm up for it, but it's not worth it unless we get at least 3/4 people. So any others?

[fuss]

I would love to play, but Thursdays do not work for me :( Tuesdays and Mondays are cool if you are trying to keep it during the week.

[bmachine]

I can hop on after Lost tomorrow night.

[StrandedBrit]

So tomorrow @ 10pm EST.

[Sinistar]

I'll be on tomorrow night as well. I need to do some more multiplayer challenges anyway. Add me if you guys need another player :)

[freakyzeeky]

I'll be on if someone invites me to join you guys. :)

[StrandedBrit]

I've got you all on my list (Sinistar83 pending), so I'll throw you all an invite when I see you on.

[Thomas96]

See you guys tomorrow.

[The Mana Knight]

I might attend tonight, if I get certain things working in my project, but we'll see how time goes.

[Thomas96]

So tomorrow @ 10pm EST.

we still on for tonight at 10?

[StrandedBrit]

we still on for tonight at 10?

Yep we're on for tonight.

[StrandedBrit]

Alright peeps, and Lost fans, I'm online so where are you?

[Sinistar]

I'm on now :)

[StrandedBrit]

You have been invited. :)

[The Mana Knight]

Sorry, I'm beyond tired and have to go to bed. I was also a bit busy with stuff so couldn't be there earlier. Like I said, next week (or the week after), I'll be on the whole time.

[StrandedBrit]

Good game. I can't believe I just sank 2 hours into that. Amazing.

Good news is that it should only take several more days to go through all the challanges. :D

Looking forward to it next week.

[pete5883]

Thanks for the tip on switching to the Vegas, got my double barrel roll achievement out of it. But why is a car with low speed, low boost, and high strength (which I assume means heavier) better at flying than cars with high speed, high boost, and low strength?

[freakyzeeky]

Oh shit! I missed todays game! :bomb:

Oh well, I guess it was for the best... I would have whoop'd y'all if I was on. :razz:

[Thomas96]

This game does a great job at forcing you to explore the entire map.

[StrandedBrit]

Oh shit! I missed todays game! :bomb:

Oh well, I guess it was for the best... I would have whoop'd y'all if I was on. :razz:

No worries, there's always next week. Those challenges were kinda fun. I really want to get those completed to see what car you get ...

Last night was a good time...StrandedBrit is a very capable host.

Thanks for the tip on switching to the Vegas, got my double barrel roll achievement out of it. But why is a car with low speed, low boost, and high strength (which I assume means heavier) better at flying than cars with high speed, high boost, and low strength?

lol yeah you kept crashing at the hoop until you switched to the Vegas.:)
I've just always almost been able to get the hoop jumps with the Vegas Carnivale on that area. I guess its the car weight or something as other similar cars I could never get it with (tried with GT Flame and it wouldn't even reach the hoop lol).

Well I made it through the first time with the Hotspur. But the Hotspur does not like to barrel roll.#-o

[StrandedBrit]

So we all up for some gaming this Thursday?

[StrandedBrit]

Also, new 1.2 patch update info ...

[Snoozer]

I will be around and looking forward to it.

[The Mana Knight]

Yes, we will have a game this Thursday. Unfortunately I cannot host this week, but the next week I can.

[bmachine]

So we all up for some gaming this Thursday?

Definitely. Unfortunately, the headline says that the next night is TBA.

Can we get that changed, Thomas96?

Yes, we will have a game this Thursday. Unfortunately I cannot host this week, but the next week I can.

StrandedBrit did a fine job last Thursday, and we were able to stay on later than usual.

[The Mana Knight]

I usually host because I have the internet connection advantage WHEN I'm back at home. But that game I really had to leave early and couldn't stay on for long.

[StrandedBrit]

Was having so much fun I didn't realize it was so late! Good times though.

[StrandedBrit]

Reminder that game tonight @ 10pm EST (or a little earlier if you don't watch Lost :)).

NOTE: Mana you may want to update the title.

Wait...there are people who don't watch Lost? :)

[Thomas96]

Wait...there are people who don't watch Lost? :)

I don't

[freakyzeeky]

Wait...there are people who don't watch Lost? :)
I don't either :D

Anyhow, I'll be joining you guys tonight for some T-Boning action. :lol:

[The Mana Knight]

I bailed out due to lagging a lot and couldn't hear you all too well (It's my internet fault at my apartment). Since I'll be on break and will have plenty of free time, I might be the one hosting next week (I do have one of the stronger connections at CAG when I'm at home), but we'll see. I'd be willing to play for a while, just not above 3 hours (I kind of hate leaving my PS3 on for longer than that, or any console).

What I did play was fun and I'll see you all later.

As for Lost, I've never seen the show before.

[StrandedBrit]

Good game lads. Nice turnout and lots of fun.

[freakyzeeky]

One word that would describe tonight: LOL

Seriously, it was a lot of fun to be had, and the reason I didn't speak at all is, as you can probably imagine, due to the fact that I lost my mic! :bomb:
It felt weird playing online without a mic; I felt a bit disconnected from you guys... Though I did have a good time. Thanks SB. :)

...Oh, and I are the barrel roll l33t :P

[Thomas96]

LOL definitely sums it up!

[bmachine]

Yet another excellent evening of Burnout...thanks to all.

...Oh, and I are the barrel roll l33t :P

Was that the part where you had like, 47 of 'em...and I was working my azz off to get 3 of them?

[Sinistar]

Lol yeah that was crazy times at the airfield

[StrandedBrit]

Lol yeah that was crazy times at the airfield

Hopefully we're mostly done with those now. Seems like that's been the hang out point for the last 2 weeks. :bouncy:

[bmachine]

I know it's Warhawk night, but if anyone's up for some more Burnout beforehand I should be on around 8 or so. Or maybe some UT3?

[Snoozer]

It's only Monday, but where's the hype for this Thursday!?

Also - You'll have to excuse my silence, as I don't have a headset...yet. Am I really missing THAT much?

[StrandedBrit]

Hell I'm hyped. Burnout nights are always fun. Having a mic isn't that necessary compared to say cod4, but it's cool to have especially when you need some tips for the challenges.

[The Mana Knight]

There will be a match on Thursday. Either StrandedBit or I will host (I'm on my fast connection and could play pretty late, since I'm on break).

[freakyzeeky]

Well, I'll try to not lose my mic for this Thursday, and yes... I'll be there. :)


:twisted:
I'll win every challenge... :P

[Sinistar]

I got the Carbon Ubershall the other night (for completing two sets of challenges, but I'll help out you guys if you need more challenges done. :)

[bmachine]

Criterion's Alex Ward hopped on the forums to tell everyone that all upcoming Paradise DLC will be bridges that lead off of Paradise City into new DLC worlds and experiences. This of course is a great way to not divide the community, because anyone who doesn't have the DLC simply cannot cross the bridge and instead will remain in Paradise City. Genius! Criterion also dangled a carrot in front of our noses by giving us a video of a new vehicle, The Dust Storm, that'll be included in the next DLC batch. Yummy!
