CAG Burnout Paradise PS3 Night [6/14 @ 3PM - 9PM EDT ]

[LordKefka06]

New DLC trailer: http://g4tv.com/trailers/videos/38471/Burnout-Paradise-Big-Surf-Island-DLC-Debut-Trailer.html

[ArJay2k8]

Brought back to the top...

[KingBroly]

It'll be a Big Surf Island Extravaganza! It'll also be murder on my bandwidth. But I don't care, my internet sucks enough already! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[AllahBomber]

ya, ill be there adding to the mayhem. i would have kept playing after that one cops/robbers night, but people were posting here saying they didnt want to play that :\ and ive played enough regular burnout. heh

[LordKefka06]

Shit! I'll be gone from the 12-27 on a roadtrip to Montana to see family. I will however be getting the BSI DLC.

[tenchi]

Wow, you hosting a six hour marathon KingBroly? I haven't played Burnout is a long time but may join in the fun this weekend. :)

[guardian_owl]

Might have a meeting 30 minutes before it starts, so I'll probably be a little late, but I'm there.

[smiggity]

So how do you play the cops and robbers mode? I could not figure it out this morning

[guardian_owl]

So how do you play the cops and robbers mode? I could not figure it out this morning
It's an online only freeburn event that the host of the game has to start. Once the hosts activates it (from the easy drive menu via the directional pad) all those with the Cops and Robbers pack have a little time to change their car (if the host allows it) then a variation of capture the flag begins.

[KingBroly]

This Sunday's event isn't meant to be a 'you stay for 6 hours' event, but more of a 'you know, if you want to play on Big Surf Island, go here' event. There are only 10 Freeburn Challenges for Big Surf Island (Which are not split amongst the # of players in the room at the time of it starting) so those shouldn't take very long. It's more of an exploration sort of event with other people.

If anyone is up at the crack of dawn when the patch goes live, I'll probably be up to check it out if you want to do some Challenges or something (Not BSI related, of course). I still need help completing 1 2-player timed challenge as well as all of my remaining bike timed challenges (10 spanning from 2-8 players).

[GodlyOne]

I'll be there for Sunday's game, mostly to complete to 10 Big Surf Island challenges. If you can't find anyone to help you with the regular timed challenges, I'll be there too. Freeburn challenges are a blast but trying to attempt them with strangers makes a person want to throw their controller out the window.

[KingBroly]

I managed to get all but 2 or 3 2-player bike time challenges done by playing with strangers. You'd be surprised how fast you get people if you start up a Bike room. I wish BSI added some Bike Content, but every since it came out, they've just neglected the Bike Content :(

Well, technically there will be 12 more roads to rule day and night. Not much, but at least it's something lol. They def need to come out with a new bike pack for DLC though.

[KingBroly]

I want a Bike Park. Kinda like BSI but specifically made for bikes.

EDIT:
1.90 is up. 413mb.

EDIT 2:
Bah, it's only up in Europe right now.

EDIT ....:
WTH!? It's been out for like 3 hours and the PSN version refuses to prompt me for an update.

[ArJay2k8]

I just tried and couldn't get the 1.9 patch either.

[ArJay2k8]

Hey Broly, I just tried and got prompted for the update, it might be up for you as well now.

[KingBroly]

what do you think I'm doing? I saw you go on/off fast and that's when I jumped on it and it was there. 14 minutes...

[ArJay2k8]

what do you think I'm doing? I saw you go on/off fast and that's when I jumped on it and it was there. 14 minutes...
haha nice. It only took me about 5 minutes to download. I have pretty decent speed.
The update is nice, I like the new billboards and such....and I swear that little ferry thing on Webster is new. That bridge is taunting me now, man I hope the US PSN store updates soon.

[KingBroly]

I just got done downloading it and am about to play it. My internet sucks until about 4pm every day.

EDIT:
- They added an option so you can skip the BPN intro when you start the game up
- You can't use Showtime to get through the Toll Booth

[guardian_owl]

hmm...apparently the last 4 cars are toy versions of the legendary cars and the 5th is a "Diamond P12."
http://www.operationburnout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4304

That's a little disappointing, I was hoping one of the other cars would be an offline version of the Rai-Jin Turbo.

[KingBroly]

They finally put the unlock code up

[LordKefka06]

IMO, I think the Billboards are to easily placed. After playing for just a little bit, I just need 6 more & also, the gates are a little bit too easy placed also, I just need around 20 more.

But it would be hard to make them challenging to get since the island is so small.

[AllahBomber]

ya i played about an hour and im almost done :P except for the freeburns. ill be there sunday for that

and gates arent really supposed to be hard to find. theyre all easy in the main game too, the hard part was that there were so many.

[KingBroly]

I don't see how they could've made them harder to get, though. Same thing with the Smash Gates, although it took me a good 20 minutes to find the last 3 I needed. I've played it about 4 hours and I've got 64% on my License done. So, it's not terribly hard, and the content is definitely worth it.

It's especially worth it if you didn't buy any Toy Car or Legendary Car (Besides the Toy Bike) because you can earn Trophies from those toy versions of the Legendary cars. So basically the Legendary Cars and Toy Cars (Toy Bike being the exception) have no point anymore.

Are you being serious Broly? :-o
'Cuz if so, hot damn! I'm getting me them trophies too, hehe! ;)

[LordKefka06]

It just came to my attention that the license plates of the boost special cars are: P-DLC-SHR. Is that mean Please DownLoadable Content SHaRe? Is criterion games wanting you to join a DLC share group & share their content? Why would they want you to do that? They would be lossing money.

[KingBroly]

I'm guessing they want everyone to have the Island.

And yes, Freaky. That is what someone told me earlier about the Toy Legendary Cars. I don't know if they're true or not since I already have those Trophies.

The 3 Stunt Runs on the Island are kind of getting on my nerves right now because it seems you have to be so damn precise when it comes to stunts or else one centimeter of your car starts turning and you're screwed.

[AllahBomber]

why dont you just do it the old fashioned way and tap your boost all the way to the quarry? :D
...ya im lame

[LordKefka06]

I'm guessing they want everyone to have the IslandNo, I'm talking about the Boost special cars.

And also, when you complete either all the gates, billboards, or mega jumps. You get a car with each of those:

Toy 88 special: Hover mode, long ass boost exhaust trail that is fire! (hover mode goes alot faster, but harder to control.)

Toy Bootlegger: Tough little midget.

Toy Spirit: Ghost busters. Flashing lights. 1 of the better cars at taking sharp turns.

[KingBroly]

So I went back and I got 100% on the Island (you need to do all 10 Challenges to get 100%). It took about 6 hours to do get everything done. I haven't done the Bike Trials yet, but I'll do that tomorrow afternoon sometime. Will it get me anything? According to sources...nope. So, a good 6-10 hours of content is there depending on your skill level.

Worth the $13? Yup. I just sort of wish there were more than 10 Challenges as it really limits the online play aspects of the Island not including Marked Man (I'm assuming Cops n' Robbers and Road Rage will take you off the Island.

[Thomas96]

I just started by playing this game, bought he Nighthawk, and the Delorean. Maybe next week if I have some extra money I'll get the big surf island. I do have a question, I never did erase my game save but i'm able to get trophies, (although I have do things over again)... was their a patch that came out that made it so that we don't have to erase our game saves?

[KingBroly]

For what Trophies specifically?

[TctclMvPhase]

I think you misunderstood. You never had to delete your save game, the issue is that you cannot get some of the trophies if you ahve already acheived them prior to the trophy patch. So if your save game had 15 gates smashed prior to your trophy patch, you will get all subseqeunt trophies except the first one for ten gates smashed.

Its not a big deal as you can get all the other trophies and then copy your save file to a flash drive, start a new game, earnt he missing trophies and then load your old save file back on again.

[nbballard]

There was also a glitch related to some of the DLC car trophies that required you to mess around with your save file for the trophy to trigger (the 3 boosts on the nighthawk).

I think i had to back-up my save, delete it off my PS3, go in and get the trophy, then restore my save.

[nbballard]

Sorry to double post- but I had some thoughts on the island.

It feels too removed from the city. I wish there were more bridges connecting the 2, or some sort of tunnel or something (missed opertunity for a glass inclosed strip of road under water). I only drove around in the buggy, but I got the feeling I wouldn't be having as much fun in the other cars.

I agree. I was blown away at first but the more I play it the less impressed I am. To those who are familiar with the RUSH series may rememeber they had stunt areas set aside in some of the games and thats what this feels like. I think Ill either select the island from the outset and stay there or spend my time on the mainland.

That said, I love a lot of the new huge jump like the CRASH ski jump and the Lighthouse and there is something extremely satisfying about the spiral and the excellent freeburn challenge that goes along with it.

Yes, this was true... I just ignored the trophy, thinking the whole deletion process wasn't worth it.

They must have fixed it with the 1.8 patch, though, because I suddenly got the trophy sometime last week.

I'm not sure what the status is on the timed challenge trophy glitch.

[freakyzeeky]

Well the Legendary Toy Cars did help me get a couple of the 'Toy Car' trophies. They don't unlock the Legendary Car trophies though; already tried... so I guess I don't need to buy the Toy Car pack anymore to get 100% (trophies) in Burnout (exception is the Toy Bike, as Broly said eariler).

[AllahBomber]

(exception is the Toy Bike, as Broly said eariler).

you and i both know you want that trophy, and youll do what you have to to get it :P

[KingBroly]

I think the reason why BSI feels so disconnected from the rest of the map is because the Bridge is really long. I have everything done with the Island (even all the Road Rules) and getting the bike road rules to under 4:30 is almost done (I'm at 4:30 currently). I definitely want to try to get a Flat Spin of at least 1000 degrees soon thereafter on the Island.

[AllahBomber]

I definitely want to try to get a Flat Spin of at least 1000 degrees soon thereafter on the Island.

why, is that one of the challenges?

[KingBroly]

No, it's just something I want to do.

[nbballard]

does the burnoutteamrocks website include BSI now?

[KingBroly]

I don't think it does.

[AllahBomber]

hope they add it so i can lame it up

[freakyzeeky]

you and i both know you want that trophy, and youll do what you have to to get it :P

You don't know how right you are! :lol:

[freakyzeeky]

No, it's just something I want to do.

Wonder how many degrees you can get spinning off of that Ski Jump... :-o

[AllahBomber]

only one way to find out

[KingBroly]

Wonder how many degrees you can get spinning off of that Ski Jump... :-o

Probably a whole lot more if it had a divided ramp at the end.

[nbballard]

I need some help with my last smashboard- when you are coming up to the ski jump, it's on the right side of the road. Anyone have any suggestions?

It looks like it's at the end of a road covered by a beamed structure. It leads back to the curved construction building from what i can tell but I haven't been able to get up there.

edit- never mind- i was following the road in the wrong direction.

[KingBroly]

I'm about to open up the room, so...a few things.

#1 - I can only keep it open until 7pm (I found out guests are coming over at the last minute)
#2 - Big Surf Island is required (It doesn't necessarily mean all we'll do is Big Surf Island)
#3 - Using Toy Cars doesn't seem like a good idea because some challenges are harder for Toy Cars to complete.
#4 - I plan on doing at least 1 Marked Man event, restricted to the Island (minus the Bridge)

[sotc1988]

BAH! One guy in our gameshare group still hasn't paid, so I will hopefully be there next week for the game.

[KingBroly]

Internet gave way. Gonna try to start it back up at 6 :(

[AllahBomber]

hope it works, ill join at 6, hopefully youll still want to do the 10 freeburns with me/anyone else :)

edit: hmm no sign of broly :(

[nfs3freak]

yeah still no sign. i'm down if it goes up

[pete5883]

BSI is cool, but with everything so densely packed I don't think I'll ever find everything.

[KingBroly]

Sorry guys, but my internet crashed for a good while this afternoon. I'll have something next week, though.

[pete5883]

I've done all the events, ruled all the roads, and I'm only 72% completion on BSI. What the hell is the other 30%? I'm only missing 1 billboard and 2 jumps.

[KingBroly]

Did you do any of the Online Freeburn Challenges? Because those count towards it, too.

[pete5883]

None. I'm not sure they do count, Criterion Games posted on their twitter: (http://twitter.com/CriterionGames/status/2175967829)

If you have completed 100% of your Big Surf Island license and only have 8/9 cars, try doing some online challenges ;)

Meaning it's possible to get 100% without online challenges. When are we playing online next?

[TctclMvPhase]

None. I'm not sure they do count, Criterion Games posted on their twitter: (http://twitter.com/CriterionGames/status/2175967829)

If you want to just add me to your friends list. I dont mind taking the time to run through all the BSI challenges again. They only take about 30-45 min and none of them require more than 2 people.

[KingBroly]

None. I'm not sure they do count, Criterion Games posted on their twitter: (http://twitter.com/CriterionGames/status/2175967829)

The 9th car is the Diamond P12 I believe. You know, the 500 Challenges one.

[pete5883]

Oh, so they mean all the challenges, not just the new ones.

[KingBroly]

I'm pretty sure that's what they mean. I still need to find someone to finish these 3 2-player Bike Challenges so I'll be done with all of them.

[Devil May Cry]

Hey guys, finally got to cracking this open. I've been playing around on it for two days now, and tried starting some freeburn stuff, but I've only been able to connect to somebody once. Also, I'm down to play with someone online whenever, just send me a friend invite saying so.

[LordKefka06]

IDK if I'll be on, but feel free to PM on CAG with your PSN-ID, just in case I'm on so we can play.

[tagout]

Please add me for some freeburn challenges.

[Devil May Cry]

Hey, have any of you guys been having problems joining or accepting invites into a freeburn online group? I've been constantly getting kicked, even when I know they didn't kick me. I was going to boost the Wildcats, 10 miles on a bike and 5 Bike Freeburns, but I could never join (I was livid BTW). I forwarded ports but got no result.

[LordKefka06]

Sorry, World of Warcraft has been taking most of my time lately, I will try to get back to you DMC & Tagout

[fuss]

Did you do any of the Online Freeburn Challenges? Because those count towards it, too.


Ya - the online stuff counts for the 100% I have done EVERYTHING offline - found every jump, gate, billboard. Completed all the events... everything EXCEPT the online stuff. Looking at my progress - everything is maxed out except the cars (7/9) with the 8th being the one you get for all 10 online events and the 9th the special "IdideverythingOMFG" car and online events are 0/10. And my BSI progress is 75%.

So if any of you CAG'ers want to do some online add me - I will add those who posted here in the AM.

I am just impressed that I did all the stunt runs on BSI, those ar by far the worst event for me. I am happy I learned how to chain stunts over long distance by tapping the boost... that was the best thing I learned for this game. But I will admit the stunt runs on BSI are pretty easy with all the jumps and stuff around the island. :bouncy:

And when I saw that "IdideverythingOMFG" car I thought about going after it for a few minutes.. till I booted up BP and saw how much work it would be. So ya - no "IdideverythingOMFG" car for me LOL.

[LordKefka06]

Broly, do you have plans on hosting another game soon?

[KingBroly]

Next Sunday, 6pm eastern - 8pm eastern

[Wolfkin]

i'm officially announcing my intent to be there.

[guardian_owl]

Should be able to participate

[KingBroly]

I almost forgot about it, but good thing I checked.

[LordKefka06]

Lol, I was gonna say because the title wasn't updated.

[KingBroly]

Sorry, I got dragged into something. Starting up now if you guys are still there.

[Wolfkin]

i still can't believe I made it. however brief it was it's good to play with people.

[guardian_owl]

Yep, was a nice opportunity to get some of those low player freeburns too.

[KingBroly]

Yeah, low player freeburns are hard to get. Once you add that 3rd player, you usually get to 7 or 8 pretty quick.

[fuss]

I picked up the cops and robbers pack yesterday - anybody else have it? I played a few games and had a blast with it.

[guardian_owl]

I'll start one in a couple of hours if Kingbrolly doesn't do one, I'll add those from the last couple of pages of the thread.

[KingBroly]

I can play, but I can't host. But I might be playing Vesperia, though.

[Warner1281]

Hey... was wondering when the next Burnout night will be. I'm done with all the trophies except for "8 players meet up in wildcat stadium," and was hoping it'd be possible to get people together for that trophy.

[LordKefka06]

This is short notice, but later
today I'll see if I can host for tomorrow. If I can, I'll just Get anybody who wanted to play to add me as a friend.

[LordKefka06]

Hey guys, I'm interested in hosting a CAG game night sometime. So what time/day works best for most of you?

[SynGamer]

I'm getting on now if anyone is interested...

[Wolfkin]

FP is over and i'm wiped.. but ya know what I'll get on and if you haven't finished the 2p challenges we can do those.

[Saint Noir]

Any day is good for me for the most part. Would definitely jump on as I still have... oh I think 400 freeburns to do.

[SynGamer]

Hey Wolf, I JUST now saw our msg about CAG Burnout. Nothing ever popped up on my screen while I was playing the other night, very weird.

[KingBroly]

Any day would be good for me. Let's go!

[LordKefka06]

Sunday, Thursday, or Saturday?

[Saint Noir]

I would prefer Thursdays. Though this one is Christmas Eve and the following New Year's Eve.
