First Burnout Paradise 2009 content pack detailed

criteriongames.com writes:

"We're finally ready to unveil the first in a wide range of new Burnout Paradise content for 2009.

Our first pack of the year will be called Burnout Paradise Party.

Burnout Paradise is an awesome social game, but the action's all online. With Party, we wanted to create something for when all the players are in one place – gathered around a single screen.

Fans of the classic Crash Mode from Burnout 2: Point of Impact will know that this is not the first time we've done something like this. And we hope the response to Party is as warm as it was for Crash mode.

So, if you like to get together and play games, it's time to break out the drinks, party hats and balloons!"

1 - Wow !!!
Now i gotta get it for sure, i had hoped for a proper crash mode or maybe the option to have chevrons save me constantly pausing the game so i can see where the hell i gotta go. Party mode beats all that.

NOT !!!!!!!!

After all the free updates, I think it's only fair they make some extra cash and I will be buying this!

2.1 - Agreed
And it even has new Trophies/Achievements! Criterion really knows how to make EVERYONE happy, and more developers could benefit by taking notice.

Homophobic, much? Criterion Games have been making FREE updates for us, including new content for 2009. Albeit, this update will cost some money -- it'll open up Burnout Paradise in an all new way, including extra achievements/trophies. And you're concerned about the color scheme??? Wow.....

Yeah to tell you the truth i am... The art style and colors thus far have been perfect... I really don't see why they chose these super bright ones to be honest. And no i'm not homophobic. You would expect it in a barbie game or something but not here.
BTW i love Burnout Paradise and criterion as a developer in general.

In the same way, imagine you are playing COD4. You're in a middle of a huge firefight with a gray cloudy sky and suddenly out of nowhere you get rainbows and sunshine. I mean it just doesn't make sense.

I think the new theme goes well with 'Paradise' City although I think they should allow the user to choose which theme to use.

Burnout Paradise is the best arcade racer ever, now all they have to do as add crash mode back. And it will be perfect. This game is like the enegizer bunny it just keeps going and going. I pick this game up last month from Gamefly for $20.00. Probably the best $20.00 I ever spent.

At this rate, they'll have a split screen mode back in the game soon enough.
I'll buy this, even if I only play it a few times.
Critereon has damn well earned it.
They are giving the customers what they want, and doing it well. Other developers need to learn from them.

Help make other devs realize that games are more than just about a 1 shot product that you put out to sell, and leave it at that, they are committed to their fans.

Buy the game (retail or from PSN) and get this new pack when it comes out!

6 - I'll be buying the game for their great support so far...
... seriously, they've given the best example of how DLC SHOULD be handled to keep a game fresh and give something extra for the players who bought the game.

However, I wont be buying this DLC. I dont pay for DLC, and this DLC is also aimed at people who have friends, and I dont have any...
