What's in the upcoming free Burnout Paradise patch?
Click for high-resolution image.
You thought Criterion was done adding content to Burnout Paradise? Wrong! On February 6th, PS3 owners of Burnout Paradise will be able to download a free patch that adds a whole lot of content.
- In-Game Store (PS3/PC only) – An in-game browser will connect to the "Criterion Games Network." From here, you'll be able to see all the game's updates and purchase any of the upcoming premium DLC.
- Tweaked vehicle handling – The earlier cars are now tweaked to be easier for newcomers to use. "These cars are now slower, harder to crash and less likely to spin out at low speeds."
- Junkyard sorting – You'll be able to compare the stats of cars, and you'll be able to filter out cars, bikes, and upcoming DLC vehicles.
- Stunt Run timer changed – Stunt Run will now have a different timer that starts much slower than before. This allows beginners more wiggle room to start a combo. Experts will still be challenged: the larger your combo, the faster the timer runs out.
- Events rebalanced – All events have been modified to accommodate the new car speeds.
- Road Rage tweaked – Players no longer get additional time once they reach the target score. This is great, because we usually intentionally crash in order to end this mode.
- Enhanced visuals – In-game items, like billboards and smashes, are now easier to spot. The lighting has been tweaked to be "more vibrant." Driving at night will be easier.
- Restart – Yes, you can restart races now.
- Easier barrel rolls – Barrel rolls are now automatic. However, to do more than one at a time, you'll have to use the analog sticks.
The upcoming premium DLC packs (Party, Toy Cars, Legendary Cars) add additional Trophies into the game. We've included them after the cut.
