Burnout™ Paradise Party
Fri, 31 Oct 2008 11:29:35 GMT

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!

Now you can enjoy Burnout Paradise in a completely new way.

1.    Get together with up to 7 friends and gather round a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.  Here you can see us lining up for a little Halloween-themed fun with Burnout Party.  You can see the full session in our latest Crash TV video podcast - it's The Halloween Special!

2.    Start Burnout Paradise and get the Party Pack update from the Store or Xbox Live

3.    Pause to admire the excellent new Party Edition visuals and atmosphere!  We've overhauled not just the presentation screens but also the in-game visuals, which are now brighter and more colourful in recognition of Burnout's new party theme.

4.    Select 8-player party and get ready for the action.

5.    It's pass-the-pad, so you'll only need one controller to play, no matter how many players are involved!

6.    The game selects a player at random and drops them into Paradise with a simple, fun challenge to complete.

Land a barrel roll!

Survive racing oncoming traffic

Race a circuit of the dirt track in the best possible time

There are 3 types of challenge to take on – Stunt, Speed and Skill.  Stunt involves jumps and tricks.  Speed features quick time trials and timed challenges.  Skill includes racing through oncoming traffic and drifting your car.

7.    Pick up the winner and run around cheering / commiserate the loser

8.    Give it another go!  Don’t forget, there are extra trophies and achievements available within this pack.

You'll be able to purchase this awesome premium Burnout Paradise content from February 2009.

Phew! Another big week, here at Criterion Games, but it’s great to be back on the blog! Today, we made the first of a series of announcements calling out our 2009 Burnout Paradise content.

So first up, we’re talking about the in-game browser for the PLAYSTATION 3. We always like to embrace the great hardware innovations for PlayStation. We’re using the browser to bring you closer to your friends and also to get you the latest news on what we’re working on – it’s like having criteriongames.com inside the game.

We’ll bring you all the latest on this PlayStation-exclusive feature over the coming weeks, but for now all you need to know is it’s called Burnout Paradise Network and it’ll be ready in Feb ‘09.

Is it me or does it seem like these packs might cost money?  They said we'll be able to purchase this awesome premium Burnout Paradise content from February 2009.  I guess you can't blame them if they do charge something, but I was looking forward to more free packs .

It does sound like pay content.  But I'm fine with that.  They've given us so much free stuff, how can you complain?

But wasn't the island to be announced to be FREE before? Or just announced? I forgot.

Anyway, not sure I'll get that party pack (no one to play with locally) but I think I might shell out a few bucks for that island... (even if it had been announced free).

Cause I'm American and that's how we roll   Nah, I would be fine with it, it's just free stuff is always nicer.  But you are right, they have given us so much free stuff it really wouldn't be bad to have to pay for some and give them what they deserve.

I believe the island will be free and out around Christmas last I heard.  Besides the Party Pack, they have 3 more announcements over the next three Fridays.  I'd guess the Party Pack and the next 3 will all be pay content.
