inorite :D
I've been waiting for this for 2-3 months, and is one of the reasons I bought it.

Pick from 4, two are unlockable. Planes are coming sometime, too.

Rumors.

I believe someone from Criterion said that they'd do it, whatever.

Tannrar · September 16, 2008, 04:43:57 PM

They said that they were playing around with the idea of it.
It's a shame that the motorcycles won't really crash.

Marcem · September 16, 2008, 04:48:19 PM

Yeah, I need ragdolls.

Tannrar · September 16, 2008, 04:49:50 PM

All to keep the E10 rating.
Damn it.

Marcem · September 16, 2008, 04:50:37 PM

I NEED VIOLENCE ON MY PS3!

Altiarch · September 16, 2008, 05:00:31 PM

I don't see how they could do planes.

Marcem · September 16, 2008, 06:12:38 PM

Me neither, but whatever.

Downloading the update atm, 23%
I still haven't got the very last license for cars =[

psygo · September 18, 2008, 09:33:36 AM

meh, when I heard no buggies/new island, this dissapointed me :(

BlutEngel · September 18, 2008, 11:39:17 AM

It's like a whole new game to me.
78% of the events atm, you get the final bike when you completed all events, I think. The third one is unlocked by getting 50%.

Downloaded it while I was at school, came home to try out the bikes...

Good:
To some people, it's like an entirely new (though short) game.
Bike is significantly easier to avoid crashes with.
Time of day is done exactly as it should have been.
I saw a burger king ad on a billboard as I was crashing. :D
New online crap, though I haven't been online.
Wheelies! :D

Bad:
VERY little you can do with cars can you do with bikes - this includes jump cam, etc.
No ragdoll. D:
The crashes for bikes are horrible compared to the crashes for cars - they aren't deformable at all.

I'd say it's definitely an improvement, and essential for Burnout Paradise owners, but it could have been better if they'd spent more time on it (though the time spent would have been significant I suppose).
