The Official Burnout Paradise Thread. Restarting Events Patch!

depends on the car, some of them are very drift friendly and it's quite useful to cut corners with it... but it's risky though because unlike Daytona or RR you've got oncoming traffic.isamu said:

Yep, that's the way it's meant to work, this has been remarked several times in this thread...rhfb said:
Wise words. There's so much to do "just" to get your Elite License and 102% that the vehicle packs should not be used until you've done that. Of course, your mileage may varyShinjitsu said:
Congrats! 101% is not far away, but 102% is a hard road... The only way I did it was by hosting rooms myself, kicking the jackasses and friending the cooperative people. It still took me a while, and that last one (a power parking challenge!) was nail-biting :lolDahbomb said:100% game completed: Criterion Elite license!
Time to tackle online but I hate how when you have activated a challenge and you are about to finish it but there is one jackass who doesn't do shit and ends up costing the challenge.
Doing events allows for more cars to enter paradise city so you can take them down and add them to your collection. Just about every other car has a Burning Route challenge which if you complete you get a modified version of that same car (normally you get a boost upgrade with a slight reduction in normal speed).Fyrus said:Just got this game today and love it. How do I unlock more cars though? Challenges/events?
Also, does anyone know where to get replacement PS3 cases.. the red box is ugly.
Getting a new license gives you a kick ass new car usually. Getting all of Time Road Rules gets you a special carbon car, so does doing all Showtimes, all Super Jumps, all Billboards and all 400 Smashes.
It's going to take you a while before you get all 80 some odd cars...
It looks like Big Surf Island has not been sent to certification yet
One more (new?) shot:
Island life is great
IslandPete here; I just have to say... life is great. I don't want to rub it in but everyday here at Criterion Games just rocks. I come back from a real-world vacation to check out the progress on the Island and "Wow!" - the team here doesn't ever stop amazing me.
It appears that TheWebsterHoff, SargeSullivan and CrashTVJez couldn't help themselves in my absence and have been on a rampage across Big Surf Island, with some awesome results... if only I could tell you more!
You see it's all about team work here at Criterion, the guys have been working with the Island construction crew to tweak and iterate some of our final gameplay experiences, including an awesome new car. Everyone on the team has a say in what we do and are all passionate about the details. It may look like we're playing games all day but deep down we are professionals looking for every way to enhance the game experience.
Wish you could join us? We are looking for some awesome new artists to join our team here. If you have a passion for games and a lot of unused creative juices then check out CriterionGames.com for more info. Say IslandPete sent you.
I'll be back soon with some more Big Surf Island info but in the meantime you might want to brush up your Stunt Run skills in the Hawker Mech... you might need them on the Island if the Sarge has anything to say about it.

Tired of the cockteases, just release the damn thing!!!! And lower the car packs to around 15 for both. I would buy a bundle for around 10 though. Come on Criterion, I want them damn trophies!!!
Started Paradise this weekend. This game has its hooks in me, can't stop playing. Already got my Burnout license, now on to Elite. The Burning Routes for some of the cars you unlock late in the game are getting rather tricky.
Anyone have any pointers for the 20x Boost chain achievement? I read there used to be an easy way to do it, but they fixed it with later updates

1) start a Stunt Run when driving a not-too-fast Speed class car, lap around the I-88 in oncoming, switch cars if it's too fast or the Burnouts don't chain (Stunt Run thins traffic)
2) start an unranked online race with a friend, chose 'no traffic', lap around the I-88 in oncoming with a Speed class car, don't crash and ask your friend not to finish the race before you're done

I cant think of one. Easiest I found was wrong way driving on the freeway.

This. Most of my flatspins start out on a ramp with my car at 90 degree - 180 degree to the actual ramp.Returners said:

DRock said:
At the beach, this was about a year ago now but I still have it saved.
If you go fast enough in oncoming (but slow enough that you can avoid cars) and get some near misses, that should be enough to refill the boost bar while you deplete it, thus chaining Burnouts...Darunia said:
Don't let go of the e-brake and keep steering on the direction you spin. Rotation depends of your launch speed and how close to the edge you start spinning. Of course, using a Stunt class car is advised.DRock said:
Returners said:
Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm not spinning early enough? I usually just go full speed to the jump and then as soon as I hit the bottom of the ramp I slam on the e-brake and hold left until I land.
I've tried mostly at the Quarry, the one really high jump from the road above the quarry.

19$ max for me (I hope I will resist if it's more...).jett said:
When does it come out ?

I will not pay more than 20. If they were smart they would just make it 10-15. And bundle it for 20-25 with the boost specials and toy car packs.Chû Totoro said:
Uh so this game deleted my savegame for what seems like no reason at all:
I installed the newest patch for 360, and went to play a new game, and it started the opening game loop. I tried moving the savefile from my memory card to the hard drive, but still nothing. I don't want to actually start over just in case there is any chance of it being recovered but im pretty peeved at this (I was at A license).
Am I screwed?

You can make backups on 360 right? You may be screwed but I really don't know the ins and outs of the way 360 work on that front. Doesn't look good though.
Burnout team rocks save analyzer is broken for me.
I uploaded my latest game save that has 44/50 jumps and 398/400 gate smashes, and the site shows me as not even having half of that. I just got my burnout license, so i am pondering whether to keep pushing for the burnout elite license too. I just want some new cars

Meh, I expected news on the Big Surf island.
You need to make a manual save file, if you didn't.

God, I just spent what was the length of an entire podcast trying to do the burning route for the 25 V16, an insanely fast car. It's so hard Even if I deliver a great first half and get past the freeway section, I always crash at least once and that means immediate failure. You have to boost all the time, so dodging cars is a pain.

Crashing once should be OK, but you have to find the smart shortcuts and avoid the hard ones. In the end I started avoiding the one with two wooden bridges, because running it at full speed is really hard, you tend to jump out in the bushes.Darunia said:God, I just spent what was the length of an entire podcast trying to do the burning route for the 25 V16, an insanely fast car.

I also found this burning route to be pretty hard, but in the end I made a run and avoided to crash at all and had a 10 seconds margin. :lol

how's the online population on PC? was thinking about grabbing it up on steam if there enough people for fun online
painful fart said:
I watched a video and it turns out I actually took a wrong main route
Coming out of the tunnel you're supposed to make a hard right, which I didn't. I got it first try after realizing that. With a bunch of seconds to spareAlso, because of this game that Brand New song has been stuck in my head for like forever. Same with Girlfriend :s I also forgot what an awesome song Faith No More's Epic is
There are many ways to do it, pick yours: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=25+V16+burning+route&aq=fDarunia said:God, I just spent what was the length of an entire podcast trying to do the burning route for the 25 V16, an insanely fast car. It's so hard
EDIT: too late...
RanoNL said:Yeah! My first Platinum and 100% with Burnout Paradise. It was fun to collect them
Congrats!
I'll never get it though as I don't have an Eyetoy. And none of my friends plays it anymore so I can't invite anyone to play with me online either. Or maybe someone here can help me out?

he took the first left corner so bad and slow.(did he use the handbreak?) "Just" drift through it from a good angle. sometimes there comes a car but in 6 out 10 theres none. but yeah the 25 V16 was my hardest burning route. the suggested route is too slow in the end. i took the more nothern route (same as in the vid i think).

Let's not get anyone's hopes up. Criterion guys seems to be the type that really embraces April Fools. :lolcrispyben said:
