Burnout Paradise updates now available

chautemoc | July 10, 2008 | News | Playstation 3

Tons of new features are now yours for the taking in the new Burnout Paradise (PS3) update: new online game modes, new vehicles, a stack of enhancements and fixes, and a new Live Page. Best of all? It's free!

To acquire the updates, just pop the Burnout disk into your PS3, launch it, and it'll download the required files automatically.

[The] game’s new Live Page [is] the thing we’re really excited about and want to let you know about this week.

The Live Page does two cool things:

First, it serves up news about the game – so that’s news about updates and the kind of stuff you’d expect on criteriongames.com, but it’s also news about what’s happening in the game – so, expect to find news about what you’ve done in Paradise City as well as about what’s happening online, like when we hit the 100 millionth crash, for example.

Secondly (and this is the really, really cool bit), it’s where we can, using the Game Calendar, create what we’re calling ‘Live Broadcast Gameplay’. This is how it works:

If you check out the Game Calendar, you’ll see certain dates on it are ringed. These represent ‘Live Events’ that will occur on that day. In the news panel on the Live Page there’ll be a corresponding story telling you about what’s happening on those days.

_{Chaut just for the record, this should really be for PS3 only, since the 360 has delays with the update.

Anyway sounds good, dl it later.

Edited for mistake. Ignore first part Chaut. -__-}

Hopefully this may be a sign of custom soundtracks for PS3 sometimes soon.

  Why? Y'all just got In-Game XMB. Isn't that what it's meant for?

    In-game XMB only gives you access to messages (Basically the PSN friends list) and your Accessories Settings options, and introduced Trophies.
    
    Every other feature on XMB still requries you to quit the game. As for Custom Music, Sony left it up to developers to include the feature. So far no one outside of Super Stardust HD has implemented it.
