Burnout Paradise – 6th Feb Update (FREE)

Criterion will be releasing a free update to Burnout Paradise on the 6th Feb 09. This coincides with the release of the Burnout Paradise party pack, which you have to pay for.

There’s quite a lot of good stuff in the free update though:

• Restart – You can now quit or fail and event and restart it. Yay!!!!!
• Self-righting Barrel rolls – Making them nice and simple to pull off
• Vibrant visuals – Billboards, smashes and super jumps are now more obvious (via pulsation, and colour tweaks)
• Road rage tweaked – Time is not added after you’ve reached the target car total
• Stunt timer tweaked – Countdown is slower, making it easier to play at the start
• Vehicle dynamics overhaul – First cars available are now easier to drive
• Rebalanced events – To take into account all the other updates
• Junkyard tweaked – Easier to view vehicle stats, now with added vehicle filter
• In-game browser site – For PC and PS3 only to bring the upcoming Criterion Games Network
• In-game store – Easier to browse and buy new content

I’m very happy to see that Criterion have finally given in and added the restart feature. This improves the game no end by vastly reducing the time I used to spend driving back to the start of an event. Also Criterion are going to announce more details about the upcoming Criterion Games Network next week.
