For YMMV tropes on this game's in general, click.: This game launched without a restart function, which Criterion was afraid would bring. However, the complaints over this prompted the developer to add one in an update, and the restart time is actually pretty quick.: Criterion sure knows its deal in terms of licensed music. Here are some examples:. 'Girlfriend' by note Which was also in Burnout Dominator in Japanese, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese versions as well as the original English version.

Paradise uses the English version only. 'I Wanna Rock' by. 'Friction' by B'z.

'Nothing to Lose' by Operator. 'Come Clean' by Mexicolas. 'Stop!' By. 'My Curse' by. 'The Archers' Bows Have Broken' by. Jason Nevins' remix of 'Rock Star' by N.E.R.D.

Junkie XL and Lauren Rocket's version of. 'Epic' by. 'Collapse' by Saosin. 'Us v. Them' by. 'Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast' by Airbourne. 'Rusty Cage' by - doubly awesome for being a to.

And all that sweet.: Showtime Mode. Tap the two shoulder buttons and the game suddenly turns from a high-speed racing game to a smoldering wreck of a car tumbling down the road and smashing everything in sight.:. Paradise was adored by critics and arcade racing game fans, but became hated by core Burnout fans because of the open world element that they find inferior to closed circuits (see also ), the removal of popular features such as Aftertouch Takedowns, and taking over for Crash mode. Until Crash came out. It still goes on a decade later, as the release of Burnout Paradise Remastered not only excited fans and critics of the game, but also brought out the classic Burnout fans to continue berating the game and complain about EA not remastering 'superior' entries including 2, 3, or Revenge. Some of those fans do cautiously hope that should Paradise Remastered succeed, EA may (and it's a big may) consider remastering one of those entries, but even then they wouldn't give their hopes up.

(At the very least, the Xbox 360 version of Revenge has since been made backward compatible with the Xbox One.). On a different subject, many are unhappy that the PC version of Remastered isn't available on Steam, only Origin, when the original version is. It's as if EA is punishing you for using a platform that isn't their own. To make matters worse, the original version's online servers are now offline. Get ready to see dozens of online. Especially in Remastered, which has no DLC restrictions.

In a non-character variation, most online lobbies have the set to always be noon, likely for visibility's sake.: A race is triggered by holding the brake and accelerator at the same time, also known as a.:. The Carson GT Nighthawk. Let's see - One of the toughest cars to take down in a head-on collision? Great speed and acceleration? Easy to handle? It's best just to avoid getting into a fight with the driver of one.

The Carson Extreme Hotrod, thanks to its peculiar boost mechanics (once you use the boost, it's on until you either crash or brake hard enough to bring the car to a halt), and extremely high stats, is possibly one of the few other vehicles to match the Nighthawk in terms of performance. Sure, all that speed might be too much at first, but once you get the hang of it, you become so blindingly fast the CPU opponents shouldn't even bother racing with you. It is also fast enough to let it Takedown cars twice its size (such as the ), making it also a great choice for Road Rage events. The Jansen P12 and variants (especially the Toy version, the 88 Special, and the ) are absolute monsters at Stunt Runs. The Carson GT Concept and the Montgomery Hawker do just as well, but the P12 gets unlocked much earlier than the last two cars mentioned.: The series tradition of Goddamned Traffic. Although there is a that allows you to get rid of traffic in Online Freeburn sessions in the console versions.

Traffic can also be turned off in the Vanity Pack 2.0 mod for PC. (See below for either one.).:.

Disabling traffic in the console versions can be done if you and a friend have the Cops and Robbers DLC, as the Cops and Robbers mode itself removes traffic. One person hosts an Online Freeburn session, then starts Cops and Robbers, then kicks out the other player from the session. (If it was a two-player session then Cops and Robbers ends automatically.) The other player then hosts an Online Freeburn session of their own and sends an invite to the previous host player. Once that person joins in, then the traffic will disappear. Players can easily beat their friends' Timed Road Rules with this.

It will also work for bikes, provided that the kicked-out player changes vehicles in a junkyard before hosting their new session. Said bug has also been used by Criterion themselves for an experiment on which is the fastest car in the game. There's a small part on a ramp outside of the Wildcats Baseball Stadium which counts as being in the stadium. /:. Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box release on PC.

On one hand, it is a graphically superior version of the game that contains a lot of content not found in the original release. On the other hand, you have a version of the game whose majority of new content being stuff that have been released in free updates for the original game note Party Mode being the sole exception; it's still premium DLC for the standard console versions. While lacking in other content.

Only the premium DLC car packs were released for download on PC, while neither the 'Cops 'n Robbers' game mode nor the Big Surf Island expansion ever saw the light of day on the platform. Even worse, the PC servers were shut down about a year later, so the Burnout Store is no longer available for computers. However, the premium car packs are still legally available for download on in the US and in the UK, and modders have aimed to bring Big Surf Island to the PC version with the 'Cops 'n Robbers' mode remains unavailable, however. Thankfully, Burnout Paradise Remastered brings the missing content to PC for the first time! However, unlike the original release, you can't get it on, only EA's own Origin service.

On a lesser note, the PS3 version was very impressive for running smoothly at release during a time when unreliable PS3 versions of multiconsole games were becoming a notorious issue. Remastered should also be praised for allowing 4K/60 FPS.

Native 4K on Xbox One X, checkerboard-rendered 4K on PS4 Pro driving and crashes on consoles. Hell, Criterion and Stellar Entertainment Software getting the long since ended RenderWare engine running on the eighth-gen consoles is something to applaud itself (although it probably wasn't too hard to give it an update). On the flip side, the PS4 version is plagued with random crashes and corrupted saves when connected online.: Showtime Mode replacing Crash Mode in Paradise.: The game doesn't allow you to switch between cars on the fly, instead having to drive back to a junkyard to change cars. For most part this isn't a problem since there's no event that's really impossible even if you take the wrong spec car, but the Burning Route events can only be started with a specific car.

Driving along the road, discover a Burning Route and want to complete it? You better hope you have the right car, or you'll have to drive 2 miles to the nearest junkyard and another 2 miles right back to do so.: 'Running Scared', which consists in successfully completing an Offline Marked Man event with the, is universally regarded as one of Paradise's hardest-to-achieve awards. Take note, it takes only two crashes to lose an Offline Marked Man/Road Rage event in that car. Thankfully for Xbox 360 owners, this is not one of the achievements found on their system's version of the game.: The Carson 500 GT Burning Route event is particularly reviled among most of the player base. Having to control a fast, but frail and extremely difficult to control car around the tight roads of White Mountain is certainly no easy task.: Burnout Paradise got this from long-time Burnout fans for taking the game out of its closed-circuit roots and thrusting it into an open world without a restart function (initially) or a useful compass. Very mixed, though. Again, it was still regarded better than the next (and last) Burnout title.: This game is a decade old and runs on a now-outdated engine, yet its graphics, especially the crashes, hold up very well today.

Remastered makes it look even better. 4K at 60 FPS, anyone?

Forum: → →Understanding the Vanity PackA few members and frequent posters have been wondering the logistics of smilingfrog's 'Vanity pack'. The pack consists of 25 previously un-drivable vehicles, Sponsor vehicles, A few bike fixes and a few community liveries.The pack contains a few vehicles such as the and un-driveable vehicles such as a limo, dump truck and crane flatbed truck. Those who haven't seen these within Burnout Paradise are those who haven't hacked the game's code as these vehicles are apart of Renderware.Renderware as many know has been the game engine behind the Burnout series and many other games such as the Grand Theft Auto series and most recently the Crackdown series. The engine itself was once a 'Middleware' engine which means that it can be used as a package for other developers.As an example, imagine Renderware as a Lego set, It comes with a lego man, lego car, lego building and lego plain.

You can rearrange this all you like with these assets and make a different game (Traffic vehicles in Burnout seen in NFS). You could use pieces from another lego set which is just blocks (Maya) and create your own assets and place them on the lego plain.The large trucks seen within the pack were most probably dropped due to their poor gameplay elements as vehicles this large may have cluttered streets making gameplay much more difficult or even disrupting other vehicles making it unplayable.Some vehicles can be seen in other EA games as some elements of Renderware have dissolved into EA's Open GL engine. For example all of the un-drivable vehicles in Paradise can be seen in Need for Speed: Undercover and the coaches even have the same 'All LIVE' advert seen around Paradise city. The larger vehicles can be seen in Need for Speed: Carbon and one can even be driven online and offline.The pack itself is a fine piece of craftsmanship with its inclusion of Community liveries and un-drivable vehicles. However it is let down in some aspects due to missed opportunities such as the names for these vehicles, for example 'Boom Wagon' could have been called the 'Hunter Septic Avenger' or 'Lifter' could have been the 'Carson Ball Dropper.'

Another aspect and an un-escapable one is the constant use of lolcat billboards which could be seen as a good inclusion except some are unreadable.- The Founder Of The Definitive Burnout Encyclopaedia - Australian Eastern Standard Time (GMT+10)Good overview, i never really know what's going on with these mods. However is this illegal? I'm pretty sure this kinda DLC could get you the ban-hammer if you get caught on Live with it? Anyway do we have a section and detailed pages on mods and hacks and stuff. We should have a template at the top of the page saying its a hack or mod, but its still Burnout, so we need it on here!Posted @: 06:52, February 26, 2010 (UTC).- North American Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4)This is for the PC version of the game only.Exlonox posted this at 11:17, February 26, 2010 (UTC)- The Founder Of The Definitive Burnout Encyclopaedia - Australian Eastern Standard Time (GMT+10)Oh well, still we need info on Burnout mods.
