Re: Burnout Paradise - Play and Help Thread - Part 2

Has anyone else noticed that you can't do flat spins in the Jansen 88 Special when in hover mode anymore?

I'm disappointed by this, I got my record flat spin in hover mode.

Re: Burnout Paradise - Play and Help Thread - Part 2

I've got a sneaky feeling that it'll be unveiled at E3 and be developed by Criterion, also featuring the Easy Drive menu.

Can't see it personally, I think if Criterion are doing anything else non-Burnout it'll be a sequel to Black.

Re: Burnout Paradise - Play and Help Thread - Part 2

They said there wont be a new Black for a while, also in one of their blog posts they said they'll have something new for us to play in September. The island should be out this month and thats the only remaining DLC for Paradise, for now anyway.

I'm probably clutching at straws but I'm desperate for a new SSX.

I personally don't think the island will be out this month, probably mid-June instead.

Re: Burnout Paradise - Play and Help Thread - Part 2

It seems that after an update, certain menu options are reset. If you press START or SELECT and scroll through the menus, you should find an option called "Voice Assistance" or somesuch. That allows you to switch his dulcet tones on or off.

I haven't noticed it. Gonna try today.

Also. Does anyone accidentally go from hover to road mode while doing barrel rolls or flat spins? I'm doing it constantly. I hate this stupid message about that. Why they don't remove it? Like I can't tell whether I'm in hover or not...

Interesting...

Would it not be announced on the Criterion website for a while first?

Going by previous updates I would expect to see the trophies added a couple of weeks before the update arrives.

I hope any new trophies are difficult to get this time, most of the others are too easy to get.

How can you do this when the handbrake doesn't work when in hover mode?

Nah, Cops and Robbers came out 26 days after the trophies were added to the PS3, that makes Big Surf Island's release date 9th June
Or I could just be wrong and a complete nutcase

They could be saving it for E3 to show off there with any other stuff they have planned.. then release it just after or during, just a guess.

Do we know a price for it yet? Is it going to be about the same as the C&R download?

Congrats on the 1000th post Daddydee mate.

Does this game have custom soundtracks. I'm sure I read somewhere it did.

Oooo, cheers, I never noticed, honest.
It only took me 6 years, but I got there.

Yep, it has custom soundtracks.
