Criterion Games has ambitious plans for
Burnout Paradise, promising updates to the game for
a full year after the game's release. They've revealed the
release schedule of their upcoming updates: "Cagney" will be available at the end of June. "Davis" will follow sometime in August. "Eastwood" will be next, in Fall. ("Bogart" is
less than a day away for PS3 owners.)
The "Cagney" update will introduce a new vehicle:
a SUV that's without boost (a first in the
Burnout franchise).
Custom soundtracks are also planned for that release.
However, we're most excited for August's
"Davis" update, which adds two new features: a nighttime mode, and motorcycles. The darkened skies of Paradise City will clear up traffic, allowing players to race in the streets with less threat of crashes. Adding motorcycles to the mix is a great idea, but we're wondering if the crashes will look even more brutal than those featured in
Motorstorm.
