Burnout Paradise Islands DLC will be free

by Dustin Burg on Mar 14th 2008 11:30AM

Fantastic news for Burnout Paradise fans who were looking forward to the upcoming "Islands" downloadable content. We just learned that the content is going to be offered for free! Criterion's own Alex Ward jumped onto their official forums to confirm that the upcoming Island DLC will be a free download and will add new locations as well as new vehicles to the mix. But don't get used to receiving free Burnout Paradise DLC, as Ward make it clear that other DLC releases in the future will be paid content. No worries now though, because we have free DLC headed our way, new vehicles to crash and new bridges to burn.

Fuck YEA!

Criterion loves fans!

This is going to be great when it comes out!

Thats not even an island in the picture lol. Or maybe it is but I cant see any land in there completely surrounded by water.

Sweet...

good news indeed

HELL YES!
I'm getting Burnout Paradise this weekend so this news is all the better.

If Criterion really loved their fans why would they have taken the best parts of burnout away from the game and forcved people to play together only if they had seperate consoles?

I'm happy for some free DLC but i'd rather they patched the game to have:
- warping between junkyards
- splitscreen
- crash events
- optional "yellow arrow barriers" for default routes.

IE, make it burnout, and not a bastardisation.

Here we go again with "this is not real burnout" crap..
Please go to criterion forums and whine there

It'll be like Crackdown, you NEED to first bit of DLC which is free, then all the cool stuff it throws into the world you have to pay to unlock. Sounds fair enough to me, if it makes the game longer then why not?

Yay to free DLC!!
