Burnout Paradise will 'transform,' Criterion vows

by James Ransom-Wiley on Apr 4th 2008 1:30PM

We're most certainly taking Criterion's promise to "TRANSFORM" Burnout Paradise through a series of content updates too literally in our rendering above, but the developer's added emphasis just begs, What if...? Not one for serialized numbers, Criterion has chosen nicknames for its upcoming expansion islands, which will be distributed in this order: "Cagney," then "Davis," and then "Eastwood." We're assuming that the absence of a "Bay" upgrade essentially puts to rest our interpretation of Paradise transformed, but it doesn't mean Criterion won't consider our pitch. "We want to know what you think and you better believe we're listening to what you have to say," Criterion states on its blog. So, you listening?

Best Joystiq photo ever.

It's good, I grant you, but the Pong MMO picture was simply priceless:

Touché.

Agree, how come Joystiq's photoshop rocks or sucks...but never in between? hehe

Disagree. The Nintendo money Mario 1-1 pic they posted today was my favorite.

Yeah Joystiq has two extremes with their photoshops:

'Interwebs Legend' Status
and
'Dirty Whore Throwing Up On Jack Thompson's Ass' Status

they'd be stupid NOT to give us transformers!

It would have to be G1. Or at least anything that does not include Bay's piece of shit Transformers.

c'mon DEVESTATOR mod! :d

Split-screen multiplayer please!

Amen! Split Screen!

Agreed. The lack of this feature is the reason I don't own this game.

What, I like how games are consistently losing key features from gaming history!

All of a sudden I realize that Criterion could make an amazing Transformers game

Transcrashers.

Or they could make it even better by taking a page from Tom Clancy's book: Transcrashers X

I'd kill for Transcrashers... but it might be confused with transexual party crashers.

Lets see, Changes to that need to be done are well, KILL DJ Atomika then i will buy your game, Is it me but that guy just put you off buying any EA game, Imagine Army of two with that (although...nevermind) But any other EA game , If they remove that then well you have a good game!

you know you can turn him off in the options, he'll only pop up to babble about events occasionally

but you're right, DJ atomika is quite possibly as annoying as Navi at least navi never attempted to be witty to the extreme

The lack of the classic crash mode really dampened my need to purchase this game... so if they added it, who knows...

Thats the only thing that kept me from buying it. Give me a true Crash Mode and my money is theirs.

ABSOLUTELY.
ARE YOU LISTENING EA? BRING BACK CRASH!

@Otsego

You better be careful, without the 'mode' attached at the end of 'crash' they could think you mean a certain bandicoot. They could probably buy those rights.

I'd also love to see them branch out to water...boats...nice :-)

That's one of the coolest things about Warhawk. You can play a split-screen game online, so there's a team of "dabamf" for massacre purposes.

What? Citeron or Burnout?

Burnout boats wouldn't make sense :(

How would boats not make sense.
We're talking about DLC add-on's here. Not a full game.

Just have a few crazy jumps and gaps you can do. A few races.

I think it'd be cool
