Burnout Paradise 'Cagney' update now available

by Jem Alexander on Jul 10th 2008 7:30AM

It's time to dust off your copy of Burnout Paradise today as the latest update, codenamed "Cagney," is now available for download. Simply stick the game in and boot it up and you'll be welcomed by an update screen asking you to download the almost 400mb patch. This latest patch adds a further 70 Freeburn challenges to complete online, improved SD rendering, custom soundtracks, new cars and more. Best of all? It's completely free.

Criterion will continue to add to the Burnout Paradise experience this year with further updates which will include trophies, motorbikes and ... planes? If you haven't yet picked up Burnout Paradise, then now's a great time to do so. With it selling for only $40 everywhere, you really have no excuse.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

This is awesome, got the update about an hour ago. It's relit my like-fire for Burnout Paradise.
I have a question though.. Why are the burnout team continuing to update this game for free..i'm not complaining.. but why?
another thing..they must be amazing programmers to get this gorgeous graphic, 60fps, open world, streaming from the disc.

I wondered the same thing...came up with a few ideas:

1) Encourage people not to sell/trade their used games (less used games on the market = more new games bought = more money for them)

2) Just to build up the fan base / word of mouth / good press

3) They had all these features on the "road map" but they didn't make it into the final release.

I agree they are amazing programmers, kudos...I just don't know why we don't also have DLC that we can purchase...seems like good fiscal sense to me...so many mediocre games try to get more cash with DLC...why not a kick ass game like this one?

To make people like me go out and buy the game 6 months after release :)

The motorcycles for the next update will be payed DLC

I'd guess revenue from in game ads. (those Vizio/CompUSA billboards)

Do you think you'll have to replay the game from the beginning when they add trophies, or will you automatically be given a pile of trophies for the targets you've already met?

From what I've read so far it sounds like a lot of the Trophies will be awarded automatically for achievements already met, as your in-game awards are saved against your PSN ID rather than a save file which can be copied...

You will not have to replay the game to get trophies. The uinique way Burnout Paradise links your gamesave to your PSN ID keeps cheaters from using the gamesave of others. Once trophies are released for Burnout, you will automatically get them for whatever you've already completed.

I'm looking forward to trophies being added to this game soon...

It's only £17.99 at Play.com as well.

where do you find that? Its £26.99

Gone back up to £26.99 on Play, but only £17.98 on Amazon

Am i doing it right? :)

How do you get the custom soudtracks?

Go into the Easy Drive menu and scroll to the bottom.

Woooh! just in time for my birthday! Hell Yeah! =)

So Burnout uses an in-game custom track list or is it available via the 2.41 XMB option?

In game.

Soon as the trophies are put in the game, this will be a purchase for me..

i havent even started playing this game yet havent got around to it and i've had it for like 3 mths now ,. it's gonna be pretty awesome by the time i do LOL

I can't get it to update, it stops at around 80% every single time. This is the 5th attempt now. Hows it going for everyone else?

Dust it off? It hasn't had a chance to collect dust, I'm too busy playing it.

Last night I got pwned on line by some dude who took me down mercilessly, even when I switched to a van and a 4x4. Must unlock his car for myself.

Great game, great on-line play, and fabulous update from Criterion.

Awesome game. Great update.

Comments not working here....

...oops, sorry for the multi-post

Criterion, Insomniac, and Naughty Dog have always been my favorites..

This bumps Criterion up even more. Great all around.
Wish everybody could program and design a game as well as these guys.

alright woohoo but?

But come on people have we forgotten what made the series great beside the amazing crashes the 2 player mode were`s my 2 player mode criterion no 2 player me no buy the game

I just picked up the game and am almost done with the update installation.

Hooray for $40 games.

So how are the planes or is that a later update? How many are there?

Good thing i waited for gamestop's additional 25% off used ps3 games coupon to go with my 10% off EDGE card to equate to a grand total of $24.59.

Criterion r from what i can see the best dev team EVER! even their last gen stuff like Black was amazing. Hopefully they will squeeze even more juicy stuff out of paradise
