Big Surf Island adds 15 events, 10 freeburn challenges to Burnout Paradise

What an awesome game Burnout Paradise is from start to finish. I mean, it's not enough the game rocked from it's original state, but with all this extra content it just keeps getting better. I so can't wait for this....

UPDATE: My new favorite Trophy/Achievement: Jump Through Deese's Donut

Who's Donuts? DEESE'S DONUTS!

I have cops n robbers but hardly ever play it because most strangers tend to be whiny 14 year olds or angry rednecks. Anyone from here have it, and play every so often?

XBL tag: "Rocket no 9"

also, Big Surf seems like a huge amusement park. awesome.

What ever happened to planes, seriously... Just an ongoing joke?

Criterion is really, kinda pissing me off with the teasing of this update. They've been going on and on about it for the last 6 months.

So are they actually going to set a date, or are they worried their little hype machine is losing steam?

Don't mean to hate, but 75% of the $30-40 of DLC I've purchased has been well overpriced. I'm glad I paid only $30 for the game off PSN so I don't really feel that ripped off.

Phenomenal game actually, but I'm not the only one who feels they are taking the piss a bit.

15 events...hardly the 'complete DLC sequel to Burnout Paradise' people were hyping it to be, but hell I'll pick it up anyway.

Building on the left is a pretty good match for Marina Towers in Chicago http://armknecht.com/store/uploaded_images/marina-towers-backup.jpg

Uhhhhgggg...I miss burnout revenge...and the older burnout games as well...paradise didn't seem much like a burnout game at all.

The number of events makes it sound like it's a small island, but the layout of the roads could make it much larger than I think it is.

three words and a punctuation mark: game-changing content?

...or is that two words?

This game rocks.

Who's still playing this game? It was fun for awhile, but it's just the same thing over and over and over and over....

I would pay for a crash mode though.

Boooo. Only 10 freeburn challenges is abysmally low.

i read this as 'big smurf island'...was sooo excited!

only 15 events? That's unexpectedly low.

I can't believe how few events and challenges this includes. What a huge disappointment. We're getting this instead of a sequel, and it's gonna be over in about 2 hours. I appreciate all the tweaks they've done and free challenges and stuff, but after more than a year I would rather have a full sequel in a new city. Weak.

oh, cant wait for this. wonder what the achievements are going to be though, as there aren't as many of those.

15 Events and only 10 Freeburn Challenges? I'm so disppointed. They have been going on about this 'HUGE' Update since the first DLC was announced more than 8 Months ago. 15 Events and only 10 Freeburn challenges is nothing and I could do all of these achievements within an Hour. I'm just dreading the price they are going to put on this. I've been a sucker and bought the rest of the DLC available. I'm incredibly proud of Criterion to continue backing this game til this point but lack of Freeburn Challenges are a huge disappointment for me for this DLC Pack. They better not charge us Seperate for the Dust Storm Buggy. But i'll sit back and wait and pay for whatever ridiculas price they charge.

I don't know why everyone is complaining... Big Surf Island, even with just 15 Events/10 Freeburn Challenges, is still something Criterion didn't even have to do. They could have easily just stuck to releasing new DLC cars and a few new gameplay modes... though I suppose its rather odd they didn't add 12 trophies to bring the total up to an even 100.

But anywho, they're taking the time to build a whole new area... its not like this is an existing area in the game that they're just adding events to - no, its an area that doesn't already exist, that they're building from scratch AND adding new junk to. And, if Paradise City is any indication, they're going to be putting a lot of detail and work into the Island.

The only thing I'm unhappy with is there's no DLC forecast post-Island... which makes me think this is the last of it before they begin work on Burnout 6. It still won't hamper my good times in Paradise, though... but that's just me.

I play it with my friends. We play it a lot more often now with the Cops & Robbers DLC. Yeah some kids are immature. I'll send you a friends request if you want to play.

after the massive ripoff that is cops and robbers, I am reluctant to purchase any more from these guys. for so long i have waited for bigsurf i just dont care anymore. according to the cops and robbers price this should only cost about 4800ms points and probably last me a good 10 mins.

all the goodwill from free updates is long GONE, respect minus for criterion. plus yeah how many times will we all have to download a 1gb update again. im so glad that every week i have to download a new massive update just to get online ffs. they really have lost it.

I'm pretty sure i saw the one of the burnout bloggers bragging (bbb) about how Burnout holds the most trophies for a single game. It's funny i'm 3% away from platinum ; but i don't want to buy a web cam. Clever ploy criterion.

Also CnR - waste of money if you ask me, yeh you get all those extra cop cars but seriously, most of the Freeburn time i spend is simply cruising around - it's rare for me to get a decent host who will be running games all the time. For most games i either get
1) Nothing at all
2) Freeburn Challenges Gallore for trophies
3) STUNT RUN STUNT RUN STUNT RUN
*sighs* if only there was preset games.
