I'll admit I tried this game not long after it came out, but struggled with it.
Since reading about the latest update (Cagney) I decided to give it another go. This time it clicked!!
Once I got my head around not needing to re-try each race after failing it (which seems to happen a lot) I started having a great time.

Anyone else had a similar situation?
I'm now torn as to if the next Burnout would be better with this format or going back to the previous (fixed race) format, which I also really enjoyed.

did you even say what game your talking about?

although im assuming burnout paradise, anyway, i starting replaying it after the last update.. and it seemed pretty bad to me. I dunno, since GT5P and GRID.. it just seems like Ridge racer to me now.. arcadey and a bit crap!

i played burnout paradise for about 10 minutes then turned it off. i like the old style burnout.

It's a devisive change, but one I've come round on. Just requires a different approach as to how you attack it. It's more like NFS: Most Wanted, which is no bad thing.

I'm really pleased by the updates Criterion are making, plus they're free. Bring on the bikes!

Any ideal when trophies will be added to this game?

I thought the update would be free but there'd be vehicles you can purchase within it?

I still can't work out how planes are going to be included!!

I'm a huge fan of Burnout Paradise and I think the franchise needed a new direction.  At the end of the day, they would have got plenty of flak for doing "the same old thing" in HD, so fair play for trying something different.

Criterion has also been messing around with [propeller] planes. This stuff is no further than the alpha phase, if they are even continuing with it.

The only problem I have with the new format is not being able to swap cars without having to drive across town to find a garage. Most of the time it's not too bad but it can be annoying when I run up on an event like a stunt run or something and I'm in a speed car wishing I had a stunt car. Other than that I like the fact that I don't get so hung up on retrying the same race over and over.
