Burnout Paradise's Cagney software update coming July 10 |
Ó
If you love Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360), then you'll be glad to know that a new update is headed your way. Criterion Games has announced that the Cagney update will be made available to racers everywhere on July 10, 9:00 a.m. UK time. As promised, you'll be getting 70 new Freeburn challenges, custom PS3 soundtracks, and a host of other goodies.
Interested in finding out what's in store for you? Then check out this list below, and look forward to the new update by honing your driving (or smashing) skills on the virtual streets of Paradise City.
3 New Freeburn Game Modes:
- Road Rage
- 8-player team event. One team must race through a series of Paradise City checkpoints. The other team must stop them.
- Cue incredible chases and battling through the city, tons of voice communication as players co-ordinate their efforts.
- Stunt Run (vs)
- Pull stunts to score points - hit barriers, billboards and ramps; ace barrel rolls, flat spins and massive airtime to score big. Everybody competes to simultaneously - hit your rivals to kill their scores and gain multipliers.
- Marked Man
- A player is selected at random and everyone gangs up to take them down. The Marked Man scores for reaching the end point intact and taking anyone down along the way.
- 70 new timed multi-part Freeburn Challenges
- Leaderboards for these challenges that log your best time (as well as those people who did it with you)
Vehicles
- Hunter Olympus
- A secret Criterion Car!
- Rossolini Tempesta Dream
- Two fan-created liveries – the Oval Steel Racer and Inferno Hippie Van
- A secret Criterion livery!
- Too much to report in this blog entry but click here for the full breakdown (External Link)!
- Custom Soundtrack support on PS3
- If you're in a 3 or more player challenge and a player drops out, the remaining players can still complete it (subject to it being a challenge that can handle this!)
- "Previously" section on the search games list now displays Challenges, Today's Best and Freeburn game modes, making it loads easier to decide which game you want to join
- You can now view Leaderboards and Options in an online game
- You can now mute other online players in the show players screen
- You can now mute yourself if you have a PS3 Eye/Eye toy
- We've increased time-out for online races, and if all players complete the races within the timer, then you go straight to results
- The Airfield has been changed to help with the drivability of the area and make it a little easier to complete the hoop challenges
- Online cars now show damage - roll up to the start in a half-destroyed Hunter Cavalry and everyone else will see it!
- Added an stronger display message if you rule all of Todays Best
- The Easy Drive menu & Challenges page now loops from top to bottom
- Fixed the navigation system so that it takes into account the next check point in a race
- Fixed traffic not reappearing in Freeburn after a no-traffic race
- Fixed online races using Lawrence Road – it's been reporting finish distances with a little inaccuracy
- Revised 30+ car resets following crashes
- All new sound effects added for Easy Drive
- Driving backwards in Road Rage now ends the event as it does in Marked Man
- Option to invert camera axis for the look around camera on right stick

I have been waiting for this patch both for the custom soundtrack and as the better sd rendering as i am still in the stone age in that respect.
Great to see all this content added for free if only it happend more often.
Such a nice free update, and custom tracks! I am glad I got this game for my PS3, I will be online in burnout and GTA IV till MGS 4 comes out :)
Blimey... now that's an update!
This is such a good game. I'm suprised by the lack of attention this game got!
They didn't fix the hud, making it an option to remove the hud itself when in online mode. ULTIMATE FAIL and I used to love this series. Have all PS2 and PSP games. They let me down on this one....
Looking forward to the custom soundtracks.. but this would be included with Ingame-XMB? i guess they are two different things.. one is to play your own music no matter what you are doing in the game (ingame xmb music) or picking your tracks and the game starts/stops tracks depending on the game, such as like radio stations in gta4 / Burnout paradise (Custom soundtracks)
1080i yeah!
