Here come the Po Po: Burnout Paradise police chases hinted

The Burnout Paradise trailer for the Ultimate Box has more sirens blaring around than you thought. As D+Pad points out, it looks like the trailer pretty much confirms the return of police cars (previously seen on the PS2's Burnout 2: Point of Impact) to the game.

Here's the video trailer once more, keep your eyes peeled somewhere before the 20-second mark and the 1:00-mark.



And no, I don't think it's the Ecto-1 Ghostbusters-inspired car from the Legendary Pack. If your eyes are quick enough, the word POLICE is easily readable on the back-side of the car, with a PCPD acronym on the side (Paradise City Police Department?) - flash forward to the 1:00-mark and you see the same PCPD icon getting its own slot in the Burnout Store. Which means... chases!

It's unsure when the new content will be arriving and in what form. Will it be an exclusive freebie to those who are buying the Ultimate Box? Will it be another upcoming DLC pack that's yet to be revealed? Keep those fingers crossed - let's hope we hear from Criterion Games soon!

The Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box edition for the PS3 and Xbox 360 will hit retail on Feb 6.

I swear there was already 2 Police cars already. The Hunter Citizen and pcpd special F1. I wonder if they even ever played burnout.

There is a hint about the police but not this one dumb asses.

There are 2 cop cars in the game already!

Pause at 1:00, the in-game store is being browsed for add-ons yet to come, and what is that? the PCPD logo!

There is clearly a police related thing coming to burnout but not the frikking cars.

Burnout 2 had police chases, so that might be in this pack.

Think before you post news items, thanks! ^^

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I was actually just about to say... I realized I've forgotten about the other cars and then found your comments. Thanks for the proding. Hehehe! Anyways, it's all good. Article's been edited.



BTW, if they do add police chases and other police related content, I do hope they still also roll out more police cars too. Sedans, pickups, motorbikes, etc. Hehehe! That's be fun! A whole squad of police cars racing in Paradise. LOL

» if they add police support

similar to the gameplay in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, I will go out and buy the game immediately. If they add split screen competitive racing, I will literally spray my pants.



I mean, half the fun of racing games is racing against your friends, not just some wierdos you meet in HOME who you dont give a ***** about. It's about being in the same room as them, and having a blast. I think that's why CoD 4 and 5, and pretty much every Wii game, are so popular. I can't believe there was split screen multiplayer from the start in this game!!!

To me it just seems like it'll be extra cars. But chases would be awesome.
