New DLC coming to Burnout Paradise...hover car?

November 08, 2008 in News comments 14

Okay, heres another DLC coming to BP: The Jansen 88 special, which is a part of a 4 car pack. According to criterion, the boost button triggers burning flame trails from the rear wheels, and hitting L3 triggers hover mode, very like Back to the Future.

Fill the gauge and hit boost to trigger burning flame trails from your back wheels. The 88 Special’s fast, manoeuvrable and great in the air.

In fact, if you want to take off, this is just the car for you. Hit L3 to switch to hover mode – the wheels retract and the car takes off and hovers through Paradise City at head height.

Seriously. It hovers.

    I know I stated this before, but it need to be restated. Burnout Paradise has to be the best Multiplatform game of all time. There's no way all this support for the game with the DLC of this nature and now flying cars all being free. Criterion, you have no been officially been named the best developers of all time imo.

      Whilst I disagree with "best Multiplatform game of all time" claim, I do understand your emotions towards it. Burnout: Paradise has been given HUGE amounts of support long after release. Its a fantastic racer which continues to sit in the consoles of many because of the support that Criterion is continuing to provide.

      I have to disagree Slumpy, Criterion has given BP so much support, with new islands, night and day mode, many more car packs, new challenges, motorcycles, a new island soon, and now more cars and one hover car at the expense of being free? All DLC this huge for free? Sorry with that in mind I do not ever know anyone who can trump something this huge , not even Battlefront. Its been the norm that 360 has been given the DLC advantage so far this generation, but Criterion has made everything including the game practically equal for both platforms. Neither of the games are superior, all equal. I mean from this how can you say its not the best all time? Im not just talking about the game here, just all the support this game has receive, and as far as I know, I don't recall any multiplatform game(with my gaming knowledge) do anything this big before.

      z fighter Criterion has stated in the past all the DLC and extra content they were making for Burnout this year and next was all coming for free. Its been the stable of the whole added content since they announce it. So I doubt its going to cost anything, not to mention I have been searching through the web and even Criterion homepage and haven't heard anything official of it being paid.

      As I told Slumpy Killosity, I have my reasons why this game is the best of all time. I have never met any developer in the time of my gaming make this multiplatform game identical as well as giving all this DLC for the game all for free. Never. And thats why its the best.

        quote Criterion
        They’re available to buy individually or discounted, if you pick up the whole set. In addition to the Jansen 88 Special, look out for the Cavalry Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and the GT Nighthawk!

          Im going to wait, but it sounds like they're hypocrites to their claims many times before. Unless this is entirely separate DLC then what they had plans with the others then I could possible retract that statement.

          Regardless of this, my original post about Criterion and DLC is the same.

    Quite Frankly, this is RIGHT AT THE TOP OF MY LIST for the new packs, I can't wait to find out what the other three cars do! If they each have a special add-on, like the Jansen-88Special's hover mode, then there is no doubt in my mind about it being one of the greatest add-ons of all time!
    Although they all cost, I doubt they will be expensive (I'd say about 3 pounds ($5 US) if you buy the set ). totally worth it!
