There’s a totally destroyed car heading right for me with all the momentum its jauntily-angled wheels can muster. Its front bumper has been completely torn off, exposing its engine block, which is midway through dislodging itself from the rest of the chassis and is angrily spewing fire as it does so. The driver’s face is obscured behind a simple black helmet, which boasts a terrifyingly emotionless countenance.

The Ultimate Box will contain the previously-released Cagney and Bikes DLC plus something called the Burnout Paradise Party pack.
The Party pack is an offline multiplayer mode where players compete in different stunt, speed and skill events. According to the release, "the mode is designed to allow up to eight friends to 'pass-the-pad' in dozens of quick-fire, turn-based challenges."
The Party pack will add a restart option added for racing and easier control of the early vehicles and will be made available as DLC for 360 and PS3.
PlayStation 3 owners will get the new Burnout Paradise Network which is an online friends list and news page.
Full details after the break.

]]>There's a video after the break of the Burnout Paradise Back to the Future mobile burning and floating.
The clip's unfortunately bereft of purple Calvin Klein pants and potential mother-sex, but it's a noble effort. Thanks, Kotaku.
]]>Criterion and EA launched the Burnout Paradise Bike Patch this morning, and you're probably wondering what it looks like and what it's like to play. Fear not: we're here for you.
After the drop is a video of us playing from the beginning of the update, which takes you straight to a junk yard and presents two bikes to you immediately.
There's a full race challenge included in the video, which we won. Obviously.
A few things to note:
- There was no boost on the bike we were using at all.
- You can see a crash in the video. There's no animation when you pile into a wall: the screen just fades out and you're back on the road.
- The handling's very forgiving, as previously known. You have to properly "crash" to balls it up.
Take a look. For the record, this is shot from the 360 version.
]]>Burnout Paradise will release as a completely downloadable game on PSN this autumn for the silly cheap price of $30.
"Our mission at Criterion is to provide the most entertaining gaming service possible," said the developer's studio boss, Fiona Sperry.
"In order to do that, it's key that we have the ability to deliver content to players in ways that work for them - through quick and easy download or via traditional bricks and mortar.
"For us, the fun is in playing the game with friends and constantly discovering new surprises in the world. Download packs with meaningful new gameplay are the perfect way for us to keep entertaining fans and keep them playing, even months after launch."
If you don't already own it, you'd be a bit daft to not get the constantly expanding racer this time round, frankly. Press release after the link.
]]>MTV's had a play with the upcoming motorbikes in Burnout Paradise, giving a heap of information about how bikes don't smash into bits, riders simply vanish when you plough into walls and how wheelie length is measured.
]]>After the break. It's extremely s**t quality, but you can see what's going on. Hopefully we'll get a better look at this stuff sooner rather than later.
]]>As confirmed by this US PlayStation blog post, the Cagney update for Burnout Paradise is now live for the racer's PS3 version.
]]>Criterion has announced that the Burnout Paradise Cagney update for 360 has been put back by four days. The PS3 version however, is still on track.
]]>Criterion's announced that its Burnout Paradise Cagney update will go live at 9am UK time on July 10.
It's a biggie, including three new Freeburn modes, new liveries, new cars and plenty more.
The full feature list's after the link.
]]>On Criterion's site. Looks sunny. The Davis update releases for Burnout Paradise in August, and it looks as though the developer isn't messing about when it said it was going to do DLC properly. Take a look. There's a movie after the break as well.

]]>According to this post in Criterion's site, PS3 Burnout Paradise players will soon be able to upload their save file and have it analysed.

]]>According to Criterion's site, a huge update to Burnout Paradise will be made available on April 24.
Codenamed "Bogart", the update's a pretty serious patch, addressing the top ten bugs reported by users so far and fixing a bunch of other audio, visual and gameplay issues. Click through for the full list.
]]>According to Criterion's site, Burnout Paradise has now passed the 1 million sales mark. The developer reckons this now takes entire series sales passed 15 million. That's an awful lot of millions. To put it into perspective, GTA to date has sold 66 million units. Big up the Criterion massive.
]]>Criterion has released two new short movie clips showing off the first transformation Burnout Paradise will take via DLC.
"We’re not wasting time on flashy edits, faked screenshots, or pre-rendered “game footage”. This is live and direct – the beginning of the transformation of Paradise," the developer said on its website.
"We’ll show you what we’re doing and we want to hear what you think."
The movies show "the continuation of the Dust Storm’s journey out of Paradise City and into the first of our new locations" and a "brief aerial reveal".
Watch them both after the link.
