Bumping because the release date for the Cops and Robbers DLC pack has been announced as April 30th.
This one should be more interesting than the last few DLC packs, as it includes a new game mode, and the Police liveries are looking pretty cool.
Also, just wanted to post in this thread to make it known I'm one of the PS3 owners that plays this game. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm interested to hear more about this Cops and Robbers mode, and whilst the pack does look like it has the potential to be ace the issue for me is going to be pricing. So far all of the Burnout paid-for DLC has been well overpriced and has put me off entirely and I fear this is going to fall into the same issue. Guess we'll see though.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Excellent. Another game (and game mode) to squish Omagnus from above in.
Like our British friend, I hope the pricing point doesn't suck. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? #654: Braixen |
I got the game a month ago , beaten it alredy and loved every moment.
I can't play online becuse my internet connection is shitty but this game is awesome offline aswell . I think there should be more "action" in racing games insted of those realistic games like Forza motorsport .(It isn't a bad game, I just didn't like it so much [my opinion]) Most amazing jew boots |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
There's now a price for the rather fun sounding Cops and Robbers mode (and included 33 police updates to various cars): 800 points (or $10). It's a lot better pricing that previous content, but it's all down to how many people are likely to pick it up as to how worthwhile it is. Anyone planning to get it?
FELIPE NO |
Ten bucks for what's essentially still one mode is still a bit of a rip, although you're right, it's far less of a rip than the prices they've been charging for single skins. I hate to sound like the radio brothers, but this is something I would have bought no fucking question at 400.
At the point this is all at, I'm hoping we get something like "Ultimate Box Mk. II" down the line that contains all four thousand dollars worth of the paid DLC. Wouldn't need to be only 30 bucks or anything, but cut your fanbase some fucking slack here guys. Most amazing jew boots |
It's rather annoying that the first Burnout game I didn't like much is the one they've decided to keep adding bits too.
I keep meaning to try and get back into the game but can't find the time. Maybe I'll play it a bit over the bank holiday weekend and see if I still don't like it. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I dunno, sales of the complete box have been ok as I understand it so there will be plenty of new players online.
Whether or not any of them will be racing instead of just driving around in circles like twats is a different question of course. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
PUG Burnout games are almost entirely freeburn challenge completion. I don't think this will ever change.
While this is hardly bad, the automatically split userbase that comes from paid DLC sure isn't going to help matters any. How ya doing, buddy? |
Are there actually any decent high-speed arcadey street racing games available at the moment? I mean ones where you might get in a race online once in a while obviously.
I mean, Burnout is mainly people driving in circles crashing into each other and the next Need for Speed is a circuit racing game so apart from Outrun, what are your options if you want to drive fast into oncoming traffic? Does anyone know if that Midnight Club game is any good? How ya doing, buddy? |

I bought it last week. Probably around the same time you did. FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Screw you guys, I'm buying Cops and Robbers when it hits on Thursday.
Crash TV Episode 32 is out. It goes into greater detail on Cops and Robbers mode. Fixes added with the latest game update:
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Cops and Robbers is fun, and enough people bought it (at least for PS3) that I was always able to find a game.
It turns out that if you start a game with non-C&R-owning people in the room they can still just freeburn around while the game is going on. Same for people who join after the game is started. It's strange though because they still get boost so they can really fuck with the players. It was amusing because I hosted a game and Rockgamer joined. He didn't have the DLC and he was driving the Inferno Van. So we'd be playing Cops and Robbers and he'd be following us around. If the battle over the gold stayed in one place for too long he'd come careening through and take out everyone. It was like a timed environmental hazard. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
That sounds....awesome.
You other xblive dudes get this so I can disrupt you all. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |

Big Surf Island Trophies have been added to the PSN (go to "compare trophies" to see them) so it'll probably be out within the next few weeks. It appears that the island has "mega jumps" instead of the super jumps we are used to.
Edit: Release data announced as June 11th and preview trailer is up. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Bumping with more island news. Two new videos that detail some of the features of the island and even show some of the new vehicles you can unlock.
new offline challenges new mega jumps new gate smashes 1 new event type 10 new online challenges 12 new road rules 9 new vehicles Price has been announced at $12.99 What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
So they are charging for it? That's kind of disappointing, since I remember hearing about the huge, free expansion that was coming back when I first bought the game. Not unexpected, and I'll still buy it immediately provided the island is large enough to warrant $13, but still disappointing.
FELIPE NO |
While this certainly looks like the best pay DLC they've released so far, I just don't play the game enough for me to justify paying over half of what I paid for the game for this. Even if I did play more, that price is still kinda hard to stomach just because it is so freaking high (though, based on the price of the other pay DLC, I can't say I didn't see it coming).
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
It does add 110 (seemingly easy) achievement points, if you're into that sort of thing.

Well, I think BP may be done and over now. One thing the BSI pack added was the Diamond P12, which is unlocked by completing all 500 online challenges. Also, BSI was the last DLC pack they've advertised and/or hinted at, so there's nothing on the horizon now.
Sadly I have heard that Criterion will be sent over to work on the new NFS game, so it may be quite a while before another Burnout comes along. How ya doing, buddy? |
