Burnout Paradise bike update to be free
by August 5th 2008 8:11 PM CDT0 Comments
Great news today from the Criterion Games camp. Next month's Burnout Paradise Bikes Pack (or The Pack Formerly Known As "Davis") which adds motorcycles and a day/night to the game system has now been announced to be free immediatly upon release. Criterion also pointed out that the day/night cycle affects traffic and the events that are available. Straight from the horse's mouth:
"We’ve got two rides ready to go – Day 1. Just head for your nearest junkyard in Paradise City to pick up the FV1100 street bike and the stunning Japanese Firehawk racing bike. That’ll do for a start, but there’s more in store once you’ve played a little way through the bike-specific gameplay."
Originally the plan was to charge for the pack so this is a surprising and welcome turnaround. On Monday the Cagney update was released for free on XBL and added a new calendar feature, over 70 new freeburn challenges, and new vehicles. Let me congratulate EA and Criterion Games for such amazing support for their title nearly eight months after it's release. That's how you do DLC, gaming industry. Bravo.
