Burnout Paradise Updated to 1250

Burnout Paradise Updated to 1250
Written Thursday, June 04, 2009 by Alan Pettit

The upcoming Big Surf Island DLC for Burnout Paradise (due to arrive June 11th, if the banner at the top of Criterion's website rings true) will add an additional five achievements to round out its final score at 1250 (up from the idiotic tally of 1140).

To my knowledge, no price has been set.

Burnout got soo much great free content. This is definately a buy for me. Some new area will be great because the original city is getting a little repetitive a this point.

Really looking forward to this. Will be great. Cost doesn't matter too much considering the number of free updates they've actually put in the game already.

Look like very easy achievements and only 10 island freeburn challenges to complete? So are there no more updates to come after this, the achievement limit is now 1750GS so they could add more in the future?

@9 i doubt 1200 it doesnt look like their adding enough on this update to make it worth 1200...as you can see only 15 island events

@13 if its not at least 1200pts ill be surprised they've been working on this for 6-9 months, they could of made it 45 island events if they wanted but ,+ 8 new vehicles. The island is huge and considering how much they are chargeing for the cars, 1200 might be a wish.

This is a must buy and hopefully they add more freeburn challenges and achievements soon.

@15 These do seem very easy - SMASH 15 BILLBOARDS, but according to Criterion Site there are 45 billboards to find so why isn't the achievement for finding them all? The same with COLLECT 20 SMASHES again there are 75 to find so the achievement should be for finding them all? Would have added playtime to the DLC so seems strange they have made them so simple, also you only have to find the 15 events to get another achievement not actually complete the 15 events. The achievements that have been added from the previous DLC have all been pretty crap considering how fun the original ones were.

Perhaps this is not the complete list yet. I saw on a ps3 website that the ps3 version had alot more trophies to achieve than we have achievements.

@18 PS3 has no trophy limit as far as I know, so even with the free DLC content Criterion were able to add new trophies (like for the bike pack), where with Microsoft rules you can only add so many and usually have to charge for the content if achievements are added.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
