"That map was a 'prototype' and it's from 2 years ago .

In the latest podcast (Episode 14), they talk about it (and the airport) and hint that they may consider this for downloadable content (DLC). They're very secretive about what DLC will be released, although they do say that it's going to be something "special", and that only releasing new cars would be boring - so I expect it to be new game modes or a new area . I hope so, anyway. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

It would be awesome if it was the airport, though."

Some people say you can have too much of a good thing, but we say they can bugger right off. A cake is good, right? But are two cakes bad? No, theyre just more cake, and we like cake so well take all we can get. Om nom nom. In gaming terms, the only thing better than a great videogame is a great videogame that acts as the start of a great franchise. Final Fantasy, Burnout, Super Mario Bros… We love them not only because theyre great but also because of what they later gave us. The only ... » Read More

Kotaku reports:

"Here's a map of Paradise City for the upcoming Burnout Paradise. If you've played the demo, you'll recognize that tiny portion near the beach. It's the demo area. You'll also now realize that the final map is enormous. If you haven't played the demo, the same basic point applies: this map is freakin' huge.

19 Dec, 2007 Way back in December 2006 Alex Ward, director of design for Burnout Paradise, said "If you don't believe the crash is real, then it's not going to frighten you." So just how realistic are the crashes in Burnout Paradise? To find out we trawled the internet to find some footage of real test crashes, replicated them in-game, and put the two side-by-side. Hit play below to see the ... » Read More

In a case of getting things just right, EA announced this morning to MTV Multiplayer and GameTrailers that the soundtrack for next month's Burnout Paradise will feature Guns N Roses' 1987 "grass is green" and "girls are pretty" anthem Paradise City.

Slash and Axl aren't alone, of course. EA provided Multiplayer a first look at the games' 40-song rock-heavy play-list, which includes Alice in Chains, Twisted Sister and more.

But there are actually more than 40 songs, and more than just rockers on the roster. The game includes music from Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Boccherini and other classical composers. Has the crash-crazy Burnout series gone soft? The classical music tracks start playing when the player lets their Burnout car idle for several seconds. The game switches to a screensaver mode. The game's rich color palette dampens to black and white, the camera starts moving on its own, away from the player's idling car. And the classics play. Burnout has never been quite so civilized.

14th Dec, 2007 We took both versions of Burnout Paradise for a joyride around the city today to give them a proper comparison side by side. Being the generous souls that we are, we naturally recorded our games so that you guys could share in our findings. Both games look brilliant. It would take a black hearted swine indeed to deny that. But we can't help feeling that while the Xbox 360 version is perhaps slightly more vibrant, the PS3 edition takes the lead in in terms of looking noticably a ... » Read More
