360 - Burnout Paradise - Live from Paradise; Criterion announce motorbikes, community features and planes! Excerpts from PS3 Attitude: "Yes - motorbikes are coming to Paradise, for the first time in any Burnout title."

"There is still some work to do in terms of bringing car vs. bike racing to the game - you won't be able to do that in Davis - but Criterion are committed to improving all of these new features over time. Road Rash for the 21st Century? Possibly!"

360 - Burnout Paradise - Burnout Paradise: Xbox 360 Bogart (v1.2) frame rate issue Criteriongames reports:

We're aware there are some framerate issues with yesterday's Bogart update on some Xbox 360s.

This relates specifically to the frame rate in streaming zones and does not seem to be an issue on all machines.

Thanks to everyone for all the feedback on the forums.

We're doing everything we can to resolve this as quickly as possible and will post further info on a solution as soon as we have it.

360 - Burnout Paradise - Burnout Paradise new software update codenamed Bogart (v 1.2) is now live on Xbox 360 Good news for Xbox 360 Burnout fans ¿ the latest software update (codenamed Bogart) is now live. PS3 version will be available on 24th April.

And here's a reminder of everything you can expect with the download.

The Top 10 problems reported by you have been fixed, these are:

* PS3 game can crash when a player is taken down and the player that has performed the Takedown leaves the game.
* The game indefinitely displays "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" if it's having problems communicating with the rebroadcast server.
* Disconnecting the controller before a race begins can mean that race timings can be manipulated with players who didn't cross the line first being awarded the win.
* Repeatedly joining and leaving a game with 8 players can cause the game to hang.
* Hammering the A (360) or X (PS3) after unlocking a car can cause the game to hang.
* East Crawford and Watt St achievements cannot be achieved if the player goes online and sets road rules before attempting them.
* Audio distortion when using 5.1 / DTS and looking back at the car.
* Enhanced 360 streaming performance stops instances where the game seems to pause for a second or so.
* Total time driven in player stats would stick at 145 hours.
* VoIP connection problems with 8 player games. This is now live on the Paradise City servers.

The update also adds the following game experience enhancements:

* We fixed Head-on Takedowns as these seemed generally unfair and unrealistic. Unfair low speed Takedowns have now been eradicated.
* Increase online race timer timeout so players have a greater chance of finishing the race.
* Fix drifting bug when drifting and boosting. There wasn't any real control on the brake so players would grind around the walls of the corners. Giving you all better control of the car.
* Stabbing the b...

360 - Burnout Paradise - Routine Burnout Paradise server maintenance every 2 weeks From the official site: "If you find the Paradise servers are not running on Tuesday mornings, that's because we run routine maintenance on them every 2 weeks at that time.

We usually run some diagnostics to check the servers are working well and deploy updates to address issues like disconnects or VOIP problems and generally make improvements to the service.

We try to minimise the disruption to you guys as much as possible ¿ this normally takes a few hours, but at the latest, the servers will be back up by mid afternoon.

We've just finished today's maintenance, so expect this again on 15th April and keep an eye on the site for regular updates."
