Seddo Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Got this game, it's pretty decent. Anyone else notice the in game advertising? I have noticed vans driving around advertising gillete etc. Anything to squeeze a bit of money out of a game ay. I'm still debating whether to get the game, i'll see if my mates get it so then i'll be able to play online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerKabel Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I still only have the demo, But it's a good thing I know how to get outside those damn barriers How? I'm satisfied with the demo, it's not the kind of game I'd buy, but I like to cruise in the demo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainraja Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I don't understand why this is getting such high reviews. I think it's a step backwards for the franchise and I'd much rather play Revenge. Oh and the game doesn't actually have 75 unique cars. Some of those are just different variations of the same car. I don't think the variations count towards the total games the game offers at least that is the impression I got from the GT review.....but even so.....I think the game is put together very well and the driving is so much fun.

Skyline_Mad Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I got this game, and like it, probably better than the others, especialy with the fre/e roam. But the thing i hate about it, is the fact you can't restart a race if you mess up, you have to driveback to where it started to restart, i wish there was a restart race option in the menu, having to drive all the way back after coming in second after being first the whole race is f*cking anoying, most of the time i move on to another race thats closer instead of going all the way back.

KillerKabel Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Anybody managed to get past the roadblock? In the demo... I can't get up to the wall of the carpark, sucks.. I've been trying for 1 hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the variations count towards the total games the game offers at least that is the impression I got from the GT review Those do count toward the total. I have 45 of the cars and 22 of them are the alt variants of other cars. Never been a huge burnout fan, but this game is fun, better than the demo led me to believe. There are a few things about it I'd change (like the having to drive all the way back across the board to retry a race thing that Skyline_Mad mentioned), but overall it's a fine game. PяopagaиdaIиc.

Vive La France Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Got this game, it's pretty decent. Anyone else notice the in game advertising? I have noticed vans driving around advertising gillete etc. Was kinda weird. The poster for the company "CompUSA" turned out to be a real company when I googled it, and it turns out they were bought out and went bankrupt...

Skyline_Mad Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very quick question: How do you do barrel rolls? i cant remember what the guy said on the intro and cant be bothered to restart to see, is it only stunt cars that can do it? For PS3 version btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnyboy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 You need a stunt car and a split ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell No.. Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Aye, my highest is the 2x barrell roll at the moment. Anyone like Showtime? Its kinda growing on me. Managed to get the x10 achievement and took out around 110 vehicles. Im around 40% complete. Edited January 27, 2008 by Hell No.. I'm on Twitch! Are you?

G MONEY $$$ Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Saw another van and quickly snapped it on my mobile. Sorry about quality. Good 'ol EA innovation. Definitely not looking forward to in-game advertising becoming standard. Hopefully for not it'll only be EA that does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainraja Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) The way they are using advertisements in Paradise is okay with me. I have seen vans with labels like that....so it doesn't take away anything from the game. Why should they make up branding to make the city look real when they can get paid to have real ones in their game? The way it's done in Paradise is no big deal, really......I think so anyway.

Freakorama Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 It works for Burnout Paradise....because advertisements are mostly on billboards and vans like shown above....I mean, it's not like we don't see cars with advertisements like that in real, coke branded vans etc, I have seen them. I mean, should they make up branding for razors when they can just get paid and do it without having to make-up branding? Plus if you don't like whats being advertised on those vans, then just crash into them Turn them into a cube!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell No.. Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ahh just got all the Billboards and have around 40 smashes left to get. Gonna be some serious hunting. I'm on Twitch! Are you? Come say Hi. https://www.twitch.tv/priceyryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainraja Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I just got my Burnout License! And so far I have unlocked about 30 cars........this game's awesome.....anyone who hasn't picked it up yet really should......if not the best, it is definitely ONE of the best arcade racers man! I have been playing it pretty much everyday lately....it's an awesome game! What about the rest of you? How many cars have you unlocked and what car has been your favorite so far? (meaning what car did you pick to finish all your missions?) In the beginning I used the R-Turbo Roadster but after that when I unlocked the P12, I started using it and it's the car that I used to get my Burnout license.

In the beginning I used the R-Turbo Roadster but after that when I unlocked the P12, I started using it and it's the car that I used to get my Burnout license. Same here, i used the R-Turbo Roadster/Burnout Roadster and then once i unlocked it i used the P12/P12 Track Package, both the roadsters and P12s are Stunt cars. The Stunt Class boost cars seem to be the best overall cars to use (though usualy not as strong, but they make up for that with better handling). At the moment i'm 43% complete, Got an Class A License, I own 42/75 of the cars, Total time played is pointless to post as the other day i accidently left it on (that b/w screensaver with classical music) durng the day when i went out, and i think that time was added to my total time played lol Found all drive throughs etc... wont go into any more details, will be hear forever lol. When i unlock a new car, the first thing i usualy do is the Burning Route for that car, which then unlocks the Upgraded version (usualy not that much difference, 1 speed point substituted for a boost point etc...), so if your wondering how i have unlocked so many cars so far, thats why lol. Anyone attempted to Rule all roads yet? i've only ruled one road so far, and done 5 Showtime rules, but Ruling Every road must take ages to complete :S Also, has anyone used a picture from the internet (use Eye Toy or PS Eye to take a picture of the image on ur computer) or magazine etc... as their License pic? For some reason my friends think i look like Chuck Norris when i grow my beard, so i decided to use a pic of him, it actualy looks quite funny and real lol (the pic i used has Chuck with a white background, but only face can be seen), but its anoying when it keeps asking for you to take a pic everytime you win a race, if you disable the camera feed will it stop, but let you keep current pic? Just got my Paradise License. Its depressing when you see whats needed to get the Elite License! 116 wins! Ahhhh..... =/ Damn, i've only found 115/120 events so far, unless i find the rest i'm f*cked lol (does completing a Road Rule count as a Win? i cant remember if it does or not) Edited January 31, 2008 by Skyline_Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for disabling camera to keep the pic, probably won't work for later wins since it uses your avatar, I think it will stay for previous wins.....if it keeps track of every win....I think it does... I also have the Eye cam and I use it.....I just make faces everytime I win a race or something, lol. And I forgot to mention in my previous post but I also have the upgraded versions of the R-Turbo and P12 but I stuck with the normal ones because of speed (without boost).....so far the best cars I have found....I need about 45 more....lol Edited January 31, 2008 by sainraja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I lost every race in the demo so I'm not too anxious for the full version, will wait til I get it used. More keen on GTA4 next! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell No.. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I think for now im just going to go around finding the extras, ive already got all the Billboards and have around 20 Jumps and 30ish Smashes to find. Get a nice ride when you get all the Billboards, cant remember the name, but: You get 10 on Speed, 10 on Boost and about 6-7 on Strength. I'm on Twitch! Are you?
