    I'm holding out for the free DLC. Which is taking forever btw.

    Yeah its been nearly 3 months now... o_O

    Haven't really got the time/patience to go around and find all the billboards/jumps/smashes, but I've got around 90%+ of all of them. Thats good enough for me :) Just gotta find a place to pull off a quad-barrel roll :lol:

    Whats everyones favourite area for multiplayer? Gotta say the Airport has my vote. Nothin' quite beats the awesomeness of flat-spin barrel-rolling off the ramp, through the suspended fuselage and landing safely :D Although completely fucking it up and crashing spectacularly is awesome too.

    There's a special place in my heart since I actually found the race track while playing offline and showed a few people where it was. However for fun, I like the Quarry since it's got that nice place for a triple (maybe Quad with enough speed) barrel roll and then you can turbo drift for HOURS down in the pit.

    Quarry with the X12. Fairly easy quad.

    And free DLC is coming in a couple of months. The next release is 'Bogart' (for whatever reason), which includes a bunch of bug fixes and online balancing. That's out at the start of next week. 'Cagney', release 1.3, is going to be the one with all the content - new island, and such, if I remember right. There's progress videos on their website. Can't remember if it's Cagney or the one after that but eventually there's going to be online Marked Man, Road Rage, and Stunt Run.

    Bogart is only bug fixes and stuff to balanced ranked races. All the new modes are coming in Cagney (but not the island, as I previously thought).

    And the licence above the A is the Burnout licence. Above that (completing every single event) is the Elite licence. And above that (every event, billboard, smash, jump, road rule) is the Criterion Elite. Which I just got. :)

    oh bun that shit then...I don' think I could do all that...dear god just think of my brain! I must say I enjoy the the new crash effects, variety of cars and the sense of speed. But for some reason I didn't like the open world, and I found it kinda repetitive. At least it wasn't as bad as Assassin's Creed....

    The quarry is in the south west. Come off the South Bay Expressway, turn right, drift up the road, and there's an entry to your left at the top of the hill. With a big sign saying 'Quarry'. :)

    Lone Stallion Ranch, head west of it for a bit and the south side of the road you'll see the entrance.

    yes. Its in White Moutain. There are always 3 buses parked in front of it. And a Gas Station. Its on the road that runs along the water. There is also another baseball park next too it. Much less noticable though.

    Bikes look like an awesome idea but having bikes with riders while all the cars are still Christines seems pretty weird. And planes? Planes? How?

    Also hell yes to nighttime. Will there be day-night cycles now? Shweet.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    The site says that the PS3 doesn't have this problem. The problem was keeping things at 60 fps on the 360 by streaming data from the HD. Apparently they couldn't keep it locked at 60 fps and pulled the update.

    They're testing out flying planes around. During their live podcast today one guy flew one around, and swooped down to get a billboard he needed.

    They might not. In their podcast they said 'This is not Burnout on bikes, this is bikes in Paradise City. You're not going to be kicing people off bikes or anything.'
