Burnout Paradise Cagney update not delayed for PS3

by Nick Doerr { Jul 4th 2008 at 10:00PM }

Have you heard the news that Burnout Paradise's update known as Cagney has been delayed? Fear not, PS3 fans! While we've become fairly accepting of delays and assume any game or update getting delayed is due to the PS3, this way of thinking is incorrect in this case. The PS3 update is still scheduled to go for July 10, but the 360 version has unfortunately been pushed back a few days. All is not sunshine and rainbows, though. Sony Korea has yet to approve the update, so until they do, this won't get released. It's still expected by July 10, but if not, we know which Sony headquarters to give the hairy eyeball.

@ImBakinBacon:
He's right, thats no joke, it's just TONS of pure AWESOMENESS bundled nicely into an updat

Ya, I saw the plane idea too. They mentioned it on their update post on the forums. Might be kinda interesting if they did it right. Maybe have some type of challenge based around it too.

haha what if old snake was on the plane? ahahaha that would make my day and i would probably go to best buy and buy 3 copies of the game and give it to my friends without it. i love criterion. alas, my wishes will go unanswered though.

No trophy support, maybe 3rd best dev ever after Konami.

lorddshadow @ Jul 5th 2008 8:13PM

@ popfrogs

MexicanTerrorist @ Jul 5th 2008 7:49AM

A third party dev who actually likes the PS3?
YES!

JaseH @ Jul 5th 2008 12:40PM

Trophy support will be patched in.

But please, seriously. Trophies are pathetic, they are all for show. How the hell do they appeal to the older generation?? - It's as if were gone back in time to start collecting Pokemon cards or something. Give me a break.... a month ago you were all insulting the achievements idea, and now you're hounding for them just because they've arrived.

Trophies should be a "side" on thing. It should never be the defacto between making, or breaking a game or a Dev. Ain't what gaming used to be!

Anyway, that's my rant. Whatever.

Jaseh i completely agree with you. Trophies are stupid, they have absolutely no value. Just because the 360 has achievements doesn't mean we need trophies, c'mon sony stay original. I'd rather the devs spent more time on the development of the game instead of putting in stupid good for nothing trophies...

Just @ Jul 5th 2008 1:39PM

Did I miss something? The Cagney update features customs sound tracks. You need fw 2.40 on your PS3 to make that happen. So the rumours that 2.40 will be out monday are true?

wilboss @ Jul 5th 2008 6:19PM

Not neccessarily - PAIN introduced custom soundtracks before FW2.40 was released, using the in game Jukebox which was patched in.

Slade @ Jul 5th 2008 9:02PM

when this game gets trophies im going have to pick this up

Good to know that PS3fanboy is here to clear up these rumors. It's a shame with PS3's game delay record, these rumors although false are quickly accepted as fact.

Paradise is a great game and the developers responsible did a marvelous job on the PS3. I can't wait for the DL.
