We're finally ready to unveil the first in a wide range of new Burnout Paradise content for 2009.
Our first pack of the year will be called Burnout™ Paradise Party.
Burnout Paradise is an awesome social game, but the action's all online. With Party, we wanted to create something for when all the players are in one place – gathered around a single screen.
Fans of the classic Crash Mode from Burnout 2: Point of Impact will know that this is not the first time we've done something like this. And we hope the response to Party is as warm as it was for Crash mode.
So, if you like to get together and play games, it's time to break out the drinks, party hats and balloons!
Now you can enjoy Burnout Paradise in a completely new way.
1. Get together with up to 7 friends and gather round a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. Here you can see us lining up for a little Halloween-themed fun with Burnout Party. You can see the full session in our latest Crash TV video podcast - it's The Halloween Special!
2. Start Burnout Paradise and get the Party Pack update from the Store or Xbox Live
3. Pause to admire the excellent new Party Edition visuals and atmosphere! We've overhauled not just the presentation screens but also the in-game visuals, which are now brighter and more colourful in recognition of Burnout's new party theme.
4. Select 8-player party and get ready for the action.
5. It's pass-the-pad, so you'll only need one controller to play, no matter how many players are involved!
6. The game selects a player at random and drops them into Paradise with a simple, fun challenge to complete.
