[edit] Must be something to add to this?

I know there isn't really a plot or anything, but for a highly anticipated game, there must surely be something that can be added? It's quite striking how short it is. Wissam24 (talk) 16:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article move/rename?

Can someone move this? The name was officially announced today(April 30th) as Burnout Paradise. --Phnx8387 14:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

And it's supposed to be winter 2007 according to the EA press release http://info.ea.com/news/pr/pr935.pdf

isn't this suppossed to be Burnout Paradise not BurnOut Paradise 71.247.85.63 18:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boxart/logo...

If the game's boxart is known, you can take down the logo and add the boxart instead. I just put the logo there as a placeholder until something more conventional came about. SuperSonicTH 16:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

No reason to show only the X360 boxart. The boxart is identical to the PS3 boxart (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/12/joystiq-impressions-burnout-paradise/) - a neutral image can be shown to not give preference to either system.

Its alright. I think my logo image got speedy-deleted anyway. It was openly available to the public, though (I got it off Criterion's website from their press-release about the game) but I'm not upset about it. SuperSonicTH 13:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the second car

I changed it to a more user friendly paragraph, so that people would stop changing it. Once a second car is widespreadly known, I'll change it back. [[User:SonicNiGHT|SonicNiGHT]] (talk) 17:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


Not to say I told you so... [[User:SonicNiGHT|SonicNiGHT]] (talk) 02:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I've checked the 2 sources listed for the 2nd car availible in the demo, but I didn't find anything about that car in the articles listed. Am I missing something, or is this still unverified information? Krabstarr (talk) 03:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I read the two cited sources,14 and 16, neither of which mention the ability to unlock a second car. I'm removing this part until verifiable proof is made available. CharlieFandango (talk) 12:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


There's no verified sources because everyone who unlocks it never bothers to go online and talk about it, lol. I'm working on getting screenshots of it right now. [[User:SonicNiGHT|SonicNiGHT]] (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a second car in the demo but it cannot be unlocked. The car in question is the Nakamura Ikusa GT and is only available in the Japanese Region (both PS3 and XBOX 360). If you want pictures go to: http://www.operationburnout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=600. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.92.195 (talk) 19:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boost Rules

I own the game and i have encountered no such option as this on either console (my friend owns the PS3, i own the 360). Can we have proof that it is in game or can we have it removed? (Reason i say give proof is because i haven't got the Burnout Liscense yet, so it may come then). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.73.108.198 (talk) 17:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

'I believe boost rules is each class of car. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.25.15 (talk) 15:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stolen Logo edits

This section was added by the "13 year old kid" who is claiming to have been stolen from. The link that accompanies it as "proof" is a dead end link. Isn't this sort of accusation considered original research, which is not allowed on Wiki? CharlieFandango (talk) 12:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Yup. It's a load of crap. You might aswell say "I painted a car blue, and there's blue cars in the game, so they were stolen". Sorry, I accidently reverted to the wrong version before. Fin©™ 20:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
It's cool bro, Sorry for adding the soundtrack listing back in, I though that I had accidentally deleted it when I removed the logo section. Did you create a page for the paradise soundtrack? It would make for some consistency across the burnout games' wiki pages.CharlieFandango (talk) 29 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't think some 13 year old loser created one of the letters of the Greek alphabet.pjh3000 (talk) 15:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Features

In the Features section, there is a sentence that says: "Now, instead of having preset junctions and predetermined traffic patterns, the player may crash in any location in the world, press both shoulder buttons on their controller and activate Showtime mode." The last bit starting from "press both shoulder" doesn't really make any sense when combined with the rest. I don't own the game, so I don't know what it's supposed to be, and as such I don't want to attempt to fix that up. Mjack32 (talk) 06:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Burnout-paradise-20071205052332290-000.jpg

Image:Burnout-paradise-20071205052332290-000.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Soundtrack

What happened to the link to the soundtrack page? Juicebarjoseph (talk) 21:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Confirmed Features" - doesn't this statement imply that the game hasn't been released yet?

I think this article needs to be updated ... many of the statements made imply that this is an unreleased game.

[edit] Vandalism

This page's content has been subject to vandalism. I have restored some content from the last edit I have deemed valid, but I had to do it by hand since it refused to undo automatically. Anyway there's still a lot to be done in order to revert it to it's earlier self. can somebody else plz help with that?? W.Darwish (talk) 11:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I've restored the the last version that was done by Smackbot. Only things missing from your edits from what I can tell were mostly references. CardinalFangZERO (talk) 12:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Patch?

No mention of the upcoming patch for this game?

[edit] Publisher Link

The second link at the bottom of the page redirects to www.criteriongames.com (the Burnout Podcast just let everyone know that now they want everyone to visit their home page instead of the EA.com page). Should be removed? --Tibbs (talk) 03:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lovin' the new islands!

The islands should be promising, as well as the bikes (I wonder if these two wheelers can hold up to an onslaught of crashes that they'll go through). My 360 got hit with the Red Ring of Death, though, so I'm unable to play it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.199.222.64 (talk) 23:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where's the release date?

Criterion Games announced night condition and bikes, and new routes, but where's the release date? Are they announcing the release date or they won't make any update releases at all? Just rumors, maybe? Also, Criterion is missing the Airport, which it is supposed to be in Paradise City. If Criterion is completely avoiding update releases, then I'm afraid that it may be a joke. 70.45.60.10 (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
