Burnout Paradise is coming to PC

Filed under: , , , , , ,

Today EA Games announced that they are going to be publishing Burnout Paradise for the PC. This is the first incarnation of the franchise to arrive on the PC. According to EA, the game is being “rebuilt specifically for the PC” including an expanded multiplayer and new “community driven content.”

I always thought that the Burnout games would be better on PC. You can get better frame rates and customized controls, two things I thought the Burnout games needed. Hopefully it will be released on steam so I don’t have to go to the store to pick it up.

Hit the jump for the full press release. Continued…

Burnout Paradise patch gets recalled

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , ,

A little while ago I posted a news item about Burnout Paradise getting a big update. Well, today Criterion Games decided they were going to recall the update. “Why?” you might ask. Well according to them, there is an issue in the patch that caused the game to have poor frame rates when driving at high speeds, which is always in Burnout. Criterion promises to reissue the patch next week with all the kinks worked out.

I have to give some respect to the Criterion guys. It takes a lot of balls to admit you screwed up; and because they admitted it, players wont be stuck waiting in the dark for a new patch.
