@GrrSnort: idk what ps3 fanboys ur referring to but i never cared about it going multi i actually figured it would makes logical business sense so i could care less.@Moopman133: agreed!

theblade

@WatershipDown: So a console with more units sold to customers gets more game sales, who would of thought that. Next you might realise that when the sun goes down it's night.

dsmx

Is it really that serious, PS3 is still getting FF13 and X360 is still getting the update. Everyone wins... right?

Moopman133

@WatershipDown:

And all the subsequent returns and trade-ins from those 360 buyers that could give a rats ass about the game right now vs. the lot of happy PS3 owners...

Yep, they made the right choice. :) I'm happy.

Indy_aka_Rex

@Dragnipur: It's even funnier when PS3 fanboys piss and moan about FF13 not being exclusive.

GrrSnort

Errr... is a bad thing, I mean. *sigh*.

MrBionic

@Dragnipur: Um, I fail to see how people *not* whining about something they have no control over is a good thing.

MrBionic

heh, not delayed on PS3? Instead, delayed on 360? How unusual, whats that all about?

Hulkamaniac

Meh. Cagney isn't all that great.

I mean, it's okay, but unless you're all about the online experience, it doesn't add much of anything.

Arsenicberyllium

I'll take the one with the planes in it. =D

Ashurahori

it's a good thing I haven't played this game in a while on account my cousin had it for the longest time

tralfaz23

...funny how all the xbots go quiet...!

Dragnipur

I'm sometimes still in awe that Criterion are part of EA - they're too nice with all this free stuff!

This pack I'm not worried about, but if the next packs are delayed for 360, I won't be a happy bunny.

Meldy

Boooo to the Delay.... Horrray for all the cool stuff we will get when it arrives... Huzzah Huzzah!

lucidmantra

When's PC version of burnout Paradise coming?

Diesel_Power

Looks like there was a reason I didn't pick up Paradise yet. Now I can wait and then start playing it *with* the download pack immediately!

Not that I'm not going to wait until I can get it for $20 anyway, long after everyone else has stopped playing it online.

MrBionic

...am I correct in thinking they're going to add planes and motorbikes soon too?

It's some of the most impressive post release updating I've seen, so congrats to Criterion.

Krondonian

Oh Criterion. PS3 lead was the way to go huh? Notice how your game sold more on the 360?

WatershipDown

That feels a little... different. I'd assume it were Karma for 360 users laughing at Playstation 3 misfortunes if I believed in such a thing.

Heliophage

Well that sucks. Cagney update isn't really that big though. Bring on Davis.

toefer

@cheesecake000:
They favour the PS3 I think.

I have the 360 version of this game, and ironically I played and enjoyed it today. I'm awaiting the further support of it, it just makes the experience better.

flukielukie

@Odd_Fact: Oh, btw, the last bit ... It's a joke. I know all about LBP and all that goodness that I secretly envy and hate the PS3 camp for but, as all things PS3 these days, I'll believe the release date when it's on store shelves.

Odd_Fact

To be fair though, this isn't a surprise. Before the game launched, the official website mentioned it's custom build for the PS3. The developers are obviously from the PS3 kool-aid camp and to keep costs down while maximizing profit, they built the game on it first, then ported to 360. That would also explain the delay. They've probably only got one team working on both patches. One at a time.

But hey, good news, at least this is one exclusive the PS3 has that's absolutely certain to launch before 2009 ... because it already has! ;)

Odd_Fact

I played the crap out of this on 360(Elite license), then picked up for PS3 since it was dirt cheap. Cagney is a cool update, especially the calendar and start page.

aka Bitter

Fun game, Criterion did a great job with the support they are giving it, and Cagney is a pretty good update i must say...hope those who have it for xbox get the update soon.

KennyLanzJr

There's quite a bit of talk on the Criterion forums about some pretty serious glitches in Cagney on the PS3. Like if you're browsing the Easydrive menu and the host starts a race the game freezes. It's probably one of the reasons why it was rejected by MS cert. For that I'm glad it got delayed on the 360. Criterion doesn't favor one console over the other.

cheesecake000

I honestly don't give a damn about Cagney, give me Davis!

BlackMage66652

Can they just add in a feature to restart a challenge?

Len Bias Cocaine Surplus

@VixDiesel: I sadly feel your pain as mine rrod'd yesterday... well at least its in a better place now.

I guess I'll hold off on this game

Moopman133

@toefer: Agreed. I remember downloading the update bright and early in the morning, starting it up and saying... "meh".

If you've already finished the game, custom soundtracks but no new roads doesn't do much for you.

@lucidmantra: Don't hold your breath... it didn't add much to write home about. I think it's more a framework update so you'll eventually have things to write home about.

....

And to some of the other guys here... Cagney isn't something to lord over anyone. Being a troll is bad enough without trying to be all pompous about an update that changes some menus and gives custom soundtracks to the system that didn't have them.

It's like teasing someone because your bag of M&Ms had 101 pieces and his only had 100...

dv8godd

I almost feel bad for the 360 owners, almost.

I say as I ship my 360 back in it's cardboard coffin after it rrod'ed the other day.

VixDiesel

That sucks; makes me glad I got this game for PS3.

@Liegh: Whatever happened to your Aberrant Gamer column?

Altersparck

For once the 360 gets the development shaft. Well, I guess the odds have been on Xbox's side for too long. Can't wait for the update. Online Marked Man is going to be great.

Quicksilver4648

Actually guys, Burnout Paradise sold very similar to both Xbox 360 and PS3, weird considering the 360 has a bigger console base.

PS3: 690k
360: 760k

Realistically I don't think Criteon is probably amazed as I am that it managed to sell so similarly on both platforms.

Day Man

Does anyelse get a feeling of Duke Nukem nostalgia at this announcement?

"It'll be ready when it's ready!"

Entrail

I can't understand why people keep complaining that Xbox is getting the short end of the stick with this. Obviously there is something really wrong that they aren't releasing the update yet. They released it to the PS3 and from what I understand, it was pretty buggy. I have no issue with waiting to make sure that when it is released, there are no problems. Either they delay it to fix problems or they release it with problems, people are still gonna cry like spoiled children.

Cyco

@Quicksilver4648: You will love Online Marked Man.

Amazon_Chris

I want an update that brings back the old crash "events". Right now the game is just Test Drive Unlimited 2.

DangrMaus

@Quicksilver4648: I agree with you on the 360 getting the shaft on this one. It's understandable though because Mr. Alex Ward never has hesistated on expressing his preference to Playstation consoles. I know everyone has a preference regardless of whether or not they choose to disclose it, but at least I know where his priorties lay for his team when it comes to development...

jynxce

It's sad really. From Day 1, Criterion established itself as a Playstation centric developer but it's becoming sad as it seems that they are faining the same issues the rest of the developers have had with the PS3 platform. It's either total neglect or they are being fanboys in the worst possible roll to be one in which would be as a developer. Not sure what this hold-up is about.

okenny :)

now the xbox 360 owners have to wait for something, finally :D

Crippen

Here's to hoping you guys get it soon. I'm picking this game up tomorrow.

Murmaider

It's cool that some developers are taking PS3 seriously, and giving perks to those who've undergone so much hardship.

In a good year or so pretty all developers will be like Criterion, me thinks.

Kukuk

@theblade: Seriously? You are on a website that delivers video game news and you DIDN'T know about the throngs of pissed off PS3 loyalists sending hate mail to Square-Enix? Someone needs to have their beer goggles adjusted.

GrrSnort

So does PSN have a strict certification process like XBL does?

DARTH_TIGRIS

I'm a recent PS3 owner (with secret Xbox 360 fanboy ambitions)... I also own a Wii...

Okay, let's get this out of the way. I'm shocked.

Even John Carmack has come out and said it's easier to get good results out of the Xbox 360 than from the PS3.

Not to mention UE3 licensees...

I just sold my PS3 copy of Burnout Paradise (I was hoping for something more like Excite Truck, but prettier), promising kick-ass updates to the buyer...

I'm really glad that Critereon at least fulfilled my promisses... and shocked that Critereon is one of the first companies to "figure out" the PS3.

I also am unimpressed with Killzone 2... but if Criterion were in charge, maybe it would already be out, and I'd already be selling it on Ebay...

If only... right?! I can't sell oil, so I may as well sell videogames.

BtownDesignGuy

@BtownDesignGuy: what?

slackjawed

i got this game yesterday! In preparation for the updates, and now it's delayed? I thoguht delays don't exist on the 360? Usually this is a PS3 thing!

CrazyBlue

Yes, this delay sucks. But I was a PS3 owner for over a year before I got my hands on a 360, so I know a little something about delayed updates... COD4 anyone?
