Burnout DLC Barreling Down the Road

Criterion Games love code names, and here are a few you’ll be hearing more of in the coming weeks and months: Cagney, Eastwood, Betty Davis. Aside from sounding like a crazy film cast, they should be every bit as exciting in their own right. Read on to crack the code.
Cagney is penciled in for around late June and includes a slew of new features, such as custom in-game soundtracks, 70 new freeburn challenges, plus a new homepage featuring local time, paradise city weather (including real cities), a calendar, and streaming player. Eastwood is set to expand the already sizeable city by adding a huge skyscraper-filled area.
Betty Davis is looking to be one of the first ‘paid for’ packs and is due for release in August. For the first time in Burnout history, you will be able to ride around Paradise City on motorbikes. Another major addition is the ability to drive around at night, which will feature realistic diminished traffic as the sun sets.
Criterion also gave away one last tasty little tidbit by hinting that planes may eventually find their way into Paradise City. However Criterion was quick to stress that they may or may not actually make it into the game. All the same, it’s an exciting prospect.

(emperor’s voice) excellent….
I love night driving. shame that there will be no weather as well.
personally, I would love to have
some really cool weather like they had in Porsche
extreme. one of the few racing games that I actually enjoyed playing. the idea of going up into the mountains and it starts to snow till your visibility is reduced, driving past snow covered mountains and frozen lodge towns.
come to think of it, Porsche
extreme was a really great game.
when you drove an older 912 the shifter would clunk between shifts, and you can almost smell that old European car smell from the leather and that weird hay-like stuff they put in between the springs and seat fabric. matter of fact, I think I still have that game somewhere
I guess I will see if it still runs or if I have to run it in Linux under Wine.
