Criterion’s creative director Alex Ward has been dropping lots of Burnout Paradise goodies this month, and if you clever newshounds have already heard that the sprawling Paradise is getting even larger thanks to a brand new series of islands, and that this archipelago will be totally free, then try this on for size: those islands are just the beginning of what EA’s British crash masters have in store, so long as gamers are forthcoming with their wallets.
Ward spoke to videogaming247:
“I stated yesterday that access to the new downloadable islands in Burnout Paradise would be free,� Ward told videogaming247. “That’s not to say ALL of the downloadable content we are working on will be free. We will charge (price TBC) for some stuff. What’s important to know is that we see DLC in a totally different way. So far, with many games, DLC has been secondary ‘extras’ type stuff, a different costume in an RPG, a different car in a racing game, and so on. We see DLC as significant additional content which expands the game experience. We see it as continuing to develop the game which we worked on. Taking it further almost to the point of making a new game.
“New game modes are very important to us, but it’s about more than that. Expect more details soon, I’d love to say more but we’re still working on this stuff.�
If an entire chain of islands can be ours free of charge, imagine what we might get if we drop some coin.
