WOW! Alex Ward has said there will be more than one Island with different types of Gameplay!!
The DLC is becoming more than I thought it would be! I have started this Paradise Islands Poll with some Island ideas, but what kind of Island would you like to see?
You've got to have a crash junction island for all the dyed in the wool crashers. While we're at it maybe a racing circuit island for the racers, in fact why not just cut to the chase and have a Revenge island. Lets take this thought to its natural conclusion and have an island for each of the different games and once all the Paradise haters are on their own respective islands, we can blow the bridge.
I was thinking something similar - destruction derby island. DD and DD2 were some of my favorite games for the PSX and BP is the closest thing I have to that now (the new DD is a stinker). Just put me in a circular arena with a bunch of other guys trying to take you down (though with less ease) and let her fly!
I still have fond memories of sitting at the top of banked circuits waiting to pounce on that last car before finishing my last lap, passing the wreckage of all the other cars on the way - you can almost here the rythmic chant from the rollerball crowd "Jon-a-thon", "Jon-a-thon", "Jon-a-thon", "Jon-a-thon", "Jon-a-thon"........................no? just me then.
What exactly would be the difference between an off road island and a desert island? I like the crash island idea, though. But for a guy who just has to beat all of Today's Best, I really like the concept of a stunt island.
Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant!
erm... OK a Desert Island is a mound of sand with one palm tree on it, and maybe a beardy dude who has written SOS or HELP! in the sand, he might have a bottle in his hand with a message written in it, or he might be talking to a volley ball.... I wasn't expecting this option to get many votes, but it would be cool to have an island with sand dunes for the Dust Storm Dune Buggy to bounce around on!
An Offroad Island on the other hand would have Dirt tracks, hills, streams, trees, and probably lots of mud flying around...
I think Paradise does lend itself to a destruction derby event... I really liked Destruction Derby, and Crash 'n Burn too... I will have to look into regetting those games I think!
I worry about the offroad ideas - and similarly, the new Dust Storm car - because we already have current gen games which focus on that, i.e. Motostorm and MX vs ATV. The later of which even has a free-roaming world, not unlike burnout paradise, with dunes and dirt tracks, etc. (And MX vs ATV even has a split screen multiplayer mode!) So do we really need more of that?
I use to Play that game for real, with, Metal wheeled Roller Skates, Choppers (to pull us up the slant to get even more speed), a couple of Soft Balls (bigger than a base ball, but can still knock you out) and a slanted Round-a-bout (it was on a hill, around 30 degree slant), and use baseball gloves to catch, and spiked gloves (like cricket gloves) to punch someone in the face or balls, or use the said soft ball, and the goal was at the bottom of the hill (an old, spong-a-dunk contraption, sadly no buzzer). Start the ball on the drain at the top inside, do a loop or two, with various carnage, then try score a goal/point.
Oh, I miss my Child Hood.
Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

What kind of island?
There should be some sort of mix of the quarry style and a ski mountain with long jumps and sick barrel flips.

Maybe a:
a ski slope stunt island, with maybe a possibility to get custom ramps so that you can do front/backflips
that would build a whole new game genre
maybe im just being optimistic though
