For the first time since May 2008 Criterion Games has released new information, screens and video of Big Surf Island.

The Burnout Team has been watching you! They have taken telemetry from Burnout Paradise. They have seen that we play at the Airfield, Quarry, Dam and the Beach. Now, Big Surf Island will be our new playground. They have seen that we like big jumps, so the Island will have the biggest jumps in the game.

For the first time Criterion Games have shown us the other side of the Island. It has a tropical feel, with palm trees and dirt roads.

We have been in touch with Weil3r that originally wrote some brilliant guides for Burnout 3: Takedown that was published at burnoutelite.com. Since that site is no longer active we asked Weil3r if we could re-publish them here on BurnoutAholics.com.

We got his permission and the guides have now been made available. You can access them directly from the links below:

Playstation Trophies NOT Retroactive

To all you PSN players, the Trophy update has been released today, but sadly Criterion were not able to implement them retroactively.

This is what Criterion Games said on their website today:

"Burnout Paradise saves are locked to your profile. We had hoped to use this to retroactively award trophies, but we discovered during testing that this is not possible. You will therefore require a fresh game-save to receive trophies in Burnout Paradise. If you're familiar with PS3 trophies already, you'll recognise that this works in the same way as all other games that have added trophy support post-release."

And Matt Webster added this in the forums this morning:

Submitted by ZombieTron on Fri, 08/29/2008 - 14:21

Criterion Games have made some exciting announcements over at the Playstation Blog detailing some of the changes that the day/night cycle will have to Paradise City.

We will get to choose how long the day/night cycle lasts. If you want to zoom through a day you can choose 24 minutes, or if you prefer there is the option to do a real time 24 hour day, and anywhere in between.

When you join an online game the clock is synched to the host and you will see the day fast forward before your eyes.
