A more significant update would be crash junctions, but that’s never going to happen. Alas.

scuz: nope, the bikes are brand new… you’re also forgetting the range of new challenges added to the game. It’s not just a new vehicle added to the basic gameplay; a new game mode has been added to accommodate them.

This is a very significant update.

Are these updates going to be included in the PC version?

These updates need to undergo the whole MS certification thing, that doesn’t happen for free. It shows that they budgeted for these updates.

This has a positive impact for the publisher as people are more likely to keep hold of their copy and keeping it’s pre-owned market value high making sales of new copies higher.

i don’t know why people are kicking up such a fuss about the fact this is free.

they had probably already started making the bikes but weren’t quite polished enough to be put in the final game.

secondly, valve have pioneered the free micro-expansion market ( i say market because they claim their sales shoot up everytime they release a new addition to the game )

a couple of other games have released little tit bits for their console games too.

maybe just not as much a new vehicle.

Tiger – Yeah, pretty much doing the stick all the way to steer.

Whizzo – Ja, so I’ve just been told by Criterion

“There was no boost on the bike we were using at all.”

Bikes don’t have boost, it’s a trade off for using them as they’re quite nippy already.

Just done one of the long bike challenges, get round the whole map in under 8 minutes.

Did it with lots of time to spare…the bikes are…fast!

/must do some work

Their engine must be amazing.

To be able to add bikes (and eventually planes) post release is unheard of. This has got to be the most epic DLC ever.

Pat “Ghostrider” Garrat, or is that Ghost-writer, I dunno.

Not a lot of traffic, PS3 ah, just saw 360 in the text. Also heard you flicking the stick straight to the limit, using the car model for steering physics and animating the bike to fit?

It’s fucking wicked! Desperately trying not to play it and do some writing.

I still can’t quite believe they’re giving this away for free!
