Chubb vs. Angus

It began innocently enough with this post about IainA's day on the Burnout Team.

Then folks on the forums began to wonder how they might get their hands on Iain's Burnout mouse mat...

Never ones to pass up the opportunity to run a competition, while still giving Iain the chance to hold onto his beloved mouse mat, we present: Chubb vs. Angus.

At the end of next week, one of these guys is going to lose their Burnout mouse mat to the forum poster who posts their fastest combined Road Rule times on Chubb Lane and Angus Wharf.

Here's how it works:

Set Road Rule times for both Chubb Lane and Angus Wharf and post evidence on the forums.
(This will be your Road Rule times for Chubb Lane and Angus Wharf and your Gamertag/PSN id, if you can manage photo evidence too, that would be great)

At midday UK time next Wednesday (21 May 200

we'll check the forums for the winning time, post the winner's name, and then...

Jez and Iain will compete head-to-head to see who can set the best combined Road Rule times on Chubb and Angus.

Whoever loses, will have to give up their mouse mat to the winner...

New Burnout Island Location Revealed

Here's a great video from the world team. These guys worked on the incredible game world that you'll recognise now as Paradise City.

Since we're releasing images of our new island location, we thought it would be great to give a little insight into how the Paradise City mainland came together.

Here, one of our leads, JohnL, concentrates on a single, small area - the Fish Market in the South Docks (just off Manners Ave). You'll get to see how each of it's distinct components evolved through development.

(copying and pasting the vid didnt work)

We'll show more video on our upcoming new island location soon and start to reveal some of the special new gameplay we're working on just for that area.

In the meantime, here's how it's coming on!

The island is scheduled for release as part of our Eastword software update.

Big thanks to John and the team for talking us through there. Look out for more soon.

a chance 2 be famous....................

Get your name in lights on the new island!

Here's an under-construction hotel in our new Paradise City island location. If you're wondering what the significance of this building is, it's one of the last remaining unnamed buildings in the area.

We’re giving one lucky player the chance name this hotel!

If you win our "Downtown Showtime Showdown", we'll work with you to come up with name it can either be your name, your PSN ID or Gamertag or a name of your choice, as long as it's suitable to bring to the game.

We figured this was a great chance to highlight an often forgotten, but always great part of Burnout Paradise – Showtime! If you haven't experienced this yet, hit both triggers to start it off in Freeburn then crash, crunch and slam your way through as much traffic as you can to earn massive damage scores.

The winner of the competition will be the player that can generate the largest accumulated Showtime score across four streets around the 4th Street Bridge. That's Angus Wharf, Harbour Street, King Avenue and 4th Street itself.

We'll post progress on this through the week and announce a winner in next Friday's Crash TV podcast.
