==Must be something to add to this?== |

I know there isn't really a plot or anything, but for a highly anticipated game, there must surely be something that can be added? It's quite striking how short it is. [[User:Wissam24|Wissam24]] ([[User talk:Wissam24|talk]]) 16:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC) |

Burnout 4 was Revenge, right? After Revenge was Burnout Dominator. This is a project that was worked on solely by EA Games. Criterion had no role, as they were working exclusively on Burnout Paradise. Paradise is the fifth game that criterion published, hence "Burnout 5" [[User:Slyfield|Slyfield]] ([[User talk:Slyfield|talk]]) 06:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC) |

==Boxart/logo...== |
|||
If the game's boxart is known, you can take down the logo and add the boxart instead. I just put the logo there as a placeholder until something more conventional came about. |

No reason to show only the X360 boxart. The boxart is identical to the PS3 boxart (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/12/joystiq-impressions-burnout-paradise/) - a neutral image can be shown to not give preference to either system. |

Its alright. I think my logo image got speedy-deleted anyway. It was openly available to the public, though (I got it off Criterion's website from their press-release about the game) but I'm not upset about it. [[User:SuperSonicTH|SuperSonicTH]] 13:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC) |

==Boost Rules== |
|||
I own the game and i have encountered no such option as this on either console (my friend owns the PS3, i own the 360). Can we have proof that it is in game or can we have it removed?

==Stolen Logo edits== |

In the Features section, there is a sentence that says: "Now, instead of having preset junctions and predetermined traffic patterns, the player may crash in any location in the world, press both shoulder buttons on their controller and activate Showtime mode." The last bit starting from "press both shoulder" doesn't really make any sense when combined with the rest. I don't own the game, so I don't know what it's supposed to be, and as such I don't want to attempt to fix that up.

==Where's the release date?== |
|||
[[Criterion Games]] announced night condition and bikes, and new routes, but where's the release date? Are they announcing the release date or they won't make any update releases at all? Just rumors, maybe? Also, Criterion is missing the Airport, which it is supposed to be in Paradise City. If Criterion is completely avoiding update releases, then I'm afraid that it may be a joke.

|||
==References (Trivia)== |
|||
I've noticed that there are some references to pop culture in the game. For example, when you receive the Nakamura SI-7 in-game, you get a Paradise Award called "Yatta!" This is a reference to Heroes, Nakamura obviously referring to Hiro Nakamura and the phrase "Yatta" ("I did it" in Japanese) referring to event when he teleported to New York City in the first season. |

==Inclusion of OperationBurnout.com in External Links== |
|||
I don't understand why a link to Operation Burnout cannot be included in the article. The site includes a full history of the game news back from when BP was first announced in August 2006. The news gives full official press releases, screenshots and other media from EA Games, Criterion Games and other third party sites. The site also contains guides and maps, full soundtrack listings, codes to unlock additional content, PS3 trophies/ Xbox 360 achievement lists. In addition to this there is a huge community of BP fans, 1170 to count, which makes OperationBurnout the largest Burnout community website out there. If anything, OperationBurnout.com is the most comprehensive source of information regarding the game. There is no reason for it not to be included in the external links section. |
|||
Wikipedia states that "Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article..." can be linked to. Explain to me why the content on operationBurnout.com is not meaningful and relevant to BP. |
|||
The link was removed shortly after I added it by "ChimpanzeeUK" without the site even being checked to see if it meets the criteria which Wikipedia states is relevant to be linked to.

:Hi. [[WP:VG/EL]] is more relevant - "Inappropriate external links...Fan-based sites". It does say "though if determined by consensus to be valuable, they may be included", but there's no consensus yet anyway. Thanks!

:Hi. Like Falcon suggested, what I meant by "per WP:EL '''and concensus'''" is that it is the concensus that in general, fan sites should not be included. I didn't mean to imply that that concensus was against that site in particular being included. As mentioned above, [[WP:VG/EL]] would have been more appropriate. Sorry.

==Cagney addressed issue of no restarts?== |
|||
I don't know about the Xbox 360 version, but I'm almost certain that you could quit events by stopping the car in the PS3 version BEFORE the Cagney update. |
|||
Sorry I don't have the evidence, but the way things are phrased in the article, it is implied that such action was not possible before the Cagney update. |

You can use F1 and F2 (or the left and right bumpers on the X360 controller) to switch between the different pause menus.

The entire article needs work...instaead of explaining the game, it explains what has improved over the previous version, which is of no help to someone who never played the previous version. Also, there are many references to the game being in the future such as "will have this feature"m and "this has been confirmed" and "will be able to"...
