Burnout Paradise Demo Gaining 8 Person MP

16
Criterion will tomorrow double the multiplayer capacity of the already-released Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 Burnout Paradise demos, the developer revealed on its official site.

Between January 4 and January 14, gamers will be able to engage in online matches with up to 8 players. The demo had previously been limited to 4 players, though the upcoming full version supports a total of 8 participants in an online match.

The company will also be unlocking 13 additional Freeburn challenges: 4 for an 8-player matches, and 3 for 5-, 6-, and 7-player bouts.

The latest in Criterion's racing-crashing series hits PS3 and Xbox 360 on January 22.

      These days most demos are beta, as in "This demo does not represent the gameplay in the final retail version of the game." disclaimers you see in demos now.

      i'm pretty sure the game was close to done before the demo came out.

      they only did this to keep people interested in the game and continually coming back to the demo prior to release. which is smart in a way, since they demo is incredibly lacking, even with an online component.
