Burnout Paradise Goes Back to the Future with DLC

10
Okay, so it's not exactly the same as Marty McFly's time-traveling DeLorean, but the Jansen 88 Special that's coming to Burnout Paradise next year is pretty close, right down to those burning flame trails and, yes, a hover mode.

It's one of the four Legendary Cars that, as developer Criterion revealed today on its site, are coming to the open-world racer at some point in 2009. The other three? The Cavalry Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and the GT Nighthawk.

The cars will be among the game's premium downloadable content, available in both individual and discounted bundle form, though exact pricing was not disclosed. Burnout Paradise is currently available on PS3 and 360, with the PC version due in February.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

    I'm guessing that in hover mode you won't be able to roam the city through the sky instead just be stuck to the roads?

      It's hover mode, not fly mode.
