In 53 days we will see the next update codename: Cagney
Here is a summary of everything this very cool and very FREE!! update will include which I shamelessly copy/pasted from the excellent criterion website.
Here's a summary of everything we're putting into the massive Cagney update due for release at the end of June.
New Freeburn Game Modes
• Road Rage
• Stunt Run (vs and team modes)
• Marked Man
Challenges
• 70 new timed multi-part challenges
• Leaderboards for these challenges that log your best time (as well as those people who did it with you)
Vehicles
• Hunter Olympus
• A secret Criterion Car!
New liveries
• Rossolini Tempesta Dream
• Crazysztof's Oval Steel Racer and Inferno Hippie Van
• A secret Criterion livery!
Ranked Race Changes
• Too much to report in this blog entry but click here for the full breakdown!
Custom Soundtracks
• Custom Soundtrack support on PS3
Other high-priority fixes and updates
• If you're in a 3 or more player challenge and a player drops out, the remaining players can still complete it (subject to it being a challenge that can handle this!)
• ‘Previously’ section on the search games list now displays Challenges, Today's Best and Freeburn game modes, making it loads easier to decide which game you want to join
• You can now view Leaderboards and Options in an online game
• You can now mute other online players in the show players screen
• You can now mute yourself if you have a PS3 Eye/Eye toy
• We've increased time-out for online races, and if all players complete the races within the timer, then you go straight to results
• The Airfield has been changed to help with the drivability of the area and make it a little easier to complete the hoop challenges
• Online cars now show damage - roll up to the start in a half-destroyed Hunter Cavalry and everyone else will see it!
• Added an stronger display message if you rule all of Todays Best
• The Easy Drive menu & Challenges page now loops from top to bottom
• Fixed the navigation system so that it takes into account the next check point in a race
• Fixed traffic not reappearing in Freeburn after a no-traffic race
• Fixed online races using Lawrence Road – it's been reporting finish distances with a little inaccuracy
• Revised 30+ car resets following crashes
• All new sound effects added for Easy Drive
• Driving backwards in Road Rage now ends the event as it does in Marked Man
• Option to invert camera axis for the look around camera on right stick
• Online player information made accurate on the instance a player goes through a checkpoint in races
• If you set VOIP mix to zero it is now saved correctly
• 1080i support for ‘almost HD’ sets
• Improved the Standard Definition rendering on PS3
• New highlight to show the player in Today's Best
• Easy Drive fades out if it's unused for 20 seconds
• Boost chaining no longer possible by drifting in open areas
