3 New Freeburn Game Modes: Road Rage Stunt Run (vs) Marked Man 70 New Freeburn Challenges 70 new timed multi-part Freeburn 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 Two fan-created liveries – the Oval Steel Racer and Inferno Hippie Van Two secret Criterion liveries! Ranked Race Changes Too much to report in this blog entry but click here for the full breakdown! 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 a 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 - PS3 only 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 1 Comment 01 1516 Written by
