According to report over on Kotaku, Criterion Games is bringing planes to Burnout Paradise. Planes vs. cars in a race? Sounds interesting.

Sounds like a crazy one sided affair if you ask me..

Didn't top gear do that. The plane won...

I'm kind of shocked that nobody in the comments on that site seems to have mentioned this but couldn't the planes be limited to races/dog fights with other planes?

Now thats talking sense and when has this site ever being like that. I think this site is more Top Gear like so racing planes is a defo possibility.

From one of the comments on the blog:

Whoa, whoa, whoa, everybody.

There has been *no* announcement about planes coming to Paradise. Not a single one. I'm one of Criterion's elite fans and I'm in daily contact with members of the team, including those responsible for the announcements.

The only thing that has happened with regards to planes is that the team has a prototype of a plane that was done by a member of the team for his own personal pleasure. Aside from some footage of it in one of the video podcasts and allowing some of the visiting fans to try it out, nothing further was announced about it.

The podcast also repeatedly stressed that it was a prototype and had a VERY good chance of not making it into the game.

Someone at Kotaku must have been itching to post and dug up this old nugget. Nothing to get excited about.

I'd say the fact that they mention planes on their homepage is not helping matters.

We're already working on bikes and night-time, a brand new island off the coast of Paradise city, and more besides (we're even experimenting with planes!)
