Burnout Paradise save analyzer coming soon

Ever wondered just how much of Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360) you’ve yet to explore? Then if you’ve got the PS3 version, you’ll be able to find out soon enough, through the use of the Burnout Paradise Save Analyser. Check out what this particular feature of the Bogart update is all about, and how you’ll be able to take advantage of it when it activates in the full article.

Sony PlayStation 3 owners, rejoice – it seems that Criterion Games, the makers of Burnout Paradise (Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360), is dead set on showing you the love you deserve. This is through a secret feature they released along with the Bogart update, and while it may not really affect your gameplay, it’s quite the awesome helping hand as far as getting 100% completion in the game is concerned. It’s not active yet, but it will be soon.

So, what’s the secret feature? The Burnout Paradise Save Game Analyser, a feature that lets you get your own save file analyzed by the game’s official website so that you’ll know just where you are in the game, and just how much more content you still have to experience or take advantage of. This includes jumps, smashes, billboards, junkyards, body shops, paint shops, gas stations, and car parks.

Of course, the first step to using it is to import your save file first into either a USB drive or Memory Stick, so you can hook it up to your own Interwebs-ready PC and then have it analyzed. Oh, and you must have the Bogart update to do that, just in case you still haven’t downloaded it yet.

While it does ruin the fun of discovering all the places yourself, It’s definitely good that developers are experimenting with different goodies to make gameplay a bit more interesting and accessible. Here’s hoping that this is just the beginning. Updates as we get them!
