Bizarre Creations' Blur Still Coming Out In 2009

" I have this Blur vs Split/Second confusion going on ala Prototype vs Infamous. I forget which is which. "

They could have used some licensing on it.
"Star Wars: Hot Wheels: Racing Battle"
 
I threw the double colon in there to be safe.

Having been on a PGR kick recently, I'm actually pretty excited about this game.  It's probably about 6th or 7th on my list of "Games that I might buy this fall."

Good news at least.

Looks a bit like that ps2 game Mashed, but without the Micro-Machines camera angle

I'm realy not getting the negative comments on this one. Yes its not a realistic racer, not every car game has to be. I'm pretty exited about this one it looks really fun and so far Bizarre Creations have shown themselves to be a good developer when it comes to having fun with cars. It could turn out to be a terrible game but for now I'm going to say it looks really fun.

Just to counteract some of the negativity in these comments, I think it looks cool and it going to be a lot of fun. Not every racer has to worship at the altar of realism and minute technicality. If its just Wipeout with real cars and physics enabled powerups, it'll be worth checking out. There's space enough in the market for everyone to get their motor-related kicks.

What is it with British developers and arcade racers?
 
For that matter, what's with American developers and FPSes?
 
Or Russian developers and extremely strange and buggy PC games?

" This is bad news...Forza 3 and GT5 are due out in 2009.  If anything, this game should've gotten pushed back to even have a remote chance of doing well. "

this looks ok. i'm much more excited for split/second though.

This is bad news...Forza 3 and GT5 are due out in 2009.  If anything, this game should've gotten pushed back to even have a remote chance of doing well.

Their is a part about 4/5 of the way through that trailer where this red sports car gets hit with an electric thing and spins out, spending him from first place to seemingly last. That is the part which destroyed any interest in this game I might have had because I knew that if I was that red car I would be raging right about then.
 
Perhaps it will be good, in fact I hope it will be, but weapons in racers adds a random luck element which just doesn't gel right with me.

That song fit surprisingly well, good choice on their part.  Seems like the game could be fun, too.

I wish this was PGR5 instead.

" @Hector said:

" Burnout meets Mario Kart? "

No, more like Burnout meets WipEout. "

That game has no style.
 
 
I have no interest in Blur

" Burnout meets Mario Kart? "

Well it looks fun, that's for sure

Even if they were to make a 5th PGR that series went downhill for me after 2.

I would have rather Bizarre Creations make PGR 5. Im not a fan of car combat games so this doesn't really appeal to me. I hope that they move on from this game and make PGR 5 rather than Blur 2

Any game that tries to sell you by naming/demonstrating available power-ups has some serious soul searching to do.

reminds me of RUSH on N64.

After you see split second, what does this game really have going for it?
Unless you can barrel roll like that really old ps2 game I cant remember the name of that looked and played about the same, I'm out.
 
Oh wait, rumble racing. ahhh. good times.

This game looks neat. I like Bizarre Creations and all of their racers so far have been a hit. I don't know if the "Mario Kart" vibe is going to work properly but I'll give it a shot.

I have this Blur vs Split/Second confusion going on ala Prototype vs Infamous. I forget which is which.

I mistakenly chose Geography at GCSE, and the dude I used to sit next to sang that song to me nearly every lesson without fail, always made me giggle.
 
And also it looks like it's just taken Midnight club further.

"Burnout meets Mario Kart? "

Burnout meets Mario Kart?

blur is not blurry

With even the mighty Activision jumping on the bandwagon of 2009's hottest trend, Releasing Your 2009 Games In 2010, some people were wondering what might be going on with Bizarre Creations' new racer Blur. I've seen some message board chatter about the fate of the game's release date, what with higher profile games like StarCraft II sliding into next year.

There hasn't been a lot of buzz or info floating around about Blur for the last few weeks, since its appearance at E3, but Shacknews did notice in a company conference call that the game is in fact still slated for a November release date. While we're talking about Blur, retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, and GameCrazy are now taking part in 2009's crappiest trend, Exclusive Bonus Game Content When You Pay Us For The Game Early. Hit up the Shack story for that list.
 
And if you've forgotten what Blur looks like, here's a reminder!
