Here's The New Game From The Pure People

BlackRock Studio's next game doesn't have a title yet, but it does have a new trailer. Isn't that sort of a cart-before-horse scenario?

By Brad Shoemaker  |  Feb. 17, 2009

A mysterious new video from the people behind last year's ATV racer Pure, BlackRock Studio, was leaked to us this morning. And by "leaked," I really mean "provided by the PR firm repping the game." Here it is.


  


What we don't know: The name of the game, or what it's about, other than "cars."

What we do know: Pure was fairly awesome, and crashes are also awesome (see also: Burnout), so I think it's worth getting tentatively excited about this.

As indicated in the trailer, we'll know more about this thing on March 11. In the meantime, what's your take?

Looks pretty cool.  :-)

Cars and explosions. Whatever this is, it seems to be headed in the right direction.

I couldn't see much in the video, but the Pure demo is great so this could be something to look out for

Pure 2: Distilled

did pure really sell all that much before? i remember the demo being really fun and the style of gameplay being a lot like ssx but i never really heard much hype

I liked the Pure demo and I'm definitely gonna check that game out on the cheap at some point, so this ought to be worth keeping an eye on.

The trailer didn't really provide a lot of information about the game, to say the least... There were cars, and some explosion? Great?

Anyways, as far as racing games is concerned, I've just dug out burnout and gotten into that again.

How did Pure do sales wise? I played it from gamefly but I wasn't interested enough in ATV racing to buy it.

Pure is pretty dope, hopefully they fix some of the weird kinks in "The New Game"
Maxszyon Feb. 17, 2009 at 4:29 p.m.
Fast cars, some explosions and some things falling down. Seems like a reasonable track.

Two things I love, cars and explosions.

Black Rock Studio (formerly Climax Racing) are the makers of Hot Wheels, so I'm guessing this is a 3rd installment.

Burnout with large scale environmental effects and damage sounds like a rather awesome game- and this new title.
ShaggyChuon Feb. 17, 2009 at 4:46 p.m.
Burnout + fiery explosions
Death_Burnouton Feb. 17, 2009 at 4:48 p.m.
I loved Pure, regardless of it's slight lack of content.

I guess i'm interested?

Yeah I am getting a very strong Burnout vibe from this.  Normally that'd sound kind of bad, but that isn't how I mean it at all.  First of all Burnout is really unique...too unique there just aren't enough good arcade racers like that.  Second the guys who made pure are probably in the top five studios I'd like to see work on something like this.  I guess we can all agree to chalk this one up under awesome.
