I'm not much into the whole racing games thing, but this game looks sick.

I know all the techy guys will totally lose respect for me with this post, but those devs all have three computer screens.  That's pretty awesome.

Thirded.
 
That's a great insight into one of the top UK devs. And none of them spoke with a Liverpudlian accent despite being in Liverpool. Wins all around!

That was a really cool fact about the Elise.  I personally can't wait until this game comes out and either thinking of picking it up for PC or Playstation 3.

That's a great way to get sounds. Beware the door!

Being a sound guy always seems to be a fun job.  Game is looking pretty sweet but if its 360 only then I'll probably not get to play it for a while >_>

Wow, that's awesome dude. Way to take a stand and spite a developer that's making a great game you otherwise would enjoy. Then, next year, when new COD sequels are announced and Blur is discontinued, you can get on another soapbox and bemoan how Activision produces nothing but sequels. That'll show them. "
Haha, if I don't buy Activison games why would I care what they're making? "
dude activision is a business, don't spite them because there doing there business well. Most activision games are good and if there not don't buy them, they'll get the hint that people don't want them, hence guitar hero. The fact that they fired the two guys behind the biggest selling game doesn't mean they are evil it means those guys are stupid, they broke the first rule of life, don't bight the hand that feeds you. they should have just shut up and make there game, if they didn't want to make the game that activision wanted, that's fine quit, don't piss off your boss and think that you have the uper hand its your boss Why would activision fund something that they didn't want to do? Video games are a business, and well always be a business, do you think EA cares? They treat their company the same way. "
I think you make many good points GoodKn1ght, but after the recent stuff going on at Infinity Ward I came across some quotes that Activision head Bobby Kotick had made a while ago and they do genuinely worry me and make me view Activision in a particular way.  He'd apparently said that: "skepticism, pessimism, and fear" is promoted within the company with the goal of "keeping people focused on the deep depression." And Kotick has also said "The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games."
 
Bizarre seem to be doing great atm.  I just hope that continues in the future and also with other studios.  I feel the kind of business philosophy that Kotick seems to employ will ultimately lead to a reduction in the creativity and quality of the games coming out developers if left unmetered and given full reign for a length of time.  You can best harness your employees' potential if they are not overworked and demotivated.

You obviously care enough to stage some childish boycott and go through the trouble of putting your hero pants on and telling people about it.  "
Yes, because posting one snarky line makes me the leader of some activision boycott.  It's actually rather simple though: If I don't like where my money is going, I'm not going to spend my money there.  It's the same reason I avoid buying anything involved with scientology.  I'm not about to topple any empires doing this, I just don't like to support shitty companies and organizations.

That Jr Designer is hilarious looking. This game actually looks pretty good. Might have to give it a rent when it comes out.

I don't usually like racing games but this looks really fun and I love the art style and particle effects on the power ups and just the look of the game in general. Looks like a lot of good time, love and effort has been put into this. :D 
Looking forward to it. :)
