Quick Look: Road Show: Blur

I refuse to believe Bizarre Creations doesn't partake in massive amounts of acid. All this neon doesn't make sense otherwise. IT JUST DOESN'T.

" I didn't think Blur was big enough to warrant sending Vinny and Ryan to Europe. "

How many takes did you guys do to get the "blur beta" part down?

Looks neat, but why does the BC dude talk in Questions? Every sentence ends in a pitch lift.
Sounds like he's not confident about his subject and really grates. Sorry Man, just had to get that off my chest.

Wait, is "shunt" a dirty word in the US?

For some reason, this games reminds me of the first NFS UG. I really liked that game.

Wasn't sure after the initial trailers, but this has pretty much sold me. Looks great.

"Beetah?"
Urgh.

Looks pretty great!

Looks pretty awesome.  
 
I hope Blur's gonna be successful. 
 
Might increase chances for a proper current generation Rollcage interation.

" Looks good. Really enjoyed Geometry Wars I & II so I'd like to see these guys be successful.  Having a hard time supporting them due to their publisher though. "

It's like mario kart, but for real people.

Maybe Activision paid for it. "

Aww they called me "lovely". Obviously Ryan and Vinnie haven't got to know me well enough yet! Hah!

We need to get a Bombing Run going for the beta.  20 car multiplayer sounds insane.

I can't believe that Vinny didn't pull a Kanye when the guy said, "shunt".

I'm not sure how I feel about this game.  One hand, I really like the PGR elements.  The actual racing looks really solid, and the strong social aspect really looks good.  I like the idea of being with a large group of people and competing in a single race for multiple goals.
 
However I think the power ups seem really out of place, I think I'd have prefered more of a straight up racer, mixed with things like cone challenges and gate runs mid race.
 
But I'm in the beta, so we'll see.

Time well wasted in Liverpool.

Fuck, keys already gone. :(

Whenever I see that Blur logo, I think of the band.
 
Kind of surprising they haven't been sued.

I feel like the styles of weapons pickups and actual cars are too jarring.  This should've been like a futuristic racer with like hovercraft or something.  I dunno.  I don't get it.  Looks all realistic but with craziness all over.

Hmmm looks interesting to say the least. Kinda like a Mario Kart for frat boys...
 
EDIT: WHY does he keep calling it a "beeta"?

Seems like an arcade-like MW2 with cars and fancy graphics effects. AWESOME.

Definitely my style of racer - not realistic in almost any way. It may be the only game in the genre I buy in 2010 and the first I bother to try playing online for longer than a race or two.

I'm not really a racer fan (the only racing game I've ever bought was NFS:Most Wanted when I bought a 360 at launch) but this looks like a lot of fun.

You guys are fucking retarded. "

In the BEATAH

I might end up buyimg more racing games this year. This game looks great, Split/Second looks interesting, and I still haven't picked up Need For Speed Shift, Pure, or Forza 3.

I am glad they went with more of a arcade racer this time simulation racers just bore me.

Oh wow officially licensed cars.

usually racer sims bor me, this looks really fun though and seems to have allot of depth to it. i was always a crash team racing fan and liked that kind of racing game. chaos on the track is awesome  

This looks unbelievable.

The visual design for this game is incredible.

this looks pretty damn awesome. games got style too.

I hate it when people put rising intonations at the end of every sentence?

Just watched this after seeing the Split Second Quick Look Roadshow. Both games look way better than I thought they would. Burnout Paradise might finally have some competition!

I have no idea why Ben is up-speaking all the way through.  He must be the only person in Britain who does this!  It really is very annoying.

I played the beta and enjoyed it but there wasn't anything that brought me back to it.

Too slow, guess it's just me being used to Burnout.
