The problem with Blur is that it was announced so close to Split Second (at least, I feel like it was) that it's hard for me to notice it when Split Second looks so goddamn cool. The one thing I'm interested in is that the game features actual cars and not fictional ones.
Split Second is made by the clowns that made the most overappreciated racer of this generation
Nope. Criterion made Burnout Paradise. They made pure. An awesome game.spoiler (click to show/hide)sick burn[close]
Paradise AND Pure both suck, hopefully Blur or Split Second is the real sequel to Burnout 3

Whatno
But yeah, PGR4 is the best arcade racer this gen. Would have rather had PGR5 than Blur. Stupid MS letting them go :(

I don't get what Bizarre's relationship with MS was. Sega published The Club (another awesome game they made. They should do an XBLA sequel) between PGR3 and PGR4.
Official Activision blogger Dan Amrich has confirmed that Blur's multiplayer beta will start next week, on Monday 8th March.
"Several websites will be launching contests and giving away beta tokens starting on Tuesday, 2nd March," he said. "The gameplay sessions that those tokens unlock do not begin until Monday, 8th March."
News broke (along with some erroneous reports that the testing would being today) when subscribers to the Fileplanet website were invited to "exclusive access into a highly classified Xbox 360 beta event". Respondents said the game was Blur, according to Kotaku.
Activision exec Mike Griffith announced a March beta for the Bizarre Creations racer earlier last month. So far, Xbox 360 is the only format that's been mentioned in connection with the test.
Blur is due in the second quarter of this year, some time between the start of April and the end of June. We took a trip up to Bizarre's Liverpool office to see it recently, so watch out for a report soon.
I locked 3-4 keys. I will share out. They wont send them until March 8 the email saysCan I get one if you don't have 3-4 ppl already?
Here you go:

Probably all gone by now.

Demi, or swaggaz, can I get one? If not, then I guess we can use the sharing account.
leveling up and things like that reminds me of Modern Warfare. You have perks, mini-objectives in the race and things like that.
I don't know if I'll buy this since I don't know how long it will hold its appeal, but it is pretty fun.
The more I play Blur, the more I want to play Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing instead.

I sort of felt the exact opposite and I was even going to mention Sega Racing as a counterpoint. Using the powers-up for me felt fun here in demo form and where as the Sega Racing demo was something that I thought was okay but didn't really have the same fun factor to me.
That may be the case.
It just turned out a lot better than I was expecting (Blur I mean) so that may have something to do with why I really sort of have positive feelings toward it. I honestly thought it was gonna kinda be shit.

Rank cap for Blur Beta increased with new mode and carsMarch 24th, 2010 @ 17:40
Activision and Bizarre Creations announced today that the multiplayer rank cap for the Blur Beta has been increased from 10 to 15, and the experience has been expanded with the addition of new content.
With the increase, players will now have the ability to unlock new cars, additional mods and a new challenge pack:
Cars: Corvette ZR1 (Class B), Koenigsegg CCX-R (Class A)
Additional Mod: Iron Fist (Increases damage of a Power-up hit), Last Gasp (Player fires a Barge when Wrecked)
Additional Challenge: Demolition Challenge Pack (16 new challenges)
This game seemed to lose it's luster fast. There are less than 1,000 people between both modes playing the last few times I was on and haven't had all player slots full in quite a few races.

They probably should have done just a normal demo to open it up to larger audience rather than an invitation only "beta".

I hope the weapons work well like in MarioKart instead of something like Midnight Club.
A quick note about two suggested changes from the community: wall riding and power-up shuffling. We have made changes to the full version of Blur based on your feedback. You won't see these changes in the beta as we're concentrating on testing networking and connectivity first and foremost. That said, your feedback and suggestions are helping to shape the game so please keep it coming!
Bizzare Creations has revealed that due to demand for entry into the Closed Beta for Blur, next week the developer will open it up to all XBL users.
It was also revealed that the reason PS3 didn’t also get a Beta, had more to do with developmental need and the amount of users on Live.
Speaking with Kotaku in its latest podcast, lead designer Gareth Wilson said that due to the overwhelming demand, it ran out of Beta keys much faster than anticipated.
“We basically ran out of code, so next week we are going to go live with the whole thing publicly so anyone can download it,” Wilson said. “We’ve been sneaking on to see what people think of it and people are really getting into it.
“Why didn’t it come to the PS3? Really because when we were doing the Beta it’s hard enough to try and get a Beta out that doesn’t crash every five minutes while trying to finish a full game.
“Trying to do that on multiple platforms at once, so trying to do a PS3, Xbox and PC beta release at the same time, it just isn’t possible.”
“It was enough of a distraction doing it for one platform. For our selfish needs, we only needed it on one platform because all we wanted to do was gather data about how people are using the cars, the power ups, the tracks, and to be honest we can get that data from one platform.
“We just chose Xbox really because it’s the platform that, to be straight, has more online users than the PS3.”
Wilson revealed that the Beta will open to all XBL users by April 6.
Blur’s out for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on May 25 in the US and May 28 in the UK.
Demo up for everyone.Got it in my DL queue.

Yes, we need someone to identify themselves as a shitty game. Split Second confirmed superior :bow:yuck
Dont bother. FatalT sent me a message after playing it "game is amazing" - and he's played bothSays the taco who used the IGN review to back up his claim. :rofl
I've already scientifically proven that Blur is for turds and queers

FatalT which game are you talking about is shit.
I re-rented this for 360. If anyone wants to play let me know! GT: FatalTI sent you a friend request. I'll be playing this quite a bit.
Yeah I got your friend request Stoney. The reason people are playing in Driving School at levels above 10 is because after you hit level 11 while you're doing that playlist, you don't get kicked out. So basically if you just play non-stop in that playlist and never quit after you level above 10, you can stay in there.
Stolen from Penny Arcade.It sounds like Tycho likes the game, judging from his comments. I'd rather take his word than from the guys who put the IGN in ignorant.

People still playing this online? I got a $20 off email coupon from the Blur website the other day, and I have $10 in Best Buy Bux, so at a discounted $30 this is right in my price range. Might pick it up this weekend.If you get the PS3 version, tell me and we'll swap some friend challenges for that trophy.
Yeah, people are playing online. Absolutely love this game!
Just don't make the mistake of buying the piece of shit PC port.
I see Beezy on playing it all the time. RDR and Split Second have sidetracked me a bit at the moment but eventually I will get back to it.I'm the highest level on my friendlist now. Bz has a higher driver score than me though. For now...

If my new fucking 360 HDD wasn't borked I would be playing it online right now Beezy and I'd smoke your ass! :lol we should get a game or two going on.
Next week people you should get this game. Its going to be $39.99 at both Kmart and Bestbuy. But that's not all, there is a $20 Manufactures coupon that's good during these sales too! So for the low price of $20 bucks plus some tax you can get in on the fun folks.

We should try to party up and play at some point. I know Beezy plays a shitload.I gotta unlock all the cars and hit rank 50. I think I'm rank 41 now. Those daily challenges give you a lot of experience. I don't think I'm gonna try to get all the lights in the single player game though. Those fan runs are annoying. I don't plan on playing it over on hard either.
this game shits all over split secondI haven't played Split Second yet, but I'm pretty sure that's true.
Are you still playing Split Second? No? I thought so.
proof for my last post :lolAre you still playing Split Second? No? I thought so.
I got all achivements and sent it back.
I'm hoping to get this for $10 today at BB. :hyperThey would only let me use the $10 rewards coupon. :(
Go back in there and get them to do it by making up something about another person getting it. They don't have any damn policy's listed about not taking manufactures coupons. Tell them that you saw someone else get the game and they used the coupons but had to press F7 to manually enter the coupon. Once you've done this and they take care of you go over to the Customer Service area and tell them the employee didn't know how to enter in the rewards coupon. They'll just give you the money back in most cases.I'm hoping to get this for $10 today at BB. :hyperThey would only let me use the $10 rewards coupon. :(
I think I'll go back tomorrow and get it. $30 is still a decent deal and I want to play whichoo guyz.
