Blur developer diary explains plot, player progression

Heard nothing but good about this game.

Went ahead and pre-ordered it. Anyone else do the same?

Well, um... good luck with your racing game plot...

I don't think the story matters here. It's all about blowing up the people in other cars in crazy ways.

Looks really fun. Too bad it seems way to much like Wipeout. Or is it Hotwheels?

this game seem interesting, i have my eye on this and split second also i am waiting to find out more info about Need for Speed: Out of law? (i think this is the name not sure)

Geometry Wars 3 please.

Please.
*bats eyes*

Mario Kart-esque? Really??? I have lost all interest in the racing game genre in general...anyone with me?

All I see are people who forgot about this game.

Anyway im getting it.

This game looks really promising. I love the visual style and the blend of "real" cars with powerups. I'm gonna wait for reviews and impressions but I'll probably end up getting it.

Is it just me or does video have a case of "trying to hard"?

Hmm... Burnout with lightning effects...

True. I think it's missing the crushed metal and all the debris :)

As long as it plays like San Francisco Rush for the good old N64 im in

Scouser much?

I didn't realize anyone playing a racer cared about story but I can't wait for this game and Split Second. I have had them both payed off for awhile now.

Well... the Storyparts in Midnight Club L.A. were funny enough without sucking like the NFS Story-Parts and gave the game some life.

But how about making the GAMEPLAY fun first?.... because... well... in most racing games it just isn't fun to drive...

In Forza 3... collecting Cars is fun, Painting Cars / Collecting Paintjobs is fun, the Physics are very nice, performance tuning is CRAZY, graphics are good enough for a Console game... but the actual racing in the game could be so much more fun if there were just more Tracks and a better A.I. ...driving in Singleplayer is just boring after you've seen them all 100 times, the difficulties normal and hard are so extreme diffrent that normal is way to easy to be fun and hard is pretty much impossible to beat for me... would need a middlething there so it would have challange but still wasn't to hard.

In NFS Shift... well driving was garbage, had no feel to it... just kept playing because of the nice graphics but the gameplay generated no fun for me. Shift was better then the last NFS Parts i'll give it that but in the end it still lacked important parts to make it a good game.

Now GRID and CMR DIRT2 ....in those games it is just FUN to Drive, the Cars have a good and real enough feeling to them, it is sometimes hard to control the cars (like it should be!), the other cars are not to easy and not to hard (multiple difficulties) and it is just fun to RACE. Graphics are good too... BUT thats about it... no customizing cars, no modding, no tuning, no selfmade Paintjobs....
after 2 - 6 weeks GRID and DIRT2 were old and there was nothing left to do, still i think those were the best racing games in the last few years...

but somehow i allways get drawn back to Forza for the car Collecting and Paintjobs... until i get bored of the gameplay again.

Why cant there be a perfect mix out of all of that?
Something is allways screwing it up in the end.

For BLUR... didn't seen much of it but looks like NFS-Mario Kart to me. Which COULD be fun but i would first have to test it.
Midnight Club LA had stuff like EMP Strikes and Roar,,, could have done without it but didn't destroy the fun either...

Looks like a fun little game. Not $60 worth for sure, maybe in the $20-$30 range. I'm eager to see some actual gameplay footage though. They've been showing the same video footage for months now.

You think if they were going to call it 'Blur' they would try harder to not even go close to copying the Band of the same names Logo? It's not exact but f-me it's way similar. Great band though, wonder if the game will live up to the great name ;)

Have they decided that since NFS doesn't need it's old cheesy 'underground scene' storylines any more, they're up for grabs? To be really naff-tastic, they need to throw in something about avenging a murdered brother and an urban crime boss.
