Blur dev's unfinished game surfaces

^ edit...

If I never drive a pointless car "racing" game again, it'll be too soon. blur has ruined me forever for a FUN racing game, something nobody else tries to do. You can make your game as surreal as possible with true driving dynamics that fully mimic the actual vehicle and gfx that make your jaw drop BUT it's a yawn-a-second and of no interest to me. I'll savor every moment of blur until the servers are shut off. And then I'll grimace even harder at Activision.

blur is one of my most-loved games ever. Been gaming since 1975 and have around 35 consoles in my arsenal. Bean counters at Activision can suck it. Such a premiere title, such a sad disgrace it was swept under the rug and Bizarre Creations ushered into the ground to push up daisies after a couple decades of awesome prior to Activision's parentage. Oh, Activision, I fondly recall you so well back-in-the-day. Over the decades, I've lost complete respect for you and your bottom line.

everybody says that Blur has great gameplay and graphics. but what about the soundtrack? Blur has one of the best soundtracks in a videogame.

Blur was such a fun game, the multiplayer is still fun but kind of ruined do to people abusing the drift mod.

I had great fun with Blur, and would of loved to see more.

Activision+EA = End of a gaming era.

I still need to get Blur...

Bizarre Creations were pretty mediocre overall. MSR, PGR 1 and 2, and Geometry Wars were good, but that's about it. The Club was a giant letdown, and Blur wasn't nearly as good as Split Second.

They claimed Blur was so new and innovative when there have been a TON of games like it over a decade before. Road Wars, Impact Racing, and Carmageddon come to mind.

Blur was one of the most fun racing games ive played in a long time, and Bloodstone really surpised me and was one of my top games of that year. Sad to hear they went downhll, especially with so much crap out there that still sold better than blur/bloodstone

I really liked Blur. It was a Kart racing game and a serious racing game at the same time and its visuals were SWEET! Very sad news to hear.

Blur was an extremely underplayed game with a massively dwindling and fun multiplayer. it was disappointing to see it fall the way it did

That's a shame... Blur was a surprisingly great game.

what there was a game called blur or that why I never heard of it they are part of Activision and all they make is CRAP and I DON'T PLAY CRAP

I would say start a Kickstarter on this.

The original post was taken down, but you can find the videos elsewhere

I think the videos were taken down.

Blur was really fun. I really wish I could see these videos.

sorry but Blur was just horrible

I liked Blur but Oasis were better.

Damn you Activision, you just had to close down Bizarre Creations...

Think acrade racers have been damaged beyond repair with the demise of Bizzare and Black Rock!

Bizarre was a nice studio and its last titles were seriously underrated. Blur was a tonne of fun as the great visually stunning arcade racer with weapons it was, one of the few racing games that actually made me enjoy it so much I finished it in fact. Blood Stone was a fun third person shooter with nice visuals too, not Goldeneye but hey, definitely not a bad game. Sad to see the studio go, especially seeing they had a potentially great followup to Blur in the works. Ah well, hopefully the employees that were let go get a chance to create more awesomeness in the years to come!

The thing that sucks is there is no company willing to fill the void with an arcade-style simulation racing game. All we get now are hardcore sims and stuff like Mario Kart. Need for Speed hasn't been fun in years, excluding Criterion's Hot Pursuit, which is not what I am looking for.

Blur multiplayer was my fav racing game ever.

Project CARS is also due out towards the end of 2013. There are a whole ton of PC-exclusive racers coming out this year too, from Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2 to Formula Truck and RaceRoom.

Blur was quite under rated in my opinion, and because EA have made a serious f***in' mess of the latest 'Need for Speed' games, I'd love it if the blur developer made an Underground 3... just an idea =)

Blur had tough competition. At around the time this game came out, Modnation did too.

I don't why they put this on here. Game looks cool from the screenshot

Bizarre Creations, another one bites the digital dust. The good thing about game companies shutting down is that they can get resurrected (Flagship Studios becoming Runic Games) or the employees can find new jobs.

So Activision canceled what could have been a fun racing game and churned out the usual military FPS rehash nonsense for the twitch generation?

Typical. Blur wasn't too bad, it would have been interesting to see what other racing games the developers could make after that.

The only reason I didn't go for Blur was because it was published by Activision, I really don't like what they do and I refuse to support them, sorry if that puts good developers out of work but I'm not feeding the devil, the devil to me is 2 beasts, Activision and EA.

Glad you updated the photo Eddie, always enjoy your interesting articles of under the radar content.

Relelase game with Under new name i don't think that Whole game Was Deleted after project stopped, damn it it looked awesome and cool gameplay also. As for Blur and james bond they were awesome just they did not sold good enough.

I only wanted the racer which had Pinky in it. Him and that Toad knock-off had a future in kart racing.

Exact same thing happened to Studio Liverpool last year.

they also had a next gen Wipeout game in developmenet + a new IP on the go.

Weird how nukes get dropped on these great studios from nowhere.

Blur was amazing and original... Too bad Activision is stupid.

That looked great. The Audi R8 and the Dubai scenery were very impressive. Too bad it got canned.
