What The Hell Happened To Blur?

I think blur was ahead of its time. If it was to come back today with crossplay with even the mobile market, the game could thrive

Finding out how a game that created so many childhood memories was not well received, is heart breaking

[@rxinfxllYT]

Man I feel you there. This game was my childhood too. I remember playing hours upon hours with friends or by myself after school, at night or early morning. It’s just one of those games that made such a mark on our generation of gamers that today’s gamers won’t necessarily understand. They’ll have their own versions of that but we had the OG experience you know? BLUR was too good. Imagine if someone made a petition to get it back up and running and send it to the devs who knows maybe they’d make it again.

Activision made a huge mistake in dropping the company who made Blur. I would certainly put this on a level above most racing games as it expertly combined the elements of Mario Kart like power-ups with the standard racing of Need for Speed vehicles. This had so much potential to be massive.

[@StemmedWig9988]

My favorite racing game. Played through it again a year ago and it was exactly as fun as i remembered it to be. One thing that bothered me when it launched was the marketing campaign for the game. Actually calling itself "a kart racer for grown ups, come play with the big boys". While kinda funny it really felt cheesy and i don't think many people saw the ad and were like "damn i need that". Still a great game tho, shame it didn"t get the sequel it deserved, same for split second.

[@WesMordine]

Don't be like Sega. Don't be like Burger King. Don't be like Pepsi. Poking fun at you direct and superior competitor is a huge no-no.

[@Sekaniy]

Yeah they were trying to take a shot at Mario Kart like it was too childish. I bought it specifically cause I have 3 kids and we wanted 4player split screen. But it suffers from the same element of MK, skilled driving mean nothing compared to the right power ups

My enjoyment from this game as a child was how high the skill ceiling was. All the items have its basic uses and functions but most people stopped there. There was a whole set of other ways to use the items like launching the mine item forward instead of backward, using the speed boost backwards shot out this wave that slowed anyone near you before before launching you and reverse shooting the shunt that was arguably more effective than shootin it forward. I must put at least 500 hours in the game just dunking players online, fun times

This is one of those games that I said looked stupid.... then I played it and had a blast. I said the same for Minecraft, and I never felt so wrong in my life, especially out of all the people that could have got me into it was my Dad. I liked the power up mechanics as most other "realistic" racing games that had the fancy cars I liked in real life. I have always also had a knack for crazy shenanigans and destruction, especially in racing games. My favorite Ps2 racing game was probably Crash 'n' Burn. I also really loved FlatOut 2. So this game felt great to me in that 1 aspect of destructive cars and craziness. The powerups made it more possible.

I first played Blur on my uncles Xbox back in like 2012. I didnt have my own copy til 2020, but it always holds a place in my heart as one of the best racing games of all time. I think a thing that could make a better competitor in today's market is to give a story behind what feels like a vast emptiness in the racing locations. Either reveal why only you and the other racers are the only seemingly living things around the courses or add in more assets like civilians and a few NPC vehicles to avoid. The OG game just felt empty and kinda sad unless you were playing with friends
