Here it is, we could finally find out what Bizarre Creations prepares for Activision. The studio that developed the excellent Project Gotham Racing series is currently working on a set of courses which contrasts sharply with their previous productions .
In preliminaries, the producer of the game emphasized one point: the team was based on the strengths of the studio (modeling environments and crates, cars ... behavior) to shape a game more fun than PGR . And above all, their ultimate goal was to prevent players the number one frustration game boxes, the famous sequence of well-known lovers chronos, "pause, restart the race ...." The good intentions that did not delay us to be demonstrated in long and wide across. Put your seatbelts!
Blur without warning you throw in the shoes of a driver racing illegal. Channels in Los Angeles California desert through the streets of San Francisco or London, all playgrounds will be good to host the twenty participants in each event. But Blur is not a racing game like the others. Beyond its extremely realistic in both tracks and landscape in the car models included in the game, the developers have chosen to add a power-up Mario Kart, a little spice to the races . A mixture of genres quite confusing it must be admitted. Especially since later cars, the small guy from Bizarre Creations know what they're talking about and do not do things by halves. No fewer than 70 models will be present. All from manufacturers such as BMW, Ford, Toyota, Nissan or Hummer, in several styles (drift, rat smooth ...), and sometimes even designed in partnership with manufacturers if the variations do not exist! Each car has its characteristics divided into four categories two opposing two grip and ability to slip, and then power and stability. A hard-line that reflects the seriousness of this team but that contrasts sharply with the game set for the title.
As in the series of Midnight Run, the goal of the game is to make a hole in the middle of the night wild races from scratch. The interface takes the form of a social network like Facebook. Once we receive messages from its partners race inviting us to join them on a test. Note in passing that we found this interface for playing online where your friends will replace the characters controlled by the IA. After choosing his car on rushes for three laps of the circuit with two dozen lit. To facilitate an arcade gameplay, roads are wide and any obstacles (barriers, traffic lights ...) is destructible. But we no mistake, Blur is not a game of stock-car! To vacuum around you, it will pick up options that appear here and there on the road. But instead of recovering bonus in line with the general look of the title (missile, bazooka, machine gun ...), expect to be surprised!
Certainly we will not over other competitors in red shell, but the arsenal "WipEoutien" by Blur is also anachronistic. The shock wave that stops for a few moments the engine of your opponent through the firing of on-not-know-what too forward, it must be admitted that some options have left us stunned. Fortunately other bonuses as more traditional mining, or boost the key to wheel to repair his vehicle we have returned to Earth. For the moment (these issues are still under discussion within the team) each vehicle should benefit from two locations to store collected bonus. Throughout the courses, your popularity rating is expected to rise dramatically depending on your driving performance and the number of fans who follow you. Indeed, the economy of the game based on the audience that gives you some sort of reward Kudos to you. Once adored by wildlife flash night, you can improve your cars so they have more room to store power-up, or purchase an option that allows you to launch two attacks simultaneously for a tenfold.
With an artistic director as original, Blur will not leave anyone indifferent. It is likely that Bizarre Creations will build on the few months of development up to the exit to refine their babies to make under a layer of Polish worthy of their previous productions.
