Last December Activision had trademarked "Blur." We jokingly speculated it was for Guitar Hero: Blur. You, being smarter, put together that it was Bizarre's new racing game. You were right.
According to the latest issue of French magazine Joypad, Blur is the upcoming Activision-published, Bizarre racing title that's likely to be revealed at this year's E3. Details are scarce, but fast cars, fancy locations, and car damage is confirmed.
But there's a catch -- unlike Project Gotham Racing in which cars would get damaged by other vehicles or poor driving, Blur will feature weapons. And armor. Also... awesome.
Again, we suspect we'll see and hear more about Blur at E3 this June. But just sit and let this sink in -- Project Gotham Racing meets Mario Kart. Yeah, we thought you'd like that.

[Update: While we're still pretty sure the game will be fast, the whole "weapons" thing is still up in the air. According to Edge Online, there will be no guns in Blur. We're still crossing our fingers for turtle shells, however. Thanks, Edward!]

I'm going to make a racer, you know what it is going to be called?
Cock.
But, I love guns, and I love the idea of designing your own car and tuning it.
So if they coat that with a solid multiplayer, Im in.
My only gripe with this is that it seems quite unoriginal. A racer with combat integrated into it isn't the most imaginitive thing ever. Why not something more untapped? Like a racer where you're on a Dolphin and you race other Dolphins around an island in a no-holds-barred free-for-all festival of frolicking fun?
By a jumbo jet
It wasnt easy
But nothing is, no
When I feel heavy metal
And Im pins and Im needles
Well I lie and Im easy
All of the time but Im never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head done
When I was young
Its not my problem
Its not my problem
When I feel heavy metal
And Im pins and Im needles
Well I lie and Im easy
All of the time but Im never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you
Just give me a PGR style racer that just happens to have rockets and explosions.
Prepare to go fast. Real fast.
