The fuck? I was thinking it was going to be more like Twisted metal, where you have real guns mounted onto your car. Not this futuristic shit.

Yeah I was watching the Blur feature on Qore yesterday and was thoroughly let down by what I saw. It's like a licensed cross of Burnout and WipEout, just bland and too arcadey. I'm sure some will enjoy it and have fun but I was expecting a revolution in racing games from what they were telling us before.
Another victim of overhyping....

ehh the midnight club multiplayer is better.
this is looking like a "on wheels" version of wipeout. but not nearly as good.

despite it's very, very obvious flaws, i'm mildly interested in this game. i love mario kart, and take pride in my ability to bust skulls in it, but sometimes the cheery power-puff setting gets to me. for that reason, i really hope this game turns out to be at least a very competant mario-kart with a tough/tuff make over.
at the very least, this might be a fun drunken rental.

@ ChrisFiftyTwo:
Actually, it can't.
If it had real weapons like TW I'd buy it in an instance but this? No, hell no.

it actually looks rad.. wipeout meets forza/GT.. if it had real weapons it would just be another twisted metal clone.. like..

It looks ok will wait on some reviews before considering though.
I don't really get why people are turned off by it not having real weapons though :/ seems like such a strange argument, as long as the weapons are balanced I don't really care what they look like.

With Spit/Second on the Horizon, I really don't see the appeal of this - at least the course changers in there seem reasonably well balanced; not being random means that you can avoid anything someone throws at you if you're good enough while still leaving the unpredictable fun of something like MarioKart. This just seems to ape the latter with none of the charm
It's unfortunate to hear that you didn't have a good time with it at E3. So far, this and Split/Second have been the only racing games to catch my attention. I look forward to a review of this to see if it turns out okay.
As the creators of the MSR/PGR and Geometry Wars series, Bizarre Creations officially earn my "benefit of the doubt" award for services to games that appear done to death on paper but turn out in execution to be insanly polished and addictive.
I'm looking forward to it, even if they don't seem to be doing anything totally revolutionary. I've always wondered why a more "realistic" version of kart racers hadn't been done yet.
Wipeout is the only thing that comes close, and it's actually even further out there than Mario Kart is in some ways.
