GC 09: These Blur screenshots are kind of blurry photo

Irony? Poetic justice? I don't know what to make of these Blur screenshots being blurry, mostly because my cat decided to be a dick and jump on my face while I was sleeping last night so now I'm sleep deprived.

Straight out of gamescom in Cologne, Germany are a fresh batch of images for the arcade-style, power-up lovin' racing game Blur by Bizarre Creations, the maker of Geometry Wars 2 and other fine computer videogames, I think.

The thing that looks sort of like a black hole in the header picture seems new to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was slipped in one of the previous trailers for a split second. Likewise, I don't remember seeing the power-up that causes your foes to ascend to the heavens before either.

I thought Blur didn't have licensed vehicles on account of all the weapons and general chaos in the game but that looks a whole hell of a lot like a Ford GT. Did they get licensed vehicles at some point and I missed it?

I'm pretty sure all the vehicles are licensed.

Gotta say, I frigging LOVE the visual effects that they have going on in these screenshots. Kinda like a nextgen version of that Wii NFS game.

fetusmilk sums up my concerns precisely. Power-ups with licensed vehicles is not new, yet Bizarre talks like they are revolutionizing the genre. I want to be excited for this since they made Project Gotham Racing, and I fucking love Project Gotham Racing (and the Ford GT for that matter), but I have not been impressed by anything I have seen of this game.

Oh, and if I were a cat I would totally jump on your face, not because I'm a dick, but because I love you.

I hate that misuse of irony. If the screenshots were very sharp, then it would be ironic.

One of the best games at E3 in my opinion. It rocked my face.
