Here's what Bizarre Creations' Blur looks like photo

Bizarre Creation's have finally revealed more than a name, gracing us with the first images of its upcoming racer, Blur.

Surprisingly, Blur's singer Damon Albarn doesn't appear in a single one of these screens. However, fast-looking cars, cloudy skies, and lots of lightning effects. What you're seeing is the game's power-ups in action, specifically what appears to be a huge burst of energy that can knock other cars off the road. The game mixes photo-realistic cars and environments with some over-the-top offensive and defensive attacks to spice things up a bit.

"Everything the player does, both in their cars and with their cars is a dramatic adrenaline rush," says Bizarre's Creative Director, Martyn Chudley. 

So, Mario Kart meets Need for Speed? Sure. Why not? We're crossing our fingers Blur is playable at E3; we'll let you know how that works out.

Looks cool, I just wish they had picked a more distinct name. We've already got DiRT, Grid, RACE Pro, Pure, FUEL, and Cars, we didn't need another generic four-letter titled racing game.

I predict that someone is making a racing game called Wheels.

I have a better name for a driving game. Horseless Carriage.

What's in a name? I think the game looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more of it.

I was never really a fan of the Project Gotham series. They were neat and they gave you a sense of speed but the car handling always left something to be desired.
I hope that Bizarre Creations does well with this new game and I look forward to trying it out.

@Soulwax: Change it to "Whlz", and I think you have a winner. Or maybe "Rimz". Yeah, Rimz!

A hip-hop flava'd sandbox driving game with official sponsors like Buick, Cadillac and more. Pimp your ride with crazy hydraulics, in-car fog machines, rims, LCD screens under the driver's seat, and any number of other bangin' upgrades. These things will get you the street cred you need to make it in your new hood (check out the new HyDrOlyX(tm) QTE that YOU can do at EVERY INTERSECTION!

This is looking pretty blurish at the moment. Will keep my eyes open.
