who cares about our progress 
Game pics look cool. It’s hard to resist some wheel time on an arcade type racer. I like games better with actual branded cars. I think I will be trying to win a code.

not bad not bad, i got they beta, jst to try it, wont buy, boycotted activision aggeeeess ago, just want to see the screen tearing and poor graphics with my own eyes, instead of flash embedded videos that downscale the rez and framerate. i know its a beta, and i know its not finished, but betas these days are for server stressing and tweaking, and the games always come out, almost identical to the beta. as i said, they are for tweaks, there wll be no majour graphical enhancements before release on may28th uk. theres not enough time…….and anyway, theve got nothing on

After giving Blur a good test out last night, I can say it’s not really the game for me. The game looks very pretty certainly, and has a bit of a Mario Cart feel to it with the powerups and stuff – but I feel it loses a fair bit of charm in the implementation.
I’m not a hardcore racer, but I do like the odd game here and there. If they’d stuck the burnout engine in this, with the powerups I’d be all over it like a rash – but to me, something just doesn’t quite gel with this game.

So you’re looking more for a crashing simulator than a racing game?

Not so much a crashing simulator, but the driving in burnout feels a lot smoother. It could be just something my brain isn’t getting about drifting in Blur, or maybe aiming the powerups, but even the way the cars take damage in Burnout is more appealing to me – more believable crashes.

Is the drifting much good in the game? Still haven’t got a chance to play it =( I liked the drifting in GT5 prologue and NFS =)

In my mind, no. At least initially its very hard to pull off effectively, which is very offputting as I’m used to games trying to draw you in rather than push you away.
If you pull off a drift you get bonus “fans” (experience), but it’s not intuitive as you’re driving that hammering the brake on and off will produce the best drift.
It may be I still haven’t gotten the knack, but it’d be nice to have some kind of tutorial system to take you through the physics of the cars in this game before lumping you right in on the track.

“as I’m used to games trying to draw you in rather than push you away.”
Isn’t that the difference between a front and rear drive car?

Yeah, a tutorial system would be a good addition =) Took me ages to get the hang of drifting in GT5 prologue and its so simple to do when you know how =O
I can imagine its the same in Blur

Heh, I expect it is. Still – it is very very shiny and impressive overall. If I didn’t have other racing options it’d certainly fill that gap in my games collection
