Activision had grand plans for Blur. This beautiful mish mash of sure to work ideas was meant to be the racing genre's Call of Duty. They continued believing that until no one could deny the sales figures and it's developer was shut down. 11 years later, it's time to find out what happened.

Part of the problem is that the company that held the rights and the licenses for the vehicles just no longer exists. I don't know who right now would even hold the rights to the game. I am wondering if somehow it could be picked up as abandon ware, but I think a game has to be older than Blur is.

@@NFSBeast2365 I didn't say that any car brands didn't exist. I said the company that made the game no longer exists. That studio doesn't exist. So the rights to the game and all the licenses to use the cars expired with the company. So, even if another company came along and did manage to get the rights somehow (who even holds them?) to re-release the game, that new company would have to go back and re-negotiate the licensing rights to the vehicles in the game, or create brand new generic car models.

Hope you like it, and these recent racing game vids. I've been working on a few bigger projects in the meantime that I'm excited to share as the year goes on. Huge thanks gotta go out to the Blur community again for their knowledge and help. Especially Aibot for his timeline and Serge, the number 1 ranked player in the world, for his footage and insight into multiplayer.

Some game releases in May 2010, the same month Blur released: -Red Dead Redemption -Super Mario Galaxy 2 -Alan Wake -Skate 3 -Split/Second -ModNation Racers (another racing game I spent a lot of time on, also releasing on the same fucking day as Blur) Such a shame Activision had to ruin this game. Same thing with Disney ruining Split/Second. I like how they keep getting mentioned together, like two orphans left by their parents, sticking together through the years. Because both of them were fantastic ideas and both of them deserved so much more.

@eduardopena5893 2 года назад

I remember playing this game online for free, I think over Steam. I generally stay away from multiplayer, but I think that was the only free mode available. I got in and I unlocked the classic '69 Camaro muscle car. It had good acceleration, good top speed, but the handling was pretty god awful. In the class I was racing I would usually pull out ahead, then hit a few corners and would lose my head of steam. I would generally regain my way back to lower end of the top 5. But, in one race. On the very last corner of the last lap I was head to head with another racer. I knew my car couldn't handle worth a darn so I threw my car into a drift, and I pulled off the most amazing, perfect, power sliding drift around the whole corner, holding the line perfectly, and blowing by the other racer and to cross the finish line in first. I could hardly believe I pulled it off. I was very new to the game. But, something even better happened. The top 4-5 racers that were behind me and saw me pull it off shot me a message all saying how epic that move was. I tried several times to pull that move off again with limited success. Nothing as epic as that race winning one. Even though I might not have been amazing at this game, it was very fun and I felt like playing it over and over again...until the day it simply disappeared. :(

Now can we have a burnout paradise analysis? It's the third jewel of the crown of arcade mayhem games (alongside blur and split-second).

@henrik1743 3 года назад

Burnout series was great. Midnight Club LA was criminally underrated as well... that was like a mini GTA V ahead of its time. Test driving cars before buying them, huge customization. Start / stop car. Driver looking back when reversing. Cockpit cam (!!!!!) in like 2008!!! NFS didn't care about that for yeeeeeears

@ileutur6863 3 года назад

Yeah, but paradise didn't fail. Its DLC content alone did better than blur and split second

@RakastanPorkkanakakkua 3 года назад

@@ileutur6863 But he isn't analyzing them because they failed.

@logiclunacy606 3 года назад

@@RakastanPorkkanakakkua He's doing this because the games were unique and offered a unique take on the racing genre, they fell short in sales and became underrated gems. Burnout Paradise is just Burnout with a need for speed open world which isn't unique and also did fairly well as a racing game. It's arguably not even the best burnout game, I still think Burnout 3 takedown was better.

My first guess was Test Drive Unlimited 2. Atari put hella pressure on the developer, launched with a bunch of bugs and lacked polish, and lackluster sales led Atari to shut down the developer. Shame too, because the game and the franchise had a lot of underrated good going for it too.
