Activision's "Blur" Available at Incredible Price

Activision's crazy kart-racing sim has taken a beating at retail outlets, only managing to sell a handful of units. But judging by the positive responses to the Online Multiplayer Demo, as well my own experiences with the demo, the game still has the potential to become a sales hit if its publisher starts another marketing campaign. But until then, there's an amazing deal on this game that cuts the price of the PS3 and 360 versions down to just $30.

The demo's just too wicked to pass up on.

RockmanII75436d ago

They would discount the price as soon as I run out of Money. Its a really fun game.

SpaceFox5436d ago

Man, what's with all the haters? I know Activision is the devil but Blur's actually a pretty fun game.

nickjkl5436d ago

but youre money is going to kotick and i would burn my money before i give another dollat to kotick

Cheeseknight285436d ago

It has been $20. You could do some trickery with a Best Buy coupon and get it for that.

It is according to Activision

SpaceFox5436d ago

Um... noooo...

If you're referring to the commercial, just because they mocked kart racers does not make Blur one. It's like Burnout, with powerups. There are no karts.

Baka-akaB5436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

it is the same gameplay , and beyond ads even the devs says that's the kind of game they tried to rival .

So yeah it use cars instead of karts , but that's just an aesthetic gimmicks to try appealing to others .

At its core and gameplay it is quite similar to those kart games

Baka-akaB5436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

it is very much an attempt with a mordern cars disguise . It's an ok game

CobraKai5436d ago

The article called it a "kart-racing sim". If that were the case wouldn't it feature actual karts? I'd say it's an arcade racer than kart racer

DJ5436d ago

It has powerups, for crying out loud. The driving physics are definitely not kart-racer-ish though.

Activision games are never an incredible price, no matter how much they cost. They come with the loss of self respect and the sale of your soul...it's all in the Activision EULA in the manual

@BaseballFan15

Does anyone?, we're in the golden age of apathy, which is why activision is thriving on paid DLC, subscription fees and milking guitar hero...no one cares enough to question the price tag of a $200 peripheral for a game...they just buy it and smile, and figure out what else they can cut off their grocery list to keep up with the consumerism dream...

RockmanII75436d ago

Its a good thing I have no self respect.

ZombieAutopsy5436d ago

Well for a game that just released i'd say it is.

ActionBastard5436d ago

Well worth the price, fantastic game.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga477d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics476d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend476d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long477d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons477d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor477d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52476d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602476d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor477d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B476d ago (Edited 476d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EVERY Blur Game Ever

Whilst it’s rather disappointing that there are no new Blur games on the way, we can still look back at the series and reminisce.

there was more than one? man i must have really checked out after the first one.... or my lack of interest is showing. that game was..... not great.

Skuletor1859d ago

"there was more than one?" This is exactly what I just thought too. I just remember the one on PS360 and PC. The game was fun but I didn't play it much tbh

IRetrouk1859d ago

Wanted to love this game so much, but just couldn't, it was the cars handling more than anything else, why they couldn't have kept or remade the pgr handling model is anyone's guess.

JonTheGod1859d ago

2 mobile variants and a cancelled sequel do not a franchise make.

Gunstar751859d ago

Blur was a great game. Such a shame Bizaree Creations went bust.

Azraeia1859d ago

Tbf didn't know there was more than one. But looking at the other games in this list no wonder the series died after the first major title. Racing is an awkward series to compete in imo. You can't really go down the simulation route cause games like Forza have got that covered and if you want arcade smash up style racing then just play the old NFS or Burnout.

Nine Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 Cult Classics That Deserve An HD Release

Blurs servers were the main issue but would love to see it return.

AZRoboto2893d ago

I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?

The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s

TheDCD2893d ago

Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.

Relientk772892d ago

Remember Me
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Miss_Weeboo2892d ago

Alan Wake
Lost Odyssey
Demon Souls

TheDCD2892d ago

As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.

PhoenixUp2892d ago

Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
