Activision bought up Bizarre Creations, the studio behind the Project Gotham Racing series and this effectively ended the studio’s future contribution to the PGR series as Microsoft owns the IP. Now it seems that the studio has begun work on a new racing venture entitled ‘Blur’.
IGN reports that although Bizarre Creations and Activision have both remained silent on the matter, French gaming magazine Joypad has published some information on the game in its latest issue. Apparently, the game, Blur will deviate from the standard racing experience adding weapons and armor for the vehicles. We hear there will be mines and shields, and a host of other weapons. What we don’t know is whether there will be dual machine guns mounted on the cars’ hoods.
Also, the collision technology is said to be stepped up which allows cars to crumple under the collisions and get damaged as per the attacks. Environments in the game will include those based on locations from London, New York, Tokyo, LA, San Francisco and more. Right now there’s not much to go on with Activision and Bizarre Creations being very tight-lipped, but we expect a little more about the game, come E3.
