Footage of cancelled racing game by Bizarre Creations

Wow so this thread reminded me I should buy Blur on Steam, and then I noticed that it got taken down.
You can't buy Blur on Steam any more.
Edit: Just watched the second video and that camera is waaaay too low to the ground. No wonder they closed down. /s
For real though it looks really cool, if overly shiny.

Wait...that's from some former Bizarre employees? Might have to check it out.

^ Loved that part. Reminded me of Trackmania.
Yeah I was imagining them having added..say the fantastic mechanics of Blur to it at least.
..Get Microsoft to buy it..

Man, I really liked Blur. This looks even more intense.
One ran in HD, the other one didn't.
I want to cry every time I hear about Bizarre Creations closing. The one development studio closing that has hurt me the most. :'(
This project definitely looks like Blur 2, which I believe was the plan (to turn Blur into a franchise they can reap rewards from often like CoD). The arcadier level design, with more loops and wider spaces, makes me inclined to believe that even more. A lot of those effects look stellar too for pre-Alpha. Sounds like some stuff that would look even better on next-gen consoles. Thank you for posting, OP.
I've said this over and over but what happened to Bizarre is so unfortunate. I still dream of a PGR5 on my nextbox developed by the entirety of Bizarre, not just remnants of them..

Plays in my 17.0.1. Check your plug-ins?

Blur had weapon pick-ups and was supposed to be a Mario Kart challenger, based off their marketing, but with realistic cars. Still had crazy physics and neon lights everywhere.
Split/Second had you building up a three-part meter which you could use to trigger set explosions and large-scale destruction in a level to take out other racers.
You inferred gameplay from an engine demo?
And even if this was Blur 2, you clearly haven't played Blur. The cars vary in handling and a lot of them are VERY nimble, especially in the fastest class. You need roads that wide when your running 20 cars on a track at once and there are power-ups flying everywhere. The game design choices are logical and make sense.

I dont know, it said cancelled game but if its just an engine then it looks great, pretty much next gen imo.
Yeah to be fair they don't mention too much more additions...wouldn't be enough with just background animations and destruction...needs some mario kart like Blur had, this makes sense but who knows I guess:

BloodStoone 007 is a good game too
Vehicle sections were aight, was a decent shooter

The gif makes it so hard to look away..
From a studio that supported Bizarre with dev and/or art outsourcing I believe.
Playground Games, the developers behind Forza Horizon are made up of former members of Bizzare (along with Coides, Black Rock Studios, Criteron among others). That's an amazing game.
It's a real shame no one picked them up.
It's also been oft rumored that Turn10 (Main Forza Series) was going to be behind PGR5, but that result may have just been Forza Horizon at this point, they play pretty much the same.

Yeah, was the best Bond game since EoN for my money. Had a lot more fun than I expected due to the incredibly short dev cycle.

PGR5 would have been dope. PGR3 and Geometry Wars was a big reason for me buying the 360. And PGR4 was pretty awesome even if the whole bike vs car thing didn't work as seamless as I think they would have hoped. I kind of want to pop in PGR3 or 4 right now...

I want to pick it up, but whenever I see 007 Bloodstone, it is still at $29.99 or more... I am looking to pick it up for more like $15 or something, but it never went super bargain bin, and whenever bestbuy or whoever had sales, they were always immediately sold out online, or just never had them in store around me.

PGR5 developed by Playground Games, please.

I only see one video, where is the 2nd video with the wall riding?
I'm not very fond of realistic racing games
In what reality can you drive on the side of a building?

is there a reason why all arcade racing games have such open straight tracks? Blur, splitsecond, and every NeedforSpeed game since 2004. every video looks the same; set on a city circuit with wide sweeping corners with huge flashing markers.
I never really liked these game but I always wanted NeedforSpeed to return to its roots with a game similar to the original Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed. still the best one IMO

realistic car models, realistic buildings, realistic streets.
Its just not my style.
Im a Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart, kinda guy.
When I think "realistic racing games" I think of sims (Forza/GT).
While they might use realistic settings, they're more arcadey than realistic.
Speed. Speed and all the Hollywood effects that go along with it. Fast and furious in a way, dictates how a lot of arcade racers should be in terms of presentation.
Tears here, really. Assets, assets, assets. I am at cry.
And damn yes.

Can't say those clips get me excited. There is a reason PGR has a lot of love, and it isn't because of silly weapon additions or driving on the side of buildings.
If Bizarre could ever have made another game, I'd have wanted a pure racing experience, which is what they do best imo.
