blur the game beta test excitement

with a sweet little baby like yours i doubt your hands are grubby :) anyway i got two beta keys for this now lmao after i used the link you provided me i got sent the original one that i applied for hahaha always the way :) i cant wait to play it 20 players online sounds really awesome to me ....... i guess we will just have to wat until tomorrow to see for ourselves ..... i just hope it lives up to its expectation ... unlike some games i can mention lol :) anyway see you in blur :)

I remember this game I was watching trailers for it a while back but the fact that it's like mario kart and  Extreme G for the N64. Not that interesting to be honest and that is sad because I love racing games! Maybe it is the fact It is a game style that I have already played just doesn't seem like something new. I am not trying to say this game sucks.  It just seem like someone really like mario kart, Extreme G, and Jetmoto but with nice cars. Sadly enough I will not be buying this game for that reason. I feel like even though the game is not out yet, that I have already played it. It is a sad event for me not to get a racing game.

(People play Road rage on purpose?!!)

Its a battle racing game, which is interesting to me, and not just on the Nintendo Hardware for one, it reminds me of, yes Mario Kart, Diddy Kong racing and the other games you mentioned, and BO3, Midtown Madness, Midnight Club on the xbox and a few others, and i'm am more interested in playing all my friends together, in one lobby for once, it does have a hard core race mode, but i think in the full game, though i will miss Burnout sytle handling, it went to pot on Paradise for me, but since i put up with so many new control styles with so many driving games, i want to give this a shot. But it does look fun, and should be with 20 of us in a room, chaos, which will be sweet!

And still no code in my email, trying to get two so numpty can play with us tonight, but if anyone gets a spare give me a shout, have tried several ways to get the two, and since not heard from the blur guys as yet, they did twitter that they have not sent any as yet, but are giving the xbox 360 ones out which i missed this morning, i'll just have to wait with my fingers crossed, lol.

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

I managed to get 3 "live" tokens this morning which meant i was able to download the beta from the dashboard straight away ( the spare 2 have already been snapped up off me via the forum ) but you can have the token that i get sent by e-mail later on if youre still after another one Suffur. Let me know.

lol, i hate reading back my own quotes  but yeah everything i said plus more. The thing is, this game has surprised me because i hated BC for killing off the PGR series and swore blind i wouldnt touch BLUR, but now ive played it im happy with what they have done, especially keeping the "Skirmish Mode" weapon free so that hardcore racers have somewhere to play without fear of losing 1st place to a 40ft lightning bolt

"Powered Up" mode which is where the weapons are at is a real blast ( literally ) some of the active power ups are bonkers and with 20 players racing with all manner of sh*t kicking off there hasnt been one hint of slowdown or lag...quite impressive. Theres a few graphic hiccups, such as the road disappearing briefly at the pre-race line up but its a beta at the end of the day so any glitches like that are easily overlooked. The game = 10/10 for fun factor without a doubt.

I will if nothing comes in at all so we can take turns, drunk and I. As like zombie still awaiting the email, i did ckeck my junk mail before i dumped it, so it was not in there, i blame zombie and xandu for not acquiring some for the site, but then the baby is so distracting beautiful, i will have to forgive them for dropping the ball, lol.

starting to roll out the codes -

from the Bizarre forum: Latest news: I've just got off the phone with Activision. They're starting to website update process this morning their time (West Coast USA), and they expect the majority of the codes to be out by mid-afternoon.

Apologies it's not happening for another few hours, but the gears are definitely in motion.
 

Gotta give the yanks time to get their coffee and donuts before the UK gets its e-mails

Edit: I mentioned in a previous post that "Skirmish Mode" was weapon free, i misread the option in game. There are weapons, just for a max of 10 players. "Powered Up" mode is for up to 20 players with weapons. However in the final game there WILL be a weapon free race-only mode. Just thought i'd clear that up before i started getting messages later "Hey Ex, wheres this fookin weapon free mode" lol  my bad

I'm going nuts sitting here at work... waiting to get home to try out some Blur. Hope it's as good as I'm hearing people say!

The final seems to be releasing just after Split Second... so... hmm... going to be interesting to see if anyone's going to bother with the final.

well I am willing to give this game a shot but like I said out of what I have seen just not that interesting. how would I go about getting a code?

(People play Road rage on purpose?!!)

how long does it take to get that code?

(People play Road rage on purpose?!!)

Have you still not gotten the code? If not send me a message on xbox live and I will hook you up with a code that gives you a instant redeemable download code + 48 hours of xbox live gold.

6 more and sent them out to some peeps, as long as they come and play, it will all be good but if they waste it i will curse them with the pox, lol.

I was playing with waztedpapi last night on blur when in the middle of a race my screen gives me the cannot read disc error screen. I was in a party with Papi when i told him this. It is the funniest thing ever sense the game is a download beta... anyone else have the happen or am I the first? hahahaha

(People play Road rage on purpose?!!)

I've seen this reported on the blur beta forum. According to the devs the bug has been fixed in the next update.

-- The Creator --

so they are going to update it does that mean we will be able to reach level 15?

(People play Road rage on purpose?!!)

In the day, was an internet connection thing, i use to get it when my BB provider was fiddling with the line, but i could be way off. And yes lvl 15 for the win would be cool!

im x360 BOXER 360x I also have the beta for blur, its a fun game but its no burnout revenge!!!!!!!! hopefully split second is better. I cant belive they took the server down for burnout.We should all get together and sue ea for false advertising ,also xboxlive for selling it on dashboard as online multiplayer game when its no longer live..... guess they figured they would make a little more money on it!! paradise is a big joke revenge has a great following, for a game that was 2006 racing game of the year. They never made one single track pack for one of the best racing games of all time. I will miss it greatly.....Dont know what criterion or ea was thinking . I will never by an ea game again !!!!!!!!!!!!

what is this i hear about revenge no longer being online is this a joke?! some one telll me no!!!!!!!!!!

(People play Road rage on purpose?!!)

Well i guess its back,I dont know whats going on anymore.I am so darned confused im going to have to smash phsycadelic babe into wall tonight lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bring it on mr....... lol oh and so everyone knows there was an update earlier and the ranking system seems to be working again ...... thank god xx

Sonic asked me a few weeks ago if I wanted one of those Codes, LMAO! I said No..

Burnout is dead.. No one is playing it anymore, and when I get online and go on to see who is around, theres only one room open. I just stopped going..
