| A real shame this, I loved Blur. Admittedly I did buy it for 15 notes at ASDA a few month after release, but it's a fantastic game that was brought out at the wrong time. Up against the very similar but not as good Split Second and few other title if I remember correctly. Now is that the fault of the software house or the publisher...?
Also a point of note, is this the first casualty of the coalitions decision to abolish the game developers tax brake? |

| Many would say it was the advertising of Blur that led to the game's lack of success and that would be Activision's fault. |

| No! Blur was awesome just wasn't advertised enough to gain enough media attention. Sigh just one of those games that's highly underrated. They really shouldn't give up. Especially on a unique ip like Blur. |

| PGR will live on, it's still a Microsoft licence rather than a Bizarre Creations one. Whether it will be any good will depend on the developer team working on it... |

| To be fair, they'll probably close down Bizarre Creations and just form a new one, that will most likely work on a new PGR if, that is, in the plans. |

| Thank god, I still enjoy PGR4 to this day. I, like a lot of people was disappointed by the announcement of Blur, the demo was ok but still haven't seen a price worthy of buying it. |
