Activision has announced that it will delay the November release of Bizarre Creations'  next highly anticipated racing title, Blur ( Xbox 360, PS3 and PC), until 2010. The company said in a statement that it will be moving the games release date from 2009 to give the development team more time to enhance the game's innovative and distinctive online multiplayer gameplay.

Blur (PC, Xbox 360 and PS3), Bizarre Creations' first title since severing ties with Microsoft, is a racer that features races ranging from the realistic to the more frantic and arcadey thanks to a variety of customization options and power-ups. If that sounds right up your alley, you might want to make sure you have some extra money this November.

A Mario Kart in a simulator's skin? Maybe. On closer inspection, Bizarre Creations' upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 blast-em-up racer, Blur, has a bit of a Twisted Metal feel to it, or have I just gone too long without a good TM? Anyway, the guys at Bizarre Creations each give their take on their big project, and they've got it all on video, with gameplay footages to sweeten the ride.

It's no secret that Bizarre Creations has big plans for their Xbox 360 and PS3 title, Blur. What we've got here is a few more details on how they plan to go about those plans. Learning from their experiences with Project Gotham Racing 4, the development team puts themselves into the gamers' shoes and came up with a few gameplay features that'll improve the experience.

It was just around early last month when we reported of how Bizarre Creations spilled the beans on their ex, Microsoft, describing them as "getting cocky" at the tail-end of their partnership. Today, we have another company coming forward airing out their being upset with Microsoft. This time, it's Realtime Studios. Things apparently got really cracked up in Crackdown 2.

After setting Project Gotham Racing loose on the streets, Activision through Bizarre Creations is unleashing yet another racer into the scene - Blur. Judging by the press release, the powerups, and the blasting-off-the-streets bits, this one points more to the Mario Kart side of racing than PGR. More in the full article.

The biggest thing(s) for Microsoft this week would be Bizarre Creations' disclosure of their strained relationship in the past (can you say awkward), as well as the resurrected motion-sensing controller rumor that seems like it's actually gonna be here to stay. Juicy week, huh? And that's just the tip of it all.

Blur is intended to change the face of racing, thus is the objective of Activision. Speaking at the Q1 earnings call of Activision Blizzard, Activision CEO Michael Griffith disclosed that they have very high targets for Blur.

It was supposed to be a promotional interview with Bizarre Creations for their new racer, Blur, but somehow, it ended up with an interesting anecdote about the company that Sony fanboys love to hate, Microsoft. Bizarre's creative director, Martyn Chudley, divulged how their company's relationship with MS got strained towards the end. "Cocky," I believe is how he termed it.

Some preliminary details have been released about Bizarre Creations' new post-Microsoft project in the pages of French mag Joypad. It's a racing game with some distinct similarities to Project Gotham Racing games, only with one major difference.
