Will this get a demo on the ps3? I enjoyed the split/second demo and will be checking out the ModNation demo soon, I'd like to be able to get a good idea on what will be my next racing fix

This or Split/Second? I can't decide! And they're both $40! Plus, I still haven't built the PC I'd be playing on them, anyway.

had no idea that was on pc too. damn. now i definitely have to wait and see.

edit: forget S/S. 30fps, no demo and no steam = no buy. now it's up to blur to win me over.

Yeah, Split/Second is not a good port. The Club was a solid PC port, on the other hand, so I'm hoping Blur will be as well.

Game looks good but from the videos I've seem, it seems that the power-ups lack some punch, i.e.: homing "laser", bomb, etc.

the powerups are actually pretty cool once you learn the game, as they counter each other in a rock paper scissors fashion

Screw it, decided to go day 1 for this. I didn't play the demo, but this just looks too awesome to pass up.

Any word on if one version is superior?

Debating whether to get this or Modnation Racers (or both).

Split Second demo didn't do it for me so I'm passing on that one.

No word on that, I just hope the PS3 version is up to par.

As someone who was obsessed with the beta, I can tell you that's completely false. SO much punch.

Should add this as well, as the multiplayer incentive, level-up & perks work exactly the same.

I have tried this and Split/Second for a few minutes, and for me Blur seems more fun, the game feels faster, controls seem better, and I love the powerups, it's just as fun as Mario Kart. also 4 player split screen co-op is great if you care for local multiplayer.

Note: This judgement is from just playing one race (on singleplayer) from each game. So take my advice with a grain of salt.

I have no idea if I want to get this on the PC or the PS3. It looks great, but I am afraid either one might have a problem of little to no people playing online.

Well if it's any indication, there was a ton of people playing the beta on the 360.
I stayed well past midnight some days playing & there were always tons of games up.

I preordered mine on PC. I've been lurking on the official forums and a lot of people are getting it on PC as well.

I heard the 360 version has Avatar awards. I wasn't too thrilled with Split/Second and am not sure how I felt about this beta. Fingers crossed it turns out good. Any chance we'll see a demo?

My mate has the game, just came back from his an hour ago, we played for only around an hour, but I had a blast. We played 4 player split screen, this is a great party game.

I would be all over this if I had cash right now.

I've decided to not spend a single penny on any game until Halo Reach comes out. So if my brother is spying on me right now, I'd like Blur and Mario Galaxy 2 for my birthday next month. Thanks!

How smooth was the 4-player split screen? Did it feel like a solid 30fps?

cant really say, as I was drinking, but it was a blast, it feels much faster than Split/Second, and all the items are great, one thing I like about this is that you can see what item you are going to collect (it isnt random like Mario Kart) so there is a lot of strategy with the items. Another cool thing is if you are playing 3 players all players get the same screen size so there is black borders on the top half of the screen, and the 1st player box is centered in the middle. This is probably the funnest game for me since burnout. Also if you like Mario Kart, you will like this game.

When is the review embargo up for this? I would think if it was good they would want reviews out early to snipe sales from Split/Second and Modnation Racers.

I think I fooled myself into thinking this game was going to do 4 player split screen, while playing online at the same time.

Apparently it doesn't.... can anyone clarify?

If Halo 3 can do it, why can't any other game this generation!?

I absolutely love the color scheme of this game and its menus, the overall style is just awesome. I think I'll be purchasing this, any idea of when reviews will go up, I'm assuming tomorrow?

Because devs are fucking lazy, thats all it comes down to. Apparently it can, but I'd like this clarified too.

Though, no split-screen + system link for sure.

I'm buying it regardless but I'd still like to see what the reception is.

There will be a glut of them coming up tonight and tomorrow I'm sure of it.
