So only 8 minutes to go before Sonys big announcment at the Games Development Conference. I'm pretty hyped for what it could be. I've read several rumours that it will be Killzone 3. If so then i've basically wet myself already. If not then i'm sure it will be fine. Just no creaminess involved. So that's my plan tonight.
On another note, i've been playing the Blur beta on the Xbox 360. I have many thoughts on the stability of this game at the moment. Will it do well? Flop? Personally i think it will flop. It just doesn't seem that in depth. Given that you only get to play on 4 tracks and reach level 15 of what?...40? (I hope i wasn't optimistic there.) in the beta, my first impression was bad.
My main nag about the game though. And in all seriousness. The driving sucks.
It feels like rubbing a brick on sandpaper when you attempt to drift around a corner. It feels like it is based on timing rather than judging distance. It feels weakly implemented to add points. If i were to suggest one way to improve it, i would say just add weapons to Burnout 3. Simple. Infact, most games that make a decent attempt at arcade racing should really look into Burnout as an idol. Its drifting mechanic is just so perfect.
Apart from that, the game seems well balanced in terms of weapons and i've only experienced the infamous 20 player race once. And it was really good. It's that sort of intesity of multiplayer which games need. But as i said i feel it will flop because of its lack of depth. I don't know, i may be wrong.
