Blur 2

***Blur 2*** (stylized as ***blur 2***) is a 2012 vehicular combat arcade-style racing video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii U (as a launch title) and Xbox 360. It was developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Activision in North America and Europe, and by Square Enix in Japan. The game features a racing style that incorporates real world cars and locales with arcade-style handling and vehicular combat, similar to the first game.

The game released on June 11th, 2012 to critical acclaim and average sales. By August 2013, the game had sold more than the first Blur, +10,000,000 copes to be exact. Because of the popularity, Bizarre Creations began development on *Blur Classics*, focusing on more classic rides, for the Wii U & Sony PlayStation Vita. A version for the Vita was developed called *blur 2: INJECTION*, which didn't sell big unlike the PC, PS3, Wii U and X360 version.

## Gameplay

*Blur 2* would have featured an all-new physics engine, new cars, new tracks, an overhaul and revamp of the abilities, plus new ones, and a new graphics engine.

As for the physics, both the developer build and the pre-release demo demonstrated the ability to drive on walls and drive upside down. Traffic vehicles driving on the marked course were also seen on certain tracks.

The power-ups were also to be different in *Blur 2*. We've seen that the Shunt power-up from *Blur* received an overhaul from a damaging red ball in the first game, to a large energy pulse. The Nitro power-up also was also revised, and now lets off a trail of visual distortion behind one's vehicle while functioning similarly as it did in the previous game, giving the vehicle more speed for a short amount of time. Shield is now transparent and invisible. Bolt is a massive plasma blast that can deal more damage.

As for the cars, the pre-release demo prominently featured an orange Ultima GTR, as well as the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro from the first game driving on a snowy mount and around Dubai, respectively. Various other car files were also found in the developer build, though many of the new vehicles included a darkened Ford Shelby GT500 as a placeholder up until the December 6th, 2010 build. However, vehicles from the first game, as well as the Ultima GTR, the Light Car Company Rocket, and an extremely low-detailed RUF Rt 12 S are available to drive in the developer build.

The police would be introduced, as evidenced by the World's Most Wanted being an open-world map where you try to escape the police & The Marked Man. They can chase you only on Races.

The customization system is also significantly overhauled. Rather than only choosing your paint job, you can now also put in body kits, spoilers, aftermarket and OEM rims, and custom liveries. You can also choose from a lot of real-world and fictional performance brands. Instead of unlocking cars as you level up, you'll now unlock them with a currency called "BLR Bucks", simplified as Bucks, or Bux, or BLRs, that you can earn by completing missions, Fan Runs, Fan Demands, and races. This currency can also be used to purchase performance and visual upgrades. Not only you can customize the exterior, you can also customize the interior. There would be custom dashboards, custom gas pedals, steering wheels, gauges for turbo and tire pressure, roll-bars, and even radios. Speaking of performance upgrades, there's a fully fleshed-out tuning system inspired by other games with complete car tuning abilities, such as *Need for Speed: ProStreet* and *Street Legal: Racing Redline*, and performance parts such as aftermarket engine swaps, forced induction devices (i.e. turbos and superchargers), camshafts, cylinder heads, custom manifolds and more.

It also has more features that is familiar in the modern gaming industry, such as an advanced photo mode, a day/night cycle during races, and a cockpit view. The "advanced photo mode" and the day/night cycle will be a lot similar to 2020's *DiRT 5*, in which the day/night cycle is active during races, for example, if a race starts in the afternoon, and it is a 3-lap race, it will end at midnight, or if a race starts in the morning, and it is 2-lap race, it will end at noon. And the photo mode will have more adjustments and filters. For the cockpit view itself, this is the sole reason why interior customization exists in the game.

The craziest of them all is that you can buy player homes. You start off in a trailer park with only three or four starter cars and move up to a NYC penthouse, with shiny supercars and attractive women to hang around with.

## Soundtracks

This is the music that would be included in the game *Blur 2*. These songs would play during racing, the same way they would play in the game '*Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit* (2010), as they would roll as you race.

## Plot

### Pre-Title

It all starts in a street in Havana, Cuba, all with Putumayo's "Congo To Cuba" with an poster reading "¡Blur en Cuba - 23 Abril, 2013!" which means the opening (and the whole game) would take place a year after the game's release in 2012. Two kids are showed with Hot Wheels cars (a Gen 5 Chevy Camaro and a Tesla Roadster, respectively) in their hands, approaching Rhymer & the player, asking for an autograph. The player then autographs the toy cars, and gives a few Cuban pesos to the kids. As the kids walk away, an 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray stops by and shoots at both The Boss, Rhymer & the player, with only Player & Rhymer surviving. All of a sudden, someone calls on the '67 Chevy Corvette Stingray-driving shooter. The guy on the other line says: "So?" The driver says only 2 words: "He's Dead". Cue opening title with "Straight Ahead" by Pennywise playing.

### Shooting Range

June 15, 2013. The player wakes up from a nap in their apartment with a phone call from an unknown number, only for it to be Shannon who invites them to a "track day". The next day, the player arrived at the track day, which was set in an airfield in LAX. Whilst finding her, the player spotted so many cool cars around the area. From sticker-bombed Subarus with useless ski boxes, to a fleet of bosozoku cars and bikes marching along, to squeaky clean supercars. The player then found what they were looking for, a girl named Shannon. She then gives the player a list of upcoming events, and cue classic Blur style league introduction....

### City Limits

July 12, 2013. Since the chick in the cyan 2010 Mini John Cooper Works Clubman was humiliated by the player, the player is given a private jet for their source of transport, and we move to the player chilling in the Opera House stairway as Still Dre plays in his Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, followed by them texting someone what to do next. Suddenly a black Maserati taxi pulls over, and someone named Khan suddenly shook his hands with the player, and talks about what's next to come.
