Blur - PC racer...any info?

Actually looks very tempting. I rarely pay full whack for a game unless it is a really good mp fps.

Any ideas if the xbox game will vary much from the PC version?
I have a good enough PC, but don't know which to get.
My xbox controllers work on my PC too, but I do like getting achievements... it's £10 more on xbox though.
Hmm,
advice?

In two minds about this. Hope there is a demo.

We should be so lucky. I wonder what the justification is behind publishers only releasing demos for certain platforms when a game comes out on multiple.

Never made sense to me, leaves the PC users feeling left out.

bottom line....looks like the Ford Super Van 3 is in it from the steam trailer....WOOT!. have to do a run and beat a certain time to keep it

5 gig dl apparently on torrents so duno what install size will be.

I may get this... Very rare I purchase a PC game on release but this looks like it could be fun.

I'm wondering if you NEED an Xbox 360 pad to work with it though? As I only have a normal crappy pad.

Yes apparently it only works with a 360 pad, you can't configure other pads.

Well that sucks! Guess I can nock it off the list now then.

Wait for confirmation but that's what I read on the Steam forums anyway.

There are programs out there taht allow you to send keyboard commands to controllers - don't know how well that would work though, for analog inputs like acceleration and braking.

The TV advert for this is awesome

Gamer_T · 26 May 2010 at 16:55

I've ordered a 360 pad now anyway! Long overdue! When is it released?

McGray · 26 May 2010 at 16:57

Steam has changed to 'May 2010' now.....

dirtydog · 26 May 2010 at 17:21

Should be released on Friday (that is the official UK release anyway).

Argh! Pads going to take 3 days to arrive... I knew I should have payed for next day delivery.

Anyone got this yet? It still isn't available to buy on Steam even though it's the 28th!

Relentless81 · 28 May 2010 at 16:00

That advert made me chuckle

I was hoping that it would be released at 4PM, but that's been and gone.
I'm starting to wonder if we'll get it anytime soon, as it's not even on the 'Coming Soon' section of the Store frontpage.

dirtydog · 28 May 2010 at 16:18

I suppose it might be released at 9am PST which is 5pm here.

You could be right, only 40 minutes to wait then
