Activision had grand plans for Blur. This beautiful mish mash of sure to work ideas was meant to be the racing genre's Call of Duty. They continued believing that until no one could deny the sales figures and it's developer was shut down. 11 years later, it's time to find out what happened.

Will you do another Minecraft critique after the cave update
Whitelight works super faaast
Honestly the only racing game with the "Mario Kart" style that worked for me was Sky Drift... too bad bobody heard about it.
Imagine having one of the greatest arcade racing games on your hands and not selling it in stores, not making sequels nor giving it away to other devs.
It’s ABK. If it’s not making CoD money, it’s a failure in their eyes.
Part of the problem is that the company that held the rights and the licenses for the vehicles just no longer exists. I don't know who right now would even hold the rights to the game. I am wondering if somehow it could be picked up as abandon ware, but I think a game has to be older than Blur is.
@@eduardopena5893 which brands no longer exist, which were in blur?
@@SanchezS1998 SMFH
@@NFSBeast2365 I didn't say that any car brands didn't exist. I said the company that made the game no longer exists. That studio doesn't exist. So the rights to the game and all the licenses to use the cars expired with the company. So, even if another company came along and did manage to get the rights somehow (who even holds them?) to re-release the game, that new company would have to go back and re-negotiate the licensing rights to the vehicles in the game, or create brand new generic car models.
Man, I never owned this game, but hold fond memories of split-screen with friends to this day. Really glad you delved into the depth of the power-ups and their usage across various modes, too often conversation of this game is just summarized as Mario Kart, not that I blame them considering the marketing.
It's nice to see you here! I love your videos!
Hey it's American Whitelight!

@@StrayCatto I'm pretty sure he's Canadian
no fair. you cant heart comments from your alt account
Split Second and Blur, the most fun racing games i've ever played.
Great video btw.
That’s what I plan on playing for the first time lol.
good ol xbox 360 & PS3 era
Downtown Run too :D
And Midnight Club LA
Then play Wreckfest
I absolutely ADORED this game when it first came out. Nothing has caught my attention since then. I feel like the "weapon racing" genre could use another shake up like Blur
Yessss! I was looking for a game for my wife and daughter to play co op on PC with me and came across this gem... Miss this game!
I'm surprised Rocket League haven't come up with something like this. A new mode where you go round a track and have special abilities
AND SPLIT SECOND
I mean you could try asphalt but I must warn you the newer asphalt games are ass
So dont play them, try burnout paradise remastered instead
Some game releases in May 2010, the same month Blur released:
-Red Dead Redemption
-Super Mario Galaxy 2
-Alan Wake
-Skate 3
-Split/Second
-ModNation Racers (another racing game I spent a lot of time on, also releasing on the same fucking day as Blur)
Such a shame Activision had to ruin this game. Same thing with Disney ruining Split/Second. I like how they keep getting mentioned together, like two orphans left by their parents, sticking together through the years. Because both of them were fantastic ideas and both of them deserved so much more.
What an absolutely insane month for games, all these are gems
Jesus Christ, that’s a hell of a release month, and all of those games are fantastic
I bought Red Dead, Alan Wake and Blur on the same day. Maddening
Apart from Skate, I bought all these on release. Blur was the game I spent most time on.
@@davidbromfield8328 madlad
In Turkey, u can still find blur in most internet cafes. We still play LAN parties. it's like cod 2 or 4; a classic
Same in Kazakhstan, but nobody cares. People play fifa 21 cuz it's cool.
I was thinking where I played this game when I don't remember buying it. I think it was in an Internet Cafe also in India.
Same in egypt !
Same in India. We still have tournaments at game cafes.
Yorumunu görünce anılarım canlandı bir anda. Ne eğlenirdik blur oynarken be.
One of the most underrated racing game ever! Still to this day I pray for a sequel 🙏
same man
Apparently the goobers at Activision removed the production and Devs company. So probably there will be none
@@name-er6vc sad & true..
Agreed, I loved this game with a passion.
Well only time will tell
I loved this game to death. It was one of my favorite games of all time. When I decided to pick up the game again a few years later after stopping, there was no one to play with. For the next few years, I kept logging on every few months to see if there was sudden interest in the game so I can go against some people, but nothing.
A game that wanted to be played, but no one to play it.
Thankfully it have splitscreen! Still plays it with friends:D
I do I miss this game soo much I have good memories on that game
I recently got a PS3, and it came with Split Second and Blur. omg I was so happy
So this was originally going to be another "don't forget". Ended up getting bigger and bigger as I found out more and more until it became something that unusually covered development as much as everything else. Tried a lot of new things. Hope you like it, and these recent racing game vids. I've been working on a few bigger projects in the meantime that I'm excited to share as the year goes on. Huge thanks gotta go out to the Blur community again for their knowledge and help. Especially Aibot for his timeline and Serge, the number 1 ranked player in the world, for his footage and insight into multiplayer.
hi how are you
Hi how you doin
nicce video daddy
Please do a video about the Control's two DLC's and the ending. Loved your Control video!!
Love your work man
"Relying on VPNs to trick Blur that it still has a heartbeat" is such a sad line
can still race on consoles no problems! (apart from the playercount being broken on 360)
@@LouieBMD It's only available on 360 and PS3 right? Not on newer gen?
@@puneet7768 yeah, sadly its not backwards compat yet. Still keeps my 360 in rotation that game
@@LouieBMD I was able to download it to my Xbox Series S with Xbox Game Pass
“Slow down and watch the AI catch up like a dodgy tweet from 2010.”
Underrated line right there
Classic AI Rubberband.
I remember playing this game online for free, I think over Steam. I generally stay away from multiplayer, but I think that was the only free mode available. I got in and I unlocked the classic '69 Camaro muscle car. It had good acceleration, good top speed, but the handling was pretty god awful. In the class I was racing I would usually pull out ahead, then hit a few corners and would lose my head of steam. I would generally regain my way back to lower end of the top 5.
But, in one race. On the very last corner of the last lap I was head to head with another racer. I knew my car couldn't handle worth a darn so I threw my car into a drift, and I pulled off the most amazing, perfect, power sliding drift around the whole corner, holding the line perfectly, and blowing by the other racer and to cross the finish line in first. I could hardly believe I pulled it off. I was very new to the game. But, something even better happened. The top 4-5 racers that were behind me and saw me pull it off shot me a message all saying how epic that move was.
I tried several times to pull that move off again with limited success. Nothing as epic as that race winning one. Even though I might not have been amazing at this game, it was very fun and I felt like playing it over and over again...until the day it simply disappeared. :(
Likely not Steam, these idiots removed the game from it quickly after release
@@p0werfu11 It was on Steam for a while. Still playable if you bought it. Dunno if it was ever free though.
Whitelight is beggining to sound like internet historian. "what is blur? Even better, WHY is blur"
It's from Avengers man. Every one knows IH just rips off the MCU.
Whitelight as Internet Historian for gaming when? I'd love to see a 7-hour dissection on Fallout 76's development 😂
I'll do you one better. WHO is Blur?
@@vaughn4lif Even BETTER. WHOM is Blur??
@@danmakuSuki Whomst has awoken the Blurred one??
I'm still furious there was never a Blur 2 to this day.
If you are wondering, there was an early build of blur 2. It's very bare bones but you can see what they were going for.
th-cam.com/video/TDn7J1qQZHM/w-d-xo.html
This video shows a very early alpha build of blur 2. The video is in German, but it's interesting to watch nonetheless.
Edit: didn't watch whitelights video til the end. He shows it off too
cmon man its activision. if it doesnt commercially blow up, its getting scrapped
there's a Blur - Song 2 tho
I heard that Blur 2 is cancelled, but that breaks my heart apart..
@@unknownplayer2304 yeah he says it in the vid
Played this game with 10 friends on LAN, and was an absolute blast. The way you can control the settings for lan parties is amazing.
Blur is one of the most criminally underrated games of all time. I will always have it installed on my PC.
so now the microsoft has bought the activison. they can make a part two of it
@@strizen3244 Hoping that they do.
@@strizen3244thats not gonna happen in reality, it didn’t sell well enough for them to revive it
This feels like a game that would be extremely popular as an arcade cabinet.
There was something like that at this laser tag place in my city. I think it was called Dirty Drivin' or something like that. Fun af.
That is exactly what my church used to have. They had 360s setup with this game running.
Nailed it
Exactly. This would give long established arcade franchises like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune and Initial D a serious run for their money.
And Activision is no stranger to arcade games in these more modern times. They have ported Guitar Hero into arcades. (Based mainly on GH3)
The Top Gear Intro is amazing.
Please use the Top Gear intro in some of your future racing game videos.
EDIT: I should have seen the Top Gear intro coming after seeing your comment in Raycevick's "NFS Carbon: 15 Years Later" video's comment section.
I was awaiting a welcome back to bo'om gear m8
😆
That definitely gave me a laugh. I wonder if he could pull off the retrospective in the Top Gear format. XD
That was a nostalgia blast I didn’t know I needed

In addition to playing great, it is a visual feast where every frame looks like a work of art. Loved the style.
I used to play with a crew of people on the hardcore mode. We were all so good at every track that every single race was heart pumping adrenaline. I miss those people. And I miss Blur.
It sold so badly that I won a Blur t-shirt. Had to take a pic with the game and send it in. Only 7 people did for 10 prize t-shirts.
man fuck :(
I would have done it if I knew about it
I played the game time ago and I wanna finish it this time
@Gmail User it is
@@murcielago481 yay i am recreating it
The sequel of Split Second would be Split The Second.
There you go no need to thank me
i miss split second

"Split The Second" - that's also my idea :-)
I demand a fundraiser with this title and to rehire BlackMountain of whatever the dev team was lol

New viewer here
your snarky style, seamless editing and narration, as well as the polish on the information you put through sold me. Came here directly after.
I dig your content. Reminded me a lot of Raycevick while I watched the first one, and surprisingly, he's here in the comments
The extra effort that went into this video was _felt._ It was incredibly enjoyable. I'll definitely be back for more, even if not all your videos will be to this level - 'cause it's still damn good content
👍👍👍👍
i've gone through the music credits but can't find it, anyone know what song is playing at 32:08 ?
If you haven't found it yet it's A Moment Apart by Odesza.
That song is in Forza Horizon 4 when it's loading or the main screen, so look at a playlist of Horizon 4
"No one takes Mario Kart seriously" me remembering the time we got arrested for starting a brawl over rainbow road bs "sure'
Would you kindly share the full story?
this sounds incredible
@@amimm7776 I need to know this
Ahh Rainbow road..... rainbow road never changes.
@@amimm7776 to set the scene this is after a big project finally finished with our group (various design students) so we had money for that branded alcohol, about twenty of us gather in a friends house (ah pre covid times) the friend who will remain un-named suggested we play something cycle through the usual and end at Mario Kart, a couple of races someone picks rainbow road and through a series of glitches ends up with only banana peels as power ups and sends the rest of us flying of or clipping into each other race gets more and more infuriating until a shouting match begins and escalates until a fight happens neighbors call the police who arrive in time to see me knock a dude right out and then get rugby tackled into a wall hard enough to dent it.
Tldr rainbow road cause rainbow rage and neighbors snitch to the hraty
@@kedarraman6690 Video Games don't cause violence, except Mario Kart, Mario Kart is the embodiment of violence.
Whitelight has such great tone when he talks about games. Both the editing, the music, and his writing first and foremost work to really communicate how the game feels. It's like he's reviewing a game through 45 minutes of poetry.
Yes it feels like your inner ear is being licked and wicked by his eloquent words.
I've never wanted a voice to spoon me so bad
the dread and realization hit me instantly because of how unlikely this was to get a sequel or a reboot. i loved the age of vehicular warfare in games like twisted metal, gas guzzlers and blur, i have such fond memory of me playing it with my friends back then
Bruh I feel old asf and am not even 18 yet. 11 years ago??? And it was such a banger in my days at the Games Room
Blur was such a good game. I wish it would have gotten more support and sequels.
IKR?
Is gotten a word? It's not pretty
FIREDELL10, imo Blur still miles above even Forza Horizon 5 and NFS UNBOUND despite FH5 got 92 on Metacritic.
This was such an underrated gem
No, it wasn't.
It was a decent Mario Kart clone with real cars, nothing more, nothing less.
Split/Second was way better at that time.
@@tydendurler9574 eh. I thought it was good
Had a blast on this game growing up. Playing with my bro made it more competitive and fun
@@mitchboland9591 it was "good". And it had "good" ratings.
Good Mario Kart Clone with real cars, and that's about it.
I'm playing Crash Team Racing (Remake) right now. The original must have been the best Mario Kart Clone back in the day. And imo wayyy better than Blur.
Midnight Club LA was criminally underrated as well... that was like a mini GTA V ahead of its time. Test driving cars before buying them, huge customization. Start / stop car. Driver looking back when reversing. Cockpit cam (!!!!!) in like 2008!!! NFS didn't care about that for yeeeeeears
Dude I have been searching for this game for 11 YEARS I have valuable memories of playing split screen with my dad and my cousins. Thank you for this video you don't know the amount nostalgia you have just thrown at my heart.
same i played splitscreen also its such a good game
This video was incredible, music choices, in depth analysis, the passion in the voice, the intro just loved it
"Gone by in a Split/Second, leaving nothing but a Blur" - Whitelight
;-;
Such poetry and marvelous use of vocabulary in this one
Eh, amazing
How can one sentence contains so much meaning.
Blur and Split/Second, I'll never forget about those two masterpieces
yo yello dude?
Even Coco Hayashi also loves playing Blur and Split Second. Split Second PSP is awesome as well.
so now the microsoft has bought this. they can make a part two of it
This game is a masterpiece. I wish we had more. You've earned a sub
so now the microsoft has bought the activison. they can make a part two of it
@@strizen3244 I hope so. They were making a 2 years ago and it looked promising. There's a video on it on digital foundry. I'll be surprised if they continue it bit if they do I reckon they should get playground games to make it
Aw man, this takes me back, haven't heard about blur for ages.
the bit about what Blur 2 would have been makes me think of a timeline where Bizarre would have survived long enough to be able to catch the fall of Blackrock and be able to get them involved in the sequel. Pretty sure they would have been on the same page for something like this.
thats why i love this channel
for a second i questioned its existence. either it was a faint memory or a forgotten object
So no one gonna mention that absolute masterpiece of an intro, peak top gear.
Welcum to Bo'om gear mates
I need part two. Now that Microsoft owns the studio, they can make it happen.
The studio closed shortly after the game's release
@@amac203 bummer, somebody needs to revive this game.

I couldn't understand why he called the game like that
glad you covered the split screen aspect. i played this on the ps3 with a buddy in middle school and have such fond memories, i dont even remember the actual story racing, just racing and playing that game mode where you knock each other off the roof. i also remember the damage model and car options being so satisfying.
We miss you, Blur. We really do.
I'm one of the weird people that still plays this game to this day and it's a staple of me and my friends lan party nights. I'm so glad someone still remembers this game.
Im so happy im not the only one, this game was and still is amazing and really fun!
Right there with you. Playing it tonight!
God damn wish in had friends
Not only you bro i playing it in my ps3 and the pc
I remember me and my uncle playing this game together it was so much fun i had a blast I was looking for it again but couldnt find it but im glad that people still remember about it
this is still, to this day, my favourite racing game ever made. So many nostalgic memories with that game.
The amount of fun I had back in middle school playing this at my friends house was insane. This was our split screen go-to for awhile I wish it was able to get a remake or something. Great video as always
First video from this bloke I've watched and what a masterpiece it is! But I must say his voice reminds me of the one friend in the pub meetup who always has a bizarre and disturbing story to tell
I swear, this man could sell me on anything. He could start a religion and I’d probably convert.
Same and I don't really see myself as a religious guy
"How fast do you wanna go?"
Next Video : Driveclub
I was thinking that or Wipeout.
@@Havok16 Yeah, Wipeout seems like it would fit nicely. One powerup-based racing game to another.
@@Havok16 "How Fast do you Wanna Go?" Is Driveclubs catch-phrase. It plays everytime when you load up the game. So probably Driveclub
@@TheJZsweep ah fair enough I never played Driveclub. But that phrase was also used in marketing material for Wipeout and I believe one of the songs on the soundtrack was also called that?
@@Havok16 I have played much more driveclub than Wipeout (about 200 hours lol) so you would know more than me about that. But considering he also mentions how the game killed it's studio and was a commercial failure, pretty safe to say it's driveclub he's talking about.
It's a shame too. Driveclub is actually an excellent racing game with LOADS of content. But it's launch was just ass. Hopefully this next video can give so more insight into that.
This really touched my soul man. Its 2023 and i still play this awesome game blur. I still hope they make the game again
Interesting video - I appreciate the long format with the way you scripted it. Thank you for sharing!
"Sometimes the foreshadowing is obvious."
Dude it's actually driving me nuts that I can't figure this out.
Ikr I looked up the quote got nothing, wtf did you mean in your obscurity mr Light xD
I believe it is Driveclub. The music which played at the end of each race in the game was a woman singing "How fast do you want to go.", and its creation ultimately killed Evolution Studios.
@@HiBoa thanks that's probably it hey, I didn't find it in a search cheers
@@MrSoichoro All good mate, I k=only knew it because I 100%'ed both the main game and Cars and Bikes DLC's so it is kind of engrained in my mind.
My first guess was Test Drive Unlimited 2. Atari put hella pressure on the developer, launched with a bunch of bugs and lacked polish, and lackluster sales led Atari to shut down the developer. Shame too, because the game and the franchise had a lot of underrated good going for it too.
Now can we have a burnout paradise analysis?
It's the third jewel of the crown of arcade mayhem games (alongside blur and split-second).
Burnout series was great. Midnight Club LA was criminally underrated as well... that was like a mini GTA V ahead of its time. Test driving cars before buying them, huge customization. Start / stop car. Driver looking back when reversing. Cockpit cam (!!!!!) in like 2008!!! NFS didn't care about that for yeeeeeears
Yeah, but paradise didn't fail. Its DLC content alone did better than blur and split second
@@ileutur6863 But he isn't analyzing them because they failed.
@@RakastanPorkkanakakkua He's doing this because the games were unique and offered a unique take on the racing genre, they fell short in sales and became underrated gems. Burnout Paradise is just Burnout with a need for speed open world which isn't unique and also did fairly well as a racing game. It's arguably not even the best burnout game, I still think Burnout 3 takedown was better.
id argue for motorstorm more than split second
Holy jesus what a video! My god that was amazing.
The car boosting as the beat drops at 10:31 was dope as hell. Great work as usual Mr Light
'Getting a Steam key of Blur' is one of the things on my bucket list.
How much money you got lol
Good luck. February 2020, I stumbled upon a sealed copy of Blur PC DVD at Walmart on clearance for $4. I couldn't believe it. I did not hesitate to buy it.
I'm actually bought the game as (Gift) for 1100$
I have a giftable copy. Kept it to hopefully one day fund my retirement.

Funny, cause that's an important point later on.
This guys voice is soothing and sound poetic at the same time
I remember having so much fun on this back in the day
This channel has brought me nothing but nostalgia and great memories.
Thank you.
I feel like Split second 2 would be called "Split the Second"
Do MotorStorm next, another classic
When i write this, its 2022, i love blur as a single/split screen player game and i started playing multiplayer with a community made mod. When i see drifters i dont rage, but i try too. I want only 1 thing: Blur 2. But i know 1 thing: it will never come out.
This game was a hidden gem, I remember none of my friends had ever heard of it but I spent so much time on it.
I also love playing Blur much like WipEout HD and Omega Collection. My favourite car in Blur is of course, the Lancer EVO X.
@@purwantiallan5089 Wait, I don't remember there being a Lancer in Blur. What class?
Biggest mistake was releasing this as the same year as the hp 2010. Because i myself remember being split between the two at the shops and ultimately picking hp. And it was so good that i didnt even need to return to the blur untill years later when it had already failed
Why couldn't you have chosen both?
@@hotel_arcadia idk i never buy more than one example of smt. Wouldnt play the two at the same time anyways

*SHUT UP YOU PINKY*
This reminded me of a memory that almost faded away. The flashbacks to split racing came running as soon as I saw those power ups. The most played game during my college days.
Dude the Chain Drifting Part almost made me cry
i... i never saw such Perfection
It's still extremely fun. Never played it properly back when it came, but I still play Blur PC in LAN with my friends often. It's sad that the company was closed, the game was clearly under appreciated for it's time.
This makes me want to see a WipEout retrospective
Hell yeah. Just inject videos about WipEout into my veins, I never get tired of it.
@@Calvin_Coolage There's never enough videos about WipEout !
Amazing presentation! Really enjoyed the video and am glad Blur is recieving some of the justice and recognition it deserves :-)
Never seen your channel before.... haven’t touched my x360 in years, suddenly me and my friends decide to play mw2 and I spotted blur in my drawer, and this gets recommended to me. Love this game
Can I just say that I love your friggin voice and way of writing/delivering lines my guy? You could narrate the process of grass growing on dried paint and I’d still listen to it. You have definitely earned yourself a subscriber.
An underrated gem that was provided countless nights of fun back in the day. This was a great video and I hope it inspires some people to pick it back up
something about this video has me watching it again and again its been a month since i started to put this on every nigh to fall asleep not that it is boring. cant really describe why i keep returning i just want to get across how great it is
I remember racing ford transits in this game on split screen with my friend
27:25 that GRID music tho. So good
37:25 imagine going from playing Blur as a Maxim model to marrying AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes of all people.
I did a double take when I saw her
This video is criminally underrated AND beautifully made!
Literally my fav racing game to this DAY
A genuinely incredible game that still outclasses most of its successors today
I want whitelight to cover more obscure 7th generation racing games like this
@@buffkangaroodog I do watch them, I just want them the way whitelight does videos
Still love it. Played first career with Ti Armor but from then on became a drift/fight lover.
41:14 Damn that blur 2 footage with the skyscrapers looks sooo good!
One of the last 4 player split screen game I played with my homies
Blur is one of the best racing games ever!
so now the microsoft has bought the activison. they can make a part two of it
The actual underrated arcade racing game that I’ve loved is Split Second Velocity
your writing is fantastic, and this video is great.
Another underrated gem I’m surprised you haven’t covered is Mercenaries 2: World In Flames
That Top Gear/Grand Tour reference alone was enough to make this video legendary
Blur's menu music is still engraved in my head to this day.
I had no idea there was a PC version nor. Thriving community, but i am definitely adding this to my to do list for the PC build im working out these days
Split Second's sequel would have been called "Split Second" and we would have used their release dates to indicate which one we meant, since that is the most infuriating marketing trend.
38:31 - Honestly, I remember when blur and modnation racers came out, I was deciding one of the two to get because I viewed both as kart racers. In the end, I chose Modnation Racers because that game had the ability to build your own tracks which I really loved.
I would love for you to take a look at Modnation Racers. I'm curious to know how the game holds up now that United Front Games is closed.
Modnation Racers deserves to be resurrected
@@NFSBeast2365 It does. The ability to build tracks would work really well on PS5 hardware. Assuming the game has PS3 graphics that is. lol
