Blur's Beta Going Public on Xbox Live Next Week
Written Friday, April 02, 2010 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

Due to an overwhelming demand for Blur beta keys, according to Bizarre Creations' Lead Designer, Gareth Wilson, the beta is set to be made public exclusively on the Xbox Live Marketplace some time next week.

The Lead Designer told Kotaku, "We basically ran out of code, so next week we are going to go live with the whole thing publically so anyone can download it."

Their aims are to have it available for public download by April 6th, so if you missed out on the Blur beta keys recently, fear not, you'll be able to take part in the hectic multiplayer action soon.

@6: Nahhh, they just didn't want codes from you. :P

Seriously though, the demand is pretty high. Check out the sites that are giving them away. There are very little if any codes left at all.

Anyways, I'll definitely be DL'ing this as I want the game. Can't Wait!

nice one Bizarre, sounds like an interesting game and all this beta time should make it better, just hope they don't get overloaded.

Huh, if they're that sought after maybe I'll try and trade them for something. Anyone have a PAX East hoodie? :)

The most people I've seen on the beta at once is maybe 500 - 600. Around 12pm GMT. That isn't much for saying they have "overwhelming demand for Blur beta keys".

I played the beta and thought it was fun, though long-term it might get boring as the tracks were simple and the tactics pretty obvious.

"We basically ran out of code..."

Yes, there are no more numbers in the universe that can be given out. Just come out and say you're releasing a demo.

For some reason I can't put this game down. In an ocean full of shooters this is a nice break. Very intense racing, that never gets old.

This game is extremely fun and all but when I play I think of it as no more than a really super awesome arcade title for some reason. When I found out this was a full retail title I was shocked.

This is just PGR-KART, i dont see it being that good, Split/Second on the other hand actually seems exciting and original. Not that i want this to be bad, id like for them both to rock in their own way, and if i like the Beta ill get it eventually, but Spit/Second def takes priority.

Personally thought it was a bit rubbish. It's a bit like mario kart with nicer cars and graphics and if they have given away the 50,000 keys already why is there only ever about 120-150 people playing?

I played the beta once, and never played it again. It's pretty cool, but it gets old quick.

It is fun, nothing out of this world thou, certainly not worth full retail price, i can see this being reduced quickly in the shops.

They ran out of beta keys because people kept generating them over and over because of the free 48-hours codes. The game is quite bland, but then again, it's a beta, so whatever...
