The platform’s rigid, anti-consumer DRM policies - first made public during the event - were quickly backpedaled in the wake of public outcry. The Xbox One’s launch would prove to be a daunting low for the company. Goode” in Back to the Future - the gaming community wasn’t quite ready for it. It landed like Marty McFly’s crashing metal crescendo to “Johnny B. That hour-long event was perhaps too in the clouds, overly focused on non-gaming entertainment for Xbox loyalists. It was, he said, “rocket science-level stuff.” The Xbox One would deliver engaging cross-platform experiences, shaping new interactions that promised to blur the line between gaming and other mediums. Over the next ten minutes, flanked by six massive screens and dappled in apple-green light, Whitten painted a picture of a next-generation console powered by cloud computing. Sadly, that was not enough and the game couldn't find an audience, despite strong reviews and proved to be a primary factor in the demise of Bizarre Creations.Wearing a sharkskin sportcoat over dark jeans and an untucked shirt, Marc Whitten strode onto center stage inside a massive tent on Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Washington.Īs I sat in the audience of the company’s marquee event of 2013, Whitten was prepared to talk science - and a little magic. The presentation across the board is excellent.

I did like the menu's and the odd "previously on blur" that meets you when you come back to the game, once you've got one in progress, which recaps what you did last time and reminds you of your next goal (a feature that countless open world games could do with). At another time in my life I might have stubbornly fought my way though all of it, but right now, it feels like it's time to move on. I did switch to easy, which you can do dynamically during the career mode, at which point I started to make progress but after just a couple of sessions I felt like I'd seen all the game had to offer - with the play modes and the courses starting to become repetitive fairly quickly. Often I would find that I was racing OK, only to be hit with a homing weapon (lets call it a red shell, as that's really what it is) at which point I was overtaken by the majority of the opposition, who all seem to be racing as one throng, rather than spreading out around the course. I'll be the first to admit I am not great at racing games, and on the medium difficulty setting I could barely make any progress. Each race also includes specific fan sections, where the racer can earn more supporters by undertaking an additional trial, such as a lengthy drift around a corner, or long distant hit with a missile, the success in which may detract from your overall race performance. The events themselves take the form of time trials, destruction derbies and more traditional races where various "Power ups", such as offensive weapons, defensive shields and speed boosts can be collected and deployed. Various actual car models are available, each with particular acceleration, speed and durability statistics.
