Call of Duty has become one of the top shooter games in the industry and Activision is planning on making a racing game that will achieve the same status as Cal of Duty. It is called Blur, no word on what kind of racing game it is, but most likely and arcade racer. We will see some footage come E3 2009.

"Blur brings real innovation to the racing category and is looking very strong. You will all get a chance to see this game first-hand at E3, but suffice it to say, we are excited to be entering this genre with this game."

Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard added: "... we have we think a unique opportunity in the racing genre with Bizarre Creations, one of the great developers of racing product, and we are especially excited about entering what has been historically one of the biggest categories of video games that we have not been in before, and as Mike said, we expect to do in that category over time what we did in the first person action category with Call of Duty."

      Well, if Blur follows the same pattern as NFS, it'll start pretty good and go in a downward spiral.

    If they're trying to say that this game will have a short offline experience which is mostly just training for when you get online where the main bulk of the gameplay will take place, then nice.

    If they're trying to say this will be arguably the greatest and most-loved franchise in the racing game genre, then S - T - F - U and prove it
