Win! Xbox 360 Elite console and Blur

[News Portal]

20 player online races. An amazing sense of speed. Sweet, but subtle power-ups that enhance, not dominate, the racing. Welcome to the world of Blur, our favourite demo of the year. With the full game finally arriving on the 26th of May, we've got copies for both PS3 and 360 to give away. But what if you don't have a console? Luckily for you, we're giving away an Xbox 360 Elite as well.

This power-up is very rare, but when driven over, the player wins an Xbox 360 Elite console and Blur....

Well console version without console is silly, so how about a PC version?

I thought what better way to get ahead when your car transforms briefly to humanoid form, skates or leaps ahead of the cars and ends with a discharge of lubricating substance to cause a pile up behind you; or a rocket boost forwards; or both.

It should occur incrementally in roughly that order depending on how many of the same power ups you manage to stock up.

To keep it EXCITING, the player executing the power up has between 5 to 8 seconds once the power up is triggered.

And to make it even more exciting, the competitors have a small window to target said player with say ... Lightning... which stuns the player, stopping him in his tracks briefly or just spins him out, or even permanently retiring him depending on the amount of stocked up lightning or equivalent counter.


How's that for a slice of colour display and risk / reward ratio


I'll have a 360 version ... with console?

If I win, I would like the PS3 version. Thanks

This powerup creates an icy layer on the entire road for about 4 seconds making the cars dificult to steer, however it also effects the car that used it, the only advange being you know it's coming!

Alternative


Floor is lava

This powerup is a projectile or drop that sets fire to the wheels of the car one spot ahead of you (or behind if leading), no immediate effect, but lasts about 3 seconds with an end effect that melts the rubber off the tyres leaving the car scraping and losing control all over the road.

Turn up the heat - Totally awesome programmer designed icon here

For 10 seconds your car becomes super hot and any car that touches you in this period will have their motherboard melted and they can only drive at 75% speed for the next 5 seconds (values subject to change for balancing purposes) until the systems boot up.

...Was I subtle enough with this?

Required Edit: PS3 is my platform of choice (since I don't have a 360).

PROD

You lay the trap and when your foe drives over it their 360 PRODS.

PS3.

It's a Meeee

When Activated game play changes into a pretty version of Super Mario Kart till the end of the race. Kart Handling, Bright Colours, and Shell Attacks. This allow users with years of experience making it easier to win.

PS3

"Circle Jerk" (no, not that kind you dirty people)

puts any car you hit while under the effect into a donut. However if they can control the donut they can use it to build a small speed boost upon release, so that they don't get left too far behind, then it's up to them to get revenge on the Jerk.

edit: for the icon: guy in a ute with a pixellated fist out the window and smoke/tiremarks coming sideways from the back

editx2: Don't mind 360 or ps3 version, probably marginally in favour of 360

We Don't Need Roads





Visuals: Obviously inspired by the hover-conversions of the Back to the Future series, the car's wheels fold up, engines sprout from boot area and the vehicle lifts off the road - although it only hovers a few meters above the surface (it doesn't actually "fly", per se).

Handling: While in this state, the car handles similar to a WipEout hover-ship.

Benefits: Increased speed & maneuverability. Ability to avoid ground-level weaponry and effortlessly overtake earth-bound opponents.

Risks: While airborne, you are very vulnerable to area or targeted attacks. Being hit causes the car to spectacularly crash back to earth, completely out of control. To balance this huge risk, the driver can terminate the flight at any time. The car is not nearly as badly affected by airborne/targeted attacks during take-off and landing sequences, although being hit during take-off will prematurely cancel the flight (power-up is lost).

Usage: Single-use, on-demand. Lasts for 5 seconds or until interrupted, excluding take-off & landing time (a couple of seconds each way, during which there is no speed bonus).

EDIT: Fingers (and toes) crossed for a 360 obviously, but if I get runners-up I'd prefer the PS3 version - that way I can give it to a family member.

I call my power up - WTF?

It's a holographic decoy system. When trying to pass a vehicle that just won't let you - activate the WTF? system to create a mirror image of your car!

They won't know which is the real car trying to pass and hopefully move to block the decoy as you power on past on the other side - Sweet.

Obvisiouly it will require a fair bit of power so you will need to charge it and can only use it once fully charged for about 10 seconds. Side effects may include complete electrical failure and unexplained fires but hey, it's all good.

I'll take PS3 version if I win the game only. - Thanks

On Blocks PowerUP.

when this powerup is run over the user can lay a single landmine behind them. if a car runs over said mine, their wheels become square cement blocks. they can drive if they have enough momentum, but its really bumpy, and if they stop they cant start again until the blocks are removed. (say 20 seconds).

[Werewolph]

You activate the power up, and a Sandworm from DUNE erupts from the ground to eat your nearest opponent. I mean, we all know the premise of this game is to transport spice... What? It isn't? Oh well, the Sandworms need feeding anyway.

Failing that, one which gives you use of the killstreak system from MW2... 5 kills you get a Predator Missile, 7 kills call in a Harrier. 25 kills, hope you've been EMP protected, and you've got a spare anti-rad suit on the seat.

360 Please!

NUKULAR APOCOLYPSE?

GOODSIDE:The Lead car explodes in a bright white light that disorientates the other drivers. The Lead car flies into the sky then explodes with a large explosion.

DOWNSIDE: For the next 5 seconds afterward your car is slower because of the energy required to use that ability.

ok now when you drive over this power up it looks like a nose....
When you drive over it the car grows a nose and two hands + arms.....
now when you get close enough to a car (opponent) a button will come up on the screen and you press it.....
The hands finger goes up the nose pulls out a massive bit of snot and boom on the opposing car it goes.....
It can go on the windscreen (blinds the person)
The wheels (less Friction causing car to slide)
Or you can pick the car up with your hand (note the hand must have snot on it so the opposing car sticks) and you can throw the opposing car at another enemy

Speed Nuke

Any car hit by this missile-like attack will rapidly loose speed over 3 seconds. This is great for those who don't quite have the speed to take out the player ahead.
