Blur Sends Tweet at 150 mph

We hope you all aren't reckless enough to text or Tweet when you're driving around town in real life, but you can Tweet to your heart's content in Bizarre Creation's latest racer, Blur.

The arcade racer (coming out this spring) lets you blast out all your accomplishments and myriad other game details with a touch of a button from virtually anywhere in the game. You can even customize the message that goes out, which could make things extra salty if you're bragging about your leaderboard positions, how many fans you've earned in the game, which cars you've unlocked, etc. The game takes this kind of taunting to a new level with the ability to send challenges to your friends via Twitter. You can throw down the gauntlet to other players, exhorting them to best a particular challenge you've just completed, even if they haven't unlocked it yet.

The feature will be available in the game's multiplayer beta next month, and for more on Blur check out our preview in the upcoming April issue of Game Informer.

Do you think you'll use this feature?
