Blur Classics (2014)

Blur Classics is a vehicular combat game by Bizarre Creations. In the game, the player takes the role of a new racer looking to make a name in the Blur Competition in 1986. The storyline consists of a racer with their coach, Rhymer, trying to prove the seemingly corrupt Mr. Baldwin of his guilt, who has worked their way into a business magnate behind the scenes.

Blur Classics is an reimagining title to the successful 2010 game, Blur, and was released in September 2014 on PS3, X360, PS4 and XONE. At the end of October 2015 it was gradually released on Android, PS Vita and iOS and in November 2016, Microsoft Windows via Steam and later Epic Games Launcher. Blur Classics features game mechanics similar to 2010's Blur but features classic race cars ranging from the 1940s to the 1980s. According to Chris Davie, the game had a huge "New Wave" feel compared to Blur's "futuristic" feel.

In late May 2023, it was announced that online features of Blur, Blur II, Overdrive, Classics and Heist would be discontinued on July 1st, 2023.

Wave 103
Much like the real life new wave genre, Wave 103 assumes an intellectual, pop-art, post-punk nihilistic and technology-loving attitude. It celebrates the advance of digital equipment in music, through idents like "Who needs music with soul? We've got drum machines!" and "Who needs guitars? We've got little computer synthesizer thingies." The station also celebrates new wave's fashion quirks, like that "the boys wear more make up than the girls" and the "sexual ambiguity".
