Extreme Racing From Disney, With Pure

While a lot of racing games keep popping up, only a tiny fraction of them are worth playing, and when it comes to off-road racing, there aren't that many titles belonging to this category anyway... but those from Disney Interactive Studios set their minds on changing the off-road racing games landscape in the near future, with their upcoming title, entitled "Pure".

The screenshots available so far look great, but we'll have to wait and see if this game has that feeling and that "something" required to keep you in front of the Xbox, PS3 or PC for as long as possible, and make you always want more. Let's see what reasons may offer this game for those into racing...

"Black Rock Studio has established itself as a leading developer of racing video games and we expect to continue that heritage with the creation of Pure. [..]Pure combines the best features of both extreme sports and racing to produce an extraordinary and unique experience.", said Jason Avent, Black Rock Studio's game director.

Who can say he's not right? well, not me, at least not as long as I don't get to play a demo of this game, currently under development, an expected to launch later this year, for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, with support for up to 16-player multiplayer (this is a pretty solid reason to keep our eyes on it, apart from the screenshot at the beginning of the article...).
