"At what point does a racing game not belong in the “racing” genre? It’s a question I asked myself constantly as I dodged missiles, explosions and debris in my play through of Split/Second. S/S is the successor to 2008’s Pure out of Black Rock Studios. Black Rock are quickly making a name for themselves in over-the-top racing and S/S only reinforces that claim. Split/Second is an arcade style race that has players blowing up parts of the track and triggering events to put a stop to your competition. It has a cinematic flair to it with the camera slowing down to zoom in on an explosion or optional replays when you trigger a set piece that knocks out multiple racers. S/S is a fictional TV show that has contestants blowing up the world around one another to try and claim each individual “season” complete with “next time on S/S” and “Today on Split/Second” at the end and beginning of each season."
There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...

James Pettegrow talks us through an arcade racing title that didn't get as much credit as it deserved.
Split/Second and Blur were the two most under rated racers last gen. They were great games and wish there were potential sequels.
Hoping for BC as I still got the XB1 disc and still play it time to time. This and Midnight Club LA along with Project Gotham Racing 4 are hidden racing gems from the X360 days.
