MasonicGamer.com: Come on admit it, you didn’t play Split/Second when it came out in 2010 did you? I’m willing to bet you’re one of the people who complained about Burnout Paradise becoming an open world racer yet didn’t stop to think that maybe another developer would come along and give you what you were looking for all along. By the way, Burnout Paradise kicks ass so screw the haters.
Split/Second is an explosive arcade style racer developed by the fine folks at Black Rock Studios who are sadly no longer with us because Disney sometimes like to make stupid decisions. Regardless you may have already heard of Black Rock Studios before, they’re responsible for the equally awesome PURE which could be best described as an ATV version of SSX and it too is a superb title well worth checking out.
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
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
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.
As it was said, Disney shut it down due to it not being successful enough. With that said, a sequel could definitely have improved on Split Second's arcade madness.
Split/Second and Blur were the two most under rated racers last gen. They were great games and wish there were potential sequels.
Personally, i prefer games like that, more so Split Second than Blur. I also remember when i was playing Destruction Derby Raw back in the day.
GRIP is a game going to early access on Steam, because there wasn't enough people backing it on Kickstarter (unfortunately).
That's one of my only hopes for racers i enjoy.
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.
Thank u sir. Only way I can approve it. =]
I owned the game for a while. Enjoyed it quite a bit but eventually sold it.
Some infuriating guy made a bet with me over a race, announced that we made a bet to over 20 other people and that "He was a Split/Second master", lost the bet and then refused to pay saying "It wasn't a real bet and I was stupid to believe it was".
Whenever I tried to play the game after that, I just got mad all over again and it ruined to fun of it.
still have this game and its one of the greatest arcade racers EVER!if u havent try it,GET IT super fun
Great game, bought at launch. So much fun online with friends.
Played it, hated it.
In the same genre, Motorstorm Apocalypse was way better.
