Split/Second is a fast-paced racer coming out this year from Black Rock Studios, published by Disney Interactive (yes, that Disney Interactive). Don't let the publisher's past fool you: Split/Second looks to be a front-runner for 2010's best racing game, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering Black Rock was behind 2008's Pure.
GoGamingGiant was only allowed to play on one course, a two lap race around a scenic city, and our selection of cars was limited. But even with the few options available, Split/Second was the game they kept going back to.
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.
I'd say that I'm psyched to play this game,but I'm horrible with racing games. So good job, but I'll keep it on the radar
Split/Second definitely looks like a lot of fun, which is something I don't normally say about racing games. But for me personally, it's going to be very hard for any racing game to beat Blur. It just strikes a certain chord with me. I'm keeping an eye on Split/Second, though. Who knows, maybe I'll actually get two racing games this year. And both within a few days of each other!
this game looks really good. lots of good racing games on the horizon.
The only racing game I was ever any good at was Burnout Paradise, and it was really the only one I ever enjoyed. But I have to say, this game is looking very good. The over the top action, explosions, and sweet cars have put this on my radar. I've always enjoyed the exaggerated racing games over the racing sims, so I might pick this up.
