Blur vs. Split/Second. It's time you learned the difference

GamesRadar writes: As the unofficial racing game specialist on GamesRadar US, I'm pretty sick of people confusing two of the biggest games of May just because they both happen to involve vehicles behaving dangerously. Instead, we should be applauding the developers behind Pure and Project Gotham Racing for actually thinking beyond the realism and licensed hype of recent racing titles. Both Bizarre and Black Rock are finally pissing a little adrenaline into a genre that desperatelyy needed a next-gen showcase for over-the-top vehicular mayhem.

BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME! Having played both significantly, I can assure you they're both headed for greatness in May, but for completely different reasons. Luckily, we've received two new videos today that highlight the differences.

Split Second looks more action packed.

NateNater5525d ago

Yea if I had to choose between one or the other it would definitely be Split/Second. However, they both look like quality titles.

kissmeimgreek5525d ago

Split/ Seond for me. It just looks nonstop insane.

I hope Activ. doesnt turn Blur in to a yearly franchise... They've already Ruined Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, and COD. I personlally cant bring myself to buy an activision product again so i will be passing on Blur.

NateNater5525d ago

If Blur sells well, you can be certain that Activision will turn it into a yearly franchise and ruin everything...again.

kissmeimgreek5525d ago

Hom many ruined franchises does it take till activision realizes people arent as stupid as they think. Theyll catch on after 5 of the same games (GH and Tony Hawk sales have gotten terrible).

Blaze9295525d ago

Getting both games sooooooo don't really care.

IF i had to choose one though it'd be Blur. I played Split/Second...it's not that hot. Blur however, MAN I am still enjoying that multiplayer demo!

NateNater5524d ago

Is the Blur demo available on PS3? Because I don't think I've seen it but maybe I missed it.

RockmanII75525d ago

blur because I enjoyed the demo

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC472d ago (Edited 472d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga472d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics472d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend471d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long472d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons472d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor472d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52471d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602471d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor472d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B471d ago (Edited 471d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EVERY Blur Game Ever

Whilst it’s rather disappointing that there are no new Blur games on the way, we can still look back at the series and reminisce.

there was more than one? man i must have really checked out after the first one.... or my lack of interest is showing. that game was..... not great.

Skuletor1855d ago

"there was more than one?" This is exactly what I just thought too. I just remember the one on PS360 and PC. The game was fun but I didn't play it much tbh

IRetrouk1855d ago

Wanted to love this game so much, but just couldn't, it was the cars handling more than anything else, why they couldn't have kept or remade the pgr handling model is anyone's guess.

JonTheGod1854d ago

2 mobile variants and a cancelled sequel do not a franchise make.

Gunstar751854d ago

Blur was a great game. Such a shame Bizaree Creations went bust.

Azraeia1854d ago

Tbf didn't know there was more than one. But looking at the other games in this list no wonder the series died after the first major title. Racing is an awkward series to compete in imo. You can't really go down the simulation route cause games like Forza have got that covered and if you want arcade smash up style racing then just play the old NFS or Burnout.

Nine Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 Cult Classics That Deserve An HD Release

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

Blurs servers were the main issue but would love to see it return.

AZRoboto2888d ago

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

TheDCD2888d ago

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.

Relientk772888d ago

Remember Me
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Miss_Weeboo2888d ago

Alan Wake
Lost Odyssey
Demon Souls

TheDCD2887d ago

As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.

PhoenixUp2887d ago

Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
