Gaming Union: "Racing games aren't synonymous with Disney Interactive Studios, but they are becoming more common place following the acquisition of Black Rock Studios in 2006. As well as purchasing new studios, there has been a real focus on creating new IPs within Disney, and the latest one, Split/Second, looks like it could be the real deal.
Gaming Union recently had a chance to spend some extensive time with the game in a single-player race against numerous AI opponents. It enabled us to see what the hype is all about and it also enabled us to blow a ton of stuff up."
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.
Tried this on the day, it's quite satisfying to play.
