"launch across Europe on March 26th 2010"

WOW... another game for March.

I'm curious about this game.

IaMs125943d ago

Me too, im kinda looking forward to it. Seems to have great potential. More of a sleeper hit.

bruddahmanmatt5943d ago

Agreed on the sleeper hit. As a PS3 owner I can honestly say that GT5 and ModNation Racers are at the top of my list as far as racers for 2010 are concerned. And with Need for Speed still on a "demo first" basis for me ever since Pro-Street, Criterion taking a break from Burnout to help with the latest NFS and nothing being said about a new Midnight Club for 2010, I may end up picking this one up after all.

Blaze9295943d ago

This is the team behind Pure? I was excited until I read that. I'll still probably get this game but MAN Pure's difficulty got hard as HELL in the later races. Was freaking unbelievable.

bruddahmanmatt5943d ago

I should also add that one thing which I find VERY cool about this game, is the Dead Space style heads up display. If you've watched any gameplay videos you'll notice that the HUD is concentrated at the bottom of your vehicle's rear valance and just under the car. In other words, out of the way and not scattered about so that the majority of the screen remains uncluttered. One thing with fast arcade racers is that you want to be able to see as much of what's going on in front of you as possible so that you can react quickly during races. I like this.

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

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

AZRoboto3207d 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

TheDCD3207d 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.

Relientk773207d ago

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

Miss_Weeboo3207d ago

Alan Wake
Lost Odyssey
Demon Souls

TheDCD3206d ago

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

PhoenixUp3206d ago

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

Man I loved Split Second... I wonder why it never got a sequel?

Nekroo913889d ago

Didn't sold enough copies, the studio was reduced, etc. You know how things work.

barb_wire3889d ago

Disney shut the studio down. Damn shame too, awesome game.

Roccetarius3889d ago

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.

Paytaa3889d ago

Split/Second and Blur were the two most under rated racers last gen. They were great games and wish there were potential sequels.

Roccetarius3889d ago (Edited 3889d ago )

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.

Rookie_Monster3889d ago

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.
