NXT Gamer's Synonymble gives his opinions on the new racer from Blackrock Studios, Split/Second Velocity.
"So it turns out there are other games out this week. Who knew? Despite a certain shootin’, gamblin’, horse-ridin’ son-of-a-gun marauding all over your friend’s consoles, three new IP’s are being released upon the world; Modnation Racers, Blur and Split/Second: Velocity. Three driving games, each with interesting tweaks and hooks on the genre. So which deserves your money? Well maybe take a moment to see if Split/Second: Velocity is the one for you."
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.
...Blur it is then.
Do not listen to this review. This game is alot of fun, and is the most intense and exciting racing game i have ever played. Blur is also quite good, but Split Second is deffinetly better. 6.5 is way to harsh.
I totally agree that this game deserves a better score. It is a solid 8.0-8.5 score range. I can't wait to see what a sequel will bring to the series. There is A LOT they can do to make this series have a staying power such as a Burnout.
OT: like the first dude said,Blur it is then.
Off topic: N4G IS KILLZOWNED!
The reviewer must have sucked at this game. I have been playing the game since Tuesday. It is so much fun. The racing is amazing, the cars control well, and the destruction is fantastic. If you want a proper review of Split/Second visit:
