Jasper Kashap writes: "Veteran racing game developers, Black Rock Studio, made a real name for themselves with their quad bike arcade racer Pure in 2008 and have now returned with Split Second: Velocity, a game that, on the surface, looks set to satisfy those left hankering for a spiritual successor to the action orientated Burnout series since Criterion’s recent shift over to EA’s Need for Speed franchise.
Without a doubt, Split Second has more style than substance. Luckily, there’s a lot of style on offer. For the price of admission you’re treated to a high octane, knife edge arcade racer packed with several hours of explosive entertainment. Those looking to scratch the surface and strip away the paintwork may find themselves looking for a new model fairly soon however."
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...
