Blur has a "sequel", called *Blur Overdrive* for Mobiles back in 2014, and Split/Second had a Flash game on the ESPN website of all things. The closest "real" Split/Second we'll have is Ridge Racer Unbounded, but instead of "shells" it's "power stars". ModNation Racers also has a similar mechanic to S/S, but it's a Kart Racer first.
Why? Disney Interactive had lost $800 MILLION by that point. It's not like they had much choice in the matter by that point. Plus with the pivot to mobile instead of console/PC all their studios were on the chopping block.
Plus the fact it competed against *4 popular games at the same week of its release* (including Blur), and 2010 was a banger for racing (Gran Turismo 5, Modnation Racers, Hot Pursuit 2010, etc.), Split/Second had no chance...
Phenomenal video! Its criminal how poorly this game did sales wise, its such a gem. Sadly, in recent time most of the racing game market is flooded with sim racers, with arcade racers forced to the backseat. I hope that someday there will be a resurgence for arcade racers.
I still can't believe more people didn't play this game. It was a blast to play and I actually got all 1000 gamerscore on it. I played it so much. Total fail by the gaming community. I could only imagine how amazing a sequel would've been. It could've been next level kind of stuff.
Nostalgia got the best of me and i was crying through this video... So many great memories of lan parties. Persons chanting "CALL THE BOAT!!!!!!!" Favorite comment ever was "Wait.... is that a plane? That's a f*cking PLANE!!!!!!!" before the majority of the lobby got wiped.
I'm back again to watch this video, and i have to admit, I'm sad no one really touches on the visual representation of progression in this game through decals. Each Sticker on the vehicle marks an accomplishment, both on and offline. My favorite is giant slayer, winning a race as the lowest rated racer in a lobby. Gives me goosebumps every time.
I can see people doing this in real life and broadcast this only on disney+ And i love th soundtrack. It is so familiar to motorstorm apocalypse in a way
First played this as a demo and fell in love with it. I bought it for PS3 and still have it! Split/Second, Ridge Racer R4, and Wipeout XL are top three all time racers for me.
Great video my friend. The same company made another racing game a few years before this, it was called Pure and it was just as fun as this game. Wish more people were into these games because they were phenomenal! Both Pure and Split Second were getting sequels when the studio shut down, which is a bummer I still haven’t gotten over to this day. If I ever get the money, you can bet I’ll be buying the rights and creating the sequels myself lmao
I'm with you! This is still my all-time fav racing game ever! Everyone I show it to nowadays is like "WHAT is that game!??? 👀" I sadly played it on pc back when it first came out - and yes even with using keyboard controls I still had so much fun with this game! Such a shame the rights haven't been picked up for a sequal. It blows my mind nobody's even tried to attempt imitating this!
wow...somebody else knows of the magnitude of this game...ive been an arcade racer head forever, this game stands with ridge racer type 4, outrun 2006, sega rally imo.
I remember playing the demo for this game as it came in an Xbox Magazine issue i bought. Hands down my favorite demo ever played. Now i was able to get it and it was quite an experience. Definitely this game deserved way better
Oh, I've played this game. I've played it more times than I've hugged my own mother. It had been in the back of my mind since I saw the commercial for it back in 2010, and when I finally got it 6 years later (finally got that 360 set up), you COULD NOT peel me away from it. I even got to beat it twice thanks to my Xbox wiping all my save files for no reason (still won't forgive it for however it did that)! I've played a lot of racing games in my lifetime, but none were as spectacular, as explosive, as thrilling to the max as Split/Second.
Loved the concept, loved the music, loved the graphics… But the difficulty killed this game for me. Still wish someone makes an spiritual successor of Split/Second someday.
Yeah, the AI for this game after episode 3 or so, just kills the fun factor after awhile. I mean don't get me wrong the entire game is a blast all the way through, but the AI learning from how you play and how much you win, it gets way to aggressive and ruins it to some degree. Also, sorry for being a year late on this one lol
literally me while watching this video: OH SHIT I TOTALLY PLAYED THIS GAME AND I TOTALLY REMEMBER ALL OF THESE LEVELS AND OMG *WHY* DON'T WE HAVE FIVE SEQUELS ALREADY?!
Dude when u said that Disney has something to do with the game I was about to forget about it and not download it but I think they have nothing to do with the development of the game
i'm not a fan of racing games i just did forza motorsport , forza horizon and the dirt franchise so should i buy this game i played the games cars 2 and cars 3 driven to winn who used the same system

Happy to see that i'm not the only one hoping that this and blur get a sequel 👌
🙌
@@TraxionGG dont miss on FUEL the game! :D one of the best games ever!!

I'll NEVER forgive Disney for shutting down the people who made that amazing game meant for racing game fans who are also action movie fanatics.

Traxion: "I need you to make a video about Split/Second"
Rich: "HHHHNNNNNGGGGGGG... Sorry gents just got to change my underwear"

This and Blur slap
Agreed!
This game was my childhood back on the Xbox 360
I can see people doing this in real life and broadcast this only on disney+
And i love th soundtrack. It is so familiar to motorstorm apocalypse in a way

Split Second is arguably the best arcade racing game ever made bar none!
🙌🏼
Like RIDGE RACER BUT MORE EXPLOSIVE
Great video my friend. The same company made another racing game a few years before this, it was called Pure and it was just as fun as this game.

Love this game, play it nonstop.
I'm with you! This is still my all-time fav racing game ever! Everyone I show it to nowadays is like "WHAT is that game!??? 👀" I sadly played it on pc back when it first came out - and yes even with using keyboard controls I still had so much fun with this game!

Bro this video is better than any trailer, now I really want to play this. It's like Mission Impossible meets Fast n Furious. This game looks nuts!
Very nice video,
Although I’m surprised you didn’t ramble on the elite race soundtrack because my god it’s amazing
wow...somebody else knows of the magnitude of this game...ive been an arcade racer head forever, this game stands with ridge racer type 4, outrun 2006, sega rally imo.

I still play this as well. It never gets old.
Did you know, some people have described split/second as the Michael Bay Racing game
modern remake of this is f1 2020 open lobbies. great vid rich never knew this game and i can see i missed allot
F1 2020 open lobbies and GTA Online public races lmao
Oh, I've played this game. I've played it more times than I've hugged my own mother.

To my surprise, someone else besides me knows the game, AWESOME.
I love it ,greetings from north Germany
Such an epic experience. Especially on the first playthrough!
My favourite racing game
Never bought the game, but i played the hell out of the PS3 demo.
This is my WipEout!
Loved the concept, loved the music, loved the graphics… But the difficulty killed this game for me.
Still wish someone makes an spiritual successor of Split/Second someday.
SPLIT SECOND EXTREME could be a great title

Split Second was making "Train Go Boom" memes well before Black Ops 3 :P
Train go boom? Pointed by The Act Man?
Wrong game; that's WWll.
doesn't have to be just on 360 though. if ye have an Xbox One or Xbox Series, ya can still get it on the Xbox LIVE marketplace.
Childhood memory bought it and im on the last season, won all the races 1st place lol having so much fun
I'm so gonna get this game, regardless which year were living in now ❤
My favorite part is how *GIANT ICONS BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE ROAD* ... my god who thought thats a neat idea?
incredible work
The game is back compat on XO/XSX
"You've never played"
And that's where you're wrong, kiddo
I've actually played Split/Second. You can no longer tell me I've never played it, even if the TH-cam algorithm recommends me this video.
wth only 700 views?!!!! well at least you gained 2 more ones from me a like and a subscribe I hope you will gain more !
Thanks very much!
This game saved my ps3 besides midnight club la but still i think it’s one of the bangers on ps3 and Xbox 369
Sounds like a kinky xbox version you have there ;-)
I'll be real, I think they need to bring the game back and touch up the pc port
Cool
Hi sprax
more like the best arcade racer what i own both on PS3 and PSP
Dude when u said that Disney has something to do with the game I was about to forget about it and not download it but I think they have nothing to do with the development of the game
i'm not a fan of racing games
i just did forza motorsport , forza horizon and the dirt franchise so should i buy this game
i played the games cars 2 and cars 3 driven to winn who used the same system
me who has played and still plays it: :D
I can't play burnout or blur after this game. It's just disappointing.
No it isn't
I wish that Three Field Entertainment would get the rights to it as they are mostly made up of the original Burnout staff.
Ps5 will welcome this
Online pc works
That's wierd. Me and my freand thought this was boring. Don't know why.
We instead continue playing Forza Motorsport 3 and Halo.
