That trailer looked pretty fun. How was Pure? I never played it.

Pure is fucking awesome.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #4 on:** May 29, 2009, 09:58:49 AM »

I'll be following this one. If that is what gameplay looks like, I'm hyped.

Bildi · « **Reply #5 on:** May 29, 2009, 10:07:46 AM »

WOW.

And Blackrock are doing it?

SOLD

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #6 on:** May 29, 2009, 11:50:31 AM »

so will every race be scripted exactly the same? lap 1 > silo crashes, lap 2 > terminal explodes, lap 3 > plane crashes infront of track? that could be cool the first time but would get kinda lame after awhile.

I actually got a bit of Hydro Thunder adventure racing vibe from it.

That could be a lot of fun.

Yeah, it sounds like a great idea for multiplayer.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #15 on:** May 29, 2009, 03:49:55 PM »

but those events will still be pre-canned right? can't imagine they would leave it all to chance of physics.

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:19:50 PM »

so it's like Burnout Kart but instead of gay shells you get GIANT FUCKING AIRPLANES

EXACTLY. It's the timing of your explosions that's important.

Bildi · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2009, 07:31:12 PM »

So you get the ability you get the ability to kill people with an aeroplane and so on? Is that the idea?

If so - most awesome thing ever.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:04:10 AM »

I just watched the "old" trailer for Split Second, and it makes more sense now, with the whole TV show angle. It's pretty damned hot, really.

Yeti · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2009, 10:45:35 AM »

This may be the first "realistic" racing game I ever buy.

gameplay of it

the hud thing is kinda stupid, but the game looks fun

Bildi · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:33:13 AM »

I have to admit, I really like the HUD idea. Games like this sometimes falter because you have to take your eyes off the road to view the HUD in a corner of the screen and then you crash or miss a turn. And the gauge is big enough that you don't have to look directly at it.

I wish they would have shown a first-person view though.

Bildi · « **Reply #25 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:36:12 AM »

WTF at the guy asking "is this out now?" SMH, what a goose.

that's my concern. I sorta get why they have the HUD like that (even if I still think it's a bit dumb) but how will it look in first person? I always play in first person, and if I don't, I look at the road ahead, not the bumper of my car.

Yeah, I'm kind of baffled that they're going out of their way to make games that aren't tied into their existing Disney characters, worlds, or other IP. I mean, Pure could just have easily come out as Toon Town Karts: Big Air or whatever. It's stunning that they're taking this angle while Nintendo puts Mario in everything they can cram him into. Mario: plumber and TENNIS PRO.

I too hope they can figure out something that works and looks OK in first person, as I use it all the time as well. I do find that in Burnout I'm forced to play third person so I can see what is happening to cars next to me that I'm barging so maybe I'll have to play third person anyway in this.

I hope not though, it seems it's more about using the weapons than running into others.

I watched the developers live demo it on G4. Looked really good.

cool breeze · « **Reply #39 on:** June 07, 2009, 08:53:02 PM »

I was talking about this game earlier with a friend and he pointed out that the HUD is basically an extension of the car and also helps show the angle when in the air or drifting. That's actually pretty smart. I take back what I said about it being stupid.

It's crazy hard to tune wheel controllers into racers designed around the controller.

Buh. Anything pre-launch is to be forgiven for framerate issues. Showing off a game to the general public is like one of those dreams where you show up for class but forgot to wear pants.

It looks fun, but it still seems missing something that Burnout had. I think it's the car damage it might be the lack of extensive car damage with pieces flying everywhere.

I liked Pure though so will give them the benefit of doubt that it will be a good burnout replacement.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #49 on:** January 23, 2010, 08:00:41 PM »

I suppose it might not work with the whole roadside hazard thing, but I do wish there were some more airy environments, like mountain or lakeside tracks. That's like the one thing Pure did well.

After trying to play Burnout with a wheel...I have no enthusiasm for even trying this type of game with a wheel. The sensitivity is completely different. You'd have to be wrenching the wheel back and forth like crazy - it'd get destroyed. That sort of thing is fun in an arcade cab though.

Riiiiiight....

I'll probably end up getting both, but so far I'm not liking how random the power plays are in Split Second. You have no idea where they're gonna come from and it doesn't look like there's anyway to leave traps for people behind you. It also looks kinda slow...

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #59 on:** March 11, 2010, 02:37:23 PM »

I'm still very much interested to play Split Second but I also like blur now. I think its possible to like both of them. Now that I understand what Blur is I also feel more solid about it. I still need to play Split Second to reach that same comfort level.
