Split Second retrospective (Whitelight video)
- Thread starter Arta
- Start date
Loved this game. Beat it all the way except the time trials. I wish they would have added boost/nitrous for a sequel. That's all I felt the game was missing.
Just tried the demo and didn't enjoy it, the destruction was nice but didn't see any depth or charm to it. Sorry for the devs tho.
My favorite arcade Racing ever.
Completed it all and I'm still ranked 1 online. Just checked yesterday.
Masterpiece with 7 of your friends. Lots of laughs and a wonderful time. The dam level was amazing.

For me, Split Second was was the epitome of what I want from an arcade racer. From the intense action and destruction to the music, everything came together to provide a heart-pounding experience of pure fun. It is among my top 3 arcade racers of all time, along with Road Rash (PC, PS1, 3D0 version) and Motorstorm.
Game was high-octane fun, but the rubber-banding AI was insane and prevented me from beating the game. Still enjoyed the shit out of what I played.
Hands down my favorite arcade racer of the PS3 era. I wish a sequel could happen on modern hardware, hell I'd even settle for a remaster, but with Blackrock gone it'll never happen.
*edit* Looks like there's a PC port on Steam. No online, and locked at 30fps. Probably gonna snag that next time it's on sale.

Great game that sadly began and ended with just 1 game so much potential for bigger and grander set pieces that were such fun and has spectacle.
I actually started playing it through playstation now recently. Even with the terrible lag streaming causes me i had still fun. What says a lot because normally spinning out of control because input lag should not be fun at all.
I also was suprised that there are still people racing online.

I'd say the main difference is that the Power Plays (When stuff explodes) is what you can do yourself by charging your powers, there's 3 levels and some of them are more devastating than others. Motorstorm Apocalypse did whatever it does based on which lap you were on if I remember correctly.
Sounds like something I'd enjoy, thank you. I own it on Xbox, might play it later tonight.
Motostorm: Apocolypse was so hectic, it featured some of the best racing set pieces.
I've bough this game 3 times. Back in my PS3 (so many hours being played), Xbox One X (BC), and on my new high end PC.
It was truly amazing to play it at max settings, both ultrawide, and on my LG CX with HDR and mods enabled. Sadly doesn't have controller support.
The greatest racing game imo. Heck I should even buy a physical copy for it.
The ONLY thing I hate about the game is the Ryback Firestorm is just OP. Too many drifters using the dam car in multiplayer and it was overall just annoying. Went all crazy buy using slower cars especially the challenging GT12 (fastest, yet weakest car) and won lots of races. Felt amazing to beat the drfitie normies!
I also wanna mention that I think there's a small community that is trying to make the sequel of the game. I don't remember too much about it but I think they had a Facebook page or something.
The creator even made mods such as adding the Bugatti Chrion to the game which looked epic.

Yeah, it's sad that arcade racers like Blur, Motorstorm and Split Second didn't do all that well commercially, they're such a blast to play. Let us know how Split Second goes for you! The tutorials explain the key points very well but the handling can take a bit of getting used to at first, but when you get into the game's rythm it is so much fun.
Hopefully one day they'll come back in some fashion.
I'm not into sim or semi arcade racers, but games like Motorstorm and Midnight club were my jam. I'll most likely enjoy Split second, it seems like my cup of tea from what I've read and seen.
I'm sure arcade racers will make a comeback in some fashion, Hotshot Racing is a good sign.
Great fucking game man. Its the only racer from last gen my friends and I would play online on the regular.
It was ok, but Blur, which came out simultaneously, was the goat and the choice of my friend circle.
Still one of my favorite games in the past decade, so many fond memories of playing with my father, last year I tried it on PS Now and it's still magical, I would buy a Remaster ASAP
This game is awesome! I picked it up for a second time for the 360 a few years ago and had a great time playing through it again.
Such a shame it seemingly didn't do well enough to warrant a sequel. I went with Playstation last gen so I don't have an Xbox one, but I understand it's now backwards compatible.

is there any xbox BC magic going on with this title? I played it on PC back in the day and absolutely loved it
Ooh I forgot this existed. I remember it being pretty fun, though I also seem to recall being kind of shit at it and having to retry a lot of races lol
It was a very fun game, it still looks very good today. But last time I tried it there were issues with recognizing my Xbox controller, at least in menus. It's from the early days of when PC games started to get proper controller support, other games such as Splinter Cell Double Agent have similar issues.
I think a similar racer was announced for iOS?
I feel you, especially with this game. But playing Dirt 5 for example on medium difficulty it gets kinda boring finishing most of the races with a 10 second lead for example.
