Looks great, can't wait to try it out. I used to be skeptical about arcady racers but this game looks like I could convert me.

I played this at PAX. The driving itself is way more strict than it is in Blur, so you can't just hold down the right trigger the whole time, but I consider that to be a good thing (and I love Blur.)
Great game. Can't wait to put some time in on it.

Demo was ok, nothing great IMO.

Nice, I've been looking forward to this since E3 last year. Blur is fun for a little while but lets be honest, its practically a skinned Mario Kart.

For those of us with young children who won't buy a Wii, a re-skinned Mario Kart is exactly what I want.

Looks like I'll be picking this up used at Gamestop for PS3 then.

"One in 253 race car drivers meets their maker like that every year, you know".
But on Playstation 1 out of 256 race car drives meet their maker like this. And ONLY on Playstation.
Can't wait for the game. I'll admit I bit on Gamestops pre-order so I can get the cool little car along with the game.

I have been ruined for all other racers by the amazing loving of Burnout Paradise, but this looks really promising.

This demo has a serious case of the teal-and-orange.

Sweet, I've been waiting for this one!

The demo is not multiplayer? I think they should have included that in so that a better comparision between it and Blur can be made.
Most of the time, people only play the offline game to get money to buy cars of a higher class or become eligible for higher class cars, to then race them online.
I gotta say, Blur has been the most fun online I've had in a racing game since PGR2 and Burnout: Revenge. However, I'll see how this ranks after I get home today.

But is the demo multiplayer?

As of right now, Split/Second seems more interesting to me than Blur. I don't know why, but it is.

Alright!!! A reason to turn on my 360. I'm kind of interested in this game.

Why do PS3 owners always get sloppy seconds? Dammit. My gf and now this....
Posted: Apr 26th 2010 5:59PM PlatinumSkeet said
Dang even after Sony pushing the update to Tuesday PS3 owners still don't catch a break...
I guess that's why it's better to own both than just one. The rare times I do miss out on a console exclusive is for Wii and it's because I don't feel like unpacking it...

i tried both blur and split...it's leanin split/second

Wouldn't it be great if we could have the powerups from Blur AND the environmental destruction from this in the same game?

This demo is great!!!!

Mhmm ... kinda expected more from this. It's fun, but not as much as I thought^^ And it RROD'ed my brother's 360 on the first startup while we were in partychat -.-

i had this on pre-order and cancelled after playing the demo. the sense of speed failed to come close to that of Burnout Revenge, my favorite racer and still fastest feeling game to date (that i have played). Am i just jaded by BR or is anyone else feeling that Split Second fails to give a good sense of speed?
Posted: Apr 28th 2010 6:18PM WiredKnight said
I think you're jumping to conclusions. The demo only lets you use one car, there are bound to be faster ones.

That's funny.
I thought NYC was the only American city where the drivers had to deal with random explosions and collapses.

I'm looking forward to trying this one. It doesn't look as cool as Burnout Revenge but it's got to be better than Burnout Paradise.
