Split/Second online lobbies updated, Black Rock surveying for future plans
16
Yesterday, Split/Second developer Black Rock Studios patched its highly volatile racer, adding a feature that's frequently been requested by its loyal players: The ability to filter multiplayer lobbies, only allowing players to drive certain classes of cars. Having solved the "monster trucks vs. high performance Formula One racers" dilemma, the developer turned its eyes towards the future, and recently issued a survey inquiring what players would like to see introduced in future updates and DLC packs.
We'd participate in the survey, but we're not sure Black Rock would appreciate our answers, which would pretty much boil down to "we'd like to see a space ship crash into a nuclear meltdown site which is also an aircraft carrier made of dynamite and fire." That's not too much to ask, is it?

Griffin.. why oh why aren't you developing games?
If you ever decide to, I'd be happy to take up your chapeau et manteaux. I can Joystiqit to the man like no other. (Who's the boss, Chris? That's right, I am! ...What? Well, yeah, [i]technically[/i], but I still kicked your butt at Split/Second!)

Nothing in the survey about rubberbanding which I really wish they would fix. That's probably the least fun part of the game.

@8bitartist that's like saying of these three dishes, this one tastes the least like dog poop. Seriously, rubber-banding makes the game no fun. It sucks to have blown by the pack with perfectly executed driving only to have a car defy the physics setup and pass you 100 feet from the finish line.
