We Can Totally See Where The Uncharted 2 Comparisons Are Coming From.
Black Rock’s Jason Ried has pitched racer Split/Second up there with the best, telling CVG: “It’s a tough one. [Activision's] Blur is obviously competition – it’s racing and it’s doing things slightly different as well. But we almost feel we’re closer to Call of Duty or Uncharted in what we do than other racing games.”
“Animation-wise, Split/Second is the most ambitious thing that’s ever been done in a racing game. So that is where we come down to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2 comparison – because of these huge set-pieces.”
The game looks properly amazing too, allowing you to blow shit to smithereens as you race. We can’t wait for this game.
Disney Interactive announced last night that Split/Second is coming on May 18th, yo. This is properly amazing news because, well, Split/Second looks amazing.
In not so amazing news, a dumb sub-heading has been stuck on the end of the European title, plonking the word “Velocity” on the end. Worry not though American gamers, you’ll not have to endure the extra word.
Still, the good news is that the game is coming in just over three months! Hurrah.
We’ve been saying for a long time that Disney Interactive’s latest racing title, Split/Second, is going to be properly amazing. Some of you probably chose not to believe us. We think the latest trailer – embedded above – drives home our point.

Disney Interactive’s Split Second has been earning quiet plaudits ever since E3. It continues to impress, with some rather meaty hands-on footage shot off-screen by the folks at VG247. You should probably add this quietly to your wishlist. It looks really rather good.
Coming from the Brighton based development studio behind PURE, there’s a substantial amount of hype behind Black Rock Studio’s action-racing title Split/Second. The game had an impressive E3 showing, surprising many journalists with its quality and cinematic nature.
We take a quick look at the Disney published racing game that set to bring action to the racing genre when it releases early next year.
