This kind of racing games is the only one I find fun to play. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22131 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:51:04 +0000 DrDamn 22131@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@daytripper<br /> Where did you get those figures? The not very reliable vgchartz has them both around 800k with S/S slightly ahead. It was madness that they both came out within a week of each other. </p> <p>Split/Second I got on rental for a while, actually worked a lot better than I thought it would have. I also enjoyed what I played of Blur too.</p> <p>Not sure what needs to be done with racers. The more sim end of the market does well (Forza/GT) and anything with NfS in front of it generally sells. Anything else tends to flounder. Something fairly radical is needed but I'm not sure what. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22130 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:42:19 +0000 daytripper 22130@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>damn... </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22129 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:41:04 +0000 ManuOtaku 22129@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Man dont get me wrong for what iam about to say, but is sad to see two developers close because of games that tried to accomplish something a little bit different and with good quality, and games like call of duty keep going with the same approach still doing fine, i wish all the good for the call of duty devs and their fans, i dont want it to be closed neither but in my eyes is quite sad. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22128 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:30:41 +0000 Hunam 22128@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Black Rock Studio's is owned by Disney, who have decided from now own they aren't going to do boxed products.</p> <p>So... doesn't look very likely. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22127 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:19:52 +0000 daytripper 22127@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>sold about 850k worldwide i think, blur was around 300-350k. blur was good too but the devs have been shut down by activision. blur online was great fun, it also had a good online set up and template, it only needed a theatre mode and would of been superb. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22126 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:13:40 +0000 ManuOtaku 22126@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>To tell you the truth i was specting a blur sequel the most, but now my hope is lost i enjoyed blur the most, but i dont mind an split/second sequel neither, i hope they are gonna do it, but i think it did not sold so well, who knows </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4583#post-22125 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:07:15 +0000 daytripper 22125@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>thought the first one had a great template, great graphical engine and look (one of the best looking arcade racers imo), thought it was let down by over the top rubberband a.i, very basic online options, not enough tracks which resulted in a copy &amp; paste model for various modes. </p> <p>hopefully the sequel (if one is planned) will fix these issues and improve, possibly including a theatre mode for online racers. hope to hear what blackrock studios are doing at e3. </p>
