Blur and split second, the truly unappreciated duo that'll never see a sequel or a return

I'll NEVER forgive Disney for shutting down the people who made that amazing game for both racing game fans and action movie fans altogether.

Honestly had no idea the sequel went this deep. With them planning to add boats, helicopters and on foot sections. It would've been interesting to see how it would've all turned out. Great video!

I've played this game since 2010. I was 14, now I'm 27. Whenever I remember the game had a sequel, my heart breaks.

I can totally imagine someone taking the time to try and recreate the studio's final vision on the sequel

Still sad about this the first game was so so good.

Glad to be of help

I remember S/S, Blur, and Modnation all came out about a month before my birthday. I was so hyped for all 3, and got Modnation and Blur for birthday presents, then went to the store the same day to buy Split/Second with birthday money haha. Absolutely loved all 3 of them, but Split Second especially. Played many hours on that game on 2 player split screen with my dad. Very great memories. We were always disappointed that the sequel never came to be. Thanks for the video, brought back some wonderful memories

That Ending scene, goddamm you Disney

Absolutely amazing video, never knew that a sequel for Split Second was being worked on. Really wish they weren't shut down, this game would've been awesome!

RIP Black Rock. Between Split Second and Pure, you were taken from us WAY too soon.

It's been over a decade. No racing game I've played has managed to capture the same energy and excitement that Split/Second did. Absolute shame Black Rock got shut down.

Man I didn’t realize there was this much info on the sequel. This would’ve been such a cool game. Really is a shame we’ll never get a sequel.

an old friend of mine made a video about the footage of the early sequel before it was canned that I voiced over for. when he made the video we had no idea about these story boards and concept arts, it’s amazing that new evidence of the games development has been found! split second has always been my favourite video game ever made since I played it as a young teenager. I’m genuinely saddened that both this game and blur’s sequel met their unfair fate. Incredible video though, seeing all this information is so interesting and was very well executed illustrating what could have been!

Had Split Second 2 happened but with a different studio to help carry on what Blackbox and Disney interactive started, it would’ve been cool to see the story of the rivalry of two companies and how would the sequel/prequel would end and would there be another game in the series

I just checked the patents filed with split/second. A new game like that would be hard to create without Disney' consent, as the power play mechanic and route change mechanic is patented and will expire around 2030.

Split Second is awesome and I’ll never forget the disappointment I felt when I heard the sequel was canceled. But it’s such a bummer that I hardly see anyone talk about Black Rocks other game, Pure. It was an ATV racing game and my god was it amazing. Both Pure and Split Second are by far my favorite racing games from my childhood and there were actually sequels for both games planned until Black Rock shut down. Every single time one of these 2 games pop in my head I feel more disappointment than what should really be possible lmao. I would single handedly pick up where the studio left off and finish the games if I could, I really really wish these sequels saw the light of day :/

I hate when unmatched games don’t get sequels. Smfh this game is legendary.

Still playing split second on series X in 2023 awesome game 👍

This is an incredibly ambitious approach from what the first game offered...maybe a bit too ambitious and possibly straying too far from the original game. Granted, the information we have is likely just the single player campaign mode, which sounds like it could've been a really fun experience. At the same time, I don't think this is what I wanted for a Split/Second sequel over a decade ago, likely to a point where I'd be disappointed if it didn't focus on what I enjoyed about Split/Second: the core arcade racing formula. Either way, it's a pity that the sequel never saw the light of day, and I still wish it did release. But at least Split/Second is still an enjoyable experience today, and still a very accessible game thankfully.

Amazing video! Its so sad that both Split Second 2 and Blur 2 got cancelled. I love sim games like BeamNG and AC, but something new like these two masterpieces is missing nowdays

Split/Second is one of my favorite games and arguably the greatest racing game of all time. Not to mention the amazing soundtrack. So sad we'll never get a sequel. I don't know why it sold so poorly. I feel bad for Blackrock studios, because they made an amazing game and still got shut down.

Hopefully someone decides to try and bring this game back to life and make it happen. Split second is literally my favorite game. Even as a kid. I still play it to this day. Got so good that im top 1% on every track. Even dlc.

Imagine if this turned out to be like one of the best story-driven racing games maybe even with first-person shooter mechanics.

This is such a great video, I'd never heard of this! Excited to see more from you

This franchise needs a revival

I like to believe there's a universe out there where the sequel was made and released to great critical acclaim.

no way you have only 100 subs, your content is very well written and has great audio/visuals, hope the best for you

Bro I just replayed this whole game in May 2024 and it was the best time I’ve had playing a game in a while !

Interesting video. I had seen some of this stuff before, but a lot of it was new. It would have been hard to top Split Second, but I would have loved to see them try. I loved Split Second. Played it through to completion several times and never got tired of it.

We'll never know, test drive is back, and they're working on a midnight club remaster, I Wish the same would happen to driver, blur, split second

2:19 these are the fucking videos I was talking about, and I was gonna include them in the Iceberg videos. He had deleted his channel due to him going through personal stuff but I fucking remember every single detail of those videos.

I already knew a few things shown in this video, but still learnt a few more details. I am so, so sad that this never came to be, as Split/Second is one of my favourite games since I first played it many many years ago… Everytime I play through the game again, the cliffhanger ending makes me sad. But there’s nothing I can do anymore. Thank you for making this interesting video :)

Hey, your content is really nicely made. It's clear you are doing this with passion and I hope you'll keep it up

Wow I had no idea that they would implement 3rd person segments and a story to boot. Would have been a wild ride

Bro really pulled a need for speed heat intro.

basicaly they wanted split second to be more of a racing game, I was thinking what if the on foot sections had gunplay becouse if the rival tv company is trying to kill you, you had to defend yourself somehow

Great video, You're very underrated and deserve much more recognition for the well made videos you make! Split Second is definitely up there with my most favourite racing games of all time, and that's putting it next to legends such as NFS Underground, NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 and Forza Horizon 1.

This is one of the biggest shames that they cancelled S//S. The action, destruction and the levelution were epic in S/S, come on everyone remembers triggering the massive plane to take out the other racers. It's a shame to think what the sequel had in stall for us and what epic gameplay we've missed out on. We can only hope that it gets picked up by another company and developed one day.....Don't give up hope lol

Stop telling me that I will never play the ambitious Split/Second sequel!

Split Second is the Titanfall of racing games

This Game Deserves a sequel

This is just too much i wish i didnt even watch this video it just hurts so much to see what could we have gotten..

I still play split second till this day makes me actually mad they closed the studio down. Honestly, one day, we might see a new split second, hopefully

Goddamn where did you find all of these? I never thought that there were this many scrapped materials of Split/Second 2. KuruHS really needs to see this, this is a really interesting find! Also: 4:22 gave me goosebumps.

That's interesting and sad what happened Split Second is a great game I still have it on PS3 I love it.

Wow now i want to play through Split Second 1 again thanks :D

I would *LOVE* to see a Split/Second sequel on modern consoles, the detailed destruction and carnage on powerful hardware would just look incredible.

I’ll be 27 soon and this game was LEGIT back in the day when I was like 12-14. To this day I’m still pissed at Disney for not making the sequel. This is my favorite racing game of all time, alongside the Motorstorm series. Both of these are so underrated imho.

split second was one of the first games i actually played. i bought it again on my xbox one a few months ago and its a blast (litterally).

5:40 ooooh. Thats some tough competition.

It's an absolute crime that those mickey mousers closed down Blackrock Studios.

I got this game for Christmas back in 2012 or 2013, and I fell in love with it. I really wish the sequel came to light. I also thought of an idea for an animated tv series for this game.

Still playing Split/Second in 2023!

Ironically before Split second was released I remember playing on ps2 when I was like 4ish a game that match the description of Split second 2 mechanics themed to spy doing stuff in a car that became a boat that became a motorbike and running about shooting people. I don't remember the name but I do know it's not a 007 or James bond game (ironically found it a year ago didn't check the name but back if the box was the game )

Curse you Disney, Curse you

I would love to have Split Second make a comeback. It was a refreshing take to arcade racing games.

damn. just remebered old times i played split second & motorstorm apocalypse. wanna play it again

we need the sequel as a Disney+ Series

WHY. WHY DID THIS HAVE TO BE CANCELLED! AREARARGHGH Black Rock Studio was pretty talented, there's not a single thing that was bad in the first Split Second, and the second game could have been a hit.

i want it even more now. :(

I can imagine the helicopter gameplay being machine gunning the enemies and us being taking down. That would’ve been great

i remember i slammed everyone online back in the day. anyways yeah im here, remember me when you make it big

NGL, loves split second, was fun AF. . Could've had more added to it, but I also thing I mights have the most basic copy because it always felt like I was just playing the same maps and never ready going anywhere.

What if the rival TV is actually called Champions Alliance? The name at the top at 4:41 + (presumably) the two letters CS present in the logo seems to suggest that.

these games were interesting because it was basically after we had well lost nfs and burnout in terms of fun, at this time for me I didn't even touch these games and maybe I should

One of the best action driving games, we really need at least a remastered on ps4

I still play this game!

God, this hurts. 💔

THE best racing game I’ve ever played

Im still angry at Publishers never giving this game a chance. And i feel you're pain mates. Maybe im bad drifter. But Elite GT12. Thank you for childhood 11-14 to teenage.

This game was fun but hard as hell to beat sometimes, I remember getting so raged at this game and also they have it on STEAM but I heard it sucks cuz there's no controller support which is very stupid.

I played it once and it was in competition with blur those 2 were really good

God Split Second was such an underrated gem. I would give soo much to get a sequel

I actually played this years ago on my friends console it was spiltscreen,at the time i didnt know i was playing splitsecond😂

DAAAAAMN I LOVED THE FIRST GAME. And by "loved" I mean "L O V E D". Seeing how much have I missed out on because of sequel getting cancelled is hitting me like a truck...

Another build is found, dated a month prior to the november prototype we watched. (remove “/“ between = and ey, also the spaces in link.) https ://youtu. be /VYfHN7ClPSc?si= / eyQf1NLpgiBLophA Note: Please do NOT harass the uploader, don't ask for other builds as they said that they would get a strike from disney.

split/second 疾風伝: a split/second fan game that will combine the Car-Fu mechanics of the Speed racer videogame with the mechanics of split/seconds destruction. Hot wheels will Also be included along with loops and monsters. And some of the tracks would cause unreal things to happen for example in the final race it will be a race across the crumbling Multiverse as someone would struggle to fix it (how bout you tell me some unreal things that could happen in a race!)

Adrenaline was 1 million% in spit second

I actually have the original Split Second on PS3. If I knew then what I know now, this would be my favorite franchise.

*chuckles in motorstorm apocalypse* Jokes aside,ms apocalypse was probably inspired by this and the fact that it has you escape the city at some point(like split second ii as you said) is interesting to me

I can feel the mirrors edge in thise

My heart hurt knowing there will never be a sequel to this

THE NOSTALGIA BRO I USED TO PLAY THIS ON MY PSP

I am sad at the fact that Split second and blur didn't get the sequels they deserved, the games were miss managed, I think maybe a AAA developer like EA or Code masters needs to buy both IP's so they can make Sequels for them, great video man :)

Please the sequel needs to happen i love this game so much Somebody made i petition for split/second 2

We need a remaster I want it on new consoles/devices

I know it’ll never happen, but a remaster or some sort of sequel would be nice :(

I wish they’d release remake versions of Split Second and Blur for newer consoles.

I wish this would come back split second was an amazing fucking game

They remind me of the vegas sections from the run

When I remember Burnout, my favorite series ever, I am sad that we will never get another, but we got multiple fantastic games with different experiences. Split/Second never got that chance

If someone could make split second 2. Hopefully that will be added to game rewards 2023 or 2024. I really hope!!

4:57 haha, even card collection

Having a proper sequel to Split/Second may be a stretch for now given the fact that the developers have closed their doors. BUT we now live in an era where indie development and crowdfunding are on the rise. So maybe perhaps someday the original people behind the development team can finally create the proper sequel to this game if given enough support and backing. Unless the Split/Second IP is already owned by Disney

Blur, Split Second, Motorstorm and of course, WipEout... The games that were made only with pure love. Not like today's games which are complete cashgrab. I really hope someone will revive these games one by one... But I guess one can only dream.

First Club Penguin, then Epic Mickey, now this game too? Why, Disney? Why?

Every arcad-y racers are long gone. Split second, blur, motorstorm... They were all fantastic, only to be replaced by the usual soulless simulators and mario karts.

The Demo was fucking awesome :)

Hooolly imagine this game on ps5
