Gametrailers.com - Split/Second - Exclusive Debut Trailer
March 11, 2009 - BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Racing to the finish line takes on added excitement when competitors trigger destruction on the track to take out their opponents. Disney Interactive Studios today announced Split/Second, an intense action racing game set within the world of a hyper-competitive reality television show. Competitors vie to be the first across the finish line in a made-for-TV city built for destruction, with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion. Developed by Black Rock Studio, Split/Second is scheduled to be released in early 2010 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Windows-based PC.

Competitors in Split/Second don't just collide with other vehicles to knock them from the track -- they can also trigger explosive events that drastically alter the dynamics of the race. Players must use strategy and pinpoint timing to derail opponents, tactically alter the track or create entirely new routes.

"Split/Second elevates action racing to a new level by enabling players to strategically take out their opponents by dynamically altering the course in real time," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "Split/Second further showcases Black Rock Studio's ability to innovate and deliver a compelling experience that has wide appeal beyond the traditional racing genre."

"We're creating huge memorable moments on par with the biggest blockbuster action films," said Nick Baynes, game director, Black Rock Studio. "Action racing has captured the imagination of video game fans worldwide and we're going to redefine that experience with Split/Second."

Black Rock Studio is the development studio behind the critically acclaimed 2008 action sports game, PURE. PURE won numerous awards, including the Game Critics Award for Best Racing Game of E3 2008, and was named among the top 10 video games of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. Formerly Climax Racing, Black Rock Studio is a development studio of Disney Interactive Studios and is based in Brighton, England.

IGN: Split Second Announced
 
Man if this is anything near the gameplay video then I'm all game for it. Just had a look & I'm impressed. But the release date is way too far. :(
 
thts a complete rip off of the jason statham deathrace...

i liked the racing sequences and the modded mustang in the movie...

but i wonder how they ll pull off all tht in the game..

looks great ..hope the gameplay is good too.
 
i dont think this was pre-rendered CGI, after playing GRID on my PC this is likely proper gameplay although on very high end hardware (very nice smoke/dust/water effects) it looked similar to GRID with better effects...

The water sequence made me doubt that was gameplay footage.

That looks horrible for a purely CGI trailer.

It would have been good if it were gameplay.

Dude, why put down everything. There is such a thing as a budget, no developer will splurge everything on a trailer.

Or do you prefer the Codemasters way. Make initial screenshots for DiRT look so damn real that it didn't matter anymore that the game sucked balls.

The water effect is almost unbelievable. I looked at the trailer for like 10 times now & it clearly looks like a CGI made trailer. There is no presence of any HUD either. It felt like an intro-cut scene of the game which is always rendered. But then again it looks really promising. If they deliver anything close to it, then it's pretty cutting edge.
