sony said they'll start updating on wednesday. i hope it's the 5th then.The Faceless Master said:hrm, may 5th is a wednesday and may 11th is a tuesday...
well, there's nothing blowing up on the track in Forza/GTsinseers said:So what is this game (and Blur for that matter) doing that Forza and GT5P is not that makes it that the framerate has to be 30fps? Maybe Daytona, SuperGT and Sega Rally ahve spoiled me but I can only imagine what an eyegasm I would have with this puppy screamin at 60. That's all........I have vented. I have accepted Split Second at 30fps now : {.

This is a good game, but it's no Burnout.The Faceless Master said:anyway, if you think Burnout went downhill after 2, try this demo out NOW!
Guess I'll be waiting till May 5th to try this. Game looks pretty good.ram said:erghh...
Deepack said:Demo is coming to the PS3 11th of may.
Pure was a decent PS3 port, no significant differences.
Still exclusive demo's make no sense from a bussiness perspective at all (to me).
sinseers said:Speaking of framerate, what is it.....30 or 60fps?
mescalineeyes said:ok so since some of you asked, these are my initial impressions
liked:
+the graphics are rather nice yup
+ the HUD yup
+ the shaky cam + all the post processing sucks + yup
did not like:
- not a dealbreaker, but the resolution looks like MW2 -- not sure if my eyes are fucking with me or not, but it's either no AA or sub-HD (it's still a rather pretty game though!) yup looks a bit low res
- it's really boring, there's not much going on save the odd power-plays nope
- the car feels slow and cumbersome and is not very fun to drive nope
- the Tier 1 powerplays are not very satisfying, and technically, neither are the Tier 2 ones as you hardly ever see them play out Nope
- the soundtrack. good god, why? dunno
I was pretty stoked for this game, but based on the demo this isn't even a rental.
Also, I liked (didn't love) Pure, I was always more of a Motorstorm kinda guy.
It was already mentioned twice in the first page. It's 30KennyLinder said:Want to know too. I am guessing 30fps..
End demo sell screen: 12 Tracks (Matched the menu that was shown at PAXEast), and 72 areas total.slewis7 said:I am really enjoying this demo. The controls are quite good and the track and racing is very exciting. My only questions are whether there will be enough content to justify this as a full price purchase and how the PS3 version will compare. I believe there are only 6 tracks in the full game.
Correction: according to the gamerzine split second PDF, there are 5 track areas on the map.

- Power plays are pretty useless to those who are in the lead or far behind the other racers.
- the Tier 1 powerplays are not very satisfying, and technically, neither are the Tier 2 ones as you hardly ever see them play out

Also of note (I do this at every other chance I get).Dead Man Typing said:Nah, without a singleplayer Blur demo, or a multiplayer Split/Second demo, it's still hard to judge the better game for me.
I'd love to buy both, but that can't happen I'm afraid. I'm still playing Forza 3 too.

RobbieNick said:So, I put in a 48 hours code to get this demo. It accepts it, and tell me to sign out and sign back in to make it work. I do that, and it's still Silver!! FFFFUUUUUUUU!!!
Marrshu said:At any rate, I'm definitively going to consider buying this one. After watching a giant airplane crash and take out the entire racing team, I was hook. :lol

I'll have to play it a little more, but I think Split/Second is a little more technical than what the trailers would have people believe. I don't think it's a turd sandwich. It's just not the sandwich you were expecting.LocoMrPollock said:Kinda surprised no one is talking about the lackluster sound effects and quality.
Anyway, kind of hard to judge the game as a whole from this demo, but if it is indicative of the entire game, then it's a turd sandwich.
Graphics are about average for 360 racing games at this point, but it's way too slow and boring for something that is supposed to induce adrenaline and get your heart pumping.
I really doubt they will have an online component similar to or as awesome as Blur, so my money is on Blur.

LQX said:Awesome fucking game. Its kind of like Mario Kart and Need for Speed 2: Hot Pursuit(my favorite racer ever) meshed. I like it much better than the Blur demo. I wish it was coming for PC also though as the graphics look like they would be amazing on good PC.
