Split/Second Team Say It's The Modern Warfare Of Racing Titles

Black Rock’s Jason Ried has described his studio's upcoming Split/Second title as the Modern Warfare 2, or Uncharted 2 of racing games:

"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.”

Bold worlds. We'll see when the game releases on May 21st on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
