In 2010, Disney Interactive along with Black Rock Studios brought out one of the best action racing games ever made called Split Second. It became a highly rated video game, yet with its cliff-hanger ending, never saw a second game. Today I am going to find out why.

EA: Whose ready for a dicking?
Take into account that RDR was released at the same day/date. So, ofc course a game by Rockstar would take away quite a lot of attention from Split Second.
Ayyy coaster enthusiasts watch him too!
UniversalTuber game was fun but very very niche
@@DevinEMILE "niche"?
Split Second was legitimately one of the coolest games I've ever played and a sequel getting cancelled just breaks my heart.
Arguably one of the most underrated games from the 360/PS3 era. Split Second was one of my favorite games from that generation.
Oh, and if you have an Xbox One, this game is backwards compatible and online is still a thing. PS3 owners don't have that luxury, unfortunately.
Huh? Online is still functional for the PS3 version also.
I had the preorder bonus from game stop.
fr tho this was my game back in the day they need to bring it back
@@wiggerman I was referring to the backwards compatibility. My bad
@@707Tyree Microsoft gave it away for free with Games With Gold in February of 2017. That's the best we're going to get, at this point...
Split second was really good. Glad your now doing cancelled video games apart of the cancelled series
In that period, there were two racers I liked: Split/Second for its gameplay, and Ridge Racer: Unbounded for it's gorgeous game engine and customizability
Split/Second is my fav racing title hands down. I got the game a few days ago off Amazon 😊
Split second was my fav racing game. I finished all the episodes and i saw the ending....So after i finished it, Im was waiting split second 2 but it taked me too long to wait. So i tried to search it on youtube then i saw this video that split second was cancelled....Im was very sad because...i really wanna continue split second. But it was cancelled...😯😯😯
Really an underappreciated game. This game was probably thrown in the back because rockstar realesed red dead..
Motorstorm : *exist*
Burnout : *exist*
Split second : HOLD MY BEER
Split Second by far is my fav racing title 😊 Although Burnout 3 Takedown is up there too
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan OH MY GOD, Burnout 3 TAKEDOWN, you're playing with my emotions there, this was one of my most beloved racing game ever along with "NEED OF SPEED : Most Wanted (2005)" and "Split Second"

One of the saddest moments of my gaming career was the cliffhanger ending in this game and then never getting a sequel. It's a shame this game didn't sell well, because in my opinion, Split/Second is the greatest racing game of all time. Here are a few reasons: it was something fresh. It didn't feel like something we've played before, eventhough it was a simple concept. The survival mode was absolutely exhilarating, especially when playing local co-op. Most of the fun I had with this game was playing locally with friends/family. The graphics were 5 years ahead of its time. Absolutely gorgeous visuals. And the soundtrack.. I repeat, THE SOUNDTRACK! To this day I still believe Split/Second arguably has the greatest OST of all time. The theme for the elite races was especially captivating. I'm almost shedding a tear after remembering this amazing game will never get a sequel, but at least we have this hidden gem to fallback on and remember the good times. This game really did deserve better. So did Blackrock studios and the amazing team that made this game.
I’m of the same opinion. When I finished the game and found out the sequel had been canceled, I couldn’t stop crying. You might think I was overreacting, but I really wasn’t. I found it on UA-cam when I was around 6 or 7 years old, maybe even younger, and instantly fell in love with it. I put it in my Christmas wishlist, somehow got it, and started grinding in my dad’s PS3. Easily the greatest racer of all time IMO.
i liked the game but the difficulty man, what is that, the AI Rubberband is just something else, the soundtrack is very epic, NFS The Run also has a nice OST
Definitely one of the most underrated racing game of all time.
Just more evidence that Disney ruins everything good.
They had money issue though so if they did make a sequel it would mean bankruptcy to disney which means no more great games in the future also no mafia 3(shit but still get fixed)
Can't complain about the MCU 👍
@@Oldskool4Life Just wait until they get up to speed with the most recent comics
Did you look at the video dick head? did you not see the part where it said the studio lost 800 million dollars.
@CAS stfu
This is the closest video we’ll ever get to Bright Sun Gaming again...
But seriously I loved this video it was amazing
Why have I never heard of this game until now? Also in regards to that concept art for the sequel perhaps it was actually going to be a Prequel to the first game since it shows a very 70's/80's inspired backdrop to the race. After all in the ending cutscene to Split Second, when the enemy faction makes it's entrance, you hear the announcer say and I quote, "But they got taken off air in '82!".
That’s what I’m thinking too!
Dude, go get it. It's a hidden gem of the last console generation. I'd recommend against getting the PC version though: It ended up being a fairly sub-par port with some significant technical problems, which obviously never got patched.
Rail Racer Everything makes sense now.
in GameFAQS someone says:Yes there is going to be a sequel, probably based on those guys being the bad guys. But all it says in the story is that they were a rival t.v. company that split second put out of business, and somehow they are back for revenge.
@@BrightSunFilms You forgot Split second on PSP in this video!
Wasn't there rivalry with the game coming out the same week as Activision's Blur as well? Which is a very similar game.
Apparently, yes.
This rivalry was eventually turned into a huge dumpster fire
And both are really underrated sadly
@@dvdbox360
Not only we had Split/Second and Blur compeatimg for sales, but Namco and Evolution Studios stepped in with their games, Namco had Ridge Racer: Unbounded, and Evolution Studios had MotorStorm Apocalypse, both racing games, but one game was called Split/Second 2 by fans.....
That was MotorStorm Apocalypse, the unofficial sequel to Split/Second
Blur isn't going to be as good as Split/Second. End. Of. Story.
@@ChaseMC215 their own fun in their own way
Jake, why you gotta hurt me this way? I love Split/Second. Wish the sequel could have happened.
Are you playing SS in 2019 on ps3?
brockdbrizz people still are online for ps3 for this game
A lot I’ve learned from Jake is that Disney is trash... they only care about their bottom line and the big wigs pockets being nice and full. Screw the little guys... pay the big wigs: sad business practices.
@@DD-ub7sj Then why are they spending so much of it on nonproductive people?
@@DD-ub7sj Nonproductive to customers, who should provide the lifeblood of a company (money).
@@DD-ub7sj except Disney is much more cutthroat about their business.
Well, a game has to cover its cost for the next sequel

Split Second was a huge hit in my family. We played the demo endlessly on our first Xbox360, and bought the full game for our last. My dad played it almost as much as MarioKart64, almost. The concept, the graphics and the game-play was all amazing. I never knew a sequel was ever planned. Thanks for the video! Love your work!
Me too... it was weird to see my dad actually enjoying to play Split/Second with me. I never even knew there was a sequel being planned, and when I knew about it I got really sad.
that was my father too back then it was the game we played the most at over 700 hours
It really is a shame to see one of the most innovative titles in the racing genre to have been canned by Disney so quickly, simply because of money. There's a petition up to try and get the sequel created, but all we can do now is hope that someone picks the IP up and finally gives us what we've been waiting for.
An 80s themed racing game with 80s styled Vehicles will be amazing, It doesen't even need a licenced Soundtrack (allow the UA-cam Let's play and Streaming community enjoy the whole experience) to be good.
We can try!
How would somebody go about picking up the ip?
yo viceroy, wasn’t expecting to see you here
I actually beta tested split second at black rock studios in Brighton, we even got given our own copy when the game came out. It was really fun but it sucked when they closed down.
hi im in brighton , can i borrow that copy off you ?
Really? How was it at their studio? I'd imagine the team must've been very dedicated to the game and to the consumer until they got shit down
@@NOT_SURE.. really? wow that’s kinda disrespectful ngl
I'm not surprised. Disney must pay. They took away a game that had a lot of potential and replaced it with items made for profit.
I still play Split Second to this day and I still love it.
I thought I was the only person who payed this game. So underrated
Rip Disney Interactive
Rip Blackrock Studios
Rip Split Second
Rip Disney Infinity
Rip Club Penguin
Lesson Learned: Please don’t make / give games with Disney
Wait Disney made Club Penguin???
Rip LucasArts
Rip Rockstar San Diego = Midnight Club Series
Hey don't remember Star Wars 1313
You can't really blame Disney. Blame gamers for not buying the games.
This game was and still is incredible. Needs a sequel, still today. The awful thing was, Disney JUST bought Black Rock, it was almost like they bought them to shut them down. I still have my Black Rock Tshirt. :(
this game demo! THIS GOD DAMN DEMO ! I spend all of 10th grade playing this demo, must have logged 50 hours into it. When I finally got the game on PC
Split/Second: Damn we won't get ourselves another game?
Ridge Racer: Hold my Physics (Makes Unbounded)
@@WAGAKO19
No. Unbounded came out in 2012.
Split/Second came out in 2010.
I've wanted this game for so long that this is gonna be sad to watch.
Pretty sure you meant to say "installment" rather than "installation" early in the video.
In any case one point not touched in the video is that there was a period that, for a number of reasons, was bad for these arcade racers. Two notable games in this genre, including Split Second and Activision's own Blur, failed to meet expectations. Just a few months later Motorstorm Apocalypse, in some aspects similar to Split Second, also failed to meet expectations (though greatly impacted by the earthquake in Japan at the time, due to its theme, which also delayed its release). Two of those led to the closure of its developers right away.
For perspective as well the bulk of Disney Interactive's output at the time were games from their properties such as Hanna Montana, Cheetah Girls, and Sing It!, hardly games that could be considered successes. In many ways Disney Interactive shot itself in the foot as a result of this. For every Pure or Split Second there were dozens of High School Musical or Jonas games. From time to time there was a licensed property game for a Toy Story or Cars movie that offered a solid, if uninspired, gameplay, but also games like the Epic Mickey games which received plenty of promotion and support, and were more expensive productions than their norm, but failed to live up to expectations specially compared to contemporaries.
Ultimately this was a combination of factors that made the game fail, but bad management that led DI to panic and change course without truly assessing where the strengths of their portfolio were. .
I loved Split Second, but the opponent AI and Rubber Banding are BRUTAL in that game. I hate "catch-up" AI.
_Vixen would like to access your location._
The absolute bullshit is a glitch from what i can presume where the ai rubberbands like normal but it keeps the rubberband speed. At the end the ai was 7.2 seconds ahead at the end
@@zSTALKn *raptor ready for deployment*
Spilt Second 2 still cancelled soz
I swear I saw you on every GTA video
Shape Shifted you’re damn right
@@821cockroach5 he's everywhere that's related to racing
Blur 2 too
I remember being in Disney World the summer that the game came out, it was so much fun seeing all the promotion for it in the parks. they did a whole pre-show thing for it at lights, motors, action. If only we can get a spiritual successor in the future.
Whoa, that's awesome.
This is an extremely underrated game! Damn I wish they would get a sequel in the works
I loved split second I hate Disney for not making it
@CarnelJr Faulkner the sales are kinda Disney’s fault, due to the very poor advertising
Just take Asphalt 8, add some powerups, and boom. You have SPLIT/SECOND 2.
I remember playing Split Second. It was super fun and I was sad when they canned the sequel.
I remember how amazing Split Second looked to me at the time. It's crazy to think it's almost been 10 years. Games have come so far!
I didn't know what split second was until you showed the montage and I remembered HOW MUCH FUN I had playing it in my friends house! It was so fun! The explosions! I only got to play the demo I think but the race was awesome anyway! I played it from 5 yrs old to 9.
I played it from 5 years old to… now.
I still have my copy of the game when it first got released and still do play it from time to time as it could offer something other arcade racers didn't (at the time at least). Intense arcade racing action without the reliance of boost. Which definitely arcs back to the older days of 90s arcade racers where it was just you, against some competitive AI racers on very detailed and sometimes imaginative courses, no boosts required. I still do remember the first time I got to the end of the game after going through every single event trying to nab a gold medal in it. Young me was pretty excited, up until later that year I went and search for news about it and then realizing that the game was cancelled and the studio was shut down. It is pretty weird though how two arcade racers that were released that year was what lead to companies being shut down. The other one being Blur.
Side note, and just to mention it, but I feel like this is what inspired that whole racing segment in the movie Ready Player One.
Do a cancelled video on team Bondi who made LA Noire after they shut down and cancelled their second game. There was loads of controversy and shady business with rockstar and the owner
Rockstar never owned team Bondi they contracted Team Bondi to make the game
R K yeah but I mean Brendan, the owner of TB.
I'm still sad about this. I really love Split Second. One of the best racing games i played.
I would be happy with a remastered version on the PS4
Just like the greatest anime of all time, this game couldn't muster a sequel.
Justin the Legend :O Watched it in the making.
Justin, tell me you can get this game made.
Subscribe to me for nothing in return, great deal you dont want to miss!
Hate you
Fuck anime
I never heard of Split/Second but now it's definitely on my play list. I recently played the original Prey for the first time and seeing the "to be continued" and knowing there's no conclusion is really disheartening. Keep up the good work Jake.
TacoTacoma96 I saw my older brother played it
I played and it was Flipping amazing
I’m so glad I found this channel quality is amazing
Fuck running cash registers when I saw this vid I clicked on it. Split second was one of the best games I've ever played. I never knew there was going to be a second one
I STILL PLAY THIS GAME ON PS3. RIP SPLIT SECOND
Well this came out of no where, and you're tackling a subject surrounding one of my most favorite video games? I love you even more now.
I keep forgetting someone actually made a video on the Split Second sequel that never was. God, how I loved that game on my PSP, one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played overall. Thank you G4 (I forgot which show it was) for recommending me the game and thank you Bright Sun Films for closing off the somber tragic journey for this very underrated game.
So the guys from Black Rock went on to create Hangar 13. They made Mafia 3, good game but was rushed by 2k games. Hangar 13 had to go under restructuring because of it and now some employees are at another 2k studio developing the next BioShock game (code name: “Parkside”).
Its a shame what happened to Mafia III, I really need to sit down and finish playing it sometime.
Trust me, it’s worth it
I loved this game. If it was remastered I would totally get it again.
No remasters needed, the graphics aged like fine wine. What we need is a sequel, which is literally impossible once it is 12 years old…
Could you do a Cancelled on Hooters Air?
Hooter's Air was covered.
I know Business Insider did a video on it, But Kinda want to see Jake do a video on it.
@@AlexSpalex1 that must be the one I'm thinking of too... I swore it was Jake 😅.
TI T......
Ohh man, you’re opening up a can of worms by taking on a video game episode of cancelled! Haha, great video, as always! Wouldn’t mind a few more on this topic either (games). Cheers!
I found the story to be interesting. The producer saying "I thought they were canned in 82?" When referring to the people hijacking the show. And when seeing the concept art for the second game, and it taking place in the 70's or 80's is what I thought could have been a interesting story. Like the story being about the predecessor to the present version of Split Second after being canned are now seeing the success of a show with the same name and premise (possibly the rights for their original show was rebooted against their wishes). They then plan to take over the show. But the twist could have been that the original Split Second from the 80's taking over the present Split Second was all scripted, and was just a way to get people interested in the original lesser known version of the show. They way the producer was giving his lines a bit more cringingly was because it was all an act.
Split Second didn't suceed with release, but I think almost anyone who played it fell in love with it since it was so different. It had arcade controls, but was precise enough to have a chance to avoid obstacles, and the whole presentation of it is very representative of TV and movies at the time in terms of music, introductions, etc. Besides, what schoolboy doesn't love cars being paired with over-the-top destruction?
This was one of the most underrated slept on racing games
5:38 I got an ad EXACTLY when the wrecking ball hit the camera.
dude holy crap i had no idea they had plans to make a second one the first one is my life
Jakes vids are so good and so unique. I love it
This was the first video game I was ever really excited for. I saw the online marketing and kept up to date with everything leading up to its release, where my best friend and I were some of the first to pick up the game. It was one of the most fun gameplay exeperiences I’ve ever had and I’ve been looking for one like it ever since.
You could read a book on Algebra, I'd still listen to it. You have such a nice way with words. Keep up the great videos!
Great video as always. Spilt Second is still one of my favorite games of all time. It's just a game you can play for hours and never get bored. I even had the launch edition with the car model included.
This game is a stupidly awesome amount of fun with all the high-energy explosions and track changes. It's truly a guilty pleasure to play, so it's sad the sequel got crushed and never stood a chance. Would have been great to see even more from them!
Flip your Xbox right-side up, my dude.
Nice job on this episode and series as a whole!
Never even heard of this underrated game before until you introduced this episode!
I miss that game it was very fun , I'm sad that they are not going to make anything like it again.
You said you went to Watkins Glen. The bi-yearly races held by NASCAR are pretty good.
Dude the airport map was my childhood
Good video, good work! Glad your branching out a bit as well!
You should do an episode on Opry Land USA in Nashville, Tennessee. Love your videos!
PLEASE PLEASE DO THE RACING GAME BLUR! It was truly an amazing game
Thankyou Jake for the awesome content!
i would love to see more videos from u about cancelled video games like this
In my fictional world, this video game is never cancelled, already finished and successful
Disney pulled an EA move with this game.
What if you did "Abandoned - Texas World Speedway"?
Or Riverside Int'l Raceway? :D
@@hotel_arcadia Well they tore that track apart, so it's not really abandoned. lol
@@carterfriesen8583 Well that's true lol
I’m hooked on the series that you do, keep up the good work!
I love it Jake! Keep up the good work. I'm glad you're uploading more frequently so that I get my BSF fix sooner!!
Do NCAA Football
Who cares about foot ball games
@@stevermacsoucher1625 whatever
They cancelled that because they couldnt pay ncaa players in the games becuase a lot of them were too young so they didnt see the point in continuing it
Yay a new video! I’m so happy now
I watch these videos with my family and we love it. Keep up the awesome work!
Decade later and I'm still one of the top 1%-ers on the leadboards...this game was one of the best racing games I ever played
Disney ruins everything! They ruined Star Wars, and cancelled so many sick games like this one
This and a Blur sequel. Oh what could have been
did you mean Blur the racing game?
@@RK-zf1jm yes, came out in the Xbox / ps3 Era. It was like grand turismo meets Mario Kart
@@esodevulpes6435 you can edit your comment bro
Blur was disappointing in my eyes
I am assuming the concept art is depicting 1982. At 5:18 the voice says "I thought they were taken off the air in '82." So this might be part of the story on how and why they are back.
I'm so incredibly proud of Jake, I've been here since 20k subs and he's only been getting better and better
Thanks so much Meg
Split/Second was the first game I ever owned. God, I hope Hangar 13 revive the franchise.
Yes pleeeeeeeeasee!!!
Only game they made was Mafia 3 which got hammered for being poor to meh so dont hold out much hopes am affraid.
This game and Blur deserved better.
They need to release that game now... I think most people are starting to get sick of the "realism" of grand Turismo and Forza
*For me, SPLIT SECOND, was and always will be, one of the BEST racing game ever made.*
*It's like if MICHAEL BAY and FAST & FURIOUS were married and had a baby > SPLIT SECOND.*
*It was a shame, and very sad to learn that there may never been any sequel of the beloved game "Split Second", but I want to believe that nothing is lost and that one day, a descent episode 2 will come out....let's pray it happen.*
*Thanks for your video Bright Sun Films, I know exactly what you feel about the cancelled sequel project of Split Second, as for many huge fans, this was a masterpiece which deserve a descent sequel of it's own*
Wish this video came out last month when split/second was free with gold on the Xbox😂😂
Damn I remember Split Second! Looks like I gotta dig out my Xbox 360 games...
Today at Midnight in Poland: Time to watch a new BSF video.
Have a good weekend Jake, thanks for the upload.
I have a REALLY good idea for a series you could start!!! Haunted.
Where you talk about locations what are rumored or are "proven" to be haunted.
Like talk about the spooky/scary stuff people have experienced from explorers and (If possible) from past employees or guests. Maybe go there and try and film stuff for yourself or use other UA-camrs videos, articles from the web.
Don't try and debunk anything but talk about the spooky past of the locations. Like Deaths, Experiences, and videos/audio from said location. Id watch the HELL out of that!!! Like maybe make them longer videos. I know you can probably talk about some SUPER famous/popular locations galore!!
This would also give you reasons to travel to some of the "Most Haunted Cities" in the US and Canada.
LIke: NOTE THESE ARE FROM A LIST I FOUND ONLINE. The only one i really know of being haunted is Savannah, GA.
Savannah, GA
Baltimore, MA
Portland, Ore
Washington, D.C.
@@fenharel6849 Yeah, imagine how many he could do and how much detail he could go into!
Do an abounded video on the camelot theme park here in the UK 🇬🇧 jake
I was like 8 when I first got my hands on Split/Second. It was the first racing game I had ever played and it was amazing. It made me think that it was superior to every other racing game just due to the fact it had explosions. Now here I am, devastated with the fact we’ll never get to play something like it again.
Split Second is so underrated! The opposite of your experience, the game came out when I was starting to lose interest in video games, I was really missing older arcade style racers and this game really pulled me back in, it was exactly what I’d been missing. Wish there was a sequel!
To sad that this was cancelled. I really liked it.
I actually still have split second on my Xbox 360 and I still play it 😂
I can’t wait for your Cancelled episode on the Amazon hq2 in Long Island City, Queens!
Absolutely love you’re channel it’s superb and so so interesting cheers from 🇬🇧 London
OMG Loved this game, they had a potential winner on their hands! Can't wait to watch this video!
Split Second was an amazing game :)
Thank you for sharing
I have just started watching your Abandoned and Cancelled series. Literally, i am enjoying the videos.😀😃 Also a request not only from me but from all others.. plse make a "Cancelled"video on Blur video game. It was a Mario kart style racing game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Activision. Including real world licensed cars with power pickups and was very awesome; unfortunately this game also had same fate like SSV. Waiting for the notification on this topic.
And you have gained a new subscriber. Keep up the good work, BSF😘
Hey Jake, I rarely leave UA-cam comments, but I feel this would be right up your alley. Back in 2004 there was a PS2 game called "Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy" which also ended with a "TO ME CONTINUED" at the very end. Spi-Ops was one of my favorite PS2 games and I would love to see a Cancelled episode to find the answers. I love watching your videos, and please keep up the great wok!
