In at Eurogamer Expo, awaiting a Split/Second session talk by Nick. I'm the only one here at the mo except for crew and the peeps from Black Rock. And Expo peeps, who are still working hard after a great Leeds session, they seem to think this show could get even bigger so looking already to next year and making it even bigger, if that makes sense.
People behind me have just been kicked out sorry asked to leave, so i'll stay quiet and keep my head down and keep typing eh, lol.
So far I have seen Left 4 Dead 2, nice, MAG, though with only 8 TV's I don't think it sells the game.
They are still setting up Battle Field Bad Company 2, but the title screen looks Dynamic, lol.
Though there seems to be the effect, that press get sort of right of way, prefered treatment, say what you will, I still got in at the same time as Joe Public We all got in lol, which is cool, but always like to take pictures of an open/virgin space before the masses, as you can see the eb and flow of the people.
Though there is a good lot of space at the moment, people jumpng onto games, and the 'help' (people that are working very hard to make us the gamers happy, getting chair to sit and play, saying hello etc, so the at most, right got kicked out back in a mo-suf out
Right back, met some peeps from Sarcastic gamer, as we wait to go in , some nice press people.
So going to attempt to live blog this Split/Second session, but I will play it by ear or is it word?

Reel of player abuse lool Dock track, hud still behind the car, but sweet track, and nasty power plays!lol
Short Cuts open and can close on other players, sweet, some interesting drifting...
Changing the routes nice boat ride, lol
Vehicles exclusive to the game...
Worked into and from the ethos of the game, Big Tv show type of theing with high budgets
Cars Video, nice stuff, they look good
Hyper Reality movie spectacular style is a main recipie for the game....
14 to 15 set parts to each race at 150mph?? but compared to other games that are slow with only 3 or 4 set pieces...
Sound bytes of special effects, sound and video but car seems to be invicible throu the track....
Design for Destruction on set piece is 2km long!!
Some Dock concept piece looks good, then story boards for the boat drive as the boat capsizes, some block animation video
Enter the Docks! Game Running, Video out in a couple of weeks, envoirment is part of the game play too...
Starting grid, from standing start, moves fast, sweet drifting, slowmo viz, he's crashed he's crash, quick spawn, messed his self up, hud flick round, 4mins for that track.Saw all the map changes of that track at the highest level of play.
Mic out, Questions to audience.
DLC plans? Thinking about it...
Ship with tracks and Cars how many? Not telling till later but less than Forza 3 and Project Gotham 4 lol.
100 people working on the game at the mo...
But the deve team is small to keep focused...
Action to another track, all about the proximity to other players... (taken out or not)....
8 Player single player.
Computer languages!!!
8 players online, 2 player split screen.
Trying to bring the Single player to multi as much as possible, but still not telling what modes we have in the race.
Disney Control question, seen this question before EA, lol. What type of censorship will Disney stop etc.
They are happy as long as it is needed in the game, creative process working with other Disney sections, like Roller Coaster rides, and seeing how it works for the game.
Right time to end, time to hit submit

Right Hands on with Split/Second
I like! but need to take a break and formulate my letters, to what I'm going to write...
Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?
And I hope you have some too because with back hurting being sweaty twus hot in the Basement, I'm going to write this review, or feelings of, etc etc whatever I write, it will not be worth waiting for, but will be as informative as I can get it. AS I don't think people have really written or said much about this game, but as my moto gets longer, I realise I need to think more about this and come back to you but It is an Arcade racer!
My Drivel will start here later...
