Now this is a great article, this is what n4g use to be. Good articles with tons of information unlike the n4g of today that's all about fanboy wars mainly ps4 fanboys
Great article, l just wish these guys and gals could make a new Timesplitters game instead of the ones Crytek wants them to make. A new Timesplitters game with local four player split-screen gaming would be amazing. Sadly it looks like no new game is in development.
"Timesplitters 4 will likely never happen, the story behind that is a long and complicated one."
It's sad because TimeSplitters 4 would be huge and push PS4 sales even further.
Timesplitters has always been considered a wonderful oddity in the industry. Nothing compares to the series' wacky antics and insane multiplayer action. Unfortunately despite critical success and a rabid fan base the franchise is struggling against modern forces threatening its very existence.
Triad Gamer takes a look at the Timesplitters series and investigates why after 9 years the franchise is still waiting on a 4th iteration.
It's sad when games that fans enjoy don't get made because the franchise might not have mainstream success
Omg I would love TimeSplitters 4
Please make
:)
I bet they will take out
offline multiplayer
Agreed. TS4 would be amazing. The only series where I don't find time travel a tedious crutch of story design.
The shooting was always do good in that series.
Careful what you ask for...Folks wanted a new Need For Speed and they got The Run made by the same guys that did Carbon and the original Most Wanted and now they want TimeSplitters 4. You gotta know, lighting down strike twice.
Leave it alone.
You wanna relive the good-ol days? play the older games. Thats what they are there for.
