A new campaign has started for TimeSplitters 4 that has reached the attention of Crytek's higher-ups. Even former Free Radical members are intrigued about the new campaign that is aiming to hit 100,000 fans to help get TimeSplitters 4 made.
The Facebook page is a collaborative effort from gamers coming together to get Crytek to see that fans really do want and will pay for a TimeSplitters 4.
Former Free Radical member Graeme Norgate, the composer on previous TimeSplitter games, says he'll contribute a victory theme song to the campaign if it reaches its goal of 100,000 fans. A senior Crytek artist also says he'll contribute a character design for TimeSplitters if they can get more than 1,000 likes on the Facebook page. They have so far achieved this with a current total of 1,350 likes.
Previous articles have reached 500 degrees on here, but have been taken down by N4G due to directly linking to the Facebook page.
Unveiled footage of the cancelled TimeSplitters game emerges after Free Radical's closure, igniting fans' nostalgia and hopes for a revival.
From looking at the gameplay, it just looks like Fortnite, this would have been very poorly received by timesplitters fans.
I'm glad this got cancelled, what's with the Fornite knockoff? TimeSplitters was an FPS, not a 3rd person battle royale.
What were they thinking?
I got into a minor disagreement with their staff shortly after the closure, after i commented about a Timesplitters HD remaster to gauge public reception before such a big project here:

Looking at the gameplay footage, it's clear that the staff (no matter what level) we're out of their depth, putting lots of hours into a game that would of been DOA if Embracer didn't shut it down.
They removed the footage. Here it is if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/BesmfPD8fj...
It's basically a Fortnite clone. Seems like a good decision to cancel this game.
Free Radical has officially closed its doors for good today following the announcement of its shutdown by Embracer.
Embracer totally unceremoniously shutting down their just reformed Free Radical Design around two years after buying them and before they were even able to show off their new Time Splitters game is SO Embracer Group. Meh.
Good luck to all devs finding a place elsewhere.
Embracer should liquidate all their IPs and shut down. They are a skid mark on the industry.
MP1st talks to Crytek about Hunt: Showdown's success, future title updates, inspiration behind weapons and more.
Let's get this moving. N4G have removed the previous two articles, even though the last one was just behind the latest GTA V news.
If this breaks the rules, then I've got two words for ya, N4G...
I sooo miss Timesplitters. But an online only version like Crytek seems to be hinting at, wouldn't be what I want.
TimeSplitters was great. We need a new sequel.
I'd love a Timesplitters with the Borderlands 2 style art. And split screen multi with a map editor. PLEASE :)
