TimeSplitters 4 Possible If Facebook Page Reaches 100,000 Fans

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.

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...

TopDudeMan4333d ago

Awesome, just liked it! Everyone else should do the same.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34333d ago (Edited 4333d ago )

So all this accomplishes is a song and a character drawing?

Edit: Lol,I get disagrees but no answer to my question?

snipes1014333d ago (Edited 4333d ago )

It's better than nothing isn't it? For this to even catch any attention is a good thing.

I tweeted the link at Game Informer and a few other publications. That should help.

@snipes101

If that's all this accomplishes, why would anyone care? We want a game!!!

snipes1014333d ago

Crytek's attitude towards the game proves that this isnt something that is just going to get approved. Every little bit of progress is more than weve seen in years. Why so negative?

Blastoise4333d ago

Liked :) Lets hope we end up with more likes than a measly 1,600 odd by tomorrow.

sikbeta4333d ago

Damn, TS4... I was waiting for this game since the start of this gen!

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34333d ago

I guess all those disagrees mean yes to my question. I wasn't hating, I was just wondering, lol. More power to the whole effort and everything...

Wagz224333d ago

I never go on facebook, but I actually logged on just to like this just to have a chance for this to be made.

joab7774333d ago

I don't understand because 100000 isn't enough to guarantee success even if all bought it. It would have to be like 4 million +. 100000 only proves what they already know...that ppl love time splitters. And whether ppl buy it has to do with a couple things: how good the game is and when it releases. They have enough data on old ips making new Gen versions...Max Payne 3 etc. It doesn't make sense. A great idea would be to make it a next Gen launch & it will sell. Companies know that games like this will make a certain amount of money. They hold onto it like an ace of hearts. The key is how its made and when as I mentioned. I dunno...something is off.

Enigma_20994332d ago (Edited 4332d ago )

@snipes101

... because NO ONE'S SAID WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A GAME IF WE GET 100,000 LIKES ON FACEBOOK!!!

We've been asking for a new Timesplitters game for years! Timesplitters 2 was the first FPS I actually ENJOYED! It's not like they don't know how much we want one! Why do we have to waste time boosting a d*** Facebook page to prove it? The demand is already there! Hell, I bet they could even fund it with Kickstarter at this moment!

When they finally say, "we'll make a new Timesplitters game if you do this..." THEN I'll care, until then don't waste my time. Feel free to waste yours, though...

Oh yeah... and I don't know about you, but I don't give a s*** about Facebook.

Not sure what the point of deleting it was. Oh well. Liked!

Time to a create a 2nd facebook account :p

sharkgun4333d ago

To every Timesplitters fan: make sure you 'like' the TS fan campaign website on facebook. I even created a facebook account just to give them my vote!

Slive4330d ago

Cannot agree with you more! the more fans that like this page, the better world for every body!

What are those two words? "Suck It"?

See what I did there just now?

I sooo miss Timesplitters. But an online only version like Crytek seems to be hinting at, wouldn't be what I want.

Anemptybox4333d ago

I also don't want it to be online only. They should just take everything that made the first three awesome and add and improve stuff!

NormalKoi4333d ago

TimeSplitters was great. We need a new sequel.

gaminoz4333d ago

I'd love a Timesplitters with the Borderlands 2 style art. And split screen multi with a map editor. PLEASE :)

dead_eye4332d ago

Sorry have to disagree with this one. I love the art style on borderlands and would understand this if timesplitters didn't have it's own personal style to begin with.

Cancelled TimeSplitters Game Footage Appears as Studio Closes

Unveiled footage of the cancelled TimeSplitters game emerges after Free Radical's closure, igniting fans' nostalgia and hopes for a revival.

CrashMania54d ago

From looking at the gameplay, it just looks like Fortnite, this would have been very poorly received by timesplitters fans.

Cacabunga53d ago

Another legendary series that ends brutally.. glad this never came out, it’s an insult to the original one

Neonridr54d ago

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?

XiNatsuDragnel54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Looks fornitey would've been cool at the time tbh

aaronaton53d ago

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:

https://www.linkedin.com/fe...

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.

CantThinkOfAUsername53d ago

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.

ocelot0753d ago

That's not time splitters I enjoyed as a kid/teen!!!

Wtf was that!

Free Radical Closed for Good as Developers Say Their Goodbyes

Free Radical has officially closed its doors for good today following the announcement of its shutdown by Embracer.

Terry_B139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

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.

coldfire984139d ago

Embracer started off with W after W but lately its been nothing but Ls

neutralgamer1992139d ago

They never had the money to buy and support that’s why. Time splitters HD collection would be awesome

0hMyGandhi139d ago

I can't wait for people to move on from that vernacular.

darthv72139d ago

Man... I hope other studios can pick up these guys and put them to work.

0hMyGandhi139d ago

I'm surprised they didn't try to reform and do the whole kickstarter thing like other former Rare devs did with Playtonic, but with shooters instead of mascot platformers.

Kados139d ago

Embracer should liquidate all their IPs and shut down. They are a skid mark on the industry.

dumahim139d ago

Who would have ever seen this coming? *shocked Pikachu face*

Kados139d ago

Honestly, when they first formed, i had moderate expectations. They were formed by the same people behind THQ Nordic, which was a very good dev, and initially they seemed to be mostly buying up dead IPs that the prior owners had left in the back of the closet. Thought maybe they were actual gamers who were planning on reviving abandoned IPs.

They had an opportunity to be a major boon to the industry, but instead turned into a turd that just guarantees none of these games ever sees day again.

0hMyGandhi139d ago

They almost make EA look better by comparison. Almost.

CobraKai139d ago

I thought they closed decades ago

Plague-Doctor27139d ago

They did. Most of that old studio went on to form Dambuster Studio (Dead Island 2). Embracer bought the rights and created a new internal studio called Free Radical with some of the old team and got them working on a new TimeSplitters. They announced they are shutting that studio down today after about 2 years

mastershredder139d ago

This is some very sad news. They deserve so much better.

SonyStyled139d ago

I’m going to play a Haze in their memory
