MMGN writes: Rumours surfaced a few months ago suggesting a new TimeSplitters could be on the way from Crysis 2 developer Crytek, with the title projected as a possible launch game for any Xbox 360 successor.
Crytek was quick to squash those rumours, but the rumour section of Official PlayStation Magazine has revealed that a new TimeSplitters game may very well be on the way, with the magazine claiming a fourth game is to be announced soon.
If the rumours are true, what can be expect from the fourth title in the popular FPS series, and what should be included?
With the launch of Homefront: The Revolution, developed by the remnants of Free Radical, the question on a lot of people's minds is "Where is TimeSplitters?". This arcticle is an in-depth look into the TimeSplitters series as well as it's developers Free Radical, who later went on to become Dambuster studios, looking into where it all went wrong and also diving into their secret projects.
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
Amen to that, Homefront is sadly the closest weird going to get, looking at the facts. I hope I am wrong though.
It's a saddening affair, Doom reminded me why these arcade shooters are more enjoyable in my eyes for FPS, multiplayer mayhem in TimeSplitters 1, 2 & 3 were godly. Many a evening in my childhood were spent on TimeSplitters just unlocking all the characters for killing in capture the bag!
HD remaster is all we need, screw online it's all about that local!
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.
Sadly with the original developers are fragmented as they are, (I think it's about halfway through the article, I do a mini "Where are they now") - I don't see a new TimeSplitters game coming any time soon... At least not without the core feeling. If we see it come back, I see it come back as a purely competitive online shooter.
"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.

You can expect a day 1 sale from me. loved every single timesplitters.
thoe 1 and 2 more close to my heart.
TOTALLY. love the unlocks if you can do it in best time. reminded me soo much of goldeneye. by rare witch is funny cos the dev team free radical was once apart of RARE. witch have since split gone there seperate ways, Rare gone with MS. And free radical have been taken on with crytek. witch was the best part of rare team.
there you go bit knowledge for you. ;)
Yeh im not the best at explaining myself nor am i good speller or at grammer. even at 33 so do forgive me
. but i was mearly trying to state lol free radical did have SOME" of the team who was with RARE.
never knew the reason for the split. but from what i can tell RARE. who now with MS. really what have they done few games remade some n64 game too. i feel the talent was free radical.
and thanks to crytek for taking on some if not all the team.
when they lost there jobs to help crytek learn the console line so they can choose that path as well as the pc.
i think was the best move cos crytek are awsome devs only do good games.
CRYTEKUK or CRYUK im not sure but eaither way there still kicking using there talents. another timesplitters made by these guys would put a huge smile on m face.
also glad to see another follower that have known about RARE n64
and free radicle. followed them up. bubbles to you.
