The long awaited TimeSplitters 4 is officially in development and we're already anticipating another classic FPS in the making.
Clearly, in the absence of throwing virtual bricks at virtual windows, English youths have been forced to practise such operations for real. Thank God then that Timesplitters coming back because, frankly, we've never needed it more.
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.
Triad Gamer takes a look at the Timesplitters series and investigates why after 9 years the franchise is still waiting on a 4th iteration.
OMG yes! Must resist fanboy outburst!.
Just give us what made the old Timesplitters great, outrageous characters, interesting story, time travelling to unique and entertaining places, tons of original and fun weapons. Throw in some online play and watch the mayhem unfold!
Just not another game compromised for the consoles like crysis 2 ... and no post launch dx11 patch this time pls
All i want to see: TimeSplitters 4
NO AIMING DOWN THE SIGHT HELL NO!!
Since when is TimeSplitters "officially in development", and I dont mean the rumor, because thats a rumor. I want a link to Crytek announcing it.
