GamerFitNation's Gregory Laporte interviews a group of Timesplitters fighting strong to bring the game back. "Timesplitters is a franchise that many gamers may remember throughout the years. While we haven’t seen a game in a few years there is a small community trying to make a difference. I recently got the chance to talk with Dan Laine one of the admins for 100,000 strong for TimeSplitters 4 to find out just what the group is about and why this is a relevant cause."
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.
I don't see why they don't just do a kickstarter for an HD collection... Shoot, I'm pretty dang sure it would go through, and it's not like it costs them anything to gauge interest that way...
Definitely want TimeSplitters 4 that's for sure
I remember growing up in highschool and playing TimeSplitters 2 with my friends for hours. That was some of my best memories gaming. Truly a missed franchise in my heart.
If it would come to consoles then yes I would
I remember waiting for my blue envelope from Sony to say my PS2 was ready to pick up from Woolworths. It eventually came about two days after the launch and I picked up a copy of timesplitters, didn't put it down for about 20 hours non stop lol
