"We spent all of the development budget on buying monkeys"
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.
Another legendary series that ends brutally.. glad this never came out, it’s an insult to the original one
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.
TimeSplitters got cancelled for a second time recently, but for what reason? And is there any hope for another comeback?
To be honest the odds of this ever being good or recapturing the original trilogy were always going to be slim to none. The franchise was a product of its time. Look at how misplaced nostalgia met reality with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. If you have to use old IP then most of the time you have to completely reinvent it from the ground up.

"Crytek UK, the studio formally known as Free Radical"
FormERly known...
Battlefront 3 and this. Upsets me :(
Not a surprise, I think Crytek UK are developing Homefront 2 at the moment.
Fail on TimeSplitters.
They better be working on Homefront 2, cause I hate Crysis.
Such a shame, I loved TimeSplitters...
