TimeSplitters 4 was officially revealed in 2007. A year later, developer Free Radical Design went into administration.
Somehow a PlayStation prototype of TimeSplitters 4 has been unearthed on eBay, and many are waiting for the package to meet its new owner.
Excited to see these prototypes out there and I hope the internet can play them.
From the leaked screenshots, it looks better than the recent cancelled Timesplitters game imo.
Many high-profile games have been canceled. Here are the ones that should come back in some way, shape, or form.
Now that is one MP game I miss. Bring it on, provided its not messed up with predatory MTs.
I loved mag until they patched it so much it was unrecognizable a year later. They gave into people whining.
eventually even prone light machine guns couldn't shoot straight even if you tap the trigger, and assult rifles became basically the only relevant weapon. It's been so long though I don't remember all the details, but it was beyond just that. I still fondly remember it though. Get a squad of 12 friends and you could turn and entire 256 match alone
Some of these games were never played by or released to the public....how do we know they were ever actually good?
I have no clue if scalebound would have been any good... But the game was marketed well enough that I wish it hadn't been cancelled :/ To be fair loads of games that were good and sometimes great were "brought back" and were total disasters (Duke Nukem comes to mind for example).
By all counts the Scalebound shown at E3s was not what the actual game in development looked like. If such is true, or if the four player co-op thing, then its stronger reason why they canceled it. Why it was so long development before it was.
Having looked at the trailer for Scalebound I was appaled by the cringe-worthy voice acting although from the very limited time watching the battle scenes the game IMHO had potential.
Actually, the trailers were really boring and the demo of the gameplay was crap in performance. The desire for a good game has created a hype campaign in this game.
THQ, make our dreams come true
Lack of publisher interest!?!? GAHHHH, just put up a dang kickstarter then!
I can't stand the politics that goes on within the gaming industry
Say time splitters was getting a bit boring in the end so I'm not really bothered about another one
I think the publishers had a point, although timesplitters remains one one of the best multiplayer splitscreen experiences last gen, this developer had a disastrous start to the current gen by putting out Haze. So i can understand the skepticism of a publisher that is about to invest a couple million in a project.
Best couch splitscreen games from last gen:
1.Timesplitters 1-4(Nothing like running around as the smallest character so everyone had to aim down.)
2.Turok 1&2(Cerebral bore' nuff said.)
3.N64 Goldeneye (Remote mines with the infinit cheat on in multiplayer)
4.N64 WCW games (remeber everyone picking Goldberg and spearing everyone.)
...ok Now I want to get the N64 out, some controlls, friends over, and some booze'. Is it weird I enjoyed those more then Gears of War, Call of Duty, and games of now. Im not jaded or acting like an elitist, just way better times.
