Unfortunately, it’s been long enough now that the series may no longer be relevant to get a straight sequel (just look at what happened with Duke Nukem Forever). The best solution? An HD collection of the first three games that could happen with your support.
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.
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.
TimeSplitters studio Free Radical Design faces closure before Christmas, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors has privately acknowledged.
I hope those (selectively) against acquisition of studios are now satisfied.
The embrace of Embracer feels more like a death squeeze. ☠ Hopefully the Time Splitter property doesn't get abandoned completely, and I would hope at least some of the key creative minds behind the originals are sought within a new studio taking the helm.
you hate to see it... if only there was someone capable of bailing them out and providing them with the capital to make new games in the franchise.
If the studios were bought, the studio leaders got paid right? Millions...
Let them help out their teams now...
Very sad news :-( I was really looking forward to the return of TimeSplitters. I had a blast with those games
oh man, me and my buddy played Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect on the Gamecube. I used to love the coop from those games back in the day.
I would love to see an HD collection on the Wii U. I would buy it for sure.
well if they are only gonna do it only if there are a certain amount of signatures than im sure it will be some cheap cash in and not worth the name timesplitters. We need someone who actually cares about making a good game first before thinking about the money if the game is gonna be good for a timesplitters game
i'm sick of all this HD stuff i want to play new games !!
Signed, kinda getting a bit late for this gen now though...
Sorry, but I need more than "get me 300,000 signatures, and I'll ask them if they're interested." And if people are still talking about it now, why would they not think there's a demand for it?
