The future prospects of TimeSplitters didn't always look morbid. A fourth game in the series was once in development, first with Radical Design in 2007, and then Crytek UK following a studio rebranding. But development of the fourth title never went anywhere. Like the series as a whole, TimeSplitters 4 just vanished.
Details on the project will likely forever remain a mystery, however, earlier this week a huge collection of character concept art surfaced, offering a glimpse into the game that never was.
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
Zany indeed. I gotta tell ya, the world needs more TimeSplitters. Sadly, from my understanding, the guys couldn't find a publisher thanks to Haze, and although you only get a few images in this article (which also points out more) I think whatever publishers skipped this entry missed out on something special.
FFS.. sigh
I wish TimeSplitters was still a thing
Timesplitters was such a fun silly game the bros and I would ALWAYS play it. Endless hours of laughs and good times. I can't see why there is no future for Timesplitters....
