Crytek UK Testing the Waters for New TimeSplitters Game

[Bobipine]

more timesplitters!?! YES! a Million YES!

...wait... DNF, TimeSplitters"4", a new Kid Icarus. somethings not right here...

Isn't...

isn't next year 2012? *Le gasp*

OT: Let this happen, but not as a sick twist of faith. Let there be another Timesplitters, let it be chaotic fun, TONS OF UNLOCKABLES, arcade and challenges, mapmakers, and the wide pallet of characters styles...
And bring back Anaconda as a hidden minigame! (not a necessity though, just a Timesplitters in the state of the art will be a great thing)

I can die happily when I get this game.

 

[Dioxide20]

I loved Timesplitters, and would love to play a reboot.

 

[AndrewOfHell]

A new Timesplitter's game eh...

*Gives a check to CryTeck*

Sirs, write any figure on this paper and I will pay it!!!

*Takes a deep breath* Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

Whew, awesome. I really really hope this gets made especially when I think of all the time I dumped into the last one. There was something about 1 shot kill reflector pistols in crowded hallways and rooms that always caused entertainment for me. I, along with everyone else it seems, just hope they don't turn it into CoD or something similar. I want my crazy characters and a plot that makes jokes at every chance humanly possible and I will be in heaven.

On a side note i feel like I committed a gaming sin, I just remembered I sold my copy of future perfect to a friend and can't dig it out right now D:

I played Future Perfect a few years ago and I absolutely loved it. It was hilarious and... well, fun. I'm all about dramatic and thoughtful pieces (MGS, Bioshock), and if I had the time I could get into something lengthy and involving (Bethesda, Bioware), but this tickles my fancy in a completely different way. It tickles it with a meat hook on the arm of a skinned moose man.

 

[Unesh52]

woops, double post.

 

[Aura Guardian]

As long as I see a Wii Version of this...I'll be happy. I could care less about Cryengine.

 

[FinalFreak16]

Timesplitters Splitscreen was without a doubt the best id ever played. Throw in a good online multiplayer and you have the recipe for pure awesome.

The secret ingredient is Monkeys!

 

[Accountfailed]

hells YES! top 10 favourite game of all time right there. life is good

 

[No Good Names Left]

Hearing this news reminded me on my 2-week quest to completely Gold medal Timesplitters 2 and future perfect. It was so damn fun!

On an slightly related note- when I came on the Escapist, I was listening to Futurism, by Muse. Fate?

 

[D34th7]

Man this just made my day. I have too many memories with this game......monkey fist fights
Goliath from timesplitters future perfect was my favorite guy.

 

[Pilkingtube]

OMG I totally forgot about this game but it was so much fun! You could lay down proximity mines and then watch as a wall of ninja monkeys ran into them and exploded. After which you shot syringes filled with a chemical at a midget clown, causing him to explode! My god this game was good! And it was so funny too at times, in that really cheesy 'I know that i'm about to do an awful pun' sort of way. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

 

[SelectivelyEvil13]

I have never had the chance to play Timesplitters[footnote]Sad, sad panda face[/footnote], but would LOVE to see this come to fruition! I just hope that they've learned from the debacle that was Hazo. Despite owning the game[footnote]Thank goodness for online prices cheaper than a rental would cost[/footnote], I cannot bring myself to play it out of (1) sheer disappointment and (2) the HORRENDOUS lines spouted off by your twats in arms.

By no means should that screw up any chance for a new Timesplitters. No way!

 

[DarkSpectre]

Oh yes oh yes oh yes, so much of my childhood was spent playing those games. I don't know a single person who played them and doesn't still love them. They just needed more publicity.

 

[Sinister Minister]

Crytek UK, do you realize how much time me and many, MANY other players have spent on this series and enjoyed every god damn minute of it?

If you bring TimeSplitters 4 to fruition I will probably never play anything else ever again. That is, if it has online capabilities like Future Perfect did. I don't know if you're even going to see this but let it be known that we want TS4!

 

[Phoenix14]

OH...MEH...GOD This is the best video game news I've heard in the last 5 years!

 

[SalamanderJoe]

YES YES YES YES OH THANK YOU GOD!! I would love Crytek UK/Free Radical forever!

First off, R-100 needs a come back, as well as Calamari, oh and the power ups and health bars need to stay and [sub]Captain Ash needs an apperance saving the Amazon queen again, OH and...[/sub]

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

Timesplitters 2 had the best mutliplayer of any console shooter. Timesplitters 3 had the best campaign/co-op of any console shooter.

Assault maps on the hardest settings and 3 players split screen are some of the most fun ever to be had in gaming.

I will purchase a ps3 immediately if TS4 has the goofy feel of those games without acknowledging the "brofist" demographic.

 

[josemlopes]

FUCK YEAH!!!

Its time to release the new game
