F2P Timesplitters 4 Could Happen (Probably Won't)

[albinoterrorist]

What's Timesplitters? I feel like I might lose my gaming license for asking >_>

Series of 3 FPS's released between 2000 and 2005.
Decent single-player story (in the last two games) and some of the best split-screen multiplayer ever since.
Went with a wacky, arcadey style, rather than the grim darkness of grim grey darkness shooters have gravitated towards in recent years.
You can pick them up rather cheap second-hand now (I found a copy of their most recent game, Future Perfect, a couple of months back going for £4), so i'd definately recommend trying either Future Perfect or Timesplitters 2, if you can get them.
I wouldn't recommend getting the first, simply because 12 years has not aged it well.
It has some nice ideas which unfortunately never made it across to 2 (such as the Escort multiplayer mode, the Wave Survival-kind of multiplayer mode, and 4-Team Capture the Flag), but the loading times and graphics are a bit much to swallow, nowadays.
So, yeah. Get 2 or FP. (2 if you have a Playstation 2, or FP if you have a Playstation 2/Xbox/Gamecube)

I humbly request that everybody from Crytek just not say anything regarding TimeSplitters 4 unless it's talk of the game finally being developed. I did not enjoy getting led on for the last two years just to get told it wasn't in development.

...FP2 TS Multiplayer? Why not? Something hold TS fans before TS4 comes out.

Daystar may have something to say but I think that Timesplitters could be compared to Okami in the fact that they are both excellent games (and, in the case of TS, a series) with a almost cult following of fans that is almost completely invisible until the topic is brought up.

Back On Topic: Lot's of people are saying HD remakes and lot's of others are saying do the F2P TS. I for one think that they should create the HD remakes to gauge interest; then do the F2P to stave off fans and fund a full-blown sequel.
