I have no idea what effect this would actually have but apparently the main reason for having no new Timesplitters is the CEO of Crytek being unsure of there being enough demand for it.
So someone has begun a petition to show that there is demand, it worked for Dark Souls PC so maybe it could work here. The petition is nearly up to 7K but it appears to have been going for quite some time although today was the first I've heard of it.

Is petitioning a good way for fans to show demand for future projects? Or is it just pipe dream action?
P.S. could always sign it I suppose, if it's something you could get behind.
I know Bobmus' post is literally the first comment but this needs to be put up here....

There is actually a petition running online trying to bring the fan base together. But unfortunately the petition doesn't look that convincing. If the petition picks up it will be an even better argument for us. At a personal level, I'm a big fan of Timesplitters 2. For me, I would love to see the game out there, as a newborn HD version or what not. I definitely would love to see it. But the case of turning this into a business decision is still difficult, despite the fact that there was a Twitter request feed to test the waters. And now the petition, it just seems to be as we expected, as it was when it was Free Radical.
There's a very hardcore market that is very verbal about it. I would love to see this, and if the fan base approves a further petition. They're trying to call 300,000 voices, I think it's at two or three thousand right now. If they could get the petition together I would be very happy to put in front of decision makers in the company, the key stakeholders, and say "Look here. This is how it is, let's make it now."
