Even Poetry Might Not Be Enough To Make TimeSplitters 4
TimeSplitters 4 is not in development. That’s been made clear.
TimeSplitters 4 Is Not Being Developed
There’s been teaser art for years. And even as recently as 2010, word that its creators were talking with publishers about releasing it. But in sad news for TimeSplitters fans, it seems the 4th game in the series is going absolutely nowhere.
Crytek Helps Free Radical Realize Their Dreams
How did Crytek get picked to purchase Free Radical over the various other companies vying for a piece of the floundering studio? By harnessing the power of dreams.
Free Radical Cuts 140 Jobs, Up For Sale
The rumours of TimeSplitters developer Free Radical’s demise were a bit premature, but things aren’t at all good, as the developer drops over 75% of their workforce and puts the remnants up for sale.
Free Radical Founder Sets Up New Studio
A few months before Free Radical Design cratered, founder Steve Ellis set up a new studio and parked the domain for “Pumpkin Beach.” Well, he and 20 former FRD coders now have jobs there.
TimeSplitter 4 Star Wars Parody Disappears
That’s odd.
TimeSplitters 4 Will Officially Feature Monkeys
So we knew TimeSplitters 4 was in development, and have known about it for a while now. Still, there’s nothing like an official announcement, just to get it all out in the open. Free Radical have taken the wraps off TimeSplitters 4, announcing it on their site in probably the only way they could: with monkeys. Monkeys taking the piss out of Halo. Hit up the site to see the teaser ad in full. TimeSplitters 4 [Free Radical]
TimeSplitters 4 On Wii?
As of right now, there’s no specified platform for TimeSplitters 4. It could be on PC, it could be on DS, it could be a mobile game. But really, going on the history of the series, you’d imagine it’d appear on PS3, and going on the way the market’s looking these days, you’d imagine it’d also appear on 360. And the Wii? It’s also in the fold, Free Radical’s David Doak saying: I think we want to put it [TimeSplitters 4]on the Wii.
Fairly emphatic, that. Course a more formal announcement on platforms would be great (Gizmondo owners, you’re officially still in the running), but until then, Wii owners can at least get a decent nights sleep knowing they’re not being written off completely. “We want to put the sequel on Nintendo’s console,” says the UK developer [Game Informer, via Games Radar]
Free Radical Talks Timesplitters 4
Speaking with Free Radical script writer Rob Yescombe earlier today, he reiterated that Free Radical is indeed hard at work on Timesplitters 4.
“In the past Timesplitters has been very satirical at the expense of movies, this time it will be satirical at the expense of video games,” Yescombe said.
The game is in the very early stages of development, Yescombe said. When I asked him what systems they were developing it for Yescombe said “unsigned at the moment.”
