TimeSplitters Is Back Baby!

[berisha]

Easily one of the most exciting pieces of news this year is that Deep Silver announced that it is officially working on a new TimeSplitters game, with Free Radical Design reforming to handle development.




I know it's likely many years away, but it's exciting to know that the ball is rolling now. TimeSplitters was one of my favourite games growing up as a kid so I'm keen to see what they come up with. Would love a remastered trilogy in the meantime.

Who else played the series? Which entry was your favourite? It's gotta be TimeSplitters 2 for me.

Also, do you think they can modernise it? What would you like to see in a new TimeSplitters?

Saw this the other day, big task to create something as memorable as the first two.

Can they port the first two in the mean time? (with usual resolution upgrades etc)

Hmmm not sure. I don't recall playing a third but just took a look and it's familiar.

Haha yes, only got to play the first two when I had to sneak onto my brothers Playstation.

Loved Timesplitters 3, I think, on GC and it had missions you could do solo after the solo campaign was completed.

Best thing about Rewind is that the Early Access version has a remake of TS1's campaign, more campaigns to come
