Time to split! Free Radical is working hard on TimeSplitters 4

Say what? TimeSplitters 4?! - Image 1One of the most anticipated FPS titles this year is Haze (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), but Free Radical has more in store for fans of new and old. The latest IP is sure to attract a wider audience, but loyal followers of TimeSplitters also have something to be happy about. After OPM UK revealed that a new TimeSplitters is in the works, Free Radical's Rob Yescombe confirmed that they're working hard on the fourth installation in the series.

"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 told Kotaku. What crazy ideas they're planning with this promise, we do not know.

The game is still in very early stages of development, so no confirmations on which platform it will come out yet. All Yescombe could say was they're "unsigned at the moment." As long as the monkeys and hilarious weapons are back, we're all good.

# Haze is a timed exclusive for the PS3Guest 2007-08-08 22:11
Hence it's coming to the PC and 360 sometime after the PS3 release (not sure how long though).

# If...Guest 2007-08-08 22:54
If thi became a 360 exclusive it's quite possibly the only game that would make me swap my PS3 for a 360. Let's hope it comes out on the PS3.

# Not gonna happenGuest 2007-08-09 00:51
Free Radical has History with Microsoft. (Read Microsoft bought Rare Ware and they split to form Free Radical). As of yet, I don't think that they're in very good standing with the good 'ol boys of Redmond.



MONKEY~! xD

# Why wont it happen?!Guest 2007-08-09 00:58
What the? Cant you read?!

Yeah they split from Rare ages ago, but they still managed to produce Timsplitters 2+3 for the xbox. Second sight aswell, get your facts right frist you fool.



Hmm i wonder what the story wil be though. It ended in 3 with cortez saving the future.

# What the hellGuest 2007-08-09 01:43
What the hell is with the Haze for pc and 360 too. I mean it was announced in an interview, check gametrailers, that the game would be completely exclusive to the ps3 and will NOT come to other consoles (don't know if that includes pc).

# Well..Guest 2007-08-09 02:27

# ^^^ That's not correctGuest 2007-08-09 03:14
The founders of Free Radical spit from Rare long before MS bought them.



http://www.frd.co.uk/corporate.php



"After leaving developer Rare in February 1999, former GoldenEye and Perfect Dark team members Dr. David Doak, Steve Ellis, Karl Hilton and Graeme Norgate began trading as independent developer 'Free Radical Design' a mere two months later."



Microsoft bought Rare 3 years later in 2002;

Therefore Free Radical don't have any problems with Microsoft, it's just that the PS2 was their lead console last gen, and so the PS3 is their lead console this gen.

If they expand on the Future Perfect map maker, this will blow other FPSs out of the water

It would be cool, but there are many other FPSs which I expect to be better than TS4. I have to admit, I was never really a TS fan to begin with. I found the series fun, but nothing special (for me).
