I know Haze was shit but I was looking forward to Timesplitters 4 still...

Fuck.


Was really looking forward to TimeSplitters 4. I hope no one gay like EA picks it up and ruins it. :(

Pity. The Timesplitters series got better with each passing game and I really enjoyed Second Sight on the Gamecube.

The country is going down the tubes. :(

They published TS3...

Anyways, they're not that bad seeming anyways these days. Just gotta hope Activision doesn't pick it up...

That fucking blows.

You know what I mean. Take the gameplay and fuck it all up.

Urgh. Realistically, we are going to have to expect more companies to go the same way over the next little while, I'm sure.
Like everyone else, I'm wondering what's going to happen to TS4.

More Free Radical news.

Awesome.

Did you post before Update 2 on the site? :(

I'm not sure. I didn't read update 2 though until now. So FR is no more and 20 of the guys are now Pumpkin Beach?

Yeah, considering one of the founders owns it though, they should be able to get the TS licence. (hopefully)

The hits just keep coming. Word going around is that Factor 5 folded up today.

The "official" word is now that 140 people are laid off, but the company will fold completley if they don't find a buyer.

Crytek have bought them and saved 40 jobs, but no-ones sure about IPs yet.

I hope so, CryTek engine powered Timesplitters :D

Yeah I head about this. We'll see what happens.
