Unfortunately however, the game was delayed because Free Radical went into administration. " There are character models and things, but we're very much at the stage still of trying to identify what makes Timesplitters good."Īnother article appeared in the Official PlayStation Magazine UK in mid-April 2008 with an image of a Jo-Beth Casey in nun's attire shown tearing a Zombie up with a Chainsaw, labelled as the Saw of Babylon. As well, information in the article 'confirmed' that TimeSplitters 4 would be using the same engine as HAZE (although, Free Radical changed their mind at a later date ), and they confirmed that character models would still keep the same graphics for the faces at least. In a PSM3 UK Magazine in early April 2008, a TimeSplitters 4 article, showing images parodying the Need For Speed series, was seen. A small trailer on FRD's site also showed the modified Master Chief picture.

Another feature in OPM showed Master Chief from the Halo series with a Monkey head. This suggests that the game may have focused more on parodying other popular first-person shooters than previous TimeSplitters titles. In the OPM article, a logo parodying the Gears of War logo was used, consisting of a monkey head in a gear. The Official PlayStation Magazine announced in an article, in late June 2007, that TimeSplitters 4 was to be PlayStation 3 exclusive.

Hubicka said the Unreal-based arena shooter hasn't slowed work on TimeSplitters Rewind at all, in fact helping speed things along.Ĭrytek has expressed enthusiasm for a new TimeSplitters game on several occasions but feels it's simply not commercially viable. The team behind TimeSplitters Rewind is also working on a commercial title, Loki’s Playground. Timesplitters Rewind has to be free, under the agreement between the team and Crytek, and Hubicka asked eager fans to donate their money to charities instead. Team members put in a minimum of five hours work on the project each week. There is no release date, beyond sometime before Christmas, but Hubicka anticipates strong demand and has said that at launch distribution will be supported by torrents and plenty of mirrors.
The first public release will be a demo, which will be "more or less a beta". Timesplitters Rewind will first release in multiplayer-only form, with single-player possible at a later ate if Crytek agrees. Sever admins will possibly be able to choose between classic and updated Timesplitetrs gameplay, for those who strongly prefer the first or later games. Hubicka said he's aiming for "definitely the core experience with extremely little to no additions". The team won't be adding any new characters, but is considering some new play modes if play testers enjoy them and fans respond well.
Dedicated sever tools are also inbound, but the team does not have an ETA. Hubicka said that a compatible version of Sandbox, the CruEngine 3 SDK, will be available at launch, allowing players to make their own levels and mods. Hubicka has plans to ask Crytek about bringing back the voice actors, too.Īs for nitty-gritty details, TimeSplitters Rewind will use a mix of scan or ballistic physics, as the original games did, and the team is looking to playtesters to help find a solution for supporting both game pad and mouse and keyboard players in the same matches. The developer hinted that a console release might be possible, and said some of the original Timesplitters staff are involved in the project. Development kicked off shortly thereafter. The multiplayer-only re-imagining of the franchise to date was green lit by Crytek itself late last year the developer even handed over the original in-game assets. We’re both very busy working on our respective projects," project manager Michael Hubicka told Cooking with Grenades. "We collaborate with Crytek as often as possible.
