hush404Got an email from Sony yesterday about updating TOS on their "stars rewards" program. I've legit not looked at this since its inception. Figured it a silly "pay for icons" thing. Took a peek after the email and was shocked to see both games and gift cards up for grabs for the exchange of the ecosystem's coins. I had a few thousand coins somehow and got me some funds that I used to nab some <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/timesplitters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#timesplitters</a> titles. I'm happy with that. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/sony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sony</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Playstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Playstation</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a>

JordySadly, most of it isn’t great.I am a HUGE fan of the TimeSplitters video games. I absolutely adore them. For anyone not in the know, TimeSplitters is a series of wacky FPS games made by FreeRadicalDesign, a studio started by a bunch of the folks who used to work at RARE and worked on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. TimeSplitters very much follows in the same vein as those previous games but with a wacky time and space hopping story that let them work in all sorts of weird characters and locations. These games really had it all: 2-player coop story, 4 player death matches with a bunch of weird modes, and single player arcade and challenge modes. I’ve probably put hundreds of hours into these games over the 20 odd years since they first released. I still go back and play the TS2 campaign again every couple of years. They are just that good! The closure of Free Radical in 2008 when they were trying to get TS4 off the ground (and had virtually completed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRiH1byxzQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Star Wars Battlefront III</a>) is in my mind, one of the great injustices in gaming history.Weirdly, there’s been a bunch of news on the TimeSplitters front in the last couple of months.First up, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/1b44h9z/is_this_a_prototype_game/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">some guy on Reddit</a> bought a PS3 on eBay and realized it had a dev build of TimeSplitters 4 on it! He recorded a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehsLVShAl40" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">video of him playing it</a> and even managed to <a href="https://archive.org/details/time-splitters-4-nov-7-2008-prototype.-7z" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dump it and release it online</a>. It appears to be a single death match map of a gothic cathedral type setting. David Doak of FRD <a href="https://twitter.com/drdoak/status/1766966330350043517" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">basically confirmed on Twitter</a> that it was a demo to try and attract studio investment (which obviously didn’t work out). Still a cool little piece of gaming history.Next up, Embracer Group had purchased what remained of FreeRadicalDesign in 2021 from CryTek (who scooped up their assets when they initially folded in 2008) and had restarted the studio and development on a new TimeSplitters! How Exciting! Welp… after the<a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/embattled-embracer-group-confirms-more-than-900-staff-laid-off-so-far-and-warns-of-more-to-come" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> recent financial trouble Embracer has been in </a>they went on a layoff spree and totally closed down FRD… AGAIN. Very disappointing and very sad for all of the developers working there who are now looking for work again.One such developer was feeling a little fed up and<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BesmfPD8fj8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> leaked an internal preview video of the TimeSplitters game they were working on</a> and… it basically looks like Fortnight? That’s kinda weird. Not exactly the type of game FRD was known for. <a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-story-of-timesplitters-next-and-free-radical-design-20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">According to Steve Ellis</a> of FRD, this is actually an older build but since then they had pivoted in a very different direction. (That whole interview with Steve is worth a read).And finally some mostly good news! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiBWysGUYes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">TimeSplitters Rewind</a>, the fan made mod project (that’s been in the works since the CryTek days), is getting close to completing TS1! What they’ve got so far looks great and I can’t wait to give it a go. Unfortunately, they are lacking in developers to get it across the finish line. Hopefully some people with the right skills will be able to lend a hand. It might be the only chance for new TimeSplitters content we ever get.<a href="https://missilepuppy.com/blog/2024/04/23/a-surprising-amount-of-recent-timesplitters-news/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://missilepuppy.com/blog/2024/04/23/a-surprising-amount-of-recent-timesplitters-news/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://missilepuppy.com/blog/tag/timesplitters/" target="_blank">#TimeSplitters</a>

ampersandrewLook, I miss old-school first person shooters too, but maybe Embracer did us a solid by cancelling the new TimeSplitters. This looks awful, and I don't mean in a "this game isn't finished" kind of way.
