Thank fuck for that, I want some more Timesplitters. Plus I'm giddy at the thought of what teaming up ex-Rare devs with the makers of Crysis will bring :D

Wow, that's actually really fucking awesome.

The TimeSplitters 4 concept art looked great, it's good to know they'll be able to continue their work. Holy shit, could you imagine TimeSplitters on the CryEngine?

If they decide to release a Haze 2 instead of Timesplitters 4 I'm gonna go nuts.

Free Radical have huge potential, hopefully it can be fulfilled with such a move.

TS4, if done properly, will win this generation.

I remember renting the first timestoppers and playing as monkeys. Jesus me and my friends had fun with that.

So you say this Free Radical guys have some ex-Rare guys on their staff? Wow, maybe I'll play a Crytek game in the future... one that's fun.

They had some guys from goldeneye/perfect dark team and they made timesplitters (which were great).

I hope a timesplitters 4 gets released :mad:

Timesplitters has never been that great. 3 was a generic piece of garbage.

It was like one of the first console FPS I played that allowed co-op play.

At least that's what I remember it for. So awesome.

TimeSplitters : Future Perfect kind of meh.

Good buy Crytek now hopefully your games will play as good as they look.

I'm hoping for an original title. Haze had potential but Free Radical fucked it up, and it failed miserably.

Crysis plays superbly.

Was Timesplitters the light gun one? If yes it was pretty awesome.

I'm a little annoyed this is an old thread and I still haven't heard anything that's come of Crytek buying Free Radical...

I liked Crysis. Well, I liked it once you started fighting the aliens.
