"Chances are if you were one of the PlayStation 2’s early adopters, you picked up Free Radical’s TimeSplitters. Featuring a compelling, time-hopping narrative; great weapons, stunning multiplayer and a cast of unforgettable characters, TS was unequivocally the highlight of the PS2’s launch period. The series went on to spawn two sequels, each one improving on the last and cementing the franchise as one of the most successful, albeit idiosyncratic, FPS series out there. "
Somehow a PlayStation prototype of TimeSplitters 4 has been unearthed on eBay, and many are waiting for the package to meet its new owner.
Excited to see these prototypes out there and I hope the internet can play them.
From the leaked screenshots, it looks better than the recent cancelled Timesplitters game imo.
Many high-profile games have been canceled. Here are the ones that should come back in some way, shape, or form.
Now that is one MP game I miss. Bring it on, provided its not messed up with predatory MTs.
I loved mag until they patched it so much it was unrecognizable a year later. They gave into people whining.
eventually even prone light machine guns couldn't shoot straight even if you tap the trigger, and assult rifles became basically the only relevant weapon. It's been so long though I don't remember all the details, but it was beyond just that. I still fondly remember it though. Get a squad of 12 friends and you could turn and entire 256 match alone
Some of these games were never played by or released to the public....how do we know they were ever actually good?
I have no clue if scalebound would have been any good... But the game was marketed well enough that I wish it hadn't been cancelled :/ To be fair loads of games that were good and sometimes great were "brought back" and were total disasters (Duke Nukem comes to mind for example).
By all counts the Scalebound shown at E3s was not what the actual game in development looked like. If such is true, or if the four player co-op thing, then its stronger reason why they canceled it. Why it was so long development before it was.
Having looked at the trailer for Scalebound I was appaled by the cringe-worthy voice acting although from the very limited time watching the battle scenes the game IMHO had potential.
Actually, the trailers were really boring and the demo of the gameplay was crap in performance. The desire for a good game has created a hype campaign in this game.
THQ, make our dreams come true
Because it's awesome.
Because its the best
Because it's fast and fun.
