Gaming Blend "Fans of Timesplitters looking for something positive and good to come out of the community project Timesplitters Rewind, you need not look very far. The team of 35 or so part-timers have been working around the clock to crank out content for the multiplayer-based redo of the popular shooter franchise, but the experience may not be relegated to PC gaming."
A group of fans have recreated the TimeSplitters series with the blessing of the IP holders; TimeSplitters Rewind is now available to download.
They were incredible back in the day. I had so much fun with the trilogy on PS2. Multiplayer was incredible.
Cinder Interactive has announced that its upcoming fan remake of TimeSplitters, TimeSplitters Rewind, will be released on November 23rd.
Yeah, no it won't... They clearly don't have permission from Plaion, THQ Nordic, or Embracer to legally use the lgog they stole, the IP name, or any ofhte in-game assets, maps, and designs they also stole/ripped off. As soon as the legal department see's they're planning on 'releasing' this game created around stolen assets, they'll be shut down instantly.
Why do people still continue to rip-off established IP they have no rights to? Create a new experience influenced by the IP, with original designs and a new non-copywritten name, and release that - at least it may actually see the light of day in that instance.
Valid point. However it’s derivative art, not a product being sold and not related to an actively retailed IP that this free mod project would impact in any fashion. Why not let fans have fun instead of sticking up for the mega-corp conglomerates that absorbed the now dead IP?
No shot! I seriously thought this was dead. Hadn't heard anything about it in ages, lol. Super excited if this is actually happening!
I mean there are small similarities with the HUD and character design but it looks more like TimeSplitters using Counterstrike models than what the game looked like on PS2/XBOX.
One thing I always loved was how they kept it looking like GE007/PD.
The fan remake of the original TimeSplitters trilogy, TimeSplitters Rewind has received a development update, showing off some new progress.
Now you won't have to miss them. I do agree though, some of the best multi-player I've experienced back in the day. Just below Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. Here's hoping at some point they can include the amazing map editor that used to be in the games!
Yessss! Great! absolutely love timesplitters!
any words on xbox one port?
Please happen! My favourite gaming memories are 4 player Timesplitters on ps2 with my siblings. We still laugh about it today.
This is awesome news. I hope all works out well on their end regarding all the legal stuff with Crytek.
Best fps series of the past 15 years imo.
