Crytek UK wil nieuwe Timesplitters maken

Yaron Elmaliah (Noray)

Crytek UK, aka "The developer formerly known as Free Radical", wil graag een nieuwe Timesplitters-game maken. De studio is met uitgevers aan het praten over de mogelijkheden en of er interesse voor is. De Timesplitters-games waren populaire shooters in de vorige consolegeneratie, beroemd om de multiplayer.

Managing director Karl Hilton zegt: "We're talking to publishers at the moment about whether that's [TimeSplitters] a viable route or not. There hasn't been a TimeSplitters game for quite a while. Obviously TimeSplitters is a FPS with a strong multiplayer element. The question is, is that the way to go with another one, or should it go down a different route, or should we be developing a new IP altogether? It's down to us talking to publishers about what their interest is and where they see it going. If they're keen for a TS game, then we'd be happy to do one. If they'd like us to develop something new then we'd do that."

Volgens Hilton zijn de uitgevers geïnteresseerd. "Talking to publishers, everyone is aware of TimeSplitters. It's got a brand awareness that's really good. Its success in different markets was quite variable. So depending on who you talk to, they either look at it as a really successful product or as a product that was almost successful but could have done better."
