You can’t always get what you want
“You would not believe the amount of times people ask for TimeSplitters,” Crytek UK (formerly Free Radical) animator Mark Jackson told OXM at last week’s Develop conference.
“[Another installment is] just waiting for the right situations and deals to be done,” he said. “I’m not privy to that, but from everybody working at the studio — everyone, whenever we say what would you like to do next, it’s TimeSplitters.” Which is both nice and painful to hear.
“So yeah, there’s a lot of love for it,” Jackson went on. “But I couldn’t say where that goes, or who pulls the strings to make that happen, or when it would happen, but it’s certainly not something that people dismiss.”
Instead, we get Homefront: The Revolution. (Actually, we might not even get that.) Wonder how the fan project TimeSplitters Rewind is doing these days.
