New fangame splitterbros
Since we all know Rewind is vaporware and never coming out, there's a new fangame that rebuilt the gameplay and ported all the assets (characters, guns, maps, animations etc) from TS1 - FP and put it all in one game
At least we have something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLo1jyRCULE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKFcM-d-rOY

So is the general gameplay style meant to be more akin to TS1-2? Going off how the weapons swing when looking around

>>714953448
Yea the weapon bobbing looks more like TS2 to me
I guess the gameplay style is more similar to that, even the grenade bouncing from the S47 looks like how it did in TS2

>>714953259 (OP)
Oy vey shut it down, my goy pennies!

>>714953259 (OP)
>Since we all know Rewind is vaporware and never coming out
say it ain't so.

>>714954248
i love weezer too

>>714954248
It's been over 10 years across multiple engines with multiple teams and every now and again they post an update video but god damn they still haven't released shit. And what they do have looks good, too bad we can't fuckin play it.

>>714953259 (OP)
Just let it die already.

>>714954308
You shouldn't tell that to people.

>>714956319
the updated graphics look like shit and that's what taking to so long for it to come out, This Arcade thing is exactly what Rewind should have been from the start.

>>714956682
Nahh, I think they're clean.

>>714956363
It’s already a skeleton propped up on nostalgia and old forum hype. Rewind is basically the Duke Nukem Forever of fangames at this point. At least these new projects like SplitterBros are doing something instead of spending another five years polishing the water shaders no one asked for.

Here's a more in-depth video.

Why can't you just accept that this plays like ass.

>>714953448
I assume it's mod of the PC version of TimeSplitters 2 that was included in Homefront Revolution.

>>714963357
That's a separate thing I'm pretty sure.
Fun fact: there's a mod that uninstalls EVERYTHING from Homefront 2 that's not essential to playing the TimeSplitters 2 port and it auto-loads into it.

>>714963357
This new one isn't based off the Homefront port, the gameplay was remade from the ground up in UE5 with all the assets being ripped from all three games

>>714953259 (OP)
TimeSplitters is one of the most cursed franchises ever. I celebrate once this released.

Getting tired of compartmentalized internet.

ts1&2 are better than fp in every way aside from ts2 stick aiming which you get used to anyway

>>714964528
it's not like the act of only sharing mods with specific forum/irc members wasn't a thing in the 00s. obviously way less common sure

>>714964550
Future Perfect's campaign is great. I know it was basically not even a consideration in the previous games but EA told them to make knockoff Vin Diesel do a big action story mode and Free Radical knocked it out of the park while staying true to their vision. I'll remember those cutscenes until the day I die.

>>714953448
It's already dead. That shit is fucking dated.

>>714964671
I'm talking about subjects popping up only when I directly interact with them in real life. I know the Bogdabots see it and send a signal through exosNet to give the command to create a thread whenever it's happening.
>noOoOoOo it's actually some psychological biais with a gay name making you notice them more than if you didn't become familiar with such materi-
Yep. It's the Bogdabots.

>>714964879
Yeah idk how you can play Future Perfect's campaign and think the previous games could possibly be better.

>>714965036
Hmm, I WAS thinking about making a TimeSplitters thread in the shower before this one popped up...

So can you actually download it or is this another skerit klub discord drama?

>>714964879
>all the retarded wormhole shenanigans
>that multi-Cortez hacking mini game

It's time to savescum

>>714965072
2 was a refined Goldeneye and I like the arcade and challenge content more but I agree that Future Perfect's campaign is top notch and a perfect time capsule of the end of the 6th gen. The only game I can't really go back to is 1.

>>714965269
I love how they replay the cutscene exactly the same as the first time after going through a wormhole. There's something extra satisfying seeing it again but knowing you're the other dude.

>>714965453
>I need your robot, some other guy took it from me

>>714962016
I love sluts

never got why 2 is so highly rated especially on here

>>714965224
I did not see a link so it's either a closed beta skerit klub for now until they release a public one (assuming they don't implode) or or it's sitting in some discord I don't care to join or somewhere else and I didn't see it

>>714965634
corporal who?

>>714965224
>>714965634
Probably for the best considering how fan projects with any public presence get nuked from orbit all the time.

>>714965741
Ahh nevermind
>>714965746
Given how Rewind or the Homefront port never got shut down I don't think there's anything to worry about when it comes to TimeSplitters fan projects

>>714965945
Hell yeah, haven't seen this one in ages.

>>714966060
Given how Rewind has had the IP holder's blessing (with various stipulations attached) and how the Homefront 2 port was done by the developers themselves in secret under the company who had the rights to it anyway, I don't think it's quite the same.

Timesplitters 2 is the best one by far.

>>714965072
They are different campaigns. FP is very good, and great story/characters that 2 was missing a lot, but there is a downside that is the loss of Goldeneye/PD/TS2 level design and mission structure. The way playing on easy was just go do main objective and when raising the difficulty would add more objectived and barriers to deal with (not on all levels, sure, but it would be nice for FP to expand on that and it went the other way around).
I love both, the best levels of 2 are amazing and on hard you have this endurance test of skill and speed that isnt present in FP.
Thematically ts2 is like an anthology while FP is a single story, something that i also enjoy a lot

>>714966250
If you have shit taste, then sure.

>>714966331
>t. baby who needs crosshairs on

>>714966309
Also love that while FP is much more traditional they still kept the options to aim like the old games, no crosshair with strong auto aim. Also them aiming you could have a centered crosshair or have it moving freely

>>714964879
>make vertical slice for your time travel vidya that looks like it's taken seriously
>pick up on TS shenanigans after given the green light

Clever.

Most of the FP maps are kinda shit though - especially the blimp map which is waaaaaaaaaaay too much space between spawns and pickups meaning most of the time you are just running around with nothing to do.

>>714966646
ok but it has cool music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwu9KgYZNU

>>714966797
Nah, not when we have bangers like scrapyard.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf2G_e1PsgY

>>714966646
Honestly kind of agree with this
Probably a hot take but I hate these FP maps
>Vietnam
>Zeppelin
>Mars Prison
>Siberia (only fun for sniper fights which gets old fast)
>VR
The only TS2 maps I hate are Training Ground (just boring) and Robot Factory (too small open)

Timesplitters 2 was the most unexpectedly fun game I ever played. I assumed it would be shitty from cover alone.

>>714967034
assuming you're talking about the ntsc cover. pal cover is kino

>>714967034
First time playing it I hated it since im an esl, so i went to arcade completely confused and couldnt understand the inverted aim.
So i just played Halo. A year later went back to ts2, loved it, but still didnt know you could change the aiming controls so for some years I would play ts2 as the only inverted aim game

Nobody brings it up but I think the TimeSplitters: Future Perfect announcer should go down in history as one of the all-time great vidya gaem announcers.

>WAH
>HUWAUHHH
>OUOOH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgWwQBaD2dw

>>714966937
I just find most of the maps needlessly maze like which leads to a lot of boring hunting enemies down in a way the TS2 maps don't suffer from. Like the underground bunker map is just running through a whole bunch of same looking grey tunnels going through doors. The azetc themed one is just two separate areas they blatantly just glued together without any thought to how running gun battles work so you just get this inside vs outside divide that kills pacing.

Compared to say...chiense or mexican mission where these maps flow much better from enclosed indoor to wider outdoor sections. that tunnel connection in chinese was the right decision though in FP

>infection
>hangar
>only mines weapon set
oh yea its time to split

>>714967342
Probably should've posted these too, even if they're just level-specific announcements.

>>714967152
probably why it ended up in the bargain bin where I found it

same thing happened to me! though not ESL, just dumb

2 > FP > 1

>>714969741
Do you think their FPS ever hit the markets?

>>714970287
amen

>>714970604
Alright, I think I'm out of these.

>>714965036
Tahu they have downloaded the file

>>714953259 (OP)
this is further along than rewind ever was which is pathetic on rewinds part
would like to see some online multiplayer or a build to play with
something about this whole thing stinks though
>2024 build, why not a recent 2025 build? did the project die in 2024 and thats the last build of the game?
>is this a leak? why do only speedrunners have it?
I ultimately doubt this will go anywhere but its a neat little project.

>>714971179
>further along than rewind
I'm not trying to jump to defend them but they are operating in different scopes. Rewind also has had some retarded IP holder bullshit to work through.

>>714964971
Timesplitters 2 is the Pinnacle of fun death match fps.

>>714972574
No that is halo.

>>714972146
what IP holder bullshit? kek
Who even owns timesplitters right now anyway? i doubt the current rights owner gives a shit or even knows about what rewind is
rewind has alot more problems than ip related

>>714953259 (OP)
WAIT, I RECOGNIZE THOSE TEXTURES.

FUCKERS RIPPED THE TEXTURES FROM THE GAME. OH, WELL NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW.

>>714973057
>what IP holder bullshit?
Crytek. Since they were kind of working under them or maybe with their blessing they had two choices with the engine. They could use Cryengine or they could use something like UE4/Unity but then Crytek put a bunch of stipulations on what they could do with it if I'm remembering correctly. Then later down the line they had to switch engines and throw out a shitload of work anyway iirc.

>>714972146
Rewind only had to get permission when the rights were owned by Crytek but when Koch Media (a subsidiary of THQ Nordic) purchased the rights the Rewind devs never asked for permission and kept "working" on it

THQ Nordic still owns the rights (for now) until they feel like selling them off and they haven't said anything about the series whatsoever
TimeSplitters is too niche of a series for a publisher to give a shit what the fans are doing

>>714973672
Was gonna say but yeah the anon above put it best
Crytek has fuck all to do with this nowadays
if we want to be generous and say development only mattered when they switched to ue4 back in 2019
thats 6 years of fuck all with the game looking the same as it was back in that engine switch demonstration
rewind is a dead project masquerading as one with a pulse

>>714965801
>slut
>that ladder cinematic
I know everything was so different back then but honestly how did they get away from this? She is obviously a goth teenager

>>714974196
>how did they get away from this?
There was nothing to "get away with" back then
It was just how things were

One of the art guys who worked on timesplitters draws a truly unholy amount of smut - he used to have it on his website but I don't remember his name.

>>714974196
devs were allowed to have fun

>>714974196
>She is obviously a goth teenager
I think only psychos ask things like "how old is the video game lady with big boobs that shoots zombies in the face? I need to know if I can jerk off to her"

>>714974501
ben newman

>>714974643
>0:16
she unironically has better facial animations than a lot of modern triple A slop. hell it's the same issue with most of the nu animated disney movies it feels like people are talentless these days

>>714974501
That was Ben Newman, what a based artist he was
Not only did he make all the designs for all the characters but he also made the majority of the 3D models in the first two games
He literally is what makes TimeSplitters, Timesplitters

>>714975138
>>714975903
So the coomers were right all along but we were not ready to face the truth.

>>714972827
Timesplitters was more fun than halo.

>>714976273
Truth nuke

>>714976273
I think a big part of Halo's appeal (at least with 3) was its physics and vehicle combat. That game had Source Engine levels of environmental interactivity and did it way better for general gameplay.

>>714975413
Probably the animation director that kept the consistent high quality in check if i were to guess
seeing him work on team fortress 2 after moving on from free radical, tracks pretty well.
see alot of overlap between the animation style

>>714976084
Believe it or not but TimeSplitters is less coomer than Newman's art

>>714978186
He must be a true coomer then.

>>714979016
he wanted you to be gay

STUPID SEXY RABBIT

>>714979489
We had a laugh about it later and spent a lot of time over the years playing splitscreen virus mode. He loved it. I think he's playing death stranding and ace combat 7 currently

>>714979545
I think he'd love me either way

I just want it on Steam with server hosting.

Jinki is freaky

Virus was the best mode ever. Nothing like trying to avoid the flaming hordes of bots with your bros while trying to sabotage each other’s escape.

Shame she never returned. I liked the whole depressed “fun bunny” thing she had going on.

Amazing. Also takes serious talent to create this much diversity between "big boob-ed lady with gun," even within simple designs.

>>714980229
>"big boob-ed lady with gun
GOD WILLS IT

>>714980063
>toned down because EA
EA allowed Jo Beth in the game with her slut tshirt and any of the other characters with the huge tits plus that one character that literally shakes her ass at the camera.
Im pretty sure EA just said that Cortez has to look like Vin Diesel kek

The amount of attempts it took and seething from teenage me was incredible.

Seeing TimeSplitters in Sean of the Dead was pretty cool.

Alright, is this another god awful unreal 5 FPS slop remake? There's no way an actual dev would allow that shit FOR PS2 MODELS

So how does one dance like a monkey?

DO THE MONKEY!

love all the versions of her, soft spot for 2

>you will never get to see her in her post-bad girl phase
feels bad man

>>714988458
I remember a bunch of assets were posted from the RECENTLY cancelled TimeSplitters 4 project. This series really is cursed, isn't it?

Remember that effectively all of TIMEPSLITTERS 2 is inside of the game HOMEFRONT THE REVOLUTION which is 85% off on steam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LY4Iuup_pg

bampu

>>714989595
apparently they originally cancelled it because the marketing department couldn't figure out which of the hundreds of characters to put on the cover
the obvious answer being a composition of Cortez at the top, Harry Tipper on the left (interchangeable with Captain Ash), Jo-Beth Casey on the right, and a monkey at the bottom

that or just the main character Corporal Hart

>>714990824
You can also just torrent it. That works fine too.

>>714989595
the timesplitters next project was such a shit show. i know the devs tried to save face saying it was pivoting towards a ts2 direction but thats not what i saw so who cares
the ts4 ps3 build was infinitely more interesting, love that early period of ps3 / x360 era where all the new games were ps2 games at heart with a new gen coat of paint on it
shame it doesnt run on rpcs3, would be fun to at least try

>>714990824
>they included the shitpost clown girl used in the original TS2 to bypass German law

>>714989595
The fornite clone? Nha I'm goood

>>714995139
how was she used to bypass German law in TS2?

>>714995717
I dont know if it was actually passed at the time of TS2, but game devs started to self-censor by including stuff like green blood and no overt gore. The zombies in TS2's Notre Dam level had gory zombies so they replaced them with this clown girl and some other circus characters. Because in Germany you can blow the head off a clown so long as the blood is green.

>>714993658
this guy managed to get it to run on rpcs3 but he said it's still unstable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRflzGJfMAs

>>714979583
You can really see the N64 era Rare in this design, and how it bridges the gap between that period and the stylized humans the series would become known for.

>>714988127
> With a bit of lubrication, I'm ready for anything.
Her hood in 2 was really cool. I didn’t mind the casual wear in Future Perfect though.

>>714996615
interesting, worth a shot to play around with the settings he got
thanks for that callout

>>714996615
meh i aint getting this
furthest i gotten was to 1 on screen before locking up kek

Corporal Hart was always the best girl. Jo-Beth is a close second though.

>>715000505
best girl is gretel mkII

>>715000505
literally who?

I've been wanting to check out these games because I enjoyed goldeneye and perfect dark, but I'm also spoiled by the mkb mods for those. am I correct in understanding that:
>timesplitters 1 doesn't really have a campaign and can be skipped
>timesplitters 2 has a secret pc port that works great
>future perfect can be played with a mouse injector on dolphin but it's a bit jank

>>715003847
TS2 can be played via a mouse injector in dolphin too. Not that these gamers were designed for it as mkb makes them waaaay too easy.

>>715004429
yeah but isn't the pc port of ts2 the full game, so there's no reason to use the hacky injector when the real deal is right there? or does it not have the campaign story stuff? and I know it can make things easy (goldeneye and pd were also definitely not made with easy headshots in mind), but I assume it's like the other two where it has higher difficulties that add extra mission requirements and stuff to the levels?

>>715004672
The version in homefront - last I checked - has everything unlocked by default and doesn't save anything you do.

>>715003847
>TS1
The only TimeSplitters game that has a real campaign is FP but all of the games follow the same format in its level design
You can leave 1 for last if you want though since hard mode filters people
>TS2
The homefront port does work but it automatically unlocks everything by default so you may as well just use the dolphin version with the texure mod
>FP
Better to play with a controller, using MKB makes the games way too easy to the point it's very boring
FP is already the easiest game of the trilogy, it doesn't need to be made any easier
