Man the nostalgia I have for these games. Religiously playing them back to back back in the early 2000s with the halo games, while me and my mates were collecting bionicle, yu-go-oh, bayblade, while watching robot wars the the prequel Star Wars trilogy. It was a beautiful time to be alive. I think that was just a decade of pure joy for me
Agreed! I loved that decade as well. The Dreamcast and Gamecube were my jam, but it was so glorious. I’ve since gone back and am a massive OG Xbox collector now. It feels like collecting for the Dreamcast 2 somehow.
@@sharpdressedgoblin yeah same, me and a mate recently played through Future Perfects coop campaign, albeit my ps2 version emulated on pc and using Parsec due to living opposite ends of the country, were both in our mid 30s and we were laughing like we were both 14 again, just goes to show how great game design is key to everything
If only they'd remaster 2 and Future Perfect. It was my all time FPS growing up with a gamecube. Playing late night with my brother. These games will always have a special place in my heart.
Timesplitters 2 remains my personal favorite game of all time. As a kid, this game awed me to the core. Growing up and playing it after 10 plus years? I think it’s even better than what it was as when I was a kid… and that’s a special type of rare. I pray for a remastered collection
I was introduced to the series with Future Perfect at a friends house who had an Xbox and his other friend came to visit with a copy of it. Let's just say after 36 hours of not sleeping while wrapping up the SP and Coop and playing endless deathmatch and challenges, we eventually took "shifts" as one of us would stay up making levels for the others to play when they woke. I loved it so much it was one of the first games I bought when I picked up my own Xbox. The humor and animation, as a fan of humor and 3d animation, were perfectly tailored to me and what I valued in a video game. The insane amount of shit to do in the game only helped solidify it, and the packed in level editor made the whole disc one hell of a value proposition for the dollar. I've never really played the 2nd and 1st, honestly Future Perfect spoiled me so much it's hard to even watch footage of the first two. I was so excited for a new TimeSplitters after Haze. So unfortunate what happened.. and all efforts to try and do something with the franchise falling through with tease after tease hasn't exactly been fun to sit through either.
3 miight be my favorite but 2 is SPECIAL. Controls are a bit more clunky (there is a way to play with mouse and KB using dolphin emulator and mouse injector) and the crosshairs aren’t on screen full time, but I highly recommend playing 2. You will appreciate 3 even more afterwards
Did the same with my pal, we spent so many hundreds of hours in both multiplayer and co-op if not thousands of hours, not to mention the level editors. Definitely one of the best game series to ever be made.
This video has been sitting in my feed for a couple of weeks now! As a HUGE TimeSplitters fan, seeing the effort you put into this one makes me happy! You deserve way more support. Consider me subbed!
Future Perfect was the last game my brother and I really played together. He was getting older at the time, and he was kinda loosing interest in games in general. But man, we played Future Perfectly religiously. Some of my favorite memories I have with my brother. …about a year ago, my brother passed. And now I’m raising my nephew. Luckily, that little dude absolutely loves the Time Splitters games. We play those games almost every day. And we always have a blast doing it. I hope my nephew will look back and cherish these memories. Just like I do with the memories I have playing these games with his dad. Rest in peace Scott. I love you.
I'm sorry to hear that I lost my sister when I was younger so I know how it is. I have so many memories of playing video games with her too. Thanks for sharing mate
As a kid, Future Perfect blew my mind. It was one of the first FPS games i was genuinely obsessed with. One of my first experiences with local splitscreen. One of the first games to ever make me laugh while also feeling aware of itself.
@@SolidSnake240 yes a perfect well rounded game. good story, coop story. challenges, local pvp, online pvp plus custom maps to always make it interesting
Through these trying times I've been searching for retrospective videos about my childhood games, and this truly hits the spot. Thank you for the amazing shot of nostalgia!
How did you manage to get through the whole video without mentioning the following 2 points: The anaconda game on the map in Timesplitters 2 The fact the whole game was remade in HD and hidden in Homefront: The Revolution Minor gripes aside this is an excellent video and a very in-depth and informative deep dive into the series, in fact one of my favourite FPS games of all time. It's sad we never got a 4th game but the magic that was had across the trilogy of games was enough to cement it as one of my favourite series' of all time. I remember constantly playing multiplayer on both 2 and FP, even venturing into online for the first time on console on FP. So many fond memories with some of the most insane loadouts and customisation around. What a series and a great video. You have earned yourself a subscribe!
I had the fortune to play future perfect while growing up and it's one of the best memories I have from childhood videogaming!! The atmosphere was perfect cheese, fun and hilarious, I hope the remake will do justice to the original 😊😊
Man so glad to see you make another gem regarding the world of the timesplitter series man! Your original video on the older channel was amazing this version here with is updated view points is bloody legendary. All I can say is love love love the work man here’s to hoping one day we get a number 4 because the world fucking needs it! Solid work my man. Glad to see the favourite character is still the blissful Captain Ash 💪🏻🔥
I was first introduced to TS2 as a kid through one of my cousins, and later my best friend picked it up and we made many childhood memories with both TS2 and TSFP. My friend and I would “make video games” with their own lore and back stories for each other to play using the map maker mode (yes we were dorks). As an adult with kids now, I was excited to see them put both of these games in the Microsoft store for download on the modern Xbox consoles. I’m currently reliving my childhood and working on unlocking all the characters. My plan is to introduce my kids to this game someday.
I only played Timesplitters a bit when I was younger, but funnily enough it was the multiplayer death matches. Just running around aimlessly as funny characters shooting each other, so it was really nice to get a full context history of the developers and entire game series! I still can't believe how much effort you put into your videos, it's part of the reason I watch them - you can really feel your passion, and your use of constant video and meme references really makes your humour relatable. Keep making videos man, I've been following you since your Pokemon Nuzlockes and every video since has been a blast.
Thanks man ✊, yeah I definitely put a lot if effort into this one ha. I'll never give up... no matter how much TH-cam tries to screw me... hopefully this one stays monetized 😬.
Played Timesplitters 2 and future perfect practicaly every day for months when I was a teen that listened to Korn, Deftones and Slipknot. With my brother and a couple of friends we had a blast to complete the storie modes and in all the ridiculous deathmatches! Great video on a much loved videogame series!
No series can compare to the EXTREMELY FUN gameplay, AMAZING story & music, insane variety amount of characters, the absolute wackiness and craziness, and the absolute perfection of Timesplitters.. I grew up on this series and it seriously is the most fun games I’ve ever played !!! Not to Mention laugh out loud hilarious, there is so much heart and soul put into the Timesplitters games and it hurts so much how free radical has went through so much crap.
I didn't mind the stealth section in Neo Tokyo because it reminded me of Metal Gear Solid. I also loved the Blade Runner feel. I personally loved Atom Smasher because it made me want to optimize my strategy of getting through fast.
Playing Future Perfect first probably helped me get over some pet peeves. For instance, I always liked the first level and its guns were among my favorites in the game.
One of the best games ive ever played, this was literally my childhood, holy shit such great series.... so sad they never got a remake or a sequel..... one of the absolute best game series to ever be made without a doubt.
I can. And do. I am probably the only exception, though. While I can play Turok on the N64 with the original controller and set up, I can't be bothered to learn to play FPS's with a modern control scheme. The feeling is just so off to me. Lol! Great video, man.
Really glad I stumbled on your videos a couple of months ago with the first Digimon one you uploaded because the more I watch and listen to you talk about older games and series the more it makes me smile I often feel like the only guy who remembers half of these games like time splitters onimusha and Digimon so it’s wonderful hearing you give honest and personal reviews on them =) keep up the great work and if your ever wanting some other old games or Dormant series there’s loads to choose from like spawn in the demons hand or the breath of fire games that I grew up playing in the 90s again though keep up the great work
I’m sorry to hear that sadly we all have those days it’s all about finding the things that make you happy or distract you for me it’s painting warhammer or plying old games along with my family just remember as a content creator you managed to make me smile and I’m sure will bring some joy to many people and if I noticed correctly you were born in 91 just like myself so your not the only one getting older and nostalgic with games lol
Ha I do a bit of mini painting myself mostly for blood bowl and old warhammer fantasy though (I did a bit of 40k couldn't get into the new edition of the game come from 4th/5th). If my videos made even one person smile they've done their job.
@@sharpdressedgoblin oh nice I never got in to blood bowl but started on the old fantasy warhammer until I fell in love with the sheer crazy that was 40K I do love the fantasy stuff too but my main army are the sisters of battle is it just me or is painting really therapeutic and relaxing
I grow up playing TimeSplitters 2 in my PS2 console and was so enjoyable to play this franchise. Its good to know FRD is back to make a new TS Game, I hope they can keep the essence from the previous games into modern audience.
I heard their back, but are they making a new Timesplitters or just a remake of Timesplitters 2? You'd think they'd start by making HD Remasters for the trilogy.
the grab glove also allows you to throw stuff at enemies, I literally killed zombies and other enemies throwing stuff such a cueballs off pool tables in the mansion level to crates in others at enemies and metal bins, havnt tried exosivd barrels yet
just a heads up, the neotokyo level has an incredibly easy way to skip like 90% of the stealth section, you just go past the lady you're supposed to be following and hide in this one spot at the entrance to the sewers then wait for her to walk past you and follow her inside.
Great video mate. You've come a long way from 2018. I still cringe when I think of that dance skit sequence I took part in, but it was funny at the time! I was never a huge fan of the genre, but I've been enjoying fps games a lot more lately. It could be cause this is my 40th year, maybe my tastes have changed somewhat. I just purchased the Turok remasters on a sale and it's prompted me to go and play the lot, including the GB versions which are a lot better than I remember. I'm also revisiting Doom as I more or less missed out on the whole legendary franchise. Timesplitters 2 and 3 are getting a play through next I rekon, thanks to this fantastic video. Bring on the FPS!
Cheers brother, about time you finally gave the ole splitters a go ✊. That scene was cringe but your bit was definitely the funniest and brought it together ha.
@@retrobution1262 i love that whole video and that style of humor. i havent got round to finishing this one, halfway thru it, but this and jake's other new stuff are also very good but i just love that old style of humor because it's charming and sort of Austin Powers-like in being a bit rude, a bit crass but it's incredibly facetious so it's likeable
Planet X in TS2 was easily one of my favorite missions, but certainly Siberia was IT. I also hated Neo Tokyo to begin with but eventually loved playing it, the atmosphere is like no other. Fantastic music, visuals, and sound effects. Also the shimmering road was beyond impressive to me graphically back then (GC version, this was before always-wet NFSU launched lol)
Once I figured out where she goes on Neo Tokyo I started just hiding and waiting til she got near there before following and it always worked well. Gave me time to appreciate the ambiance and collect weapons from the windows
Yeah I do love the vibe of that level the rain and the music make it kinda chill. The design team for Free Radical did such a great job back in the day the levels all look so striking.
I somehow enjoyed the first game. It was extremely simple, but because it was short and dickish, I guess it stood out amongst other console FPS titles. Cool video.
Honestly Timesplitters 2 is goat material. I loved Future Perfect as well but there was something about the second game that was too good! I wont lie I only just 100% completed Timesplitters 2 last year on ps2 and I tell you what, unlocking every character, level and gamemode through the arcade leauge had me wanting to smash my balls with a hammer. But lucky enough it didn't ever get to that stage hahaha
Nice, thanks! I'm still playing the $#!& out of TS2 & TSFP (mostly splitscreen on series x) but recently been hacking TSFP mapmaker to find hidden NPCs ... still fun and finding new stuff almost 20years later! Fantastic games.
If only I knew that this series was a trilogy and not a duology. So I played the 3rd first thinking it was the first. So now the way I'm playing is 3rd, 1st, then 2nd
I gotta say this is a very good retrospective. I just wanted to add that I never had trouble with the first Timesplitters. In fact, hearing that you died a lot or that a majority of people have is very surprising to me. As far as FPS' go, it was the easiest one I ever played. I assumed this was the case for most players. Guess I was wrong. 🤷
I didn't play to much of this series, but I liked what I did play. The shooter game I loved when I was younger was Metal Arms. Have you ever played that one? I think you'd get a kick out of it.
Never completed Timesplitters 2 because I never got past the Neo-Tokyo level haha. Future Perfect I played constantly one of the few games I actually completed on hard as a teen back in the day
the only way i can play this game nowadays is through emulation. I would love to be apart of a community where we netplay the multiplayer together. Great content, though. I really appreciate the relaxed video essays without a bunch of loud memes being tossed on screen.
Really can't say much for Timesplitters 1, but I put a bunch of time into Timesplitters 2 on PS2. I hope it and Timesplitters Future Perfect can be remastered for both current consoles and pc. I'm pretty burned out with most indie FPS games being based off Doom/Quake game design. I'd like to see the objective based design of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, or Timesplitters return. Plus, they often had great shot reactions and death animations for enemies.
I was nuts about future perfect and I never knew it was a series until I was in my 20s lol and now I'm sad I missed out of the other games and there's no way to buy the games on modern console
You mention in the video multiple times that the series is done, so I assume you're unaware that Deep Silver reformed Free Radical under Steve Ellis and David Doak and have greenlit a new TimeSplitters entry which began development in 2021. With the gaming industry being... well, what it is, I try not to get my hopes up, buuuut... At any rate, glad to see someone who agrees that TS:FP is the series' peak. TS2 is excellent, but FP is just the superior overall package. With that said, my feelings on the approach to the story are complex. What FP does works and damn well for that matter, it's a thoroughly entertaining experience throughout and is incredibly consistent and well paced. It does a far better job of executing a narrative than 2 ever could. With all that said however, TS2's story mode had the beginnings of something special in it's game design where the levels wound up feeling like something vaguely resembling a sandbox or the beginnings of an immersive sim. The wide array of objectives and expanded levels on higher difficulties was very neat, and the story stayed mostly out of the way of the gameplay which allowed many of the games levels to achieve this fantastic atmosphere and degree of immersion that FP just couldn't hold a candle to. TS2 didn't realize the potential of this design, it didn't even come close, but the foundations were absolutely there and for the upcoming game, it is my hope they take TS2's format and iterate on it. Done right, I think the results could be downright incredible.
I've been hearing about this since I made the timesplitters vid on my old channel 5 years ago ha. So at this point I'll believe it when I see it. Would be cool to see it come back just hope it isn't bad 😬. Yeah I would love to see that a bit more of a back to basics timesplitters would be nice. Imagine a whole game of stages as good as Siberia Dam would be immense.
Shit me and my neighbor play waw he brings his tv and system and we squad up online to play tdm the gang of neighbors play diablo 3 me and 2 others couch cooping i cover chips dip and sodas other two brink smoke and booze sometimes we trade places 1v2ing each other in Conker live and reloaded couch cooping and same room squading up is so much fun reminds me of that iconic dude duck taped to the ceiling counter strike 1 meme

Man the nostalgia I have for these games. Religiously playing them back to back back in the early 2000s with the halo games, while me and my mates were collecting bionicle, yu-go-oh, bayblade, while watching robot wars the the prequel Star Wars trilogy. It was a beautiful time to be alive. I think that was just a decade of pure joy for me
Agreed! I loved that decade as well. The Dreamcast and Gamecube were my jam, but it was so glorious. I’ve since gone back and am a massive OG Xbox collector now. It feels like collecting for the Dreamcast 2 somehow.
Me and my brother playing split screen on Future Perfect, on the Dam, Spaceport music, bots, Flair guns only, just perfect times, excellent video
Cheers mate appreciate it 🙏. Me and my 2 childhood buddies must of played timesplitters split screen every weekend well into our early 20s ha.
@@sharpdressedgoblin yeah same, me and a mate recently played through Future Perfects coop campaign, albeit my ps2 version emulated on pc and using Parsec due to living opposite ends of the country, were both in our mid 30s and we were laughing like we were both 14 again, just goes to show how great game design is key to everything
My brother and I did flare guns only on the disco map
Watching this on the day Free Radical shut down again. RIP Timesplitters. Hopefully Rewind sees the light of day.
Timesplitter 1-3 has just been added to PS+
I tried playing the 1st, holy hell it aged poorly, felt like a cheap version of golden eye.
Second is tolerable, 3rd is enjoyable.
@@horror_punk_gamer9932 Holy shit really?? Gotta get my old ps5 out again
You just made my day letting me know about this lol@@horror_punk_gamer9932
If only they'd remaster 2 and Future Perfect. It was my all time FPS growing up with a gamecube. Playing late night with my brother. These games will always have a special place in my heart.
I feel as though a remaster or a relaunch would help fund a Timesplitters 4.
Timesplitters 2 remains my personal favorite game of all time. As a kid, this game awed me to the core. Growing up and playing it after 10 plus years? I think it’s even better than what it was as when I was a kid… and that’s a special type of rare. I pray for a remastered collection
Same!
I know it’s different but I very much look forward to TS Rewind
@@Weather_Nerd I’ve been waiting for 7 plus years for that!! I gave up hope lmao I heard that THQ Nordic was working on a new one but that’s a rumor
Fun fact, if you are on fire and have a fire extinguisher, if you aim down and fire, you can put the fire out if you are caught ablaze
I was introduced to the series with Future Perfect at a friends house who had an Xbox and his other friend came to visit with a copy of it.
Let's just say after 36 hours of not sleeping while wrapping up the SP and Coop and playing endless deathmatch and challenges, we eventually took "shifts" as one of us would stay up making levels for the others to play when they woke.

You deserve way more support. Consider me subbed!
Cheers mate really appreciate it 🙏.
1:03:31 Hey that's me! Great video btw. I glad people still appreciate these old games.
I loved these games as a kid. Especially Future Perfect. Recently replayed it, and it's still as good as I remember!
woah
you're a great designer buddy
Thank you for making my childhood special sir
My favourite way to play time splitters 2 multiplayer - I think the map was training ground. All weapons are remote mines. Absolute banger.
Future Perfect was the last game my brother and I really played together.
He was getting older at the time, and he was kinda loosing interest in games in general.
But man, we played Future Perfectly religiously.
Some of my favorite memories I have with my brother.
…about a year ago, my brother passed.
And now I’m raising my nephew.
Luckily, that little dude absolutely loves the Time Splitters games.
We play those games almost every day. And we always have a blast doing it.
I hope my nephew will look back and cherish these memories. Just like I do with the memories I have playing these games with his dad.
Rest in peace Scott. I love you.
I'm sorry to hear that I lost my sister when I was younger so I know how it is. I have so many memories of playing video games with her too. Thanks for sharing mate
@ thank you for the kind words.
My condolences to you and your family.

Also the map maker. You never see that feature these days.

plus custom maps to always make it interesting
Through these trying times I've been searching for retrospective videos about my childhood games, and this truly hits the spot. Thank you for the amazing shot of nostalgia!
How did you manage to get through the whole video without mentioning the following 2 points:
The anaconda game on the map in Timesplitters 2
The fact the whole game was remade in HD and hidden in Homefront: The Revolution

Bioshock is HIGHLY underrated in my opinion. That small clip at the beginning is enough to make me revisit it
Too hard on Neo-Tokyo my man. The best atmosphere of any mission of the series only second to Future Perfect's steampunk missions.
Seriously it’s a wonderful level and encapsulates what’s special about TS2, goldeneye and perfect dark level design
I was introduced to the series when i got my ps2 and a copy of timesplitters 1. That game also introduced me to two stick shooters😊
loved timesplitters so much, endless of hours of fun as a kid. Also love the Final Fantasy 9 music you put on in the background
I still say Timesplitters is one of the most underrated games. I played the first one so much back in the day.

Yes!!! Awesome video!! I love Timesplitters. Its a shame not many people know about it these days.
Cheers mate I appreciate it, it's a shame timesplitters wasn't a bigger hit than it was
the grab glove also allows you to throw stuff at enemies, I literally killed zombies and other enemies throwing stuff such a cueballs off pool tables in the mansion level to crates in others at enemies and metal bins, havnt tried exosivd barrels yet
Great retrospective video. I am going through all kind of TS content to ease the pain
Did not expect to see a random Lolo clip pop up in a timesplitter retrospective lol
Thanks for this video. Brings back fond memories and nostalgia. Got Future Perfect downloading, why not 👍
I still play these fabulous games. And quote them on a daily
Amazing video, thanks for it! Loved the game. My favorite shooting game ever.
God I loved these games when I was a kid, the monsters in future perfect scared the shit out of me.
just a heads up, the neotokyo level has an incredibly easy way to skip like 90% of the stealth section, you just go past the lady you're supposed to be following and hide in this one spot at the entrance to the sewers then wait for her to walk past you and follow her inside.
I’m not the only one 😅
Great video mate. You've come a long way from 2018. I still cringe when I think of that dance skit sequence I took part in, but it was funny at the time! I was never a huge fan of the genre, but I've been enjoying fps games a lot more lately. It could be cause this is my 40th year, maybe my tastes have changed somewhat. I just purchased the Turok remasters on a sale and it's prompted me to go and play the lot, including the GB versions which are a lot better than I remember. I'm also revisiting Doom as I more or less missed out on the whole legendary franchise. Timesplitters 2 and 3 are getting a play through next I rekon, thanks to this fantastic video. Bring on the FPS!
i loved that sequence lol
@@maydaymemer4660 Haha. I'm glad it brought a smile!
Cheers brother, about time you finally gave the ole splitters a go ✊. That scene was cringe but your bit was definitely the funniest and brought it together ha.
@@sharpdressedgoblin Yeah definitely! Ah hahaha, I'm glad lol
@@retrobution1262 i love that whole video and that style of humor. i havent got round to finishing this one, halfway thru it, but this and jake's other new stuff are also very good but i just love that old style of humor because it's charming and sort of Austin Powers-like in being a bit rude, a bit crass but it's incredibly facetious so it's likeable
Mapmaker is life.
How many maps did you actually design
@@chabbab6698 looks like roughly 120 single-player affairs (got no mates). I pretty much record everything.
Love the deepdives mate top quality as always
Planet X in TS2 was easily one of my favorite missions, but certainly Siberia was IT. I also hated Neo Tokyo to begin with but eventually loved playing it, the atmosphere is like no other. Fantastic music, visuals, and sound effects. Also the shimmering road was beyond impressive to me graphically back then (GC version, this was before always-wet NFSU launched lol)
Once I figured out where she goes on Neo Tokyo I started just hiding and waiting til she got near there before following and it always worked well. Gave me time to appreciate the ambiance and collect weapons from the windows
Yeah I do love the vibe of that level the rain and the music make it kinda chill. The design team for Free Radical did such a great job back in the day the levels all look so striking.
I loved playing the kill mode with my friends
I somehow enjoyed the first game. It was extremely simple, but because it was short and dickish, I guess it stood out amongst other console FPS titles. Cool video.
Honestly Timesplitters 2 is goat material. I loved Future Perfect as well but there was something about the second game that was too good!
I wont lie I only just 100% completed Timesplitters 2 last year on ps2 and I tell you what, unlocking every character, level and gamemode through the arcade leauge had me wanting to smash my balls with a hammer. But lucky enough it didn't ever get to that stage hahaha
They got to bring timesplitters back
Nice, thanks! I'm still playing the $#!& out of TS2 & TSFP (mostly splitscreen on series x) but recently been hacking TSFP mapmaker to find hidden NPCs ... still fun and finding new stuff almost 20years later! Fantastic games.
If only I knew that this series was a trilogy and not a duology. So I played the 3rd first thinking it was the first. So now the way I'm playing is 3rd, 1st, then 2nd
I gotta say this is a very good retrospective. I just wanted to add that I never had trouble with the first Timesplitters. In fact, hearing that you died a lot or that a majority of people have is very surprising to me. As far as FPS' go, it was the easiest one I ever played. I assumed this was the case for most players. Guess I was wrong. 🤷
You're just that good ha
Great editing mate keep up the good work
Cheers mate appreciate it ✊
I only just managed to sneak the tipper level on Future Perfect last week. Lmao.
Hell yeah, Jake with the midweek upload!
It's in the Ps+ Classic Catalogue guys!
I didn't play to much of this series, but I liked what I did play. The shooter game I loved when I was younger was Metal Arms. Have you ever played that one? I think you'd get a kick out of it.
Oh yeah I played the hell outta Metal Arns that's definitely one I need to do at some point
This British humor hits so well for the editing of this video Yooo lolol
🙏👁🙏
Great video, loved this game! I recommend Deus Ex the original think you'd enjoy it and would make a sick video.
Never completed Timesplitters 2 because I never got past the Neo-Tokyo level haha. Future Perfect I played constantly one of the few games I actually completed on hard as a teen back in the day
Yeah same I played my copy of future perfect to death pretty sure me and my best mate 100%'d it.
I still instinctively piss my pants at hearing "THE MOOSE IS LOOSE"
Well done mate, great video this
Cheers mate appreciate it 🙏
lmfao the Snow shoutout was so random
the only way i can play this game nowadays is through emulation. I would love to be apart of a community where we netplay the multiplayer together. Great content, though. I really appreciate the relaxed video essays without a bunch of loud memes being tossed on screen.
Now that would be amazing can't beat timesplitters multiplayer
I'm also left handed, I play mouse on right hand, it is a permanent disadvantage, but it's too ingrained to correct my hands
I'm like that with a few things like I play tennis with my right hand but use scissors with my left
a lot of memories...
No leftie I know uses the mouse with their left hand, wtf...
Nothing better than shooting ducks with a shotgun in one of the game's good times
Really can't say much for Timesplitters 1, but I put a bunch of time into Timesplitters 2 on PS2. I hope it and Timesplitters Future Perfect can be remastered for both current consoles and pc.
I'm pretty burned out with most indie FPS games being based off Doom/Quake game design. I'd like to see the objective based design of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, or Timesplitters return. Plus, they often had great shot reactions and death animations for enemies.
ah shit i promised to caption the original vid once you uploaded this lol. i'll get to it eventually and put it as an edit!
Future perfect is loaded in my Xbox rn and I’m grinding to 100% it, then back to 2 to keep the grind going,
Hell yeah, always wanted to do that myself... might honestly make for a good video
They should make a movie about timesplitters 2 or future perfect , I’d pick van diesel or the rock to play Cortez .
2:32 lmao
Love timesplitters 1
cant believe Siberia had the most dev time. It feels like the story maps just get better and better until robot factory.
I need to figure out how to play my old PS2 discs on my PC, cause I have such an URGE to replay TS2 and TS FP again!
Never played. Wish i had looks fun
Left-handed early 30s woo!! Team team team
Another great vid bro
wish they ported the first one on the box og, only own 2 and future perfection
I was nuts about future perfect and I never knew it was a series until I was in my 20s lol and now I'm sad I missed out of the other games and there's no way to buy the games on modern console
Great video
Cheers mate 👍
Nice vid man
Lore of Timesplitters Series Retrospective momentum 100
You mention in the video multiple times that the series is done, so I assume you're unaware that Deep Silver reformed Free Radical under Steve Ellis and David Doak and have greenlit a new TimeSplitters entry which began development in 2021. With the gaming industry being... well, what it is, I try not to get my hopes up, buuuut...
At any rate, glad to see someone who agrees that TS:FP is the series' peak. TS2 is excellent, but FP is just the superior overall package. With that said, my feelings on the approach to the story are complex. What FP does works and damn well for that matter, it's a thoroughly entertaining experience throughout and is incredibly consistent and well paced. It does a far better job of executing a narrative than 2 ever could. With all that said however, TS2's story mode had the beginnings of something special in it's game design where the levels wound up feeling like something vaguely resembling a sandbox or the beginnings of an immersive sim. The wide array of objectives and expanded levels on higher difficulties was very neat, and the story stayed mostly out of the way of the gameplay which allowed many of the games levels to achieve this fantastic atmosphere and degree of immersion that FP just couldn't hold a candle to. TS2 didn't realize the potential of this design, it didn't even come close, but the foundations were absolutely there and for the upcoming game, it is my hope they take TS2's format and iterate on it. Done right, I think the results could be downright incredible.
I've been hearing about this since I made the timesplitters vid on my old channel 5 years ago ha. So at this point I'll believe it when I see it. Would be cool to see it come back just hope it isn't bad 😬.
Yeah I would love to see that a bit more of a back to basics timesplitters would be nice. Imagine a whole game of stages as good as Siberia Dam would be immense.
Shit me and my neighbor play waw he brings his tv and system and we squad up online to play tdm the gang of neighbors play diablo 3 me and 2 others couch cooping i cover chips dip and sodas other two brink smoke and booze sometimes we trade places 1v2ing each other in Conker live and reloaded couch cooping and same room squading up is so much fun reminds me of that iconic dude duck taped to the ceiling counter strike 1 meme
