Yerli: Crytek “discussing” TimeSplitters 4 development

Crytek boss Cervat Yerli has told CVG that the company is “discussing” the possibility of developing TimeSplitters 4.

“Yeah, we have been discussing it, but nothing has been confirmed yet, so let’s see after Crysis 2,” he said.

Crytek bought out original developer Free Radical in 2009 after it went into administration. But Yerli says he is “very confident” about the team, rebranded Crytek UK, helping to push Crysis 2, which it has developed on the multiplayer side, into a Meta 90.

“I love working with our UK friends,” Yerli said. “The team has been performing up to the quality bar easily. Our thinking was that the team had done 80-85 rated games, and we thought that with the right technology, IP and global IP direction they could reach the 90 barrier. I’m very confident that they can do that.”

The last heard on a possibile TS4 was when Crytek UK boss Karl Hilton said last year that it was “talking to publishers” about it.

Needs to be an XBLA/PSN game for maximum success.

Not really, I mean with TS you had the campagin, with 3 difficulty modes that change the levels to be longer with each one, plus the hideous amounts of levels in challenge mode and then a full mp and a map maker. Though the map maker kinda sucked.

That’s a little too much to expect from XBLA.

I know it has a 2GB limit though. I’d love to see them make all that with Cryengine 3 in 2GB, I really would.

I seriously hope it isnt a CryEngine game. Timesplitters MUST be 60fps, 30fps is not even vaguely acceptable.

XBLA/PSN release would be ideal, then maybe they can concentrate on gameplay and interesting game modes and not fuck it all up by trying to make it some kind of stupid ‘visual showcase’.
