TimeSplitters 4 details have been few and far between since its official reveal, but the folks at PSM3 (PlayStation 3 Magazine) have snagged a few details on the upcoming shooter.

According to Derek Littlewood of Free Radical, TimeSplitters 4 won't utilize the heavily-criticized Haze graphics engine. Instead, Free Radical opted for some "new and double shiny tech."

While this all sounds good, the game is still early on in the development cycle, and won't see the light of day for a while. What may come a bit sooner, if PSM3 is to be believed, is a TimeSplitters 2 remake in HD, which would most likely be released on the PlayStation Network. It would certainly get folks excited about the new TimeSplitters, that's for sure.

    Timesplitters2 HD with online multiplayer features would definetly be interesting. Managed to get 100% completion but it doesnt matter too much since all I really need is my main char (undead priest) and couble of P90:s and boxes of bullets :D

    • 7:55am BST - August 31st, 2008

    Yeah!!! TS2 HD is a must buy for me too! Can't wait for TS4! Hope it's gonna be brilliant like its predecessors! :D

    There were parts of TS2 that I thought were better than TS3, I would like to see this game in HD but will it have everything in it or just the online stuff because TS was my favourite game of last gen because it was LOOOAAADDED with content and I'm pretty psyched for TS4. When he mentioned TS2:HD on the PSN was that a subtle hint saying TS4 will be PS3 exclusive?? and I hope they improve the mapmaker on TS4.

    psn id: gingo... TS2:HD would be a must buy for me over the psn so its something i definitely think they should do, onto TS4 it would be a real coup for sony if they could get this as ps3 exclusive but i doubt it will happen

    I am a big fan of the series and i hope it looks better than haze, which was really a mess. TS2 on hd is highly welcomed.

    Well, for sure, anything they do now can't be worst than Haze especially if they scrap that engien but saying that and not being a TS fan i can't see TS4 being better than KZ2 or resistance 2 but I guess for you TS fans this we'll be a good change from the other shooters on ps3!
