Crytek-authorised TimeSplitters Rewind in development for PC

[BoyBettaKnow]

A Crytek-authorised TimeSplitters game is in development for PC, built using the publisher's sparkly CryEngine 3.TimeSplitters Rewind is being worked on by a team of fans - including members of the original TimeSplitters staff at Free Radical Design.
Rewind will include multiplayer modes and challenges taken from the original three games, re-packaged in HD.
Classic TimeSplitters character Duckman Drake. The team plan to include over 300 familiar faces.

Online play for 8-16 players and bots are in, project manager Michael Hubicka toldCooking with Grenades. But split-screen is out - CryEngine 3 simply does not support it at the moment.
A demo is planned for December.
TimeSplitters Rewind is the latest effort by the game's fan community to get a new entry in the British cult shooter series made. Previous attempts by the 100,000 Strong for TimeSplitters 4 Facebook movement have included campaigns for the unfinished TimeSplitters 4 to be completed, or work to begin on an HD version of series highlight TimeSplitters 2.
Crytek boss Cevat Yerli has said he would love another TimeSplitters game to be made, although has pointed to the various struggling online petitions as indications that fan interest simply wasn't convincing enough.
Yerli eventually told fans that they could make a TimeSplitters CryEngine mod using assets from the original games without fear of being sued. Work on TimeSplitters Rewind began shortly after.

Got to love PC gaming when things like this happen.

I always loved the humour within the TimeSplitters franchise. This is good news!

Finally! haha

Yeah, no kidding. The word "Crytek" makes me cringe, though.

Yeah would be a little bit more excited if Crytek wasn't doing this. But it's good news.

Please please please get this done...fast!

If it's using their engine, you'll only need 3 GPUs to run it at 60 fps in HD!

Crytek isn't doing it. They're letting the community use their engine and TS assets to make a mod.
