Free Radical has super-duper-double-confirmed that TimeSplitters 4 is in development through a post on its (currently borked) website.
"It's back!" the announcement post began. "Featuring even more crazy characters, devastating weapons and heart pounding hot sweaty action. It's funny, it's frantic and it'll do things you've never seen before! No, not naked girls, even better than that!
"We can't tell you the details yet, the monkeys have a loaded banana pressed against our skull, but this game will take the first person shooter to gaming nirvana. Save the world or die laughing, Timesplitters 4 is coming to getcha!"
It's not the first we've heard of TS4, of course - Haze screen-writer Rob Yescombe has mentioned it previously, while big boss Dave Doak said just the other day that he hoped the game would appear on Wii.
Other platform and release date details are still to be confirmed, although we obviously suspect PS3/360/Wii, and Doak's comments suggest we won't be hearing much more for a while yet because development is still quite preliminary.
Are you excited about TimeSplitters 4 on Wii/PlayStation 3/Xbox 360?

Please be on PS360 and not just Wii.
But yeah, this is great news - hopefully it will live up to the gaming nirvana which was TS2. |

@bdc
what the balls? I'd much prefer to see bigger environments, more enemies on screen and thanks to the standard HDD a better less limited map maker and a VERY high possibility of online co-op. On the wii it'll essentially be TS3 with Metroid Prime controls, not entirely a bad thing but I want what I just stated above. How the hell does putting it on the PS3/Xbox 360 make it generic and not so on the Wii? |

Actually I'd rather it go on Wii than PS360. We need a change from the norm in the world of FPS, and Timesplitters' graphical style fits just fine on the Wii. Please don't make it another generic FPS by putting it on the boring tired consoles Free Radical.
I would agree with you where it not that the controls would end up inaccurate and just turns 'press A' into 'waggle your controller up'. Better online support + Better graphics + Better controls > innovation that doesn't work. Zeropunctuation on the escapist put it nicely I believe. |

Loving the opening video on the website.
This is why I love TimeSplitter games, they don't pretend to be or act like any other FPS, instead they take the piss and offer an alternative form of FPS enjoyment. Another thing I admire about TimeSlitters is the ability to use bots in multiplayer, so that if you haven't got online play, but still have a couple of mates round, you can fill the map up with AI for more fun. The AI might not be superb (then again it could be for TS4), but it's still good to be able to have bots in offline multiplayer. It's one of the things which still gives TS a minor advantage over the Halo games offline-wise. |

Maybe they'll go the Terminator 3 route of the Splitters were inevitable...
Anyway, the story's never really mattered too much, so I'm not to fussed about how the Splitters come back. /Hates Terminator 3. |

And this is were it will trip up i think. the quirky characters thing is getting stale. |

I dunno, I'm still looking forward to the daft characters, monkeys and all.
If it has decent split-screen multiplayer, loads of zombies, aliens, silly unlockable characters, game modes, weapons, and MONKEYS, then all will be as intended. Story is irrelevant, I won't mind if there is one but it won't keep me awake at night if there isn't. |

If there's still going to be jumping around random time periods (of course we will be!) we need a) pirates and b) dinosaurs.
You reading this, FRD? Piratesanddinosaurspleaseandthankyou. |

Brilliant news! I hope they continue to allow you to play against bots in multi-player as it's always a good laugh with some friends round, oh and co-op through the story mode [if it still has a story mode??]! Finally, I hope they bring back the 'haunted mansion' level from the first game with some hi-def gloss!!

I'll echo the other comments. Great character design sold me on this series since TS2, and I had great fun with Future Perfect's single-player. Retain the humor, expand the map maker, and keep bots aboard, and I'm sold.
