TimeSplitters 4 Wii likely

By Tom Bramwell Published 25 September, 2007

FRD wants to do it.

Free Radical creative director David Doak says that he would like to see TimeSplitters 4 on Wii.

He'd also like everyone to start petitioning them to redo Second Sight for Wii, as he joked in an interview with Game Informer.

"I think it's a good thing to do," he said, when asked about the idea of doing a Wii FPS, "and I think we want to put [TS4] on the Wii."

"And I'm sure it's possible to do a control scheme that works," he added.

Early examples of Wii FPS games include Red Steel and Medal of Honor Vanguard, but Metroid Prime 3 is the one everyone's waiting for.

"Metroid is on my list," Doak told Game Informer. Good man.

As for TimeSplitters 4, the prospect of a Wii version is exciting, but we shouldn't get our hopes up about seeing it any time soon. When asked in general about the game's development, Doak said that it was happening, but that if they showed what they had done to anyone then it wouldn't look like development.

One game that is in development - and nearly done in fact - is Haze for PS3, which is due out on 23rd November.

    FRD did a great job on Second Sight on the gamecube and if they can encourage Codemasters to do Wii software, it has to be good :)

    I'd rather see it on PS360. I don't imagine the Wii will lend itself to fast-paced FPS like this particularly well. Although I have no doubt of the pedigree of FRD.

    Explain yourself instead of ignorantly posting statements. It had better be good, if not you will just leave yourself open to even more ridicule.

    Haze for ps3? TS for wii?

    Guess who's not a 360 fan?

  • Eraser #10 4 years ago

    @ JSPOOLE

    Thanks for further proving that my initial comment was correct. You made a ridiculous statement that you have failed to properly explain or defend. Congratulations on that.

    If Wii gets a game: "It should be on PS360, it would look better."

    If Wii doesn't get a game: "Wii has no decent games, LOL!"

    JSpoole you nugget. Goldeneye was the poodle's plums. At the time the graphics were amazing and it successfully integrated so many new ideas: it was the first game to successfully make use of an aiming sight (someone tells me some naff western game was the first but it was pony), it had an innovative mission structure, it mattered where you shot people, it was and perhaps still is the best movie tie-in ever. Goldeneye helped to shape almost everything that came after it, and the multiplayer was the best multiplayer on any system at the time. Even Edge said they should have given it a 10. If you don't like a genre fine, I was similarly unmoved by Half Life 2, but I can appreciate its qualities.

    10 years later and I still hanker for a game that made as much use of all the different weapons - prox mines on complex, firing the grenade launcher from the bottom floor up onto the main deck in the temple. There were so many occasions when it wasn't just mindless gunning but really thinking about your kills, firing the magnum through two doors to nail someone, or a chess like game of prox mines as you're constantly rebuilding your defences. I'm still confused as to why there's nothing like quite like that today.

    I still remember chasing that bearded freak Doak around for the pass code on facility, then shooting him in the arse and watching him shake his fist up and down like he was playing a mean maraca solo. Good times.
