While I didn\'t care about the online feature much (I do not have plans on going online with my PS2 in the first place) this news really sucks for the people who were wanting for it.

"However the infrastructure is not yet in place that will enable us to incorporate an online element and still make the game\'s proposed release date. We certainly don\'t want to delay the release of one of the year\'s most anticipated games and as a result disappoint the many fans who are eagerly awaiting the game."
Bah, I\'d rather wait and let them fix it. Then no online gameplay at all... This sucks.. Oh well.

Would it of even be playable with 56k?

I recently played a demo of TS2 and I wasn\'t very impressed. No big loss for me.

Post by: IronFist on August 13, 2002, 07:36:59 PM: Lets make predictions. How long until on of those online petition things start up demanding online play? I say about another 2 hours, tops. ;)

Terrible day indeed.. although I\'ll still buy the game, this is annoying as shit.

Post by: The Daywalker on August 14, 2002, 01:41:57 AM: Things like that remind me never to take EIDOS seriously on whatever it says or makes. To remove the online feature just because they wanted to make it to the deadline, is just plain pathetic. It wouldnt hurt them to delay the game a month or 2 and finish ALL the work that was supposed to be done.

well Sony hasn\'t made a release date for the Network adaptor for Australia anyway :(

still not happy about it though....

Post by: bigrob on August 14, 2002, 01:49:41 AM: I bet, this can all be a smart money making move by eidos. They will release it now without online support. In about half a year they will release an online version, forceing people who wants in NOW, to buy an additional version. Like konami is now milking the MGS franchies for all its worth.

Eidos WILL PAY! they will either A: wait till the Harddrive comes out and make a patch that you can put on the HDD, or B: make a new version............. This still Suxors!

Post by: on August 14, 2002, 10:19:56 AM: Damn it! Timesplitters 1 imo, was one of the funnest games ever! I was hoping to show everyone my spiffy levels I made. :(
I\'ll still buy it though, just because the multiplayer is hella fun.
