Timesplitters 3 to be produced by Electronic Arts

Not Eidos but EA will be bringing Timesplitters 3 to the consoles.The game(published by Free Radical Design) is the first TS game that will not be developed by Eidos.

The first 2 TS-titles sold approximately 2 million copies.It is not yet clear on what console TS 3 will appear and it will be in 2005 that the game ships to the stores.


God I love Timesplitters 2!It\'s the best fps on a console hands down.

First of all it was Free Radical that developed both of the Timesplitters games. Eidos was the publisher.

Second: I\'ve got no second...

so what is Free Radical\'s next project? Maybe they gave up Timesplitters in favour of a more serious shooter (i.e. Killzone)...?

TS3 should be very good if its anything like the first two.

hmmphhhhh, i dop not really like ea, i hope they dont put there overly arcadey feel on it

I think you got that backwards.... EA is gonna publish it, while Free Radical will still develop it.

Yeah because we all know the Tony Hawk games don\'t have the arcade feel to them (sarcastic smiley)


Don\'t get me wrong though Kopking,I love the Tony Hawk series(although I have yet to play Underground).

PS2 only?  Odd...  That\'s what it seems like so far, but would be rather odd since TS2 made it to all platforms.  I guess we won\'t know for sure until they tell us.

I think you have it backwards.

Free Radical will be the developer and EA will be the publisher. Distinct difference.  It seems unlikely that all of a sudden Free Radical would be able to publish a game , espically when it\'s a series they have developed.

I don\'t understand your point?

Skate games and FPS are completely different.
If he wanted realistic skating he would really go skating.

Not that you were talking to me......

......goes back under rock. :eyemouth:

What in the hell does Tony Hawk and TimeSplitters have in common? Other than the fact, they are both over-rated series...

Either way, it\'s a completely different situation. Free Radical will develop TimeSplitters 3 (unlike the first poster\'s claim). EA will publish. Just like NeverSoft develops Tony Hawk. Not sure who is the publisher on that one as I never cared for the series.  Yes, the publisher does have some say on how the game will turn out, but for the most part, on an established series like this a company like EA isn\'t going to make the developer change the formula too much. It\'s more of a matter this was just an easy franchise for them to pick up and get some money off of.

The arcade feel!!     *LIC goes back to reading school*


I was just surprised that kopking didn\'t like the arcade feel to the game(Timesplitters 2) whereas the Tony Hawk series is dripping with arcade-feel.


That\'s all folks.

Maybe Electronic Arts aren’t as incompetent as Eidos.. Remember Eidos made TS2 offline, just a few months (weeks?) before it was released.

This bodes well for TS3 to be online.... at least for ps2.

i know what you are saying , but i mean for me anyways, ea seems to dumb down games a lot
