According to a recent discovery in Official Playstation Magazine, the long-awaited Timesplitters 4 is soon to be announced. This was discerned from a small snippet of the October issue was found beforehand. Take a look for yourself:
Now if you ask me, this looks pretty legit. Not only does the photo look like it was taken from a physical copy of the magazine, but it doesn't appear to be a fake as it features both a screenshot from the last game in the series, Timesplitters: Future Perfect, as well as little snippets of surrounding stories, such as where it says "seeing a Rage 2" above. If this is simply a forging or photoshop, the person who's done so has some major skills.
To further compound on this recent finding, I'll add in a little something I managed to sniff up recently as well...
This is a picture of Graeme Norgate, a famous (and extremely good) composer/sound designer for the Timesplitters series who use to work at Free Radical Design before its closure, and now works at Crytek UK, the studio which now owns the Timesplitters name. This picture, taken from his Facebook page, was uploaded in January of this year. Timesplitters 4 was announced in 2007, and FRD closed in 2008. This leads me to believe that this is either a very, very old photo, or shirts are being produced in anticipation of the release of a new entry in the series. Its also possible that this is just a shirt he had from when the game was in production, but 4 years is a long time to keep a shirt like that in such good condition, and if this was an old picture, why wait 4 years to upload it?
Either way, I can honestly say that I am eagerly anticipating the (possible) release of Timesplitters 4. As someone who puts Timesplitters: Future Perfect in his top 5 games of all time, the possibly of this game's existence brings me nothing but joy. Only time will tell if it will actually happen, but here's to hoping.
