lolCrytek.

At least that would mean not wasting money on their games anymore.

:lol:

Welp, I guess this means Timesplitters is officially dead. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Well good luck supporting that on the consoles.

Never know. Could get an awesome resurrection like Tribes did with Tribes Ascend.

multiplayer was sure fun in TS, but arent we forgetting how solid the SP components were? TS2 is still to this day one of the best FPS singleplayers around.

Dissapointed Crytek you basically wrecked Free radical and sitting on top of an IP with a good following congrats your now MS level douchebag.

CRYTEK MAKE TIMESPLITTERS RIGHT NOW YOU REJECTS!! nobody wants crysis, there's a reason why crysis 2 sold like a sony exclusive, it's because nobody wants it!!!!!!!

Hmmm....interesting to say the least. I'm looking forward to playing their F2P and cast judgment. I hope they don't go under.

F2P is teh future

Interesting decision. My problem with F2P is that I have yet to see a rich F2P singleplayer game.

playing Graphics King games for free? I could get into that :P

Props for remembering the Shareware times ;). I doubt that this is what Crytek and others have in mind though.

yeah but this is a prime IP were talking about and considering they are sitting on a surefire hit in tems of TS4 especially in the story department.

TS multi is good but i always loved it for its charming SP and if Crytek are moving to the F2P movement doesnt bode well with me as a fan of the franchise.

Just feels like they bought them for the manpower over anything else despite there being an amazing IP there, similar to how MS and Rare ips..I dont care if they saved them what im more bothered about is how over the past 3 years of ownership they have done Jack siet with Crytek UK appart from the Crysis 2 MP and homefront 2.....

They make more money off of licensing their game engines.

Outside of Crysis they don't really have boxed games. This isn't a big loss. As long as the keep pumping out grpahics engines I don't really care what kind of games the company makes.

I don't think that's entirely true.

I see them continuing to put out $60 retail games, whether they intend to right now or not.

Also, something something epic.

seeing as how they are known for the singleplayer games and game engines I cant see this being a smart move

f2p = pay the price of a game for an item.

Aww no more overrated Halo clones from from Crymehk?

free2play

pay2pretty (change the look of your character, does not affect gameplay, functions identically to items already in the game) ex: mounts, armor dyes

pay2win (equip your character with items and boosts that affect gameplay) ex: gear, drop rate boost, exp boost

So the one-hit wonder finally bows out, eh?

Oh, well. Happy trails, Crytek. We hardly knew ya.

I guess this means there are officially zero chances for a TimeSplitters 4.

not surprising you cannot make money on the pc unless...
1.you make facebook games.
2.you release it on steam only with its constant on drm.
3.go f2p so its server based and its almost impossible to pirate.

Silly. F2P is becoming far more popular, but I wonder if this is the best move for them. I guess they would now (or I would hope).

Prove this assertion.

Or ignore me, which is your usual "go to" choice when I respond to your asinine statements.
