[QUOTE="WasntAvailable"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"]See, this is what they get for leaving Rare. :|
Now maybe they can crawl back to the company that made them famous and get to work on a proper sequel to Perfect Dark.
Yeah...I'm really bitter over the fact that much of Rare's best talent left the company to go form Free Radical in the first place. Because of that, instead of an awesome prequel to my favorite game of all time, we got Perfect Dark Zero. While I still stand by it to this day and say it's good, it doesn't have any of the charm, wit, or appeal that the N64 original had.

Yeah, but with FR we got Timesplitters, Timsplittters 2 and Timesplitters Future Perferct, three of the best FPS games ever made. Now we wont see a real sequel :(. I would rather have TS over an old throwback to the days of the N64. TS was just something else, a truely addictive multiplayer and great sense of humour that would keep you playing for days, even against bots.
I'm not denying that TImesplitters was a great franchise and one that will be missed but, well, you put it perfectly in your own post. It was a throwback to the N64 days. Timesplitters is arguably the advancement of what they were trying to accomplish with Perfect Dark and Goldeneye; what we would've gotten if the N64 had two analog sticks, perhaps. They could've made Timesplitters if they were still at Rare, heck, they probably could've put PD on the back burner for a while while they focused on TS. With Rare's full talent behind it, who knows? Timesplitters could've been even better than it was.I doubt it, teams don't just seperate for no reason. I'm willing to bet TS was offered as a concept at one point, with alot of backing, but something must have gone wrong. Mabye some big shot turned it down. On any account, I doubt Free Radical would have been formed had it not been for some form of disagrement.
