This thread has been linked to the game 'Timesplitters: Future Perfect'.
Mine came earlier, just been playing it until it crashed my Cube (which hasn't happend in about a year, but never mind).
Very weird to play this after Resi 4, I don't think you couldn't get two shooting games any more different from each other.
So far:
+ Lots of humour and little touches which made me smile
+ More Captain Ash
+ Looks and sounds alot better with alot more speech
+ The stats & character gallery are back, with some old favourites
+ Intimidatingly huge amount of Challenges etc. to do
+ Doesn't look like EA have messed around with FRD's game.
- Couple of framerate slowdowns
- Pathetically weak and short opening level (the demo level)
- I seem to be crap at Arcade league.
The opening Story Level is a let down, specially since the beginning of TSP2 threw you into the sublime Siberia level. But the next level is far better. And has Captain Ash who is hilarious :)
Oh, and in the extras section you can see the credits, which has Cortez going all Saturday Night Fever on a mirror-balled dance floor. The sign on the wall says "The Big Tipper". :D

I think people hate the robot levels because robots are hard to kill and it's hard to tell when they are dead. I know thats why I hate them. the horror levels were a good addition though.

True that.
I hated the robot and alien levels in Timesplitters 2 but somehow they managed to make them a whole lot of fun in Future Perfect.

True that.
I hated the robot and alien levels in Timesplitters 2 but somehow they managed to make them a whole lot of fun in Future Perfect.
Tut tut you two :|
Great game, full of humor, most of it visual (Cortez's blank expressions) but still lovely. Most of the story mode can still be played through using "run and gun" tactics, but at least the levels were enjoyable this time - even the Machine Wars level, which I thought would be a near re-run of the Robot Factory in TS2, was excellent.
Time to split!

I like Timesplitters.
Is this the part where you say you're going and then don't?
Exactly.
Yeah right.
My opinion. I run this thing. You just live here.
