Simian Hijinks Reveal TimeSplitters 4
Some yucks but few hard facts in the first info for Free Radical's new game.
British developer Free Radical is getting in on the Halo buzz with the first teaser for the latest game in its TimeSplitters series.
In a video posted on the company's site, Free Radical pokes fun at Master Chief, giving him a simian makeover in the name of self-promotion.
Besides the short video, which shows nothing at all related to TimeSplitters 4, the company is mum on specifics about the game, saying only that it "will take the first person shooter to gaming nirvana".
There's no word yet on what system the game is coming for, and even the job ads on the company's site give no hint of where it will land. Free Radical is, however, working on a few new games already, including delayed shooter Haze, which is coming only to the PlayStation 3.
