Timesplitters 4 og 7 aber

Timesplitters 4 er ikke under udvikling, lyder budskabet fra Crytek UK, som førhen hed Free Radical. Det har ellers længe været rygtet, at spillet var ved at blive udviklet, og hvorfor skulle der ikke være rygter? Studiet bekræftede selv spillet tilbage i 2007 og udgav tilmed concept art, men dette var før, Crytek opkøbte dem. Om det har noget med sagen at gøre vides ikke, men Crytek UK har nu en morsom og afsluttende besked med hensyn til Timesplitters 4:

"For Timesplitters 4, with ever spiralling development costs, massive teams and endless crunch we decided on a more radical development strategy. In short, the experiment was to implement the infinite monkey theorem. With cloning being a far too expensive option, we spent all of the development budget on buying monkeys on the black market. Those seven monkeys are now sat in a room with typewriters and lots of mirrors, and we fully expect Timesplitters 4 to be finished soon. Rumours are that they haven't written any code but just tease the press from time to time. Those damn monkeys. PS: anyone got any bananas?"


English version:

Timesplitters 4 will not be coming to a console near you. That is the message from developer Crytek UK, who was known as Free Radical before Crytek acquired the studio. It has been rumored for a long time that the game was indeed in development, and it's hard not to understand why there would be rumors. The studio confirmed the game back in 2007 and even released concept art but now they are able to say that the game isn't coming. And they do so in a very entertaining way as you can see in the statement above.
