I also love TS2, and i'm really looking forward to this one.
Mouse: Yeah, it's TS3... and i'm pretty sure Free Radical are making it, only they have a different publisher now (i think). Where did you hear otherwise?

If they removed the hands, and just had floating guns like before, for multiplayer, you could still have the same gi-hugic number of characters. I have seen this done many times before, but can't think of a game that employs it. Bond maybe? (I didn't ever play it much)

Godawful. There the theme for TS.
The charecters show us how the game is more of a relaxed/fast paced shooter instead of the Slower yet more serious look of Bond or Perferct Dark.
Post by: joeamis on May 01, 2004, 06:27:18 PM
relaxed/fast paced???
I always just saw the character designs as
the work of some whacked out developer
at Free Radical, I never assumed they
were to indicate that it is more relaxed.
Each artist has his own design/take on how
he sees and depicts things, and thank god
thats the case so everything doesnt look the same.
but I always just plain hated the character
designs for TS, even though TS2 is one of
my favorite GC games, I guess the moral is it's
good to take in a game as a whole and not put it
off because you don't like one thing about it.

Second Sight seems to have the same sorta charecter design as TS. So I guess someone in Free Radical really likes these designs.

It looks like a Medal of Honor game, but.. with like, weapons that are fun to use.

Sorry!
Woah, since when was Criterion not makeing Burnout 3. I was under the impression that both games were being developed by the same developers of their preceding games. I thought that the only thins different was that EA became both games publishers.
Post by: EatChildren on May 01, 2004, 09:54:52 PM
These screens are impressive and nice, but far from blowing me away.
EDIT: Burnout 3 and TimeSplitters 3 are still being developed by the original people. Where the hell did you get the idea that they wernt? The only different thing is EA are now publishing both. Publishing is different from Developing.

Hopefully the storyline/plot is actually going to be attractive this time, unlike the previous installment. Collecting crystals to save the universe wasn't really something that caught my attention... but I've got a feeling that the plot will actually thicken in this game.

This is the kind of game Nintendo needs to get on cube
TSP2 was a great game, many people wrote it off but like goldeneye unless u get into harder difficultys...u miss out on alot of the game

relaxed/fast paced???
I hate not being able to let this go, but did you just call Perfect Dark a slow shooter? Are you high or have you never played the game? That is the fastest shooter period. Or maybe you don't know how to strafe.
Post by: Syl on May 02, 2004, 09:33:05 AM
the fact that its framerate is about 5 frames per second doesn't help =/
(I love Perfect Dark, it was just ahead of its time)

Um dude, if you read the posts before mine, you'd know
I wasn't the one who made that comment, I was responding
to it. I bought PD the day it came out... and no it's
not the fastest shooter period.
Post by: akdaman1 on May 02, 2004, 11:28:34 AM
The framerate was the worst I have ever seen ( ALMOST ). Although on its own the game might be fast, but compared to TS series its as slow as a snail ( or turtle ).
Post by: Bill Aurion on May 02, 2004, 11:42:53 AM
Perfect Dark was pretty fast for it's time, but the speed is noticable slow now that most games have a smooth and steady framerate...
Post by: odifiend on May 02, 2004, 11:54:05 AM
Also I'd like to point out that the shift to the dual stick controllers can make a game appear fast because you can turn that much more quickly. When I first played TS2, I changed the controllers to play more like PD. That could possibly have been my problem.
Post by: joeamis on May 02, 2004, 01:25:13 PM
I must admit I decided not to because
alot of responses lately from people
have done it the way I did in that post.
It's true PD was fast for it's time, and oddly
I rarely ever encountered slowdown with it.

it may not be impressive, I never played the
first one but from what I've heard it was
really designed with the emphasis being multiplayer
and thus not a great single quest,
the same can be said for TS2 to a lesser degree.
but to answer your question, TS3 from what
I've heard is supposed to grace all 3 home consoles.

This guy is the funniest dude ever. Take a look at his Signiture. Thnx for the avater Bull. LOL
Anyway TS 1 was made in 8 months. Sony came up to FR and told them they want a launch title ...in 8 months time TS was made.
TS2 was made to let FR put in what they wanted in TS 1.
Trust me I know ...I am a MAJOR TS fan of the series ( Which is best on PS2 ).

I'd have to agree with that, only because the PS2 controller is superior to the craptastic GCN controller when it comes to FPS. The c-stick makes me cry.

Oh the beauty of custom controls. I swear I have my setup that nearly copies Goldeneye to a "T".
