Well it seems that FR has left the bizarro, non-proportional character designs behind...Oh well, I hope they keep Virus for multiplayer... ^_^

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #2 on:** May 01, 2004, 10:59:44 AM »

They have hands holding the guns now?

Expect less characters.

That is awsome. Did anyone else notice the barrel in on of the screenshots. Its looks like you could pick it up and toss it at the enemy. This game looks alot more serious. The charecters, the scenery ...everything.

Being an owner of TS and TS2 I cant wait.

Syl · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2004, 01:04:44 PM »

my god thats beautiful compared to TS2, i love it. I really hope they manage to keep the cube version online like the rumors are saying. I'm a gigantic fan of TS2, and I know I'm going to love this one.

What is this game? I've never heard of it. If this is Timesplitters 3, or at least was, then I wouldn't get your hopes up for it being too good since Free Radical isn't making it, so I've heard. :\

Mario · « **Reply #6 on:** May 01, 2004, 01:13:35 PM »

Wow that looks great! =o

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?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #7 on:** May 01, 2004, 01:18:09 PM »

Mousie has just confused me x 100...Free Radical is developing, EA is publishing...

joeamis · « **Reply #8 on:** May 01, 2004, 01:25:47 PM »

thank god they're moving away from those gawdawful
character designs in the previous two!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #9 on:** May 01, 2004, 01:27:08 PM »

And BECAUSE EA is now publishing, that's probably why TS3 is NO LONGER listed at http://www.freeradicaldesign.com. EA is probably taking over the game's media/publicity. TS3 and Second Sight were announced at the same time. Second Sight has since, I think, been acquired by Codemasters.

MattVDB · « **Reply #10 on:** May 01, 2004, 02:07:59 PM »

I don't necessarily think that there would have to be less characters if they modeled the hands for 1 player/co-op mode.

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.

"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."

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.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2004, 07:30:26 PM »

I know EA is publishing Free Radical's games now, but I heard somewhere that Free Radical wasn't making Timesplitters 3 and were instead focusing on Second Sight. Maybe I'm thinking of Criterion and Burnout 3. o_O

Sorry!

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

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #15 on:** May 01, 2004, 08:58:58 PM »

Good ol' EA. At least TS3 on GameCube will actually be avaliable to buy in SHOPS, unlike TS2, where you had to travel to the MOON. >_>

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

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.

EatChildren · « **Reply #17 on:** May 01, 2004, 09:54:52 PM »

Hopefully the game wont keep this ww2 look and style. The last thing we need is another ww2 rehash game. As long as they throw in some crazy weapons and try not to make it a "realistic" shooter I'm happy.

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.

anubis6789 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2004, 12:30:54 AM »

I'm not to worried about the WWII theme, considering it is a time travle game. (BTW most of those screens look more like Pre WWII or WWI anyway) The only thing that bothers me is that everyone still has "mittin" hands.

Zero_Plague · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2004, 12:42:09 AM »

Well, when compared to the previous two Time Splitters games... I have to say that I'm now actually interested with the third. I actually happen to like the WWI/WWII theme to the game. Gives it a much different atmosphere... not to mention that the scenery actually looks a lot better this time round.

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.

Nephilim · « **Reply #20 on:** May 02, 2004, 03:07:59 AM »

they game looks awsome
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

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #21 on:** May 02, 2004, 04:48:14 AM »

Dude, just what is everyone's beef with FR's choice of character design? Their style definitely separates the series from other FPSers...

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.

Syl · « **Reply #23 on:** May 02, 2004, 09:33:05 AM »

perfect dark is much much slower compared to TS2.

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.
