Crytek might have scooped up the rights to Future Perfect, but it’s probably fair to say that the TimeSplitters series is currently deeper in limbo than that perpetually wandering monochromatic chap in, er, LIMBO. Or thereabouts.
Ever since Free Radical went under the future of the first person shooter series, which has a vocal, loyal fanbase, has been uncertain, with the much anticipated TimeSplitters 4 being occasionally attached to the Wii but still unseen to the public eye.
Until yesterday, when one of the illustrators originally involved with the project blogged about his work on the game, detailing some of the concept art he produced “2-3 years ago”.
We won’t spoil his thunder by dumping the entire lot, so here’s a select smattering and we suggest if you’re interested in how TimeSplitters 4 could have looked you hop over to his blog and check out the rest.
It’s a tragedy we’re not already playing this game.
