Crytek x Free Radical

Dear god please let there be a Timsplitters 4

PLEASE

Yes we need a Timesplitters 4, Timesplitters is such a awesome series

TimeCrysis was the best title I could find around the 'nets.

Man screw Timesplitters. Give me more Star Wars Battlefield.  This news along with the Red Dead news bring me hope that good games will actually be released this year.  Actually make that games will actually be released.  Seriously Is there anything exciting for this year yet? CoD42 is the only other one I'm looking forward to

It MUST live on, with no fucking art style changes.

Yay,two of my favoruite developers ever combining that's awesome!

Seeing as the founders of Free Radical like Denis Doack have left and formed another development house and because the studio was in receivership with most employees gone...I would say all Crytek is really buying is the IP's and their console engines and development tools.

Oh, that's great news. 

Awesome news!

"

Reports on a rumored deal between Crytek and Free Radical Design started fluttering about last night, and this morning, it seems as if it's become official. GI.biz is confirming that Crytek has purchased Free Radical, and that the move has saved "over 40 jobs."

The details of the transaction have not been announced as of this writing. Considering Crytek's technical know-how and Free Radical's console focus, the two first-person shooter developers could make a pretty tight fit.

I want time splitters 4!

This is easy people, Timesplitters IP + Cryengine = Win. It even gives Crytek their in to the console game that they want. And gives me an IP i'm intrested in as opposed to the last two Crysis games that gave me zero personality and lost me after the half way point.

Timesplitters 4 may come out now, Crytek now gets unconditional love from me. \o/

Yes, if Crytek saves the Timesplitters series, I will personally be there dirty sex slave, you heard it here first.

Dude Time Splitters 4 on the Cry Engine. I can't Wait!!!!! Also now Battlefront 3 might get done by FR and that awesome Land-to-space-to-spaceship transition might become reality

I so want another Timesplitters.

Best. Buyout. Ever.
Well, maybe not ever, but great to hear. I <3 Timesplitters.

"Best. Buyout. Ever.

Wooo congrats to those who's jobs have been saved.

Yes! We want timecrysis!

OMG OMG OMG I LOVE YOU CRYTEK.......AHHH YEAH!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!  AHH!!!  *thud*

Free Radical's people were saved........Lets just how things are going to go from here

wow, excellent news!

Great, now make better games!

That's good news. I always loved the time splitters games.

Great merge

This is very cool, very unexpected news. I'm happy to hear this.

Wait, didn't these guys make Star Wars: Battlefronts?

Well, Crytek definitely wears the pants I will tell you that.  Plus, they make better shooters anyway.  It will be more like Crysis makes a game for PC and Free Radical tries to port it to consoles.

happy

Aw, what a bunch of sweethearts.

omg... a timesplitters with crytek's tech = sexmazing

Dear Crytek,
Thankyou

That's some cool news. Great to hear some of those free radical guys are gonna be backed up by the crytek engine. Great fit. But seriously, watch them make a pc-exclusive TS4. That would be hilarious.

Sweet. Definitely cool news.
Not a bad ending for Free Radical.

Nice! Now let's hope Timesplitters 4 can finally come. These two groups are one of the best at developing FPS games, and I can only expect great things from them.

Timesplitters 4. You will let them make it Crytek!

Timesplitters is awesome...
i want that, and a Star Wars battlefront, cause Free Radical was supposedly developing that, until they laid off a shitload of people.
