Crytek, come on now. Don't make it f2p. Please?
I don't know what to think of this; hopefully even as a F2P game it'll have a decent singleplayer campaign. Speaking of which, how good was the story of TimeSplitters anyways?
Timesplitters: pretty much non-existent story. Timesplitters 2: I played it a while ago, but I found it fun when I played it but that was a while ago. Timesplitters 3: Pretty good story. I remember laughing a lot more than in Timesplitters 2. Note: Its pretty goofy (monkeys, space man!, etc.)
When a dev of crytek asked if there where enough fans to make TS4 i still had hope. Now i they are probably gonna fuck it up with Free-to-play, that just isn't a timesplitter game.

Timesplitters would actually make for a good free to play model with all the characters and stuff that would no doubt be turned into DLC anyways.
don't ruin timesplitters PLEASE
Oh god this can't turn out well.

TS2 you had to travel through our history and stop the Splitters from tampering with humanities history in an attempt to wipe us out. You travelled to different timezones / locations taking someone host when you arrived then set about seeing their story through while completing your mission. TS3 was more of the same only your goal was to find the origins of the timeplitters and stop them from ever being created, this time you did not take anyone host but you had an AI (or a co op player) whom you assisted in their story for each timezone. The single player was cool, but it was the MP that made TS what it is. Even if it was just you vs 20 bots it was still hillarious.
I don't have a problem with this.
Can't I just pay for the damn thing and get all the guns at the start?
FUCK GFACE and FUCK you Crytek.
BUY THE BRICK WEAPON: ONLY $100! great for smashing windows!
tribes made sense because it was team based multiplayer centric, timespilter's is a one man killing machine mowing down enemies. Even red faction would make a better free to play game.
BUY NOW: MONKEY PLAYER MODEL only 599 CryPointz
It won't be bad if they have a bunch of challenge packs as DLC as opposed to weapons/characters.
if its f2p then it'll have no story, shitty pay 2 win features and probably be a half assed game in general
[QUOTE=Vasili;36418786]if its f2p then it'll have no story, shitty pay 2 win features and probably be a half assed game in general[/QUOTE] Want to play as a Monkey? Too bad. $5.99 for that feature.
Please, no. At least make a singleplayer campaign or something. And the bots.
Don't fuck this up you fucking retarded developers. I swear developers just have no idea what the real gamers actually want.
I fucking knew it. Crytek said after their current projects everything they made would be F2P. I wanted to say something earlier but I hesitated.
I wish F2P was never invented. It's never used correctly and most devs just see it as a way to half-ass a game and make extra money off it.
Crytek has never made a free to play game so cant assume its going to be "wankery". Hope for the best.
I'm guessing if it's free-to-play it will be multiplayer only. I'm hoping if it does go down like this it still has co-op story mode, leagues and challenges.
Remote Mine - $5 Monkey - $10 etc Please don't do this to us Crytek

I love how all of you are being a dick to F2P games, simply because they have somewhat of a gimmick somewhere in the game, and your not noticing its made by "crytek" the people who developed 4-5 of the greatest games in history.

I assume that there are a few elements of horror, since apparently the actual TimeSplitter mutants are apparently kinda scary (or at least the level in which they are introduced).
[QUOTE]I love the picture of a TimeSplitters running on GFACE," the company's upcoming online service.[/QUOTE] Hahaha, how about no. Just put that shit on Steam.
