New answered letters on freeradicaldesign.co.uk

Yes, R107 has been keeping up with the letters. More funny answers and a few answers only based on probability. Included in the answered letters, R107 says there may be a jump and roll function and there may be no Mapmaker. But then again, he said maybe for almost everything.

Sir Chimpalot video removed from request by LucasArts

If you visit www.frd.co.uk now you should realise that the new teaser video has been removed because it contains too many similarities to what is owned and copyrighted by LucasArts. However, it confirms Sir chimpalot will be in TimeSplitters 4. Free radical Design has said in their FAQ:

Some people with a sense of humour deficiency bizarrely thought that it infringed their copyright. We’ve got better things to do than argue about that kind of thing, so we took it down instead. Rest assured, though, that Sir Chimpalot will still feature in the next TimeSplitters game.
With pleasant news, this does mean Sir Chimpalot will be included in TimeSplitters 4. Is it good news? Well, who says you will have to play as it? You may want to.

Perhaps Sir Chimpalot will be a character in the game? And is this new logo shown going to be the final one? It is certainly different to the others.
