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

god0fgod — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:45:13 +0000

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:

What happened to the latest TimeSplitters trailer (featuring “Sir Chimpalot”)?

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.

This can be seen here - http://www.frd.co.uk/faq.php?id=24#faq_24

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.

New concept art for Timesplitters 4 and a teaser video

god0fgod — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:59:06 +0000

New content has been added to the Free Radical Design website. Firstly, concept art has been added to the Timesplitters 4 section. They can be seen at this address - http://www.frd.co.uk/timesplitters4/pictures.php It includes pictures of cat racing, a monkey being experimented on, with a Gothic feel, and the sister Beth with a chainsaw.

There is also a little teaser video that spoofs the Star Wars III trailer - http://www.frd.co.uk/timesplitters4/videos.php

If you also want to spice your Desktop up a little bit you can view a background for Timesplitters 4 here - http://www.frd.co.uk/timesplitters4/wallpapers.php

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.

New letters and a new advert on www.frd.co.uk

Not at lot more new information from the letters section, except Free Radical Design seem to be serious when they mention TimeSplitters 2 HD. Perhaps one day it will become a reality? Also, in reply to my letter (I feel special :P) no interest has been given to my story idea (:(). See the new letters here - http://www.frd.co.uk/letters.php

There has also been a new advert. This one is from 2007 and focuses on recruitment for HAZE.

Below is a link to an article about the construction of real Mantel suits to be used by Ubisoft. The results are impresive:

New concept art for TimeSplitters 4 and it will use a “new and double shiny” game engine

god0fgod — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:59:06 +0000

Please do not ask for TS2 HD. How pointless would buying TS2 all over again be? Just for HD? Who needs it?

Even more letters

god0fgod — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:48:42 +0000

Twice in a month? Very extraordinary. Unfortunately Dave Doak wont be a character in TimeSplitters 4.
