Well none of Free Radical's games were really that successful. I think Timesplitters 2 was their most popular game, and even that didn't do THAT great.

 Can you imagine working for 2 years on a game with a deal in place only to have Lucasarts pull the rug out from under you. Then scrabbling around for funds while the world is crumbling around you?

BREAKING NEWS:

Miyamoto-san was just seen taking a sushi-filled Japanese dump on Free Radical's doorstep, muttering "this is what happens when you leave Rare while we still own, then form Radicals Free and give most support to Sony".

He then pulled up his pants without wiping, and walked away quickly.

More as it breaks.

 Why dont you submit stories to Yodariquo for the Weekly page?

TimeSplitters
PlayStation 2 83.7%

TimeSplitters 2
PlayStation 2 91.5%
GameCube 89.4%
Xbox 88.1%

TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
PlayStation 2 85.6%

Thanks to Blackley at GS. This is how overrated the TS games were in the press.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect (PS2, Xbox, GC) 65,181 (all platforms combined)
XBX SECOND SIGHT 4,139
PS2 SECOND SIGHT 2,991

And that's what there last couple games sold before Haze. So as you can see, they've been on the brink of death for most of their existence. Now Doak is basically going to reform them under a different name, and the same thing will happen.

Desktop PC (Windows XP + SP2):
CPU: 2ghz Pentium4 Processor or Amd Athlon 2000+ Processor
RAM: 1 GB of RAM
GPU: 128mb Video Card (GeForce FX 5900 or Radeon 9500)

These are the recomended requirements for The Sims 3? This wouldn't even be high end 4 years ago.

And wow "The Dark Spire" sounds interesting.

So...the Free Radical stuff is true?

This is fucking horrible.

I mean...sure, Haze was a shite game, but they were going to improve on it! They were making Timesplitters 4! They wanted to do a Timesplitters 2 HD remake!

My god.

Wait the had financial problems so they start making HD games?! No wonder they are going down! Graphics were never a big selling point of the Timesplitters games!

Exactly!

It's because they were so stupidly fucking fun!

 Fuck yeah, playing virus with 3 friends and a full list of bots, was like a freaking zombie movie! So good!

I have been all over RE5 stuff today, amazing footage on Xplay. Capcom is trying to clean up the mess of the demo debug, they contacted our site biohaze and told us to take down anything on it.

Also been hoping for good amazon deal but it didnt happen.

So whats going on besides free radical?

You mean they got the scores they deserved? Though I did found Future Perfect a bit boring it was still solid.

Timesplitters was far from overrated.

I'd argue that the sequel is easily the best first person shooter of the decade. Or at least one of the better.
