Do you remember TimeSplitters? The saga FPS It was one of the most appreciated by an important niche of fans back at the beginning of this century. Considered the spiritual successor of Goldeneye 64 for many fans, managed to expand its story with two other games.
But unfortunately, after the closure of Free Radical Design by Embracer Group, the possibility of enjoying a remake of these classics disappeared. It’s been 13 years since, but there is hope. A group of fans has managed to resurrect and relaunch TimeSplitters Rewindthe remake of the three original games that from 2000 to 2005 entertained many fans of the saga and the genre.
The story of a resurrection
It was 2013 when Crytek had managed to get hold of the rights of its original developers, Free Radical Design -as well as the rest of their IPs-, and after the blow that Embracer Group applied to the hypothetical projects, nothing seemed to make the return of this idea possible. However, a group of fans, with the approval of Crytekhave been supporting them with the intention of launching it in Early Access, they have even provided them with original resources to carry it out.
However, there were other obstacles to overcome between this idea of relaunch and its achievement, for example the departure of the main programmers of the project. In 2015, they had to throw away everything they had achieved and start from scratch using Unreal Engine 4after discovering that the use of the Unreal Tournament engine was a violation of the terms of use of the owner of the Engine, Epic Games. But against all odds, and other episodes of problems that almost caused the project to fail on multiple occasions, it is finally possible to enjoy the remake that was promised to many and never arrived.
The first campaign with multiplayer, free
In the present, It is no longer a chimera wanting to play this “remake” made by fans. Currently, it has the first campaign -that of the original TimeSplitters- updated, making it possible to enjoy it both offline and in cooperative online mode. It has the 28 remastered game mapsits 91 characters and the more than forty weapons that we could handle in the game, as well as the 20 arcade modes or support for 10 players in multiplayer.
The most interesting of all is that, as the Techspot website and technology portal highlights, it is not only possible to obtain this remake in Early Access for freebut it is possible to review the history of its bizarre development on the official website of the project. In case you are worried about what he asks for, don’t worry, it is very “democratic”; just you will need a GPU equivalent to a GTX 760, 8GB of RAM, 2.4 GHz Atom C2750 CPU and 35 GB of free disk space.
