EIDOS ANNOUNCES
TIMESPLITTERS 2 GAME
Copyright 2002 Eidos Interactive Press Release
[ May 17th 2002 ]
Free
Radical Design, developer of the highly successful
and critically acclaimed PlayStation 2 launch
title TimeSplitters, announces TimeSplitters 2
on PlayStation 2, to be published by Eidos Interactive.
TimeSplitters 2 will improve on the original in
every conceivable way. The game offers a more
involving single player and co-operative story
mode, featuring a complex narrative with multiple
objective-based episodes and superbly animated
cut-scenes.
The game
engine has been extensively upgraded to accommodate
bigger, better backgrounds and special graphical
effects while still providing the distinctive
smooth fast paced action of the original. A completely
rewritten animation system incorporating inverse
kinematics brings even more lifelike movement
and dynamism to a new collection of 'loveable
rogue' characters. TimeSplitters 2 will retain
the unique MapMaker in an enhanced form which
opens up even more potential for user customised
game scenarios. The multiplayer mayhem of the
original will be back but TimeSplitters 2 further
extends the possibilities with I-Link support
allowing multiple consoles to be linked together.
Mike
McGarvey, CEO of Eidos says: "Free Radical Design
demonstrated with TimeSplitters that they are
one of the world's leading development teams.
To say we are excited about TimeSplitters 2 would
be a massive understatement." David Doak, Managing
Director of Free Radical Design says: "With TimeSplitters
we were just finding our feet, now we can go to
town and show people what we're really capable
of doing - TimeSplitters 2 will be an exceptional
game."
