The one game that could have saved us from an endless sea of brown/grey uninspired dog**** FPS games is now dead.

My heart... it hurts...

It wouldn't have probably saved the FPS genre at all.

We still have Tribes.

To be honest the art direction in the current Tribes isn't amazing, unless you look at the media shots posted online, which aren't representative of the game

Meanwhile in the UK Black Ops 2 has tripled pre-orders for the first game.

FPS used to be my fave subgenre...
but then again ive also kinda lost interest in gaming in general.

Call of Duty is the only game half the console monkeys here even play :|

Who says it was cancelled? It was never really announced in the first place. Well, besides before FRD got shut down.

As far as I'm concerned modern, single-player FPS = Bioshock.

At least FPS that works and is entertaining to play.

Please don't go on about UT there hasn't been a new one in years; at least one worth playing for any length of time.

I wouldn't have mentioned UT even if there has been a recent release of one as UT is almost all about multiplayer.

As has already been said, Free Radical has been absorbed. Timesplitters would have been a perfect launch title for the new generation, but I dont think anyone saw that happening. There hasn't been an announcement on a new TS4...until now...that its not under development

Its kind of strage. A few months back I started googling for information on what the hell happened the the TS series and found out what has been stated.

With that said, I wouldnt be surprised if the TS IP gets some much needed dev time. If Crytek's only intentions of grabbing Free Radical was to absorb the talent, they're wasting a good IP.

Did I hear something? I meant Unreal; my bad.

bioshock sucks, what a massive disappointment that was goddamn.

i should actually start up ss3 one of these days i only bought it during a steam sale....

Renegade Retard · 6th May 2012, 05:52 PM

Timesplitters 4? There was a 1, 2, and 3???

Must be a very relevant game in the industry.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but I find myself agreeing with yours.

Speaking of FPS I'm back into Borderlands at the moment. Also good fun but Bioshock was unique.

Vaskadar · 6th May 2012, 06:39 PM

I was really hoping for more monkeys in my FPS games. I was really, really hoping for that, and a gun that launched monkeys.

Can't complain about that, Borderlands is easily one of my top ten games of the last decade.
