You may remember the news that Crytek UK have been working on an original first person shooter. Now it seems this FPS has appeared on IGN. Here is the short text about the game:

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the broken forums. I have finally been able to restore the files and remove the phpbb3 cache which was maintaining the problem. The problem was caused by a faulty mod installation which failed to uninstall correctly. I have learnt from this problem so it shouldn’t happen again in the future or for anywhere near as long.

You may now use the forums with no problems. If you have not registered, registration is easy and you don’t need to validate your email unlike other places. After registration you can explain why you want Crytek UK to develop TimeSplitters 4.

It will be released this year, in November (apparently) and the graphics seem a little disappointing, even for the wii, but you can make your own mind up on that.

If GoldenEye is considered to be one of the best games of all time and there is clearly market demand for such a game, what has happened to TimeSplitters 4?

What does this mean? It could possibly mean Crytek wishes to rerelease TimeSplitters Future Perfect on PC as suggested by some.

Maybe they will create an enhanced version with CryEngine 3? Could it be rereleased on console as well?
