.::: Yup, EA are going to publish Free Radical's games as Eidos didn't want to anymore.

While some of you were shocked by the Burnout thing, I can imagine this is going to be rather dubious. After all it IS the last puzzlepiece EA needs to do what they have been trying to do ever since Rare released you know what on the N64.

Remember IGN got air of a GoldenEye 2 rumour some time ago?

For completeness, Free Radical's 'game' will be published under EA Partners. So it won't be an EA Games title. But still... It is possible?

PS: Source for the publishing deal is a pressrelease bound to pop up at different sites.

I still don't understand why so many of you think so highly of Timesplitters, it felt dated and tired when it was launched and it's aged badly. I bought and sold it twice thinking I was missing out on something but I just didn't 'get' it at all.

It's just a bit of fun really. And it has good challenges.

Could've been better though.

The Timesplitters games are basically FP ardace shooters. They're memory and reaction tests rather than war simulations or whatever. I always felt that people were looking for something in them that the TS games were never designed to deliver. Ever. 3D Monkey pacman whilst running away from flaming zombies. Capture the Lobster against mutant mutant fishwives. Why people would expect this to be in any way realistic is beyond me. Oh, and both games had absolutely astounding soundtracks as well. Two of the best of this generation, IMO.

@Beertiger: No.

Yes it does, it's just everyone has such fond memories of Goldeneye or just never played Perfect Dark that much or are just Bond whores.

Now you'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Bond whore than me, i really am all about the Bond but from my experience all of my real life buddies don't like Perfect Dark as much as Goldeneye due to them never really having played it. But they will still go on about how Goldeneye is better without having played both.

Except for the other 64 owner who actually finished Perfect Dark and agrees with me.

Both games are flawed to hell though and the phrase rose tinted glasses neve suited a game better.

Why would they have gone to the trouble of leaving Rare to do their own thing if the plan all along had been another bleeding Bond game?

Because they could never do another Bond game at Rare seeing as EA had the licence...? Just a reason. Not necessarily the truth.

I agree with you. PD is better than Goldeneye in every way.

Except for multiplayer... something just isn't 'right' with it.

Single player though, rocks, hard. Over everything. Ever. (And I only first played it recently.)

Some reviewer you'd make! Tsk! ;)

Next you'll be telling me it isn't any "fun".

Shush, I'm tired! :(

How can a vending machine be tired?

The book of Rare Rumours Chapter 12 Verse 1 states that Rare turned down the Bond licence for a second title.

I thought it was Nintendo that turned it down...

And then didn't Free Radical fuck off before Perfect Dark came out. Maybe they didn't like the game they were making and wanted to do a bit of Bond again.

At the end of the day, nobody knows anything until an official statement is made.
