Recruitment ads from Free Radical are all over the place. The ones with the cartoon Doak and his clickable sole.

Only recently.
My point was, throughout TimeSplitters 1,2 and 3 there were very few.

Now that Haze is really being pushed and TimeSplitters 4 on the horizon they will need more staff. Have they done 2 games at the same time before?

Although I'm not too bothered what the game is as I have all 3, but I'm guessing at Haze, LA Noire, Stranglehold or Army of Two.

It definately won't be Stranglehold, doubt it will be any of the others either.

I'd guess at it being a relatively minor title that is still some time away from being released. I can't see a game that has been in development for multiple platforms suddenly going exclusive.

well considering haze is going to be almost like a next gen timesplitters, i think 360 owners would miss a lot if it was ps3 exclusive, timesplitters 2 and 3 were both far better than anything like halo.

yes they have, TS2 and Second Sight were developed together, iirc.

Second Sight is still one of the best games I've played. :cool:

reviews, sales and general opinion disagree with you.

I honestly didn't know they made Second Sight.

I missed this, what was it?

They didn't really say anything (at the Sony conference) except timed exclusives for Haze and UT3.

Yeah, I got that, but that doesn't count surely? If so, what a massive anti-climax.

I guess I'll be doing with Haze what I did with Virtua Fighter 5, buying it on PS3 first, selling it then buying it on Xbox360 later. Haze could have some cracking achievements!

I would say it counts greatly, all the talk on the forums and 360 owners was that it was inevitable it would come to 360 and a lot of peeps were taking it for granted it would. Now it is ps3 confirmed it is strange that it is brushed aside as a non event

NokkonWud · 11 Jul 2007 at 21:29

But it was only rumours, it was never thought to actually be on the XBox360 in the first place. People were hoping it would be released on the Xbox360, but if it wasn't (as it was) it's no surprise.

If they had said something big, such as a game we always thought was multiplatform moved across, say "Burnout 5", then that would have been big news, as it is I feel totally unsurprised.

It has only even been announced for the PS3 and Kojima has always said it is a PS3 only title.

I think it must have been Haze or UT3 it was talking about.

I'm really glad it wasn't Haze, as it looks amazing, has an interesting story and has one of, imo, the best dev teams working on it.
