Thanks to @PostwarOrphan for the tweet

The chaotically crazy, pistol-whipping monkeys are back! According to the September edition of the Official Playstation Magazine Italy, Crytek are supposedly close to announcing the highly anticipated follow-up to PS2 title TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, now rumored to be TimeSplitters 4.

Free Radical Design were reportedly toying with the idea of resurrecting the fabled TimeSplitters franchise before Crytek swooped in and acquired the talented development house in 2009.

The multiplatform title is allegedly utilizing the spectacularly beautiful CryEngine 3, ensuring everything glistens with a high definition sparkle – a 2012 launch is the most likely scenario. Check out the enticing rumor below and in the latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine Italy.

Looks like a re run of the OPM UK feature a while back, but still awesome.

I hope this is true...

TS4 has been getting loads of attention lately, I feel something big on the horizon...

I just logged on my e-mails and had a notification of this from Google Alerts, rushed over here to post it and was pleased to see somebody had already posted it.
@PostWarOrphan should become a member of the forum, but if he's lurking out there, nice find man!

Surely this must be a re-run?

"The pistol-wielding monkeys are back. TimeSplitters 4 will be announced very soon.”

Sounds exactly like the original OPM rumour translated to Italian and then back to English:

"Gun-wielding monkeys are finally making a comeback! A fourth Timesplitters title is to be announced soon."

It probably is the same article. But I wonder why the Italian magazine decided to run it just now?

Unless it comes straight from Crytek UK themselves, I'm not buying into any such articles anymore. If there were an announcement to follow soon it'd have been hinted at in the Play Magazine UK article from earlier.

All of these rumours are driving me crazy, although like Lord_Chanticleer said, I'm not getting my hopes up until we here something directly from Crytek.

This again?????  lol

After reading the article in Play Magazine UK as I got my own copy it seems to me TS4 will be very different to previous TS games. I hope they do announce it but I do have my worries about how the game will turn out.

Yeah, it really seems so.
But it makes me happy to read this news.

I wonder if Crytek is just telling every magazine, 1 by 1.   just to f*** with us

More good news. Good to see so much of it recently, rumor or not, Timesplitters is gaining some publicity and that is always a good thing.

Oh and by the way, Crytek 3 engine? Imagine the sheer awesomeness of the Timesplitters series in mind blowing HD quality. I am absolutely PUMPED for this game.

I'm getting quite tired of your negativism.
