OPM UK confirms new Timesplitters game

We're not kidding on the title. Yes, Free Radical is yet to finish up with Haze. Having to wait for two explosive FPS titles can cause seizures, we know. Still, a poster going by the name Chris1007 over at the Official European PlayStation forums reports that OPM UK revealed a new Timesplitters game in the works for the PS3.

Not much info were given, but Steve Ellis said, "They're 'gearing' up to insert monkeys and guns into all the wrong places." For those not in the know, Timesplitters is home to a huge variety of character skins including ginger bread men and monkeys. Floating ducks and the mythical Bigfoot are there, too, for your choosing.

Looks like the devs will be following the tradition of humor and quirks of this insanely fast paced shooter that never took itself seriously. Here's what Chris1007 said:

Interestingly the logo currently being used by Free Radical, is a spoof of the Gears of War logo with a monkey head. And Free Radical is said to have sent out some concept art of a monkey in a 'very' familiar suit of green battle armour. So expect a lot of in-game potshots at Gears of War, Halo, and other famous gaming franchises.

There you have it. We're hungry for a look at the game like you guys, so we'll be grabbing any chances to take a glimpse and and keep you posted.

I loved the first and 2nd installments of this series and cannot wait for the new titles. I look forward more so to this than Haze.

Goldeneye was probably the best game ever (Period), no arguments there ... its a shame that Doak and his best left rare behind after the Xbox Jump and formed free radical but something good came of it!!!

Time Splitters then Timesplitters 2 and Timesplitters Future Perfect probably my favorite games of last gen, they were slightly a series of unappreciated FPS games but still managed to do well despite its small marketing and they never really pushed "hey this is from the actual dudes who made Goldeneye"

This new one is gonna rock and will be the perfect compliment to HAZE i cant freakin wait, oh and Halo 3 of course that is gonna be SWEET!!!
