I’m hoping there is a bidding war going on right now in the background for this property. Timesplitters PvP and Co-op was amazingly well done for the time. Bringing back the 4player couch co-op and 4player couch pvp would be fantastic and would bring a lot of people to the game.

The way we all did it in my friends circle was: anyone who wasn’t too good at the game got to be the Monkey. Monkey was much more difficult to shoot so it made for a good handicap. It worked really well.

I loved discovering all the little quirks of the character skins - I remember the stone golem was immune to fire.

"Fortnite clone" as in a battle royale? Journalism is dead

“Originally it was a Fortnite clone,” the developer is quoted as saying.

“clone” of Fortnite’s battle royale mode before becoming a remake of TimeSplitters 2, according to a former developer

Please at least read the first sentence fully before commenting.

Media literacy is dead.

I believe RPS is owned by embracer group. There's been a real drop in quality since the embracer layoffs started.
