Eidos Unveils First Playstation 2 Title
Eidos Interactive, one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, announces TimeSplitters for PlayStation 2.
The game is being developed by Free Radical Design, which was founded in 1999 by former members of the team responsible for the award-winning and multi-million unit selling Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64.
TimeSplitters is a firstperson arcade shooter with the emphasis on fast, frantic action. The game has a progressive single player mode as well as several multi-player scenarios including deathmatch, capture the bag™, escort and last stand. A simple and intuitive mapmaker even allows players to create their own exciting deathmatch levels.
Story:
In the hundred years spanning the millennium (1935 - 2035), a disparate bunch of heroes and villains battle against their own challenges. Although each is unaware of the others, they all share an ageless common spirit of adventure, but unknown to them their daring actions have attracted the attention of the TimeSplitters.
The TimeSplitters are an evil race dwelling outside of time and space. For aeons they have manipulated the fate of humanity for their own malign ends, with cursed shards of crystal they have sown fear, greed and conflict throughout history. Now roused from an ancient sleep, the TimeSplitters cross the threshold from their shadowy dimension, ripping through the fabric of time itself to confront our heroes.
Can our heroes unite against a common enemy to realise a greater destiny?
Or will humanity be consigned forever to a realm ruled under the shadow of the TimeSplitters?
Features:
1-player, 2-player (co-operative/competitive), 3 and 4-player split-screen modes.
Silky smooth graphics.
Incredibly fast & intensive arcade action - a revisit to the frantic action of Doom!
Richly detailed and varied levels spanning different themes and times.
A multitude of unique playable characters.
Huge replay factor.
Many different gameplay scenarios - deathmatch, capture-the-bag™, escort, last stand, etc.
Simple and intuitive mapmaker allows creation of your own exciting deathmatch levels.
From the creators of Goldeneye - recently voted one of the best computer games in history.
