This may lead to a fully-fledged Timesplitters game if a large community sprouts out of the game.
It's a smart business decision: let the fans resurrect the IP without you spending a single cent, and if they're successful, you just sweep in and profit, and if not, you haven't lost any money.
The only risk is if the final product is terrible and inadvertently and irreparably damages the brand. But given that this is just a multiplayer mode, and not something requiring a small fortune to fund, I don't believe that will be the case here.

Please tell me one of the bots will be Peekaboo Jones and Leo Krupps. Seriously, TimeSplitters1 and Timesplitters2 had the BEST bots. Uncountable amounts of laughs me and my brother had playing capture the bag and having the bots be absolute retards.
I just got really nostalgic thinking about both games now. :[

That was 90% of the appeal of the map maker for me and my friends. Building forts to defend against virused bots. Oh my god so much fun.
In the interview they say people can make their own levels in Sandbox (which comes with the CE3 SDK) so it'll be plenty robust. So robust I doubt I'll be smart enough to figure out how to use it.

Speaking of map maker, I remember in TS1 my bro made a map that had a giant pit in the center with no way out of it with terrible item spawns (I think TNT) and sure enough the bots would gravitate towards that cess pool. You would peek over the edge looking down and would see Teeth Mummy throwing TNT into the face of Mr. Big as he is stuck in place running into Teeth Mummy, eventually blowing both of them up.

Badass.
I just hope the... well, the stink of CryTek isn't all over the game. I want TimeSplitters, not some CryTek version of TS.

Don't know her name but that's American Horror Story, season 1.
It's got ex-Free Radical devs pitching in too.
They basically said there wasn't enough interest to warrant an official release, so the greenlit this for anyone.
But yeah, stronger support from the main source than usual fan projects. Plus, fan projects lately have been superb.

Read the article in the OP, if you haven't already, as well.

I'll play it. Sore that a full release isn't in the cards.
I wish it would be released on consoles too.. nonetheless I'm happy for Timesplitters.
