  • Hey guys, how are ya? Long time no see.
    Today I wanted to share with you a product of months of work. Timesplitters 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and many people have never even heard of it. I want to change that.
    I really hope you enjoy this video. See you soon.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fixed details:
    The maiden in the air in Notre Dame is being used as a sacrifice for the Cropolite.
    There is a checkpoint in Return to Planet X, right after dropping through the broken ship. The portal in the same mission leads to another ship, not a different time.

      Same man. I'm sorry to hear about your father. My dad bought a 2nd xbox so we could play ts2 together without seeing eachothers screen and we would have big systenlink games between my friends and his friends.
      At night we would play in his bedroom and take turns playing behead the undead.
      The whole reason I learned to play inverted was because it was standard layout for ts2 and my dad was a helicopter pilot back in the 80s. So I started playing inverted to be like dad and then eventually it just stuck!

    What I've observed about the franchise is that a lot of people didn't play it, but everyone who did loved it. I'm hopeful for a Time Splitters resurgence because I've noticed that over the past few years, more and more people have been doing retrospectives on it. The interest seems to be there, and if Free Radical made it more accessible I think there's money to be made. Great vid, bro! God bless!

The perfect dark on the xbox 360 and james bond games I can't remember anything about them. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (just opinion not hating)

      We had a unique oldschool traditional early 3D FPS sub-genre era , from (Quake) 1996 - 2005 when the last of this traditional FPS game design was still dominant.
      It was the best time for the genre overall , It had great single player campaigns as well as local multiplayer/lan parties and early online communities free of toxicity ,
      even though imo early CODs did perfect the multiplayer online experience It wasn't as healthy as a community anymore and single player has suffered ever since , It also homogenized FPS Innovation because everyone just wants to copy or be the next COD , because It arguably has mastered the multiplayer side of the genre which previously had no reliable blueprint for consistent success. I'm not happy about It because I miss the experimental ambition of devs trying to find what works , but I do I think FPS Is the first genre multiplayer-wise that can no longer be Improved beyond what COD offers , It's a perfect feeling gameplay loop that never gets old (If It's one of the good CODs) , but I still prefer oldschool era FPS more because It was less generic , formulaic , streamlined/corporate feeling.

      Team Fortress 2 could have been this if it wasn't so PC-centric and focused entirely on online team play, neglecting solo offline story mode and local multiplayer. Always loved TF2's art style but I don't play online games so it was a hard pass for me unfortunately.

    @lolza-qh2xw 4 месяца назад +5

    I have a specific love for TimeSplitters 2. When I was young and my dad was between jobs we won a PS2 from a radio competition he entered and the only actual games me and my sister had were TimeSplitters 1 and Burnout, but Burnout was so scratched up that it didn't play, pre-owned games right? We just had PS2 magazine demos besides that. So me and my sister would play TimeSplitters split screen vs the bots for hours or play the story - our family couldn't really afford new games so we used to buy the PS2 magazines with demos and play them a lot - but one magazine had an article about TimeSplitters 2, me and my sister used to read it over so many times because it was our absolute favourite game but our family couldn't afford it. Then one day my dad picked us up from school and said we had a new game at home and we were so excited but he wouldn't tell us what it was, we got home and ontop of our PS2 was a brand new copy of TimeSplitters 2, I swear we must have been up until the early hours playing it with our dad now and then coming in to see and asking if we were enjoying it, if it's good etc.

    Your retrospective of the story missions was really good, there are just two things i have to mention.
    1. In 'return to planet X' there is a checkpoint. You hit it when you jump out of the crashed ufo into the green cave below. At least this checkpoint exists in the european version of the game.
    2. The mysterious portal inside the Ozor mox base might acctually teleport you inside the big ufo in front of you. I doesn't seem to be a time portal.
    And by the way have you ever noticed that the tools of the dark machinists battle machine rotate the wrong way?

    • @OnyxLeviathan

    This is the first time I've seen footage of the second game and yep; can tell at a glance this has loads more polish and thought behind it. I think I get the hype now.

He told me he wasn’t into Timesplitters when I asked him about the game. I kind of know why because the aiming was just outdated even for its time but I got used to it. Timesplitters 2 and Halo CE were my first ever FPS games and they still hold up today. 100% that game is a feel good achievement. Thanks for the video.

    This is a great video, ive always felt that Timesplitters as a series is so overlooked considering its one of the best game series there is.
    I particularly like that you made a point to discuss the music, I'd say Timesplitters 2 and 3 are big reasons that i became a musician. The soundtracks are phenomenal.
    In regards to the Space Station, I always thought it was a human station that was taken over by the Time Splitters, in the opening curscene you see them moving human corpses and as you mentioned theres signs in english and space suits for humans.
    I think the reason the time machine in Future Perfect is so dofferent probably just means its a different kind of time machine because that one sends Cortez in his own body through time rather than the one in 2 where it puts him in the bodies of other people.

  • @lissyvale629

    I LOVE this retrospective so much! Best one on RUclips!! One thing kid me always found kinda neat even though it's a bit dark is that some of the in game dialogue, mostly from bosses (one example being Khallos) implies that things are turning out differently and that normally our heroes didn't make it this far... Which I still find cool because perhaps it means that the timesplitters are being thwarted by people throughout history that ordinarily would've suffered a tragic fate but thanks to Cortez get a second chance to accomplish their missions. Overall I love this game and very much enjoy your in-depth synopsis of the main story. ^v^

    A true gem. To see this game getting praise and acknowledgement in today's world is beautiful. Different world back then. Games didn't have to be super violent or gory even if they were shooter. Timesplitters 2 strikes such a balance. So fun, so characterful. Class all the way through. The top hot to handle arcade challenge is a day of fun on its own! Thank you for your views. Its a 10/10

The way you covered TimeSplitters 2 in this video was great, and I'm hoping you do the same for TimeSplitters Future Perfect, because I love that game a lot also, and the campaign for that game has a special place in my heart. For a 2 hour long video, I was pretty engaged the entire time, and you did a good job covering the many awesome features found in this awesome game! I definitely had to subscribe after seeing this video! I hope to see you make more awesome retrospective videos like this!

    I don't remember the game being *that* hard even on hard difficulty. I do remember really young me not getting past Neo Tokyo though because I was so impatient with stealth stuff (and perhaps not smart enough to realize what I was supposed to do). I remember coming back to the campaign a bit older (still played the game a ton with the challenges and vs bots and waaaaaaaay too much time in the map editor) and when I realized that hard mode *gave more content* I was blown away. So few games did something like that and it made it feel like you got 1.5 campaigns.
    What I do remember as being super hard were some of those one-off challenge campaign missions. I don't think I ever beat all of those...

    The 'splitter machine will actually attack you, if you're in its room, like any other Reaper Splitter. Acting as some kind of 'turret'.
    As for the space station. It's potentially just a human research station whose personnel brought the Time Portal aboard for study, likely excavated from the neighbouring planet. The splitters taken over essentially.
