PlayStation a PS3 build of Free Radical Design's ORIGINAL (circa 2008) pitch for Timesplitters 4 has been dumped

[Krvavi Abadas]

the original flash-based teaser trailer, which was used to recruit staffers for the project.​

not to be confused with the strange Fortnite-like the modern Free Radical was making prior to closure, someone posted about finding an auction listing containing this a few days prior.

after receiving advice on how to dump the data, the buyer has successfully done so. and the build has been publicly posted online.

Somehow the universe decided to put TimeSplitters fans on the wildest emotional rollercoaster ride today.

Very curious to see footage of this.

This is a pretty cool find!

Very curious to see footage of this.

sadly not much in terms of content, only the one map it launches in works. though you can add bots using a debug button command (this footage was recorded before that was discovered.)

• Circle + dpad up adds bots to the map
• Circle + dpad left toggles invincibility
• Circle + dpad right toggles vsync
• X + dpad left kills the player
• X + dpad right shows the pitch message. X + dpad down shows less information, X + dpad up shows more information.

I would normally also add that the footage was recorded on real hardware, but apparently the build doesn’t run at all on RPCS3.

Oh wow, thanks for linking it. That looks surprisingly great, kinda depressing to think that it never took off due to Haze and their financial troubles.
