Sad Timesplitters 4 was canned not once but twice, meanwhile we still get games no one wants like this chasing trends that are several years past their peak. Real shame.

The first game is like a tech demo sort of thing and it shows how great the second game is with how much it improved.

I think the best thing they can do at this point is shut this thing down. There’s nothing that can be done and the only thing this game is going to do is bleed more money. Any attempts to do anything is like CPR on a dead body.

The game on Steam has 38 players right now, less than even Suicide Squad. Not even enough for 4 games. Humiliation on a cataclysmic level. This will go down in gaming folklore with E.T. and Sonic 2006.

At this moment, on Steam at least, Concord has just over twice the players Suicide Squad does, and that released about 6 months ago. That is beyond embarrassing. Give this 6 months it will be lucky to even come close to triple figures.

I love this game for what it is, but damn I wish this thing had a remaster. As said, the Goldeneye aiming is awful, and some of the arcade leagues and challenges are brutal (looking at you Bags of Fun) and there is not a chance I will put myself through even attempting to finish Atom Smasher and Robot Factory on hard. These are made easier with the emulation now at least, but I pray for a remaster some day so at the very least the aiming can be tweaked (as well as online multiplayer and mapmaker capabilities) and the game feel playable.

Unfortunately any chance of that is finished thanks to a certain company.

Brilliant. I already own them on Xbox, but cannot have enough Timesplitters. I had hoped for a remastered trilogy for a long time, but as a result of one company’s record level of incompetence, this is likely the best we are going to get.

@Slayer25c 3 has best gameplay but the characters are all so insufferable it ruins the entire experience. The mute button is essentially compulsory to get anything out of it. DLCs were great though from what I remember.

I don’t remember much about Wonderlands at all (only the DLC, and not for good reasons) and I have never had any desire to go back to it. I feel the novelty of Borderlands has worn off and maybe it should be left in the 2010s. I could be wrong though.

Considering how awful the writing of Borderlands 3 is, how forgettable Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was and the insult of “DLC” that had and how much of a jackass this guy is, no thanks, I’m good.

it is crazy to think how millionaire executives are so out of touch they thought this ever had a chance of being successful..

The last soldier standing from the greatest ever console generation. It will be sad to see the end of the best gaming era when it gives up the ghost, but it seems Sony’s inability to emulate PS3 games will keep it around a while longer. From a gaming perspective, what I’m most of us wouldn’t do to go back to 2006/2007.

Borderlands 3 is okay but best to use the mute button because dear lord some of the characters are insufferable. Among Us is $4 and had its peak 3 - 4 years ago, and I don’t know how many care about hockey. It’s uh, not the best…

Will try that AEW game as I have been waiting for it to be on PS+ as it looks too crap to spend any money on. Couldn’t care less about those other two.

Lost me at “Free-to-Play.”

For me, 1 was boring, I barely remember 2 aside from the “XD lel maymay” theme it had going for it, and Legion was mediocre and the gimmick of playing as anyone wasn’t as good as it sounded. After 3 attempts and lukewarm results at best I won’t miss it much if the series is finished

This has been around since the PS5 launch? Never knew it existed until now.

@OmegaStriver I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion at all. We are around the halfway point for any console generation now, and there isn’t much worth playing on PS5/XSX you can’t play on PS4/XB1, outside of Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better any time soon with all these layoffs and cancellations.Neither PlayStation or Xbox is doing great, and I am not sure when the last generation was that both big hitters were in the gutter.

Hoping these are those games as a service titles no one wants. Those will inevitably fail and cause even more layoffs.

Those suits are absolutely disgusting. You would have thought they’d be better looking to entice people to buy for the charity.

@j2c They could not cancel the game as they made a deal with the government of Singapore. Were it not for that legal obligation it likely would have been canned a long time ago, as I can’t see how they will make anything close to their money back.

8/10. Open world activities are less stale than the original, much better side content and enjoyed main story and character moments. Plays it too safe, doesn’t do much to be different from original and could have done with more Venom.

Somehow my most played is FIFA 15 with 3883 hours. I don’t understand how it got that for a sports game I played for a year and haven’t touched since.

One of those games you can play for free and still feel ripped off.

Good God this looks rough. The WWE games from the early Xbox 360 days looked better than this. And this costs $50? Yikes.

You don’t say. This was always going to fail. $30+ for a live service product that should have been f2p with only 1 thing to do is insane. This thing had flop all over it from day 1. I’d be amazed if this isn’t on PS+ and Game Pass by the end of the year.

I haven’t finished this game and I’ve had it for a year. They removed the horror elements and made it a characterless Ubisoft-lite clone, it’s so dull. These updates though do seem to be for the better and maybe this can be saved.

This was massively overhyped and it was always going to underwhelm given some expected this to rival WWE 2K games despite how that has been around since the 90s and this is a first attempt. I was never expecting much out of this, I’ll wait until it’s on PS+.

You are setting yourself up for failure putting a $30 price tag on something that should be f2p. I give this a few months at most before the player base is deserted.

Its time has passed. Just kill the thing off and move on already.

So then I have to ask, as someone who already has P3P on PS4, if they’re gutting half of the content what’s the point in this? Adding some small improvements isn’t going to make up for that.

It was only a matter of time before this started to happen. Give it a few years and this will be the standard.

Meh. It’s not like PlayStation won’t be able to say the same thing after the next Xbox event.

What is happening with Ubisoft these days. They have at least three titles in development hell with one holding the current record. What a mess.

Another game with good promise thrown into the gutter due to it being expected you play it as an occupation. And they have the gall to sell this for full price? Disgusting, but not surprising. What a shame.

You know, I always see people say something such as “this game gets more hate than it deserves” and it really bothers me. There are games that get more hate than they deserve, but no, this is not one of them. This game has the reputation it deserves.

I really don’t understand the Crash Bash love, but a remake and improvement on that would have been a much better idea than this. You don’t need to be clairvoyant to see this is going to flop hard.

I hope they learn from the mistakes of the second game. The first game had such great atmosphere and horror elements, yet the second game took away everything that gave it personality and left it as another Ubisoft template riddled with the same old open world tropes.

I’m baffled how they spent all that time in development just to create something that’s vastly inferior to something Ubisoft would have made 15 years ago (see Assassins Creed II.) In fact, I still haven’t completed it to this day and feel no desire to because it’s just so boring and insipid. I can’t really think of anything positive to say about it.

I bought this over 3 years ago and, according to my game list, I only have 9 hours played on it. I mostly forgot about it altogether and the rare times I didn’t I never felt desire to play it. It doesn’t seem it caught on which is a shame as this is different to the other titles Sony & Microsoft have and this will further discourage creating anything different. I’m surprised Dreams lasted this long.

This has to be the least deserving game support ever made.

I was hoping this wasn’t another battle pass live service crapfest, alas here we are. I’m no fan of Crash Bash but I’d rather they have remade that than waste resources on this.

Definitely. The amount of tedious open-world busywork crap they’ve put in the game is insane. In the process of trying to get the platinum, got to around 550 collectibles or so, only to find out one of the moths I need for the picture puzzles won’t spawn locking a field guide page I need for the collection out until they patch it. Good stuff.

Fewer games have been as satisfying to watch fail as this one.

The notion that people thought this was in Smash Bros’ league when this was released is laughable. A free to play game with currency grinding and battle passes and all of the other tropes associated with live services, against one you pay £40 for and get an entire package, the £40 option will win every time.

The sooner this live service model dies off the better. For every Destiny or Warzone there’s 10 Babylon’s Falls or Avengers or Lawbreakers or Anthems or Destruction All Stars or any number of failed Fortnite and Overwatch clones.

It was decent for what it was. It’s a pretty fun sandbox to run around and shoot people but I don’t really feel any need to play this again anytime soon. I prefer Far Cry 5 personally.

I don’t understand how you could expect anything but this reception with the technical issues, lack of innovation, Xbox 360 era gameplay and the downright detestable characters.

Everything from this series has gone so downhill after SR2 and this will be what finally kills it off. Looks like that’s another one for the game franchise graveyard.

Just remaster Saints Row 1 & 2 and call it a day.

1) Yakuza 0
2) Persona 5 Royale
3) Yakuza Kiwami
4) Red Dead Redemption 2
5) Judgment
6) Spider-Man
7) Mass Effect Legendary Edition
8) L.A. Noire Remastered

Please don’t let this be like Tekken 7 where there is barely any content with an absurd amount of season passes.

Good stuff. Can never get enough of Yakuza games. Still waiting on Dead Souls getting the same treatment though.

Good. It should’ve been canned years ago after it was so blatant they’d stopped caring with how little screen time they got in Origins - Valhalla, especially with how long those games are. Seeing as how neither the writers nor players are interested in the present day segments , best to just kill them off.

I just hope for something at least on par with Adventure 1 & 2, why is that so much to ask over 20 years later…

I’ll be waiting until it’s heavily discounted or on PS+, and only because I was a fan of the original games, else I wouldn’t bother with this at all.
