Timesplitters: Future Perfect: PERFECTED!

Yes indeed! Worked my way through the final four or five chapters, with a robot in tow for much of the way. Which was handy, since he killed more baddies than I did because I’m cowardly. Highlights included driving a tank with your future self as gunner (then swapping over), taking remote control of a giant Mech, destroying a giant Mech, taking out Jakob Crow in his bizarre part-man, part-machine, part-Timesplitter guise, and doing some other things which are spoilers. …

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Two-player Xbox Live fun and japes today, mainly in million-way deathmatch. We are crap in comparison to those we played against, although we never came last, which is always nice. One of the maps we played on seemed to be “player designed”, as it was really small, and rubbish. There was one section you could get in, which was great for sniping, but you couldn’t get out again. Stupid.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Two more levels completed now – both set in 2052 or something. Some more gaming in-jokes here too, with you picking up a lab suit and being called “Gordon” (from Half-Life), and some Doom 3 type sections too. And mutants who explode themselves at you. Nice. Oh yes! There’s a cleaning robot you activate too, not unlike the skutters from Red Dwarf, and plenty of Robocop bits. Excellent. And forget two Cortezeses, as one of the sections has four. BEST. …

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Online-only play on Timesplitters this evening. Had about 6 Deathmatches – mainly against random people, but did play against someone from the Retro Gamer forums in one of the matches. Didn’t do fantastically well, but did manage to come third or fourth on all of the rounds – with 6 to 9 players in each round. Not too bad then.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Enjoying this so far. I might even complete it. You never know. Went back and completed the level with Harry Tipper, and the train level following it. Homage to Goldeneye, by the same developers? Perhaps… At the end of the level there was a puzzle thing to stop the nuclear missile being launched, and a fight with a guy with a rocket pack. Obviously. The next two levels were obviously inspired by Resident Evil. Firstly, it was set in a …

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Played a bit more on this this evening. Mainly had a go at the challenges, but didn’t get very far. I have completed all three cat racing levels though. Had a few online games against the Retro Gamer forums people – one hit kills with only baseball bats and bricks as weapons. Excellent. Even though I was crap and came last.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Spent a couple of hours on this today. I completed the “pre-mission mission”, and also the first proper mission in the castle thing. It all seems much like Timesplitters 2 so far. I failed the mission with Harry Tipper, though. I don’t understand how Cortez doesn’t know who he is, even though he met him in TS2. Very odd. I died once I’d set the water running, and didn’t realise that people would then see through my disguise and try …
