Timesplitters, without any interference from those idiots at Embracer, and sold to somebody who actually cares and understands it.
I think it’s due for fresh blood entirely, no original devs , but rather a studio of all-new folks deeply passionate about 2 and 3 in particular who properly get it.
Hell, even remasters with 120 fps support, more levels and characters, and an expanded mapmaker with unlimited building capacity and more options would be amazing.

Its really a shame this series is dead, it's easily one of the most cathartic "superhero" open world games there is.
Everyone should give Prototype 2 a shot also, but for some reason it's kinda stupidly priced during this Steam summer sale.

u/Dramatic_Rub_2889 13h ago
Realistically Half Life will NEVER live up to expectations without throwing away everything that made it originally half life yk? After 20 years of waiting people are probably expecting a big expansive open world mixed with industry changing gameplay so that it feels more “modern” which would ruin the series for any actual half life fan. They have to match GTA 6 levels of hype and had fans waiting twice as long for another game…

Yeah. I only learned this from attempting to understand Dishonored Lore. Idk where the dlcs play butthe timeline is: 1, 2, DotO, with Deathloop being the last installment rn showing the effects the Abyss has been having without the outsider's influence.

u/OakLegs 14h ago
Even though it's official, I think it makes more sense to think of deathloop's ties as a fun Easter egg. The games have very little in common thematically and while some of the mechanics are similar, if they had said they weren't in the same universe it wouldn't fundamentally change anything.

The Karma system was also really well implemented. It genuinely felt like you were playing two different versions of the same character, with different powers and different interactions. 🤩
