It's fun and good. But I still don't like the robot sequence you have to do twice.

yes, except the neotokyo stealth section. Fuck the neotokyo stealth section.

Fuck off zoomer.
You know what? Star Wars doesn't hold up. Shit's ancient, the picture quality is shit and the special effects downright garbage. Unwatchable in this day and age. It desperately needs a remake, several DLCs and achievements.

This past month I’ve been taking a deep dive into this game for the first time. It really is one of the best shooters ever made and really is on par with Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. The aiming is painful though and some of the challenges/arcade league missions are incredibly hard, which is refreshing. I’ve got maybe 50 out of 66 gold trophies but the last few are kicking my ass:

For those FPs fans that hold GE and PD in the highest esteem, it doesn’t get any better than this. One of the most high content, varied shooters ever made, and one of the best local multiplayer games of any generation.

>>8933195
Which is a huge shame because it's such a cool area.

>>8933173
I loved Timesplitters 2, but I honestly liked Future Perfect just a little bit more. TS2 feels more like Goldeneye/Perfect Dark for sure. I also had the first one, but for some reason I couldn't get into it as much. Am I right in remembering that it basically had no story?

>>8933173
Levels are hit or miss as fuck, but it's a very solid core, and the deathmatch/arcade was sweet as fuck.

>>8933173
God those noses fucking SUCK. Western art makes me want to PUKE!

>>8933173
yes, but only with dolphin's kb+m mod

Is the PS2 version alright? It's already on my PS2 HDD.
Same question for Future Perfect

>>8933173
>raredev shite
No. Their only good game is A Nightmare on Elm Street

>>8933509
For TS2, all 3 versions equally as good. Xbox has slightly better visuals but they all have the same framerate, just comes down to which controller you prefer to use for aiming.
As for FP, Xbox has noticeably better visuals and framerate than ps2 this time around, but I still think the ps2 version looks good and the framerate is still solid where it counts which is more important. Only negative thing I can think of in the ps2 version is that your maps in mapmaker take up alot of space on your memory card, so if you were planning on making alot of your own maps it might be better to go for the xbox version.

>>8933173
To be fair there's never been a good video game involving time travel.

>>8933173
It feels weirdly bare bones desu

>>8933521
Good thing it's Free Radical

>>8933343
>and really is on par with Perfect Dark and Goldeneye

In multiplayer maybe, but timesplitters 2 single player is way too hit or miss

>>8933810
All devs from Rare you dumbass

>>8933838
The good part of Rare, leaving the bad part

>>8933583
heh

>>8933173
Just like Goldeneye or Perfect Dark, these games were generic bargain bin shooters and they're only remembered because children/young teens had never played an fps before. May as well call Kingpin or Requiem an all time classic

If you see a Handyman:

>>8933173
No, it really doesn't. Mechanically and artistically, the game feels like a toy meant to entertain preteens. I know that's literally what it is, but that doesn't hold water once you age out of it. It's also not appreciable as art. It's just a product, a forgettable toy.

>>8933343
>I've got maybe 50 out of 66 gold trophies
Just wait until you realize their are platinum trophies for certain missions as well. You'll never want to play the challenges again.

>>8934263
don't know what the fuck your smoking, some of the best memories i have of early-mid 2000s gaming are enjoying shooters on pc like half life and cs, and also having fun playing shooters on console like time splitters or pd. i definitely played half life/op for/blue shift first but some of the best memories of tht time are also splitscreen in 2, the map editor in future perfect. etc

>>8933173
no.

tsfp wins hands down.
>good cutscenes
>refined humor
they went all out in this game, not just passive puns in text only application.
>refined gunplay + armory
the mag charger was the coolest while the injector was fucking hilarious in multiplayer.
>refined character roster
seriously, the last 25 characters in ts2's gallery are pallette swaps ffs.
the mox's, too.
>best version of map maker
ts2's map maker is fucking egregious.

>>8933173
Absolutely, a significant jump from the original with an actual campaign and more polish, that first Dam level still wows me since it I love Goldeneye so much. The gameplay still feels solid and the multiplayer was super addicting to play, what isn't fun is trying to unlock everything. One of the final multiplayer maps is only unlocked after beating the hardest difficulty and it feels impossible to me, I get put in my place in Atom Smasher despite having beaten it awhile back, only to get stumped again at Aztec Ruins, I don't even want to think about the Robot Factory, that level is infamous in the regular campaign alone. Despite some sadistic level design, I still love the variety and quality of the levels, I also like the no frills approach to the main story premise and you're more so just taking in the other time periods as their own thing. I honestly go back to play the multiplayer with bots more than anything, it's the only game to really satisfy quality GE/PD sequel multiplayer that has tons of features like bots (sorry GE) and isn't a nightmare to play with performance issues (or has a shitty headache inducing ghosting filter every time a bot slaps you, yes I'm looking at you PD, fuck you Rare).
TSFP is the better game, but I def prefer the simplicity and direct approach of TS2, it definitely reminds me more of GE which is a good thing since I adore that game.
I also remember TSFP changing and removing some things that I wasn't particularly fond of but I don't remember so I might be over exaggerating.

>>8935563
>TS2 Hard Mode is Hard
it can be done, anon.
i replayed the game on the hardest difficulty with a spectator last year and managed to beat it again.
it's still a pain in the ass though, but nowhere near as obnoxious as the arcade challenges in that game. holy fucking hell.

>>8935597
I'm aware, but damn it's hair pull inducing.
Not necessarily saying the hard mode should be easier but more so that I don't think I'll ever intend to beat it. Maybe one day...

I like the art in this cover
I want to describe it but it will take too long

>>8933343
>It really is one of the best shooters ever made
>The aiming is painful though
so the most important part of the game is not good, and really isn't one of the best shooters ever made

>>8935562
tsfp is casuallized linear garbage and the Mp maps suck. the only advantage was better map maker, controls and online

>>8934263
PC shooters had no local multiplayer. These games never provided endless hours of good hangs with your buddies. This is why PC autists like this fellow have these opinions. Is pure bitterness and envy. There is so much content and variety packed into these 97-2004 console shooters that past and future generations could never match.

>>8934431
>>8935204
This is the darkest lovecraftian nightmare, a monstrosity of grotesque horror whose torment spans the deepest pits of hell!!! What foul deeds would warrant such a punishment, for ones very soul to be haunted by this abysmal creature of cosmic depredation?!?!?!

MP: TS2 > GE/PD > ts1 / ts2
SP: PD > GE > TS2 > TS1 / TS3

The Scrapyard song from TS2 goes hard. R-One-Oh-Seven is my favorite MP character. Loved golding the challenges/arcade missions. Refined objective based missions from GE/PD pedigree, so nice. Whole OST is a banger really. And you can always unwind a bit with the classic games (Anaconda, anyone?)

>>8933343
>You can hook a Xbox, 360, Xbox one and series s/X together to play local multiplayer on individual TVs

If only I had friends. That would be a fucking hell of an experience

>>8933173
The multiplayer is good, but the campaign is very hit or miss.

>you will never play chicago or neo tokyo in multiplayer

>that one challenge that teases you with siberia MP map but theres no way to unlock it

>>8933173
Not really. Normal difficulty is shit easy and Hard difficulty is tedious.
TS3 holds up better as a shooter, despite TS2 having better variety and music.

>>8936023
Yeah wtf
>It's one of the best puzzle games ever
>An ant could solve the puzzles though

>>8936023
that's honestly a very subjective part of the experience, escape from butcher bay doesn't really have great shooting or aiming but it's an incredible FPS game.
