/vr/ - Retro Games

the bots are really creepy. if you make a map where you can get to a weapon but they cant, they'll just stand there and turn to look at you and occasionally take a few steps toward you. if they manage to pick up a gun (such as if you kill yourself and the gun flies toward them), sometimes theyll pick it up and do nothing, other times they'll attack. there seems to be consistency or repeatable pattern for when they do this. really weird.

OP do you really need to use the n-word? I know it's unpopular to say on 4channel but many PoC feel violence when they read the word. We can do better as a community.

>>9045692
no consistency*

>>9045693
i have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

anyone else having a hard time aiming with TS2 on the Xbone?

>>9045709
the sensitivity is fucked up. it actually used to be way worse and they patched it but it's still too responsive, though playable once you get used to it. make sure your game is updated or you might be playing the even worse older version.

sorry anon but this is a blue board

>>9045706
PoC means people of color. It's time to learn and be better.

>>9045716
yeah, i have no idea what you're talking about.

>>9045715
sucks for you i guess

>>9045692
another creepy thing:
>flame tag
>a bot is on fire
>kill them
>right before their death animation ends, run over their corpse and grab the fire
>the bot will now be laying there dead, wont be able to respawn, and will still make pain sounds if you shoot them
>you can do this to every bot in the match until you're the only one left, just a bunch of zombified bot corpses screaming in agony from every shot

>>9045683
What did they mean by this sidequest?

Listen OP
There's so much I like about this series.
But this board doesn't *always* need a Timesplitters thread.
Lay off it.

Well I suppose technically you actually are going to make it, but fuck you, anyway.

This is a doom board, OP
Fuck off to /v/.

Are there any legitimate/competent mods for the timesplitters entries, or are they all texture packs and string edits?

custom 3d meshes, ai nav meshes, animations, etc

>>9046745

>>9046745
they should have taken fixed aim like in FP, snap aiming is shit and only works for non-dual stick schemes

>>9046469
>are they all texture packs and string edits?
Unless I've missed something, pretty much all of them are like that.
Closest mod I can think of for what you're looking for is the mod that made a custom arcade league and added in some new maps like the siberia dam and wild west and making new weapons.
I don't think TS1 and TSFP even have mods unless i'm wrong about that

>>9046279

Looks like it hits the nail in the art style pretty well.

>>9045761
I thought that was a penis, lol

>>9046279
Artstyle is fine, it's the ethics department mentality that's ruining it. Hopefully mods fix this

>>9046735
guess it was time for him to split

>>9047118
that art style fucking sucks. looks like ahitty blender assets and all the characters look like s0i faces

you are sucked into a Timesplitters alternate reality.

you can go to any multiplayer map from any of the three games, but you will be stuck there for eternity. every night, monkeys will spawn and attempt to violently rape and kill you (which will hurt, but you'll come back to life the next morning because this place is basically purgatory and you're immortal). you can choose two weapons to defend yourself, they will have infinite ammo. you also get to choose one non-human character as a friend to hang out with, and two female characters as concubines to service you.

what do you choose?

>>9048672
Go to Ice Station since it's big and easily defensible against the monkeys. Proxy mines and TS1 scifi autorifle for self defense. I'd probably hang out with Stumpy and my hoes would Ravelle Velvet and Jo Beth from FP

>>9048672
i'd probably pick planet X since it's big as fuck and tons of cool spaces. weapons would be TS2 homing launcher and if i had to sleep then proxies, but if not then homing launcher + x2 SBP90s. id pick r109 as my friend so i could use him as my tank cuck for the monkeys to rail and also make him shut the fuck up when he started talking too much. gotta go with anya from TSFP and corp hart from TS2, you know shes sexy underneath that gear

>>9048672
>you can go to any multiplayer map from any of the three games, but you will be stuck there for eternity. every night
Well fuck that sucks, guess I'll choose Spaceways since there's some good sections that'd make for good defense and the location is familiar enough I probably wouldn't go too insane from being there for eternity though I think the other anon had a better idea for Ice Station but the bleakness of that map and seeing the vast void of space would probably depress me from having to be there for so long.
I definitely wouldn't pick any of the bleak. spooky or creepy maps though that's for sure.
>you can choose two weapons to defend yourself
SBP500 or SBP90 for the very fast rate of fire and little recoil as I'm assuming there will be a good supply of ammo for me to deal with the monkey horde. Second choice is Proxy Mines like the other anon mentioned.
>you also get to choose one non-human character as a friend to hang out with, and two female characters as concubines to service you.
Fuck it had to specifically be "non-human" but I'll take R-110 since he's really good at shooting, smart and has a good personality for conversation since he's a super futuristic robot. My two girls of choice are Viola and Christine Malone.

If I could choose a human buddy to have though then I'd pick Cortez since he'd be bro tier and if I had the choice of single player maps to be in then I'd choose Earth in 2401 like in the first mission of TSFP just for the chance that I could use the time machine to fuck off somewhere else even if I'd be back on that hellhole the very next day (assuming the TimeSplitter invasion ISN'T happening).
Also if I could choose more girls for the harem route then I'd take Gretel Mk 2, Cyberfairy, Ringmistress, Angel Forge, Anya and Corporal Hart.

>>9048808
>gotta go with anya from TSFP and corp hart from TS2, you know shes sexy underneath that gear
Based taste

>>9046279
No, looks too much like a Fortnite pack.

>>9046845
yeah, i know what mod you're referring to.
though, in addition to string edits, there are address and value edits. nothing was "added" instead they were made accessible (again?).

anyways, did some digging and found this again:
https://web.archive.org/web/20171221102954/http://ps23dformat.wikispaces.com/Timesplitters+2
i remember this back when i toyed around with porting level geometry to the source engine.
also found something relatively new:
https://discuss.timesplitters.dev/t/pack-unpack-convert-timesplitters-pak-files/21

aside from that, it's starting to look like late millennials and zoomers are hiding everything in their safespace: discord.
such a slap to the face given that the open internet exists, yet everything is starting to end up in that black hole.

>>9048920
Didn't know about these, thanks for posting them as they're great and interesting finds anon.
It is really unfortunate everything is getting sucked up into discord, especially with how there's discords that have that mobile verification trash behind them. Even IF you get into a discord there are modding discords that don't even put up or release info they found and you can only find that out if you become part of the clique or some bullshit like that.

Anyway yeah you're right about that mod I mentioned just making things accessible again with string/address and value edits. Honestly I think your mention of legit/competent mods will maybe only really start happening if that TS2 PC port gets finished from that homefront demo since that's the closest thing we have to a proper port or decomp.

Sidenote, maybe I'm just jaded but depending on how the game will be overall I kind of don't care too much for TS4 because of the current state of the industry, I just want PC releases of TS1,2 and FP or a proper decomp like jak and daxter 1 got and perfect dark is getting

>>9048985
Glad to spread the word, even if it's just a bit.

Discord is fucking up the internet in the same way Amazon, and others web-based marketing services, fucked up retail.
Websites with forums can be archived on the waybackmachine, effectively preserving history.
Discord? Hah, fat chance! Most of their userbase probably don't even know about archive.org let alone appreciate the importance of it for when a domain/service goes under.

>TimeSplitters 4
Yeah, by this point it's been too long. It's like a crush, you take too long to make a move, and they move on to someone (in this context, something) else.
The climate of the gaming industry is fucking whack. At least by the time DN4E finally released, it was prior to stage 5 (wokeism + feminazism + cancel culture) of societal downfall.
Now, if any developer tries to make something interesting, and it doesn't pander to the boys who powder their noses and wear skirts, they're done for.

Perhaps TS4 will have you travel to 2015 to witness the modern unclear family, and the suffering of going to McDonald's and them not having vegan or free range burgers.

Wait a minute, they just might have Cortez travel back in time to [literally] kill Hitler so they can call the game Future Perfecter.

There are a variety of ludicrous possibilities knowing where things are at right now.

>>9049062
Yeah your point about archiving is my biggest problem with discord too, all it takes is someone to have a meltdown and delete the server or delete some posts and then all of that information is gone for good. All of that time and effort wasted in the blink of an eye.

While your mention of the industry and the current state of society is true and I fully agree with you (especially how with what's going on the future years and decades aren't looking good). There are some games that seem to somehow avoid pandering like the destroy all humans remake as one example.
As for TS4 though I have no idea, going from that leaked image it's obvious Cyberfairy got some censorship with the smaller breasts and corset she has now but I find it odd that Maiden in comparison is unchanged though I've already accepted the game won't be like the previous ones e.g. webm related.
I find that a shame since the exaggerated sexualization is obviously a joke and part of the timesplitters charm since it fits with how the series is a giant mixture of everything and it actually works like how sci fi is exaggerated with the retro sci fi aesthetic and the disc shaped UFOs and the gun designs and horror is exaggerated with all the out there zombie designs and then there's all the weird shit like the freaks and mutants.

One thing reading your post made me think of though is how I notice there does seem to be a small but noticeable swing back happening with the archive like all of the decomps happening and the increase in modding in games (particularly older ones) is increasing overall even for some of the niche shit and at least some of the stuff is open source and on github which I'll always take over discord shit.

Don't get me wrong though as I am a fan TS is getting mods even though right now it's still in the early stages but I really hope there's more of a focus on that TS2 PC port and maybe some sort of decomp happens for TS1 in the future.
1/2

>>9049142
Though for TSFP I feel like it'll get left behind due to it's much bigger size as a game overall unless some kind of official PC release happens in the future.

I still find it odd there's no release of TS1,2 and FP on steam since the source files clearly still exist and second sight is on steam and TS4 is actually happening. You'd think that'd happen to try and gain more attention for the series as a form of marketing and attention in anticipation for TS4, especially since there was that random release to make them playable on xbox one.

I also can't get rid of this feeling that TS1,2 and FP will get less attention when TS4 releases because it's obvious that'll get all the attention since it's TS4 and a new game after so long but maybe after that "new game hype" wears off people will go back to the older stuff.

Also I posted the wrong webm in my last post and meant to use this one

Time is ticking anons. It's now or never.

I loved TS2 as a kid. Probably racked up more time on it than any other game. FP was also great but I think it lost some soul as it became less arcade-y.

As an adult I went back to try TS1 and it kicked my ass. Should I persevere with it? Not sure if missing a hidden gem.

>>9049142
>exaggerated sexualization is obviously a joke
the moans some of the female npcs make when they die never fails to make me chuckle.
I don't get their logic with "muh sexualization bad" while they simultaneously argue that body shaming is bad? Seasoned drug addicts make more sense than that.
And, yes, the decomp and archiving projects are nothing short of a blessing. Have hopes for more giga leak related events.
>>9049163
Second Sight is likely on Steam because that game was the only release from FRD to be available on PC in the first place.
It would be mind-blowing if TS4 comes out in such a fashion like the Master Chief Collection did for Halo CE, 2, 3, etc..
As far as source material goes, more often than naught, the developers usually have backups of their project materials somewhere unless there was a liquidation procedure involved where everything had to be eradicated.
If the giga leak was anything to go by, it's definitely a reality that affiliates and subsidiaries still have source materials on their internal networks - dating back by decades.
Now, as far as getting these materials....
Rather not have the suits show up for acting the mickey, virginia.

>>9045714
I tried it but there was no update so I guess I already played with "better" controlls

>>9049249
Yeah, it's a great game too.
>it kicked my ass
Mansion?

>>9048672
Circus, R101, Grendel, Viola and Malone

>>9050559
grendel is not a character and you didnt pick any weapons so i guess the monkeys are going to be pounding your prostate raw every day

>>9049249
Just play TimeSplitters 2. It's still the best one. Unless you have some incredible urge or you're trying to break a speed running record for the first game.

When is the PC remaster being released

Games with a floating crosshair are unplayable. FP is the only timesplitters that still holds up

>>9050885
yeah unplayable for you because you suck at video games lmao

>>9050849
TS2 is definitely the best in the series but TS1 is still worth playing. It has some of the best maps, characters and weapons, and also a few features that TS2 lacks. i would consider calling it my favorite were it not for some major drawbacks compared to TS2.

>>9048865
>spaceways
great pick, one of my favorite maps, also one of the best missions in TS1. SBPs are a good choice although the reload time on the 500 might hurt depending on the number of monkeys trying to rape you to death. proxies would prolly take care of the rest though. there are some really good spots on spaceways like the little cafe area on the top left with the window to the shuttle. as for friends R110 is a good pick but you selected too many girls and also i would be wary of choosing gretel since she would probably clip your penis off with her metal vagoo

>>9049242
what are you even trying to say

>>9049249
What makes TS1 fun for me imo is the pure arcadeyness of it, I'm assuming you're playing something like story on hard and persevering with it really is the best advice I think. The TS1 levels are designed to have to replay them alot so you're able to get through them quickly just like how they brought back the TS1 design for the "TimeSplitters 'Story' Classic" challenges in TS2 and TSFP.
Good luck for mansion tho.

>>9051279
Yeah reload time could suck but that's why I'm kinda hoping like you mentioned the proxy mines will take care of the rest and failing that R110 will take care of it too. For the girls that's why my main two picks would be Viola and Christine Malone with following the rules.

As for Gretel well that's what we have lubrication for.

>>9049258
>the moans some of the female npcs make when they die never fails to make me chuckle.
Yeah same here and your mention of that reminded me of the Impersonator's lines too as they sounded so incredibly stupid they always made me laugh. I remember sometimes me and my friends would pick him and set all the bots to him and use nothing but rocket, homing and grenade launchers.
https://vocaroo.com/1dbvKX9HZ9Oh

And yeah the logic of those people never makes any sense.
The decomp and archiving projects are the only things that make me still have hope and like you said they really are a blessing.

Also makes sense about Second Sight and I don't even want to imagine a TS4 that's like the MCC, that would be phenomenal. Your mention about the liquidation process and source materials still being stored on internal networks is what gives me hope that one day we will get some PC ports of TS1,2 and FP

>>9050869
>>9051297
Homefront Revolution has an easter egg that allows you to play few levels of Timesplitters 2 in an arcade cabinet. Lucky there's a redux mod that fixes everything, so buy it while on discount.

>>9051428
dude, if you have a PC then you emulate the games on dolphin/pcsx2 in 4K and locked 60fps, fuck that shit messed up homefaggot port and fuck paying for anything. i want to slap you, you dumb fag.

>>9051445
Nitpicking much?
Redux mod is the closest thing we ever gotten a PC port of Timesplitters 2.
So be grateful that you can play something on a native hardware instead.

i always found tomb and cyberden(? third level) to be the hardest, although i haven't played ts1 in years.. docks another one, great music

>>9053904
no, mansion is easy as fuck. literally all you need to do is memorize the locations of any zombies with shotguns, where there really arent very many of even on hard. you either peek around a corner and shoot them before they notice you (which, even if you fail to headshot them will make them drop their gun), or run past the corner for a second to trigger their agro, hide behind corner and then pop out again to blast them. it's really not a bad level.
