Perhaps Sir Chimpalot will be a character in the game? And is this new logo shown going to be the final one? It is certainly different to the others.

New letters and a new advert on www.frd.co.uk

Not at lot more new information from the letters section, except Free Radical Design seem to be serious when they mention TimeSplitters 2 HD. Perhaps one day it will become a reality? Also, in reply to my letter (I feel special :P) no interest has been given to my story idea (:(). See the new letters here - http://www.frd.co.uk/letters.php

There has also been a new advert. This one is from 2007 and focuses on recruitment for HAZE.

New concept art for TimeSplitters 4 and it will use a “new and double shiny” game engine

Please do not ask for TS2 HD. How pointless would buying TS2 all over again be? Just for HD? Who needs it?

Even more letters

Twice in a month? Very extraordinary. Unfortunately Dave Doak wont be a character in TimeSplitters 4. :(

New FRD letters

Yes, thats right. Your, every now and then, dose of humour and answers to questions has arrived. The main things to take out is that there are no definite platforms for TS4 yet. Even the Sega Megadrive has a chance. Also there has been a small demo made to test out differnt styles for TS4. Everything is going nicely, as said. TS4 wont be rushed unlike HAZE, rather, was.

Interview with Graeme Norgate

How did you get started with composing video game music?

When I had first had a Spectrum, it was around the time I was learning to play keyboards. I wanted a way to combine my two favourite things, playing games and music. After a few unsuccessful attempts to get into the games composing in the Amiga days (I’m looking at you Hewson and Pysgnosis) I got into Rare after replying to an advert in Edge.
