R107 SaysSend me some clay and I'll see what I can do.
Dear Free Radical/R107
What is your opinion on all of these children demanding exclusives for their consoles? Will you comply, because making a game exclusive is (in my opinion) as bad of a decision as hiring Uwe Boll as a game designer. I'm hoping you release on all systems, so everyone can enjoy the shining solid gold glory that is the Time Splitters series.

R107 SaysActually, Uwe Boll is GREAT at designing games. Unfortunately, he is terrible at making movies. Anyway, it does seem pretty logical to do multi-platform releases from a commercial point of view, but sometimes if we really love a particular console then we'll do an exclusive. And by 'love' I mean 'receive money from'.
Dear Funny-Sounding Robot Man
The results of the polls of this site and the overall success of the Wii point to a Wii version. If so, will you promise TS4 Wii won't be Imagine Timsplitterz?

-Sheershaw
R107 SaysI personally would like to thank everyone who voted, and it will be taken under consideration. Unfortunately the results will probably be declared null and void, because we forgot to include an option for the Atari Lynx.
R107 SaysMeet me in room 368. Come alone.
R107 SaysHe was going to. However, I am sorry to report that Graeme 'Dingamagoo' Norgate died in a horrible keyboard-related accident earlier this month. I would like to take this opportunity to respectfully extend my best wishes to his family, through the letters page on a website where I have to pretend to be a robot. Amen.

R107 SaysIt's a wacky game where funny little dudes shoot each other with zany weapons. See you in January.
R107 SaysI usually use a calendar for this kind of information, but thanks anyway.
Dear Free Rad,

R107 Says'Song' implies lyrics. If you makes some up and send them to us, I'll put some more tracks on the website. Deal?

R107 SaysSometimes I wish I would go to sleep and never wake up.
Dear Free Rad,
I'm so psyched for TS4! as a huge fan of the series, I only ask for a few additions to the game:
multiplayer on challenges and arcade league (I get lonely)
the ability to leap, slide and roll like the bots do in arcade mode (I've always been jealous of that)
more vehicles on arcade mode and better controls for them. (may I suggest halo for inspiration)
a continuation of the geniusly outlandish ideas free radical comes up with. Your creativity is unparalleled.

R107 SaysMuch as I appreciate you saying so, I don't know if our 'creativity is unparalleled' since we never thought to include a jump button in the last three games.
Dear Free Radical
I want to thank you for being one of the few game developors who include bots for multiplayer. Please keep putting them in your games. Please include them for all game modes in TS4 please. Do you think you could release a patch to include bots in the other game modes on Haze? Thank you for your time.

R107 SaysBots rule. They should put them in everything - Myst, Myst II, Myst III, you name it. As for the patch, there are no current plans to do that, but if someone buys another million copies of Haze, then I'll get right on it.
