Dear Free Radical,
Ever since I discovered the joy that is timesplitters, I can't really get into more realistic games. I try to play games like rainbow six and and I have urges to run around at breakneck speed with two plasma pistols rather than cower behind obstacles with a flashbang grenade. Which brings me to my question: Is Haze going to be more action-y like your previous games, or more realistic like the rest of the bunch?

R107 SaysTimeSplitters was well-balanced and playable as hell. You can bet your purpley-pink ass that Haze will be the same in those respects, but it's a much more 'adult' experience. Make of that what you will.
Dear Free Radical,
Watch this space.
It has recently come to my attention that Haze will rock, and therefore Timesplitters and any other game Free Radical has created must rock. Is this a certifiable fact? Would you reccomend your games to Cheesus Crust? Because I have high standards and high cholesterol. And that, sir, is a certifiable fact.
Anyway, under the seemingly mundane-ness-es of this message is a 'lil thing I wanted to say: "Haze looks awesome and you guys rock (s'long as you don't insult me?)"
Yargh, GEWDBAH!
Oh and I have no skills in programing, 3D animation/modelling or anything computer wise. And I have no creativity. And still in school. Want to hire me? I'm prepared for minimum wage! JOY!

R107 SaysWe'd love to bring you on board, except even the people with Masters degrees here still work for food and shelter. Also, Haze rocks - but I still have to insult you. It's something of a tradition. So: you smell like urinal cakes. Goodbye.
hello's...,
im studying game art at dmu and our course is g33k central. there is a massive arguement currently taking place about who would win in a scrap between FREE RAD & RARE.
i (obviously) sided with you guys cos doak looks hard and (being a notts based developer) you all (probably) carry guns.
the rare whores reckon that they would just get gate's to make you guys "dissapear"...
btw rare ignored our comments about this so if you reply (even if just to dis me for being such a twig that i bothred to write this) then you get "RESPECT G" and it will somehow benefit you...

R107 SaysWe love Rare. They're good guys. Kudos to them on Perfect Dark Zero, and Viva Pinata. I guess the question is whether you think GoldenEye, the original Perfect Dark and the TimeSplitters series are better games...

R107 SaysYou'll find a whole lot more online about Haze very soon. Patience, son.
R107,
I am the proud owner of a Gamecube and a Wii (yes, i am aware of the fact the the Wii is backwards compatible) and i must say that I was very dissapointed that the Wii doesn't have enough capability to run Haze. With that said, every waking moment of my life has been spent waiting for a TimeSplitters 4. But a few things came up in my mind... if Haze is such a complex game that it can't be run on a Wii, then will any upcoming games be more or just as complex, making the Wii an obsolete system in the eyes of the company?
Although, TimeSplitters is known for being more of a cartoony than realistic series. Meaning that if there is to be another TimeSplitters, would it be Wii compatible?
Another point to be made is that as much as the world loves TimeSplitters, Second Sight was a great game and another game (sequel?) with a similar control scheme and story would be just as good as another TimeSplitters.
And as much as people joke about it, TimeSplitters: The Movie starring Vin Diesel would be pretty good.
Who came up with the idea to accually have a story to TimeSplitters: Future Perfect?? Whoever s/he is, s/he deserves a pat on the back and a commemoritive plaque.
But I must admit that the non-story-esque style to TS1 and TS2 made for a very interesting way to see the missions.... by creating your own story.
All in all, I'm sure the general public would appreciate a game rated "T" rather than "M" as the only way I can get my hands on Future Perfect is via my friend's house (yeah, I'm 14).
Much appreciation,
-Matt

R107 SaysThank you for your long letter, Matt. I read most of it, then I had someone summarize the rest for me in note form.
We don't discount the Wii. In fact, we think it's great and we look forward to doing something on it in due course. What and when? No idea.
As for the movie, it's being discussed.

R107 SaysWhere? Wait, are you talking about me?
Dear Free Radical,
You know what would be really cool? If you guys made a Judge Dredd game. I'm sure you would make a real good one at that, seeing as you nail both gameplay and humor with Timesplitters. I've just gotten Judge Dredd vs Death by Rebellion, and even thou it's a solid game, it really doesn't reach it's full potential. Do you think it is possible, sometime in the future, that FRD make a Judge Dredd game? Also, do you (The guy that pretends to be R107) do anything besides answering letters? Finally, Haze seems awesome. Keep up the good work!

R107 SaysThere already is a Judge Dredd game. I'm sure it's excellent. And for the record, all I do is answer these letters. It's enough for any man.
