R107 SaysIt's out next week as part of a double-pack with San Francisco Rush.
Dear Free Radical,
There has been a big discussion over at timesplitters4.net about jumping in the upcoming installment of the timesplitters series. Most of us have agreed that jumping shouldn't be included, others have thought otherwise. Do you believe jumping will be included in TS4?

R107 SaysWe're still discussing it…
Dear Free Radical,
I came across this idea on TS4.net, but can you make David Doak a character in TS4, maybe an FRD building as a level? The guns could be staple guns and other office stuff? It could be an arcade league challlenge...

-Ben
R107 SaysWe couldn't include Doak because he'd be THE MOST DEADLY CHARACTER EVER, and it would thusly unbalance the game.
Dear Free Radical,
personaly I think the best bossible solution for Timesplitters 4 is to bring it on all threeplatforms, you did great with all versions on last generation systems, and probably made a few fans too.
I think its only fair that fans can choose the platform they will enjoy the multiplayer sweetness of Timesplitters 4.
Cheers

R107 SaysSounds sensible.
Dear Free Radical,
I am very impressed with your TS4 work right now. Keep up the good work! Can't wait

R107 SaysAt least someone noticed.
Dear Free Radical,
I just wanted to say that I too love the Dreamcast....
Have you every played Shenmue on it?
Oh, btw, I love TS2 and TS3. I will be looking forward to seeing you in TS4.
That is all....

R107 SaysShenmue was amazing – after my father was brutally murdered in front of me, I walked outside and spent two hours feeding a kitten with dried fish.
dear R-one-oh-seven,

-Dan
R107 SaysYou know, you are a human and thereby you could technically make your own 'human gun noises' for any game you choose.
Dear Free Radical,
Are any characters being carried on into the 4th game?
I hope you are (did you find out where the batteries went by the way?) and Duckman.
Anything about the Secret LucasArts project? Rumours abound that its battle front 3

-J
R107 SaysYou can expect to see some old favourites in TimeSplitters 4, although Duckman is busy trying to break into the music business. He is working on an album with Howard The Duck called "It's A Duck's Life". I keep telling him that it's all too duck-centric and that he is thereby alienating a large section of the market, but all he does is quack.
Dear Free Radical,
I always thought for some time, me and my friend (that lived far away) were the only ones that new about Timesplitters, like it was one of those games no one knows about. So I thought, why didn't people know about it? Why haven't you guys ever tried advertising on the internet, magazines or T.V.
Also, in case you ever needed extra cash, just make Harry Tipper or someone drink a coca-cola right before kicking some butt and wham-bam you have some money.
Yours,
-Quinn

R107 SaysR107's answer is sponsored by Preparation H – For those hard to reach itches:
You could save us the effort of advertising if you would stop being to selfish and just buy 4,500,000 copies.

R107 SaysWhat, like that guy out of Police Academy who talked like he was mad?
Dear R107,
I apologise for mentioning the obvious question (When, how soon is when and when cannot come quick enough) regarding the launch of TS4. But a horrible thing has happened due to length of time since Future Perfect came out. My very own mother has developed supreme multiplayer skills and can wield a mini-gun with hideous ease. So please maintain the status-quo and launch TS4 before my mother discovers where you live and also so I can play with my friends in peace and my mother can resort to whats she's good at....Standing in the way of the telly!!! Arrrggghhh

R107 SaysGet her onto Haze. That should keep her busy. If there's one thing that all Mothers love, it's shooting people to death in South America.
Dear Free Radical,
Please tell me when TS4 going to be released.

P.S-IF YOU DONT THELL BE A KNIFE IN YOUR HEAD

R107 SaysA knife in my head? God I'm glad I don't actually have to meet you people.
Dear Free Radical,
Do you guys still play the past games (maybe even for reference for TS4)? I've had a blast with those playing them from time to time. Though I can't wait for TS4 to come out soon!
P.S. Disregard the fact that you're from the past games, lol.

R107 SaysCat Racing is still a firm favourite. But with a real cat.
Dear Mr R107,
What about a new game with the great Dr John Vattic?
Please, don't make a dreamcast joke!

R107 SaysThe Dreamcast is NOT A JOKE. Also, yes, we'd love to do another Second Sight, or even re-release it on the Wii. All we need now is for a publisher to ask us to do it…
Hey,
i would like to appologize for one of my last letters about using the haze engine for ts4. i really based my opinion on the haze demo and the reviews. so today i got to play the actual full game and i was quite impressed. i just wish you made it for xbox 360 also. but besides all that just keep doin what yall are doin. do whatever you want with ts4 and it will probably still be good.
thank you
-Randy

R107 SaysGod bless you, Randy. Don't let your nickname at school get to you.
Greetings R-107,
I see you're quite fond of the Dreamcast. Any particular reason for this? Also, what games would you recommend for it?
-Shepard

-Shepard
R107 SaysI love the Dreamcast specifically for Dynamite Cop II. It is, without question, the greatest game ever made. In one boss battle, you throw apples at an obese chef until you knock him out – the irony is just staggering.
Yo,
can we get a new toaster? i was makin beans on toast this morning an not only did the bloody toaster spark some scary blue stuff at me but it also made a small black triangle in the top left of of of my slices of toast!

R107 SaysTotally. The toaster is a death trap.

R107 SaysYour message needs more capital letters. Also, I'm sure our story guy will find some way to make sense of time travel in a way that physicists never could.
R107 SaysActually they're not nice. They both draw pornographic pictures of The Flintstones and then become aroused by their own drawings. I wouldn't trust them with a boiled egg.
