Satoshi this is great stuff to hear. The splitscreen online feature is great. Did you test that out actually?
Ok so now I am about to survey you hehe, if you would help out it would be great. Does the game have Harddrive support? (probobly not but asking anyways, only answer if you have a HD and can test) Keyboard chat support? If it does support the usb keyboard, please specify where. As far as LAN is concerned. Can you please test setting up a LAN game and create a game, and make sure it doesn't bring up any DNAS games. I need ultra 100% verification so really keep your eyes open. The reason I say this and am being so overly paranoid is, no EA game has ever had LAN before. Obviously Free Radical puts more tender loving care into their titles, so the inclusion of LAN is great. I just want to make sure its all fully functioning. If you could, test it while connected to a router and "not" connected to the internet. That would be the ultimate test, but it's not required. I'm glad to hear this game brings home the bacon and gives PS2 owners some MUCH needed firepower. Future Perfect sounds like a "complete game". Much in the veign of games like Toca 2, TMB:O and Socom 2, where the game comes with a full complete offline and online feature set. |

I'm assuming there's no actual chatting function for the keyboard, but I'll try that out in addition to whether or not it can be used to input information (map information, account info, etc.).

I went into the LAN mode just to see and it loaded it up. It did the "connecting to network" thing, but it did NOT display a DNAS screen like it does for online mode. It gave me a list of available matches, of which there were none (obviously). I hit "new game," but never actually started one, just kinda sat in the lobby. I'll do the "ultimate test" (router, but no internet) later tonight when no one in my household actually needs to get online. Quote:

I'm amazed that Free Radical has given us a wonderful game (should I really be surprised though? It was expected  ).
My EA account is OCsatoshi and my persona is OCsatoshi as well. I'm still trying to figure out why my persona from my little brother's account is tied to his account despite the fact that I've deleted it over and over... Edit: Oh yea: It tracks online stats (age verification thing sucks... put in a year like 1970 or something and then try this link again) Edit again: I just did a preliminary test with my keyboard. My lil bro was sending messages to some online buddies via the built-in EA messenger/buddy list thing, so I plugged my keyboard in to see if it would work. They keyboard lights up (my keyboard glows), but I could not turn off the num/caps/scroll locks, nor could I actually type anything. 'Tis a shame. It should be pretty harmless to add keyboard support... Edit yet again: More information: When playing splitscreen online, players 2-4 take on the following names: Guest#:$player_ones_name. So, for example, if my brother and I were playing splitscreen online, I would be OCsatoshi and he would be Guest1:OCsatoshi. I HAVE seen Guest2's, meaning there were three people on that specific console playing. I have yet to see any Guest3's, though. |

I personally prefer keyboard chat to headset chat. Oh well, with Timesplitter FP's features, it's kind of hard to argue hehe

MAN thats the first time that has happened since the Dreamcast(tons of Dreamcast games had splitscreen / multiple players online. I know Halo could do 4 player over system link and all but, man, this is actuall online. That is really awsome. Spidhopddy wrote:

I recently tried Timesplitters 3: Future Perfect out and man, this game is awesome! I highly reccomend this to anybody with a slight interest in shooters.
Free Radical finally fixed the aiming issue, allowing you to use a fixed crosshair instead of having to press a button to aim. -Mytho |
