That's the link for the US store. It's $2.69 currently on the Aus store, link in a comment below. Cheers for the heads up, though.
TS2 was ace.
Man i use to love this game as a kid, played it for hours with my brother after school. Best thing my mum ever got me!
The game or your brother?
These days maybe just the game 😉
Yeah, one of the best games I have played as a kid. I'd hate to know the hours I sunk into this.
Such great memories of this game.
The next best, modern Goldeneye at the time.
Even had The Facility multiplayer map if I remember correctly.
Not sure how well it would play these days though.
Yah but it's available in 4K as a secret in Homefront: The Revolution.
Which is $1.99.
Real deal is in the comments :p Saved you all a dollar, got you a bonus game and high rez.
Edit: unless buying direct is the 4k release too?
Hahha nice! Do you have to beat the game to unlock?
You'll have to Google. I don't remember. Both games are in my pile of shame.
Unlock Arcade Mode: Left+LT+RT, Down+LT+RT, Left+LT+RT, B+LT+RT, Left+LT+RT, Down+LT+RT, Y+LT+RT, X+RT, A+LT.
With detail like that I can see how you got your name!
Now, everyone can play as much of TimeSplitters 2 as they want - though, fair warning, you do still need to play a lot of Homefront: The Revolution to get there. Its arcade cabinet holding TimeSplitters 2 lies in a late-game level you'll need to reach first before unlocking access to TimeSplitters 2 from its main menu. Hey, if only there was an unlock code for that!
Yeah but one of the stage always crashes
So it's not finishable?
OG Xbox games run in native 4K on the Xbox One X and Series X, so these Timesplitters games play in 4K too.
Good to know. Though you'll need to finish the game first, according to that link.
PS4 and Xbox One owners would need to finish Homefront: The Revolution first before they can access TimeSplitters 2 easter egg from the Extras menu.
@jwh: They obviously don’t know what they’re talking about. The machine is discovered half way through the game
BRICK MODE!
Oh man, is this the one that starts with a snow level? Really scratched that Goldeneye itch.
Yeah the Siberian dam level?
Pretty sure it was the same dev team, wasn't it? Didn't it go Goldeneye->Perfect Dark->TimeSplitters?
Yeah some of the ex-Rare guys formed Free Radical.
I would love to see the amount of hours I put into this on GameCube, was easily one of my favourite games as a kid.
During one of the various COVID lockdowns I bought a GameCube PC controller and played TimeSplitters 2 (+ other games) on an emulator for a bit just to get the nostalgic feels again
100% worth the $2.99 price tag. Underrated game.
Don't think about it, just get it.
Fun fact: most of the programmers, game designers, sound engineers and artists who developed GoldenEye 007 & Perfect Dark on the N64 working for Rare left the company after the Microsoft acquisition and developed their own studio Free Radical - who went on to produce TimeSplitters 2.
The opening level is pretty much a callback to Dam, and many of the game mechanics are clearly inspired.
After being ever so slightly disappointed with the recent Goldeneye 'remakes', I went and played some Timesplitters instead. Definitely had more fun, with the Goldeneye feel.
If you're into some GoldenEye nostalgia, I literally just last night finished Perfect Dark on Perfect Agent using this mouse injector modded emulator: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8mL0I__VMec
While there's some punishing old school game design in there I was absolutely amazed at how well it held up, had an absolute blast playing it again.
so are the xbox games playable on pc? i remember hearing something about that
if i already own OG xbox copied of timesplitters 2 & 3, i can just use these to play on my Xbox one yeah? Would i still get the 4k upgraded version as mentioned y another poster above or is it only the digital purchase that would get that?
Controls are janky…anyone else find this?
Yeah TS2 doesn't have the same options as TS3 so you can really get it to feel right. Bit disappointing but it is what it is!
I thought 3 was slightly better…
Wish they had this on game pass so I could play anywhere ah
