Crytek 'approve' of TimeSplitters mod powered by CryEngine

A Facebook group for TimeSplitters with 100,000 supporters has just been blessed by developer Crytek. Its leader, Daniel Wesoly, has been given the nod to put together a mod team for the series.

The plan is to use Crytek’s fancy CryEngine tech to produce their own title, and Wesoly hopes they’ll ”let us use assets from the original TimeSplitters game” for that added spice.

”I have just had word from Crytek that they are going to permit and support a TimeSplitters CryEngine mod,” posted Daniel Wesoly on the Facebook group.

He’s now planning to put together a mod team to tackle the ambitious project of bringing the series back to life. ”I am now looking for modders that can handle the CryEngine. If I manage to get a group together, then they may let us use assets from the original TimeSplitters game!” he continued.

The idea is to ”build a TimeSplitters all-in-one. All the levels, all the characters and all the weapons.” Wesoly asks all those interested should contact him via his Gmail or Skype account. ”This is BIG for anyone that wants to get into the gaming industry!” Visit the TimeSplitters 4 Facebook group for more details and contact info.
