Although I admit I havent played PD too much but from what I played it wasnt very fast.

The framerate was the worst I have ever seen ( ALMOST ). Although on its own the game might be fast, but compared to TS series its as slow as a snail ( or turtle ).

Well comparing two titles from two different gens in terms of speed is a no-no...

Perfect Dark was pretty fast for it's time, but the speed is noticable slow now that most games have a smooth and steady framerate...

Joeamis, sorry for the confusion, using the quote system really helps take care of that though.  I'll admit that when it got those frame rate hiccups, PD could slow down a lot.  If you compare a TS2 match and and PD match brimming with simulants, TS2 will win.  When playing with human characters only, I remember PD being a lot faster than TS2, but that could possibly be due to what Bill has said- that PD was fast for its time so my memory could be playing tricks.
Also I'd like to point out that the shift to the dual stick controllers can make a game appear fast because you can turn that much more quickly.  When I first played TS2, I changed the controllers to play more like PD.  That could possibly have been my problem.

It's alright, yea i should've quoted it,
I must admit I decided not to because
alot of responses lately from people
have done it the way I did in that post.

It's true PD was fast for it's time, and oddly
I rarely ever encountered slowdown with it.

i played the 1st timespliters on ps2 its so stupid. is 3 coming to other console or just ningc?

[joeamis]

Timesplitter 1 was a launch title given so
it may not be impressive, I never played the
first one but from what I've heard it was
really designed with the emphasis being multiplayer
and thus not a great single quest,
the same can be said for TS2 to a lesser degree.
but to answer your question, TS3 from what
I've heard is supposed to grace all 3 home consoles.

I personally loved the character designes in TS2.  It was a refreshing artistic flare one what *could* have been another cookie cutter first person shooter.

[Shift Key]

How could you bag the character design? Its the only game I can remember where you can play as a monkey! And how can you not laugh at characters like "Ample Sally"?

This guy is the funniest dude ever. Take a look at his Signiture. Thnx for the avater Bull. LOL

Anyway TS 1 was made in 8 months. Sony came up to FR and told them they want a launch title ...in 8 months time TS was made.

TS2 was made to let FR put in what they wanted in TS 1.

Trust me I know ...I am a MAJOR TS fan of the series ( Which is best on PS2 ).

I think the graphics look a lot better, but I will miss the more cartoony characters of the previous games.  To me, they made TS2 stand out from the other shooters, and it also gave it a certain Nintendo flavour.  There are plenty of realistic first person shooters and military simulations out there right now, I want something a bit crazier and more fantasy based.

Like... Yoshi's Safari: Jungle Storm?

I'd have to agree with that, only because the PS2 controller is superior to the craptastic GCN controller when it comes to FPS. The c-stick makes me cry.

[akdaman1]

The main problem is that its hard to turn and shoot at the same time. If you can get past that then the GCN version is superior ( the gfx and sound ).

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I don't like using the C-stick for aiming.  In fact, I don't think it should be allowed at all.  Left-analog 43var!

Oh the beauty of custom controls. I swear I have my setup that nearly copies Goldeneye to a "T".

[Syl]

I'm surprised that people mind dual stick so much, i personally love it.

[Oldskool]

I hope the ex-rare members of Free Radical "convince" EA to add online or at the least LAN support for the GCN. If there is gonna be LAN/Online support that is.
