Crytek president Cevat Yerli reckons that if he can get 30,000 signatures on an online petition, Crytek will be in a better position to make a new TimeSplitters game.
It’s all about demand. Though Yerli would very much like to make a sequel, he has to be able to demonstrate that people actually want it.
“I would love to see the game out there, as a newborn HD version or what not,” he said. “I definitely would love to see it. But the case of turning this into a business decision is still difficult.
Of course there’s already a petition out there. It launched in mid-October but failed to pick up more than a few thousand signatures.
“Unfortunately the petition doesn’t look that convincing,” said Yerli. “If the petition picks up it will be an even better argument for us.”
“There’s a very hardcore market that is very verbal about it. I would love to see this, and if the fan base approves a further petition. They’re trying to call 300,000 voices, I think it’s at two or three thousand right now.
“If they could get the petition together I would be very happy to put in front of decision makers in the company, the key stakeholders, and say ‘Look here. This is how it is, let’s make it now.’”
Thanks to media exposure the petition has already picked up a bunch of new signatures, but it’s still way short. Want TimeSplitters 4? You know what to do.
