Free Radical Closing Down
Edge - December 18, 2008
Submitted by apujanata (4) at 5:08AM PST on December 19, 2008
Free Radical, creator of Timesplitter, are closing down. Co-founder Ellis was "visibly upset" when he talked to the staff. "[He] told staff how very sorry he was and they'd been doing all they could, working flat-out to either find a publisher or a buyer over the past six months, but no offers were made. There have been several visits to the States, but to no avail." Reps from Codemasters and Monumental Games were at the hotel after the meeting asking for CVs and applications.

apujanata posted on Industry News at 4:05PM PST on December 22, 2008. Article: Factor 5 Officially Closed?Last week Gamasutra was able to confirm that nearly half of the San Rafael, California-based studio's workforce had been let go. The remaining 38 were forced to take pay cuts in order to allow them to remain at the company. According to a report by IGN’s Matt Casamassina, the entire studio may have been forced to close. Reproducing part of an e-mail from an “inside source” at the company, the report suggests that the company has already closed.

@apujanata,
so sorry about them. Timesplitters 3 made me look forward to 4 sooooooo much

@apujanata,
Sadly I think Haze did for them as they couldn't seen to get Timesplitters 4 signed to a publisher, strange as it's a proven IP.
Final nail was LucasArts moving Battlefront to another dev.

@apujanata,
I enjoyed timesplitter in Arcade, so I am sad. This news could be viewed as proof that NOT everyone in the video game industry are recession proof. It is also a pity that they were from Rare, and created Golden Eye 007 (one of the old game I planned to play, but haven't got around to it yet).

The bad news keep piling up. I enjoyed playing Star Wars:Rogue Squadron II & III from them. One of the best game (graphically) on GCN.
