TimeSplitters 2 - Detailed Look at 2001 Demo's Secrets
34The earliest build of TimeSplitters 2 available is a demo from 2001. Set in the Siberia level, it features a blend of TS1's fast-paced mechanics with TS2's objective style and enemy types. It has hidden weapons, objectives locked behind an end screen, and tons of unused text! A hex-editor can be used to dig into it and read about the weapons, level names, and characters of TS2 during this point of development. We'll take a detailed look at all of this and more!
The Jungle Queen, Wood Golem, and Stone Golem are mentioned in the character list. I just ran out of room in the image to feature them, and I wanted to prioritize the characters with different names.
Thank you to devildwarf for helping me access the hidden weapons and extra objectives using Cheat Engine! His cheat table proved immensely useful in the creation of this video.
