TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (1924: Scotland the Brave) - Nintendo GameCube Gameplay - (2K 60fps)
1TimeSplitters Future Perfect is the third installment of the TimeSplitters series, released on March 22nd, 2005 in North America and March 25th in Europe for PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox and receiving a Mature Rating from ESRB, and 18+ from PEGI. In the UK, BBFC issued it a 15.
Future Perfect brings back many of the classic Arcade modes (e.g. Arcade Custom, Challenge) from the previous TimeSplitters games. Many of the Arcade maps, characters and weapons from the older games remain as well.
This game was the first in the series to be published by EA, after Free Radical Design changed publishers, possibly after a contract ran out or because of a dispute. The graphics have become greatly improved, while maintaining the signature TimeSplitters cartoonish look. The overall pace of the game is slower than its predecessors, since it features a more plot-driven Story than the frantic pacing of previous titles.
On November 15th, 2021, the Xbox version of Future Perfect, alongside TS2, were made playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S via backwards compatibility.
Future Perfect features a more complex plot, unlike those of its predecessors. In Story mode, you follow Sergeant Cortez through history in his quest to defeat the TimeSplitters. Throughout the story, Cortez teams up with sidekicks both new and returning. The Co-op Story mode makes a return from TimeSplitters 2, allowing you to team up with a friend as you play. Unlike in TimeSplitters 2, if one of the two players dies, it is game over. There is a loop within the story that repeats for eternity, seeing as Cortez is seen going back in time to meet his past self many times and vice versa.
