10 Fan-Demanded Video Game Sequels That Should NEVER Happen

6. TimeSplitters 4

The original Timesplitters trilogy is home to some of the finest first-person shooters ever put to disc and, for a lot of people, were probably their gateway into the arena of competitive multiplayer. There's a reason the second game was featured in Shaun of the Dead; it was good enough to turn everyone who played it into zombies always finding an excuse to have "one more match".

While the final game ended the trilogy on a slight downer, it didn't stop fans from looking forward to Timesplitters 4, a game which was announced all the way back in 2007. Sadly, original developers Free Radical encountered problems that would plague them for years, resulting in the sequel being cancelled, and the team being rolled into Crytek UK and then being laid off entirely.

Consequently, a Timesplitters 4 releasing today would lack the driving force that made the OG trilogy such a personality-driven set of shooters in the first place. The original devs are no longer around to bring it back, and its charms were arguably feeling a little dated back in 2005, with its arcade focus not having the depth or complexity to challenge more competitive FPSs at the time.
