NEW -- 7-5-2012:
G4TV -> 57 minutes footage of Free Radical's cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront III.

OLD:
Crytek bought out Free Radical Games, who were the makers of Haze and TimeSplitters series; Free Radical will now become known as Crytek UK.

Man I played the shit out of Timesplitters 2. I would be cool to see another. After playing so many other shooters though, I think the way your aim drifts away from center screen when you move would drive me nuts. (the way aiming worked in GE, PD, and TS)

Huh.  That's really strange.  Also, I thought I heard that Free Radical had closed or was closing?  Maybe that's why they got purchased?

Yup, they were about to close...

Maybe that's why they got purchased?

Yup, so Crytek Corp decided to buy them out.

No clue on details yet if Crytek Corp. also got FR's original IP's and whatnot.
My guess -- probably.

Meh, no big loss. I would love to see a Battlefield 3 Star Wars mod though
