On this episode of Bullet Time, returning special guest ChariotRider welcomes TehSnakerer and James to DreamWorks Interactive’s 1997 game Trespasser, the third entry in the Jurassic Park franchise. Although a technical marvel for its time, were Trespassers developers so preoccupied with whether or not they could make the game that they didn’t stop to think if they should?

Our Free Radical Design mini-series comes to a close with 2016’s Homefront: The Revolution. James and guest host TehSnakerer dissect this open-world reboot that passed from THQ to Crytek before landing in the hands of a now rebranded Dambuster Studio. The pair rank its place in the pantheon of Ubisoft collectathons, the state of AAA shooters, and answer what if any TimeSplitters DNA exists in the title (outside of its well-known easter egg).

Special guest MrHammers joins James and guest host TehSnakerer to discuss multiplayer map memories, who’d win in a hypothetical deathmatch, the games of 2002, and James makes a case for why this title should be the Tetris of FPS games.

Formed by ex-Rare staffers responsible for the groundbreaking GoldenEye 007, we travel back in time to their very first solo release: 2000’s Timesplitters. James and guest host Tehsnakerer do their best to avoid comparing this game to its successor, debate its credentials as a boomer shooter, celebrate its flair of user-generated content, and talk about school trips of years gone by.
