New TimeSplitters IP

Looks like .FreeRadical and Ubisoft are coming together to make a new FPS. Two of the best of today's development companies are going to make a more adult oriented (don't read: dirty) game where you have to face dilemas and your own morals while playing.

Too often have games tried to make players make decisions but with poor planning. It would be nice to see a game with writing that actually made sense. Make the player make a decision that no matter what they choose, the game will continue to spur off with completely different levels and endings.

Most games make you choose, but either allow you to go back and do the other choice too or just end up looping back up with the other branch, just without something you might have picked up to make the game easier.

Nontheless, those moments in games are so easy to pick up on and see, a player could really sit there and think about it and figure out what the game is really trying to make you do. It would be nice if the decisions really meant something in the game, even if it did mean more programming/development time.
