Free Radical Design is a video game developer, based in Nottingham, England.
Company Background Sometimes abbreviated FRD, the company is well known for their TimeSplitters video game series. Initially, most of FRD's employees previously worked for the game developer Rare. While at Rare, the future FRD team (which consisted of team leader Martin Hollis, David Doak, Steve Ellis, Karl Hilton, Graeme Norgate and Lee Ray) worked on the Nintendo 64 titles GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark. In late 1998 and early 1999 this team left Rare to form their own company. Free Radical Design was up and running by April 1999 with their first release being TimeSplitters for the PlayStation 2 in 2000. TimeSplitters attracted a lot of attention at the time, because much of the coverage associated with the game made sure to note that it was developed by former Rare employees who had worked on the critically acclaimed first person shooter GoldenEye 007.
