TimeShift trailer bends time on XBLM
The recently released trailer for TimeShift, the time-bending shooter from Sierra, has now landed on Xbox Live Marketplace. For those of you with unsuitable streaming capabilities, you can finally watch the trailer in all its high definition glory. In case you need a recap, TimeShift allows players to manipulate time in myriad ways. For example, you can stop time in order to evade oncoming bullets (and fire a few return bullets as well). Granted, time manipulation isn't exactly a new concept, but TimeShift looks to at least make it interesting. Go download the trailer and enjoy. Of course, if you're not picky about resolution, you could always just watch the streaming trailer right now.TimeShift is set to arrive this fall.
TimeShift video bends reality in a good way
Shortly after a handful of new screens, a new trailer of TimeShift has assaulted the internets with both time-altering guns blazing. The main character used time powers to thwart a squad of baddies and a tank. The trailer is pre-rendered, but the concepts within it are pretty tantalizing. Watching the character stop time, disarm a soldier and wipe out all the rest of them is pretty nifty. And taking out the tank ... well, we don't want to spoil it, but it's pretty cool. Now, if the actual game can live up to the excitement generated by this trailer, we may just be on to something special.
New Timeshift screens abound
Xboxyde got a hold of some very pretty screens of Timeshift, the FPS from developer Saber Interactive and publisher Vivendi. The water effects from the rain and the textures on the side of the building are a sight to behold, showing the power the developer's Saber 3D engine. Other screens show some sexy smoke effects and minor explosions. While details are a little scarce on the game, other than some of the cool time manipulation effects, are you intrigued by how its playing out?
New screens of TimeShift, trailer soon
Fresh new screens of TimeShift have been unearthed. The good news: they look pretty nice. Even better, they look markedly improved over the screenshots that were released last July. For those that don't know, TimeShift began as an Xbox 1 project which then migrated to the Xbox 360. It was originally being owned by Atari and subsequently picked up by Sierra. The game is being developed by Saber Interactive and centers around time bending powers such as slowing and stopping time. The game also features online multiplayer for up to 16 players across 14 different maps. The official website has a countdown to a new trailer, which is just over ten days away at the time of this writing. TimeShift is due this fall.

Xbox 360 impressions: TimeShift
TimeShift has nailed balance. Our biggest fear about this game was that the ability to control time (slow down, pause, and rewind it) would make it too easy. This is not the case, even on normal difficulty. We got laid out on our first attempt when we decided to rush a seemingly innocent pair of enemies.At first glance, TimeShift appears to be a run n' gun shooter, but it calls for strategy. Of course, this often boils down to attacking (and draining your time controls powers), retreating, recharging, and repeating. Thankfully, the AI is moderately intelligent and will seek you out if aware of your presence.We were disappointed with the visuals, which certainly don't live up to second wave (Xbox 360) expectations. This can likely be attributed to a painful development cycle that has seen two different publishers and abandoned an Xbox version. Still, the time control concept adds an interesting twist to an otherwise mediocre FPS, as it looks to offer a stimulating mix of attack strategies and environmental puzzles.[Note: TimeShift will also feature multiplayer modes. Details were not available at the Vivendi booth.]
