Timeshift!

[V1P3R]

OMFG how is there no thread for this!? I played it a long time ago and wrote it off because it was frustrating then my friend played it and peaked my interest again. I gave it a chance and got though it. After understanding and getting used to this game it's so damn bloody awesome! I loved everything about it!

Get more info here!

edit: Multiplayer looks horribly complicated... I'm assuming there's time shift abilities but how would one know if it was timeshift or lag?

4Not that you guys care, apparently but there's a way to get this game for maybe $28.94 and I've already done it. Instead of me trying to explain it I'll post the source.

Read this thread

Deal dead/cancelled... lame.

This comes out at the end of Oct.!

So many games coming out all at once, so many games to get...

Wow... some how different from the demo. I'm not feelin it.

Uhh... yeah... it looks like I'm posting over and over but apparently nobody cares about this game.

Anyway, I think I jumped the gun a little. The beginning is a little irritating because you can't use the timeshift feature yet. It gets better as you progress.

The weapons are a bit odd, they don't seem to have the effects they should. For example there's a hand gun type of weapon and it works more like Halo
s (first one) hand gun, with a greater range than a hand gun should. The automatic assault like gun is similar to an M16 with a grenade launcher. There's a semi auto shotty and when used with the timeshift feature seems to be a lot like F.E.A.R. in terms of how devastating it is to the enemy at close range.

Speaking of damage. It seems like all but the hand gun have more effect the closer you are to the enemy in how long it takes for them to die. With that said I think it's a bit on the unrealistic side because of how many hits it takes even if you do headshots (no one shot one kill).

All and all this game seems like it's what Resistance fall of man should of been because the weapons seem very similar as well as the setting or time period look. The only difference being of course the timeshift feature.

I don't know if I'd buy it but I'd say it might be a good rental at least. Mine was free.

I think it's just because the FPS market for the 360 is so saturated, you have to be a a real AAA title to make any waves. I'm sure it's good, but is it worth playing over Halo, COD 4, RB6: Vegas, or Gears?

 

[V1P3R]

It's completely different than any other FPS. The only thing I can think of is Portal when it comes to this game because this isn't just your typical "run and gun"... There is a dynamic way of getting a job done with the timeshift feature. One Ex is you can freeze time, go up to an enemy, take their gun, fill them full of lead, and if not already reactivate time, and watch the outcome. Also between the regenerative shield (like halo) and the timeshift feature it has saved my ass.

Is it worth playing over all those other hyped games? I'd say so even though it didn't get to enjoy the same pre-release hype as the games above.

I played the demo for the PS3 and loved it! I love the fact that you can freeze time and walk up to a bad guy and snatch his weapon lol. I also lke how you can freeze time and shoot those exploding arrows at each soldier thats in a group hiding in a room and watch em all blow up at the same time. Honestly i dont know why there arent threads on this game across other msg boards. this game is defenitly different from other fps. this is the only game/demo beside gt5 prologue that i would go back and play.

Played the demo and thought it was okay. Felt a little too much like a Half-Life 2 knockoff... I'm probably getting the wrong impression, but I still don't have the money to drop for it.
