TimeShift screenshots and trailer (PC/360)

[Everlost_MI]

Worthplaying (http://www.worthplaying.com/) has posted new screenshots and a trailer (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=29856&mode=thread&order=0article.php?sid=29856&mode=thread&order=0) for the the upcoming title shooter, TimeShift.

I am a bit confused, Ebgames is listing the title for the PC and Xbox. Did this title get bumped to the 360 as well or instead of the Xbox?

[JazGalaxy]

360 first. Xbox version many months later, so says Game Informer.

[RainOfTerror]

sorry for the mixup, it's like JazGalaxy said, X360 and PC first (March 2006) and Xbox isnt due until summer 2006.

[Suicidal ShiZuru]

Still looks lame.

[The_Darr]

for some reason ever since the first screens/movies i just think the graphics are HORRIBLE. there are some interesting ideas, but the graphics...ugh...

[Dabombpizza]

But it's a shooter! That manipulates time! It's like Blinx with a rocket launcher. That's never been done before, has it?

[JazGalaxy]

The project lead, in game informer, kept talking about the game by saying that you could blow people up and freeze time while walking through their chunks. he said it like three times. Is that a selling point now?

It's funny. I picked up up gaming magazine from the UK the other day called EDGE, and I was seriously blown away by how mature it was. From the digitless reviews to the utter civility and discourse in the letters page. It was amazing. And, more amazing, was that they really seemed to take the opinion that Americans have no idea what makes a good game and a bad game. There's a letter from a developer where he basically just expresses pure bafflement as to why the PSP is outselling the DS in America when the DS has no games to speak of, and the DS is trouncing the PSP in Japan. (the developer is japanese.) He also seems to chalk it up to the fact that Americans are just way more concerned about image than they are quality.

in this case, he was right on the money with THIS "american". it can be one of the better games out there, but still if i would be playing it id mutter "yuck" under my breath the whole way through.

I quite like Edge. If I could get a subscription for less than $80 or $90 I would. It doesn't help that Barnes & Noble is quite a bit out of my way.

Why do you suppose all American Magazines are so obnoxiously immature? It's funny how they try to ACT like they're more mature than others, but all their captions are still about charachter x "eating a bad burrito" or something, and talk about sex nonstop. They could talk about sex in a mario game. And of, like, the ten Perfect Dark Zero write ups I've written, not one has not at some point talked about "the lovely... beatiful... sexy... sultry..." blah blah blah Joanna Dark. I mean... come on. It's a videogame character.

You might like Play. It has it's weaknesses (reviews vary highly based on reviewer, sometimes too opinionated, too many Japanophiles) but it's at least written for adults.

[KamaItachi]

I really liked Edge, shame I can't get it cheaper than a small fortune these days. They sometimes border on pretention with some of their articles, but their reviews are usually spot on.

How much is it in Japan? The price in the US is bad enough.

[KamaItachi]

It's been a while since I bought an issue, and that was from a special import shop. I think it was between 1 and 1,500 yen, which would be about $10-15US (?) Although that's still cheaper than getting one of those international one year subscriptions.


ETA Christ, my mathmatical abilities suck...

[JazGalaxy]

The issue of EDGE I got was 8 bucks... almost the same as the overpriced local magazines like EGM and I spent about twice as long between it's pages.

I agree that some of the writing in EDGE could border on pretentious.

[mister_slim]

I for one prefer occasional spots of pretension to EGM's anti-intellectualism.
