Timeshift - Hands On

Published by

We've seen time manipulation in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, but its implementation was fairly weak. However, a new game under development called TimeShift looks set to introduce a new angle of gameplay into the done-to-death FPS genre. Hexus.net has a first look at TimeShift, in which you can manipulate time to achieve various goals. Within your time bubble, time remains unaffected, so if you get hit by a bullet, you can't reverse things and forget all about it. The gameplay revolves around the different ways in which the player can manipulate time, rather than being a 'cool feature' that's been tacked onto the game. Will this be one of next years' big hits, or will it be a game that time forgets?
