It's now over 12 months since we all downloaded a demo of 'Timeshift' a mixed up FPS where you had the ability to rewind and fast forward time at will. Just as the game was nearing completion the whole project collapsed and was sold to publisher Vivendi who have now re-built the game from the ground up. Whether 12 months of extra development time will make much difference is still unclear but what we do know is we've obtained five new screenshots of the game for your perusal which seem to show it just might have been worth the wait after all.
The in-game character models have been increased supposedly from 2,500 polygons to 5 million polygons, and the bright colourful world of the original game's build has now been replaced with a dark, gritty environment that is becoming almost the norm in modern FPS games. The gameplay is also being tweaked, and players will no longer have the ability to choose which time related ability they use. Now the AI will decide whether you need to stop, slow or rewind time for you. This change has stemmed from playtests of the game where many players simply relied solely on the time stopping ability, and neglected the other two controls, and then couldn’t work out how to get past obstacles that required the use of these other timeshifting powers.
