Three days until the release of TimeShift (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), don't you wish you can make time go faster right now? But since you don't have a suit that can do that, you'll just have to wait until the game comes out just like everyone else. 'Til then, here are three new videos for TimeShift, chronicling the development of the game and its story.

The first video of the "TimeShift Chronicles" brings us into the very beginnings of the game and how it all started. The second installment shows how the team fared when they traveled to Russia when they needed to know more about the country for the game. The third video of the TimeShift Chronicles tells the story of the game and the multiplayer features it sports.

Check out the full article for all three videos.

We played the demo and we loved it; just imagine our excitement now that Sierra Entertainment announced TimeShift has gone gold and is ready for shipment. October 30 marks the highly anticipated release of the title developed by Saber Interactive to the Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC, while the Sony PlayStation 3 version is expected to appear on shelves this December.

Apart from futuristic weapons, legions of enemy soldiers, and next-gen graphics that are present in most first-person shooters of late, TimeShift gives players the ability to control time. Your usual Hollywood-esque run-and-gun experience will be littered with puzzles that can be solved by slowing, stopping, or even reversing time.

In battle, making things go slow proves to be a lot more effective than going bullet time since you still maintain normal speed while everything lags behind. When you freeze enemies on their tracks, it's also possible to steal their weapons and knock them out before they know what hit them. We can't even begin to enumerate the many ways to exploit time reversal, but it sure is cool to see things unwind while you're unaffected.

For those of us itching to exercise our trigger fingers in some fine FPS action, then this update should get you working up a sweat in no time: the PC demos of Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) and TimeShift (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) have recently been made available for your downloading pleasure. That's not one, not two, but three games you'll be sinking your teeth into before their full games get released. Awesome!

A little bit of a refresher on all three games: Unreal Tournament 3 is from Epic Games and features the most graphically-detailed FPS action we've seen. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare puts you in the middle of a modern war with unique abilities and perks to get you that edge over the tangoes.

And finally, TimeShift gives you the neat ability to manipulate time for some unprecedented FPS fun. When was the last time you took your opponent's weapon by ripping his arms off with it?

Certainly a great day for the videogaming community indeed. Check out the read link to find out how to download these gems!

Here's the latest advertisement video for Sierra Entertainment's TimeShift. The title will be released this coming October 30 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC platforms. Owners of Microsoft's console is currently enjoying a brief advantage over the other builds as a demo was recently available over at Xbox Live.

Anyway, TimeShift is not your typical FPS as the developers added another dimension to the game. Like its name suggests, players has the option to manipulate the time by slowing it down, stopping, or even rewinding it to go back to the past and correct past mistakes. If used wisely, this power will really work to your advantage.

This particular video clip features a robbery in a convenience store. Watch carefully how the time-bending elements in TimeShift were used in this commercial. It will be useful to you when you finally get your hands on the game, though we wish we could use it in the real world as well. Enjoy!

Sierra Entertainment has announced a release date for their multiplatform title TimeShift (PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). The game was first announced during last year's E3 and was given a 2007 release date last September.

The PC and Xbox 360 versions of TimeShift will be in retail stores starting October 30. The PlayStation 3 version, which was confirmed only a few months ago, will be released in December. Sierra has not yet set a specific release date for the PS3 version of TimeShift.

Those who want to get their copies the day TimeShift hits can also start pre-ordering this week at select retailers across the U.S. Who these "select retailers" are was not revealed, however. According to the Sierra press release, those who pre-order will also be getting an exclusive playable character for the game's multiplayer mode.

About a few months ago, Saber Interactive is a video game developer based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They focus on first person shooter games. It released the game Will Rock in 2003, and is currently developing another game called TimeShift.">Saber Interactive's TimeShift for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC got pulled into the proverbial wormhole for some major design revamps. Aside from several tweaks to the game's mechanics and graphics, the team was also going to integrate the Havok 4.5 physics engine, which was hoped to bring out even more of the game's potential.

Now, in case you're wondering how the title's looking in light of its overhaul (and previous trailers), we've pick up a new gameplay trailer for your viewing pleasure - and it's just in time for E3 2007.

Currently published by Sierra Entertainment, TimeShift is expected to launch this Fall. Keep an eye out in case we hear more details.

Saber Interactive is a video game developer based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They focus on first person shooter games. It released the game Will Rock in 2003, and is currently developing another game called TimeShift.">Saber Interactive, the guys behind the Sierra's chrono shooter for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, was given an entire year to patch up a game that was reportedly plagued with "seven bugs." But following a year's delay, TimeShift underwent a complete overhaul.

 

In an interview with IGN, it has been revealed that the game's visual appeal took an "up close and personal" feel, sporting immense detail and darker theme than before. But that's not all. The game also endured the trashing of four entire levels, overall character redesigns, tweaking to time control mechanics and gameplay, integration of the Havok 4.5 physics engine and a painful revamp of the entire graphics engine.

But why go through all that trouble? That's because Saber considered TimeShift's old iteration as uncompetitive in a "post-Unreal Engine 3" world. Also Saber's Kyle Peschel explained that gamers didn't quite get the "Steam Punk" bit, and believes that they've done well with the new face of TimeShift.

A few of the maps have even been made larger. Physics have been improved that an enemy's gibs won't just fly over the place, they'll flip-flop and dance around until they land. New scripting made enemies more lifelike in their mannerisms, while Saber Interactive hopes to deliver the title balanced in performance and features over all platforms.

A new trailer for Saber Interactive's time-traveling first person shooter, TimeShift, is now available on the game's official site. While we'd like to try some fancy source code sifting to attempt to embed the flash player on the site onto this blog post for your enjoyment, we won't. Some guy named William of Ockham did say that the simplest solution tends to be best, so here's a YouTube video for your ocular observation:

This game was originally set to be published by Atari, but is now going to be published by Vivendi. After multiple delays, the game is now scheduled for a Fall 2007 release in both North American and European territories.

TimeShift is expected for both the PC and the Xbox 360.

Apart from yesterday's rumor of it coming to the Sony PS3, it has been a pretty slow news year so far for TimeShift. Things look to be picking up, though, because we managed to get some new screenshots for the game courtesy of Jeux France. You can check 'em out above and below.

In case the lack of updates has caused you to forget about this game (which is a shame, as it's looking pretty good), here's a little refresher. TimeShift is an FPS title for both the Xbox 360 and PC platforms developed by Saber Interactive and published by Vivendi Games.

Perhaps the coolest thing about TimeShift is the main character's ability to manipulate time. Players can slow down, stop, and rewind the whole world around them and they can move about freely while their enemies and other game objects lie frozen in time. TimeShift also throws some puzzle-solving action into the mix, featuring several complex time control puzzles as part of the gameplay.

A specific U.S. release date for TimeShift has yet to be announced. European gamers can expect this game to drop before the year ends.
