First Singularity details materialise News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Time-bending shooter from Raven.

Activision has released the first details of sci-fi shooter Singularity.

The PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game will be set on a mysterious island occupied by Russians during the Cold War, according to the February Game Informer teaser. And it's here that a US pilot uncovers the terrible secrets behind the element E99 tests of the 1950s.

We've no idea what they are, but the central theme involves using time as an aid and a weapon. Apparently enemies can be rapidly aged and decomposed on the spot.

Raven Software of Quake 4 and Wolfenstein credit will be creating Singularity, and use the Unreal Engine 3 to save some time.

Activision unveiled the shooter back at E3 with a trailer but offered little else.

More soon, we hope.

hmm trailer (which I hadn't looked at before) and premise make me think of a Russian version of the Philadelphia Experiment:

Must say I find it very hard to get excited by a FPS not made by Valve or Bungie and to a lesser extent Infinity Ward.

Kind of looks like it is trying to emulate Bioshock.

Here comes another FPS! Same as the old FPS.

Seriously, I'm going back to play Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle until these people can think of an original concept.

With Raven involved it should at least be competent and hopefully not another Timeshift.

Mirror's Edge and Mass Effect don't have that look. Depends on the developer.

No doubt this will get slagged off for 'ripping off' EG's favourite whinging developer Mr J. Blow and Braid? Mr Blow will give his comments live from his Uncle Scrooge-style Money Bin, filled with all the money that evil Microsoft forced him into accepting.
