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:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphi... and more so the film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087910/ |

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.

"and use the Unreal Engine 3 to save some time"
This statement has urinated liberally over the embers of any interest I may have had. Acrid steam ensues. |

"Seriously, I'm going back to play Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle until these people can think of an original concept."
I'd probably sacrifice a digit to have DotT in HD on XBLA. Well, I'd buy it at the very least.. |

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

Agreed, a HD update of Grim Fandango would also be a beautiful addition. I'm getting quite tired of the Unreal 3 engine and the way it looks. I wish people would support some other engines a bit more, its technically very good sure, but I just don't really like the way it looks. Maybe that's just me? |

Forgot about Mass Effect and never even knew about Mirrors Edge using the Unreal Engine. A perfect example of my lack of knowledge in regard to engine use, I really should try not to push my nose in to area's where the detail I know is slim to none. Mind you then I'd never get to argue about anything at all eh? |

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.
