VU confirms TimeShift snatch News

PC Xbox Xbox 360
News by Tom Bramwell

7 May, 2006

Vivendi's confirmed reports that it's picked up the rights to publish Saber Interactive's time-bending first-person shooter TimeShift.

Previously being handled by Atari, TimeShift is now due out from another French lot, and in the process it's dropped a format - instead of Xbox, Xbox 360 and PC it's now due out on just Xbox 360 and PC. It's also being tipped for release simply during 2006, rather than within the next couple of months.

TimeShift pts players in the role of retired test pilot Michael Swift, who's testing a time-control device for the government only to discover it changes reality in lots of awkward ways that he has to blast, pause and rewind his way to righting.

TimeShift should make an appearance at E3 - and there's a PC demo available already, with the game's new website now live at timeshift.sierra.com.

Yeah, the demo was awful.

By the way, there's a spelling mistake: third paragraph - "pts"

Looks like the Xbox is officially dead.

Even though it was dead last year after Half Life 2 released.

That's what I thought. I'd heard the Xbox version was cancelled months ago...

Poor old Xbox - still quite a lot of titles in the can though!

Steroyd - There are still many games coming to the original Xbox - Warpath looks like a good one and it's coming out at a budget price.

Considering M$ are losing money so far on 360's you'd think they'd try to get as much support for the Xbox so they make money from there. Doesn't sound very good for XBOX tbh. At least sony are still strongly supporting the PS2. ;)
