Hexus.net grabbed some time with TimeShift recently, which is very close to release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Not only is the game sooo close to being done, it now sports Havok 4.5 physics which has opened up loads of intuitive gameplay options. Couple that in with the TimeShift ability and you've got a world with which you can interact in a myriad of different ways.
For example, a pipe is balanced in the middle by a chain and would give you access to the level above if you could weight it down at one end… but there are no weights to be had. What you can do is stand on one end to make the other end rise, then run down to the other end. Now rewind time but stay where you are and the pipe will rise, as, back in time, it was pointing up in the air.
TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

I love the Havok engine. F.E.A.R. is one of my favorite games and sprot an earlier version of this engine. For single player its great but this engine really shines on the multiplayer, *Nailed to the Wall*
SWEET!!!!
Havok 4.5? whoa that's super new. I thought they were last on 3.0, well anyways timeshift looks to be pretty good since they re-did everything
