enough of these scary games man, let’s get original. Use this graphical technology for beautiful and relaxing stuff. Who the hell wants to get scared after a whole day at work? What the hell’s the matter with you people? U don’t have enough stress in the office?

damn folks, you guys are demanding, and forgetful

Raven made Elite Force back in the day, but far more importantly, they made Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, it’ sequel being fairly awful in comparison, but with adequate multiplayer. Sure, Wolfenstein wasn’t very original, but it’s frickin Wolfenstein, I mean, who expected Wolfenstein to have a good story or original elements, it’s been a cheesy rip off of Indiana Jones combined with James Bond combined with doom since…. well, it’s conception.

While the time manipulation doesn’t look amazingly original, it seems interesting, and while I see many comments about how it sucks, I don’t see many ideas except to copy BRAID, and if they did that, wouldn’t we all complain that they ripped off BRAID? I like the concepts thus far, we’ll just have to hope it goes well from here

In all fairness, this is the first time you get said ability to grab items from the past. Also, this seem to be quite early in the game, so they’re not going to throw any mind benders at this point in the game anyway. Hopefully there will be those situations where you can try multiple solutions or have real puzzles, but we’ll see :)

One thing I liked was it seemed to care about the story telling at least, even if it doesn’t end up being the most elaborate story, often times the way you tell a story makes the biggest difference.

I’m not entirely sure where people got the idea that this was going to be a cerebral time-travel puzzle adventure. Every trailer up to now has basically been ‘There will be lots of shooting and a bit of time-bending’. And, as others have said, it’s an FPS by Raven.

This is one of those bizarre situations where people have hyped themselves up for an imaginary game that never would have existed anyway, and are dissapointed when reality doesn’t live up to fantasy.

jon_hill987: I doubt we’ll ever see this in our lifetimes.

This seems interesting. I may watch the other walkthrough parts.

I was hoping that more of the game would be this sort of slow-burning more cerebral stuff, but given that its Raven and ‘TEH SHOOTY’ always seems to be the way to go with them these days, its not really worth holding out for…

That said, even if it was great, Actizzard will likely price it at £39.99 following the inevitable success of their MW2 ‘experiment’, meaning unless I can get hold of a review copy, I won’t be playing it regardless.

Starting to get more interested in this title… for now I’m still calling this a TimeShift ‘spiritual successor’. ;)

I am still looking forward to this, more so after this video.
Dare I say I actually enjoy Raven games? They are admittedly simple but hugely enjoyable.

A thumbs up from me so far.

It’s probably difficult, but it’d be so much more fascinating if the time manipulation aspect weren’t just a gimmick.. not a tool to use instead of whatever one would use in another shooter. The time aspects beyond the player’s control seem more interesting, but what I’ve seen so far looks okay, but nothing as special as what one could hope time manipulation to be.
