Timeshift Gets a True Next-Gen Makeover

Yous remember Timeshift? It was originally slated to show up on the original Xbox a couple years ago, then the dev/pub decided to make the jump to Xbox 360. Unfortunately, in it's previous state, the game certainly did not look like a next-gen effort. So thank goodness the devs went back to the drawing board and came up with something a bit more fitting. The photos above say it all.

By way of comparison, here is a pic of how Timeshift originally looked after it was ported to Xbox 360.



Not bad looking, but decidedly last-gen and certainly not in the same league as Gears of War, Mass Effect or Alan Wake. The original rev of Timeshift on 360 was definitely little more than a hi-def version of a Xbox game. Of course that is one of the really nice things about the original Xbox, even by today's standards, the graphics when the machine was pushed (Panzer Dragoon Orta, Riddick, Doom 3, Chaos Theory), still hold up very well and are easy on the eyes.

Anyway, the new and improved version of Timeshift is due out this year. It may be a few years late, but when the upgrade is this significant, it looks like it may indeed have been worth waiting for.

Looks like the love child of FEAR and PDZ graphicly.

Yep. Dyack could learn something from these guys. Make the best out of a bad situation. Don't squeeze yourself into a shell and only show your closest friends who would never insult your work no matter how crappy it looks your updated work.

But that is exactly what Saber Interactive did once they realized they were going to have to update the game. Closed ranks and improved the game quietly and only showed it off internally until it was ready to be shown publicly, less than six months away from the game's release date.

If you ask me, it looks like Dyack did learn a lot from these guys.

Seriously, I played the full version of this last year, a couple of times even and it looked absolutely horrendous. You were only seeing screenies I was seeing the beast with the lights on!

BIG difference now though. The Timeshift mechanic was interesting in parts, be nice to see what they've done here.

Wonder if Denis Quaid and Michael Ironside are still in it and if they've redone their avatars....

There were as many complaints about the gameplay, if I remember correctly, especially the use of time manipulation.
I wonder if the upgrade had any affect on that aspect of the game.

It definitely looks better though.

It was good in parts but ill thought through in others.

It was also stupidly hard in parts, the demo was a pretty good reflection of what the game was actually like at that stage.

I'd be surprised if Vivendi hadn't gone the whole hog with the revamp having delayed it this long.

I had the demo since it got released on a magazine, and damn it was boring.
The weapons was so clunky design and weird that I had no feeling if it was a weapon =S.

The graphics on the game...well obviously it has improved and all...I like the textures on the stones when it is raining, really PDZ-ish.

But as for the game, I am avoiding it.

Complete makeover; from pdz style to fear/gears style. Instead of a dud this could become a hot seller; we shall see.

I think every should know by now that in this new generation, early screens (for most games) never represent graphically anything near its final visuals :)

And I saw the updated Too Human a week ago. So what is your point?



Look dude, if you want to start a Too Human/Dennis Dyack hate thread, then do it on your own time - go start your own thread. Just don't sully this thread with your negativitiy and cynicism. I came here to post some positive news about a game that many of us thought was a no-show. And that is how I would like to keep things. If you want to complain about Dyack, you are always free to start an entire thread doing just that - but please don't bring that monkey here.

Thanks.

nice, but I have a really hard time reading the article after the following stupid comment:
The polygon count on the characters has been bumped up quite a bit as well, rocketing up from 2500 all the way to 5,000,000 polys.
