Game News - TimeShift Also Shifts To PlayStation 3 // UPDATE

   The long-since cancelled Xbox version of TimeShift will be replaced by another one, after all. Previously announced as a Xbox 360 console-exclusive (and also heading for the PC), Sabre Interactive's chronologically challenged shooter has eventually been confirmed for the PS3 as well, during Sony's "Gamer's Week" event in San Diego, California. All three versions are scheduled for release in autumn 2007 by Vivendi's Sierra Entertainment division.
"Sierra Entertainment and Sabre Interactive are changing the way gamers play FPS games by giving them the ultimate weapon - Time", said Al Simone, SVP of Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment. "TimeShift will compete with the best shooter games of the year on any platform and will offer PlayStation 3 gamers a visceral new experience unlike any they have ever seen or played before."    The PlayStation 3 version of TimeShift promises to give players a robust multiplayer experience, featuring online shootouts for up to 16 players, across seven game modes. In addition, players will be able to customise their own game mode using over 60 options, and choosing from 14 multiplayer maps.

   In case you've been living in some temporal hole until now, TimeShift is a first-person shooter game that immerses the player in a deep storyline, whose main character is equipped with a unique quantum suit that can slow, stop and even reverse the flow of time. The game has been in development for quite a few years by now, having been abandoned by its former publisher Atari last year. And while we haven't seen any gameplay trailers lately, this recent TimeShift cinematic movie should give you a rough idea about the game's feel.

UPDATE: Timeshift Made Kotaku's Brian Crecente Shift His Pants.
