TimeShift Being Published by Vivendi Games

Saber Interactive's shooter is finally snatched up.

Its developers call it a "Time Control First-Person Shooter," probably because TimeShift takes bullet time to a whole new level. You'll stop time, slow it down, or completely reverse it -- time slides off you; you play with it. Well, now this TCFPS finally has a publisher in the form of Vivendi Games.

TimeShift runs on a proprietary engine from Saber Interactive dubbed "Saber 3D" and puts you in the role of a retired test pilot named Michael Swift. Get it? He's swift. So Colonel Swift becomes a "chrononaut" and tests time-control devices for the US. During a test something goes wrong and the present world gets changed into a "fascist nightmare." Now it's up to Swift to use his chrononaut powers and set things right. TimeShift is slated to come out for both the Xbox 360 and the PC in 2006.
