TimeShift Review

Timeshift is an FPS game based around controlling the flow of time to overthrow a dictator who has created a dystopian alternate timeline. I think anyways. They hope you haven't played Half Life 2.

Timeshift: the most 2007 game

[@Loathsome_Lynx]

Yeah this game perfectly represents where the genre was just before cod 4 came out. I like to call the era between 1998 and 2007 the "Half Life/ Medal of Honor Paradigm" as those were the two most prominent franchises. I find it to be perhaps the most interesting time in fps history, even if many of the games were mediocre if not outright bad. At the very least devs were trying all sorts of new and interesting things, unlike the modern military phase from 2007-2013 where everything became one indistinguishable blob. Edit: I'll also add Halo in as the other big fps franchise, but it kinda stood out as it's own thing with nothing to really match it except maybe Haze and the first Killszone, both of which sucked.

[@alarmedresponse]

For the timespitters thing at the end of the episode, it's timesplitters 2 that's on Homefront the Revolution. It's like halfway into the game on some random arcade machine you have to input a code into to get. Also, the emulator comes with cheats that you have to put a very long button combo in right before the game screen appears, so I have very fond memories of one of my friends spending literal hours trying to input the "unlock multiplayer" code at my house.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Either way, hope Mandy reviews both games, maybe even altogether in one video.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

It's actually not an emulator, but a WIP HD remaster they slapped in there. There's also a mod out there that (along with fixing up various issues with the remaster) strips out as much of Homefront as possible while still leaving TimeSplitters 2 fully intact and bootable, in case you really don't have any interest in Homefront.

[@DrEnzyme]

It's insane to me that it only exists because someone thought to hide it in Homefront. There's so much WIP stuff lost from the industry that it makes me think games companies should release "blooper reel" discs full of abandoned projects so that we at least have some historical record they existed.

Homefront: The Revolution has an arcade cabinet that you can find with Timesplitters 2 on it. Normally it only has two levels on it but one of the devs mentioned the whole game is there. Fortunately there are codes that can unlock everything else in the game like the story, arcade, and challenges. And apparently it can also run in native 4K so it happens to be one of the best ways to play it.

[@fordprefect6151]

Or the dread of getting caught in stop-time orb and seeing like a dozen explosive crossbow bolts materislising in front of your face, realizing you're only a second away from being completely screwed. Also, the flamethrower/SMG hybrid was very nice.

[@kriegerdrako]

Ah finally, I´ve been waiting for the two time travelling games 😎 I love the gameplay so much, you really do feel like a superhero. The vague setting and convoluted design is in this case good enough for me, and the weapons are so fun to balance it all out. Like the last weapon you get looks like a mess and IS a mess. Each shot drains like 1/10th of its magazine, but theres an alternate firemode with which you can fire for a split second, using like 0.5% of its magazine but dealing the same damage/killing an enemy instantly. Oh, and the enemy also has the gun ofc.

[@TRETHEGAMERMAN]

This game, Singularity, and darkest of days all have something that could make a Really fun “time” game where you control time, manipulate other people and object’s’ time, and going into other time periods with weapons from different time periods

Army of Two is such a great co-op game. Plus it tricks fps players into learning broad-strokes rpg mechanics.

[@Gruntvc]

@NinjapowerMS, Resistance Fall of Man and Killzone 2. Shame Sony killed off both franchises.

[@Supercohboy]

@@Gruntvc I don't think Sony killed off Resistance, I think Resistance 3 killed off Resistance. The game looked exotic but played like a typical 7th gen FPS and sold poorly (about 1 million copies globally vs. Resistance 1's 3.9 million). That's enough to kill off a franchise in that era, especially when Sony was in the market for new IPs to sell 8th-gen consoles with after their 7th gen exclusives 'lost' to Microsoft's. Still a shame, given that a million copies was still a lot for 2011, granted. And the Resistance games still sold way better than the Killzones ever did, yet Killzone survived to make an 8th-gen release.

[@marcellosilva9286]

@@Supercohboy Resistance 3 is no way in hell a typical 7th gen FPS, it didn't have regenerating health (you had to collect items to restore it), your weapons could level up and you could carry all of them (as far away from the 2-weapon limit as you could get), and it was very setpiece-driven, closer to Half-Life 2, hell, it even used the 7th gen piss filters in a clever way, where each level had a different colour, instead of all of them being brown. It didn't sell well because the previous game was a complete dumpster fire and PS3 owners were expecting and buying different games than Xbox 360 owners. There was no place for Halo Killers in the PS3 anymore, which is a shame, since R3 is the game that I think came the closest to being one.

[@darthgiorgi4990]

Holy shit, didn't expect a timeshift review at all. Brings back a lot of memories, remember finishing this game so many times Some of the weapons are still imo one of the best gun ideas in any fps. Several notes from someone that played the shit out of it back in the day: 1. The looks/performance ratio is still one of the best ones I have seen. 2. Kinda disagree about future saviour turning the tide not being shown. The first level is you witnessing the resistance getting its shit fully kicked in, and there is one scene where you see rebel pows being escorted by soldiers which is completely reversed in the last level. 3. Crossbow is indeed op. But personally thr gehena incindiary smg and thr ellectric cannon are the ones that left the best impression on me. 4. The game hss the best default grenade I have seen in my 25 years of gaming. It combine standart grenades with the sticky nades from halo while also adding electrocution effect. And not to mention that you can also be stuck but actually have a chance to survive it by reversing time, which is fucking baller mechanics as well. 5. Time stop kicks in the auto regeneration instantly so if you have low HP in combat, the suit moves the choice to time stop and you isntantly kick in the regen. Not much abusable but a good get out of jail free card to have. 6. The way multiplayer did the time powers by making it into time grenades is probably one of the best ideas about how to do the time manipulation in multiplayer games.

Looking forward to the next video covering a game I really liked at the time! Hope it holds up better than Timeshift does (although honestly it does look pretty good on a technical level)

16:18 - jambo87, i was stabbed in the back with such surgical precision it couldn't have been anymore "accidental". i would have walked on fire for you without second thought.

[@user-zn5zr2ed3x]

Im so hyped to watch this video, time shift was one of the games of my childhood, sadly nobody exept for me knew about it, so i couldn't explain the awesomeness of exploding crossbow bolts with delay

[@Shark93]

There's a delay? I've tried some in Multiplayer yesterday but they blow up on impact, no? You can delay the grenade launcher though, to make it bounce on walls first. If you want to play together, there's a dedicated Discord and we might play today or next week

[@user-zn5zr2ed3x]

@@Shark93 in single player they do have delay. And i only played dvd version, so i never experienced multiplayer nor i dont realy know how to

[@TheBigManWithTheBiggerPlan]

Fantastic video as always my pookiest of pookie bears, my dear Mandalore. I found it a bit odd when you went into that 3 minute rant around the middle about why "Drake's meat aint even allat big to me", but apart from that, marvellous!

[@former_pope2451]

I also thought the part near the end where he kept saying "cocky want boing boing" was odd

[@INFILTR8US]

Underrated, atmospheric and action-packed. I replay it every couple of years when I am in the mood for a slowmo shooter that isn't FEAR. The minimalist story keeps it from being a masterpiece. But damn does it have a slick coat of paint. Love that combination SMG flamethrower. Great review!

[@LowTiertoji]

Hey man just wanted to say cool video I'm glad to have arrived early

Best start to a Friday I could hope for! Just selfishly sad it's not an hour long

You might disagree with this, but as someone who legitimately studied it: hotdogs are considered sandwiches in the culinary world; and the toasted biscuits or crackers with cheese and meat, or other toppings is called a canapé, which, you guessed it: is classified as a sandwich.

canape in essence is a sandwich for ants, makes sense.

Oh, we're getting Singularity next! Awesome. That game may not be perfect but is one of my all time favourite shooters. Can't wait for it. Thanks for the great video, as always.

[@catsnake9842]

omg new mandalore video hiii!!!

[@shadowxps]

Of all the mid 2000s shooters to come out this was one of them

[@zacharyhaas9965]

I saw a play through of this game years ago but I could never remember the name, thanks Mandy

[@Dukefazon]

3:54- LOL, that was perfect! :D You should do a review on Singularity. I loved that game and it's not too long.

[@mathewwebb3202]

I played through this game a million times as a kid thank you for bringing this back to my memory madalore I’m definitely going to play through it again

[@Bukluka]

Bro, you just unlocked memories I didnt know i had. This game and singularity, despite their flaws, were cool to me, especially the time mechanics, 00s games loved playing with time. I guess i wont replay them anytime soon lol, but i still had fun. Also i remember almost nothing except the time thing and shooting, which isnt a good sign, so better leave the memories alone.

[@ricardoediza2690]

That intro got me pondering my CPU performance

[@slowlearner46]

I had one of those disks you would get with a gaming magazine that had a multiplayer demo of this game and I played it nonstop. This video unlocked a hidden memory for me.

[@nohbody5654]

I haven't thought of this game in years. Thanks for this little blast from the past.

[@FrankyJayJF]

Haha, Mandalore is teasing Singularity. :D

[@TevyaSmolka]

I remember time shift as a teenager that game was super interesting back in the day in my opinion.

[@Mrkabrat]

6:01 That gagging before saying "Haze" is marvelous

[@srgfkct3544]

Lets goo! I remember playing this game a looong time ago, but when I tried to launch it again a year or so ago, just couldnt even get to the loading screen.

[@Jimbo55151]

Props for referencing the BEST arc of the justice league cartoon

[@michaelandreipalon359]

If anyone curious asks, it's at 8:12, and it's the Justice League Season 1 three-part finale "The Savage Time". And I must say, it's so good, one may suspect Captain America: The First Avenger and Wolfenstein: The New Order+The Old Blood borrowed from it.

When I thought the start of my day couldn't get any better, Mandalore uploads a video on a janky video game I have never heard of. God Speed, you beautiful bastard.

[@SoCoMss]

Omg i love that you made a video about this game. It sometimes feels like the game never existed, nobody played it 😢

[@BRAMCRACK3R]

My strongest memory of this game was playing the multiplayer demo on my 360 all the time, which was honestly really fun. The way they convert the time control gimmick into these time bubble grenades was cool.
