so why has activision done such a bad job at letting people know about the game? a lot of people haven't even heard about it and considering it came out today here, for the review embargo to end this morning sends a very sketchy message to gamers.
this is a game that deserves some press, a trailer now and again is nowhere near what this game should be getting and hopefully as we near the obviously more important us release we will see more push from the publisher.
Singularity
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Jun 29, 2010
Singularity is Raven Software's alternate history shooter, where the player is given the ability of time manipulation.
this game is fantastic..
" the game would be better if they allowed us to turn enemy soldiers into babies with the device and then step on the babies heads. "Or revert them into piles of spunk on the floor?
This game is truly fantastic. It is quite special. I... just wow. It looks like bioshock. graphically.
3 bad points, Sound effects aren't to special and people don't look at you when they talk and some rare textures are hell of blurry rarely.
That's it, those are my only issues.
The game runs like a dream on my PC. And I can't wait to complete the story so I can get into the multi-player.
First 15 minutes of the games...spoilers for the first 15 minutes, which is a total shocker, I know.
That first 15 minutes got me interested but how is the framerate on 360, Raven has a horrible track record with unpolished games on console...
Reasons why i probably won't buy this (until it's dirt cheap)...
Multiplayer achievements
Activision
Pre-order bonuses
And potential dlc.
That's the one yeah. It reminds me of Cryostasis alot. Except it's not broken. And it's fully awesome." looks interesting, kinda a mix between Bioshock, Cryostasis(flash back sequences) from what i saw in that video. With nolan north as your sidekick :D "
I fucking love time travel and time powers. Such a groovy concept. I heard the game is only like 5 hours (on hard!). Doesn't seem worth 60 bucks. Not all that interested in MP either.
" the game would be better if they allowed us to turn enemy soldiers into babies with the device and then step on the babies heads. "Or stuff said babies in a microwave oven
Raven software then Activision. Buy it for Raven Software." If it's any good I might pick it up second hand, because it's Activision. "
Can't wait for the GiantBomb review. I think it will be as surprising as Batman: Arkham Asylum was.
This game has had a weird history. Last year it made the cover of Game Informer but then got delayed out of the holiday season and was all but forgotten. One of the pre-order bonuses, at least at Gamestop, is a free copy of Prototype. In my experience whenever nobody talks about a game before it's released and they give away something substantial with it then the game is probably pretty terrible. I would be pleasantly shocked if it turned out to be good in any way.
I don't think I've heard of this game until now, but after watching this video I'm really interested. Might be a purchase if the reviews hold up.
" They havent marketed it because it doesnt start with the word, call / guitar / world. "Sad but probably true. Anything that isn't one of their "annualized" cash cows Activision Blizzard just seems to put out there and let it do whatever.
" @Mr_Skeleton said:Well lets make this a word of mouth selling extravaganza!" They havent marketed it because it doesnt start with the word, call / guitar / world. "Sad but probably true. Anything that isn't one of their "annualized" cash cows Activision Blizzard just seems to put out there and let it do whatever. "
Then Activision won't back down next time.

The Raven team are great and I wish them the best of luck but I stoped buying Activision games a while ago.
