Looks wicked cool, expect this to be akin to Half Life & Portal on having lots of interesting puzzling moments.

How come you seem to be invulnerable inside the bubble yet enemies are easier to kill when encased by it...?

A lot of the stuff released about Singularity seems really cool but I just keep getting the feeling that it will suck horribly. Prove me wrong, Raven!

I still have high hopes for this game, but I can't help but smirk immaturely whenever I see it's title. Thanks, SMBC:  http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20100225.gif

Yep. I got Timeshift again on my gamefly this week.  This whole trailer looks like mechanics from that game.

For some reason I get the feeling that this game will either be horribly clunky or mad linear/easy and you will only want to play through it once.

Time Shift, what an underrated game. Was generic as hell, but every time I see a promo for this I think of it. It was fun enough, and surprisingly fun, in a mindless sort of way.  Although it didn't allow for "real time" deformation of objects in the form of repair and destruction of environmental puzzle elements. And I am pulling for Raven, the last decent game I played from them was something in the Hexen vein.

Cool thing I can see this letting you do: you do it on a bunch of enemy's, shoot into the bubble where the bullets are stopped, the bubble goes away and "PEWPEWPEW"

Wait wait wait.. if it slows down bullets, how come your bullets aren't slown down and rendered "useless"? Some sort of hyper-time bullets? :P

What it looks like to me is the player drops a time bubble, shoots a bunch of bullets at enemies in the bubble, and then unfreezes time so they hit the enemies all at once.

Bio-shockingly average ...
 
Haven't we evolved beyond this by now? I know that developers can't compete on MP against the big boys but this looks like a bang-bang shooter (with half-hearted twist). It says a lot when even the USP looks generic and tired.

Reminds me of Ratchet and Clank, in a bad way. Rip off. I haven't seen Time Shift though. This game is going to stink.

A lot of the concepts they show off for this game are really interesting. If Raven actually manages to make all of it into a fun, cohesive, package, then it could turn out to be a pretty good game.

Shouldn't the bubble slow you down?  It would make more sense to make a bubble and shoot at it from the outside, cause then when time resumed the bullets would already be just feet away from the enemy.

How would bullets and the player be able to move through this time bubble, when enemies are frozen?

If they have the time-altering ninjas that timeshift had, then the enemies might have a chance. But then again, if they have the time-altering ninjas that timeshift had, then we can officially call it timeshift 2 (or timeshift 1.5 if it really sucks).

I hope this game is good, because Raven made one of my favourite games of all time (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance) and I support them wholeheartedly. At the moment, it looks fairly 'meh'.

I do have to say, I'm not really excited for this game, but being able to actually see the bullets in this game is kind of awesome.

@Gizmo: I actually liked Timeshift. While the game it self was flawed, they pulled of the time mechanics great, giving you not only powers in battle but also good challenges. I even think TimeShift pulled of the concept of extra power better than BioShock did, allthough the latter was the better game in all other aspects.
