it looks cool and all ,but it is the ultimate cheat . it takes no skill to kill the enemy . shoot a buble and kill them ! shoot a buble and you are invinceble . does seem to take the fun out of the game . 
on the other hand it looks cool enough for me to want to try it out. so i'm hoping for a demo on short notice.

@Jonny7892: A little consistency is all I ask.  At least make it so when you go in the bubble everything outside is at hyper speed...

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.

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'.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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.

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.
