Man, seeing this game again makes me want to play it so bad that I am going to. My next suggestion for quirkily mediocre mid-2000s shooter is the Wanted movie-tie-in game; Wanted: Weapons of Fate.
holy cow i played and finished this game multiple times when i was a wee lad. I somewhat really liked this game back then. Not sure if i have the same feeling if i played it now but it does bring a smile on my face when i saw this one popping up from my notification.
This game's development is something. Atari was originally publishing it and it had some big name actors like Dennis Quaid and Michael Ironside. The story seemed more serious in the 2005 version of the game. At some point things changed and they rewrote the story for some reason when Vivendi acquired it. It's still possible to find an older demo of the game with the original story and some of the missions as well.
Have you ever heard of a game called Fracture? It was another one of those incredibly mediocre PS3 generation third person shooters with “crazy gaming technology” where you could adapt the terrain to your advantage. And yet somehow Red Faction did it much better years beforehand.
I'll be honest, I thought all of the cement themed jokes were done and the "concrete answer" joke caught me off guard. But it's really cemented in my mind now
oh my god he actually did it! He played Timeshift! Fuckin love timeshift, the guns and setting are cool as fuck. My favorite weapon hands down was the Hellfire: Incendiary machine pistol with an under barrel flamethrower.
I actually loved this game when it came out and got every non multiplayer achievement on the 360. I think THQ owns the rights now so maybe we can get a sequel.
Good to see this game get some attention! I remember getting the Demo Disc in an Xbox Magazine at the grocery store as a child and being really intrigued by it, this was back before I was on the internet as a kid so I had only magazines and word of mouth / G4 TV
I remember I really wanted modern warfare 2 when it came out, but it was too expensive so my parents bought me this used. I really enjoyed this game. This brought back a lot of memories.
TimeShift was a game I owned, loved, but could never run properly. All I remember of it is how bullet time would make me run at 5 frames a second, so it was like EXTRA slow-mo bullet time
Thanks for the little nostalgia trip. This game was definitely of its time, and had some pretty fun mechanics. I loved these types of game on my Xbox 360, which is still my favourite console.
Your singularity video reminded me of time shift and threw me into a rabid hole of watching videos about it. Now you upload one yourself Absolut mad lad
I remember playing a demo for the first build of this game and it was meh, so they delayed the game another 18 months and basically remade the game. Would have been interesting to see more of the original build.
I used to remember reading about this in Hyper, an Australian game magazine. It had been in their "Previews" section for ages. I was too young for the controversy about Duke Nukem and Prey so this was my first exposure to "development hell". If I'm remembering correctly they completely shifted the aesthetic half way through development after a LOT had been previewed and demonstrated (to pretty negative reception if I must say). Like I'm pretty sure the main character used to look like Nathan Drake or some other square jawed dude. I never got around to playing it so thanks for playing it so I don't have to.
I JUST REALIZED. It bothered me the first time I saw this video, that the second guy who didn't fire on Oboe looked familiar. His facial model is RIDICULOUSLY similar to the one used for the Captain Norton in Deadspace 3.
Damn, you also mentioned Haze, i really miss all these weird ass fps each based on some kind of different mechanic. They were all so mediocre but so much fun.
I still play this game occasionally.....it's one of the only combat games that let's you rewind time along with freezing it and slowing it down.....plus I use a cheat engine to have unlimited time powers so I can really mess around......I would kill for a vr game like this just to mess around with rewinding and freezing time in vr
I'm proud to say I had the chance to play the multiplayer side of this game on xbox and I actually liked it. This was one of the first games I ever owned
Hey! Developer here! We put lots of cement mixers in the game to help lay the foundations to a sequel.
So do you just prowl youtube occasionally looking for videos on games you worked on or are you just coincidentally subbed to Oboe
WHERE IS IT???? GIVE ME THE SEQUEL
@@Syouran1 He’s not a dev, he was just making another cement mixer joke..
badum tss
@@Syouran1 r/woosh
"One of the game ever made" couldn't have said it better myself
It sure is
Wanna play this game too
I saw that as well. Did a double take. It was definitely a game that was made. He is right.
I feel the joke is way overused recently.
Bc you're not creative
I remember playing the demo for this alot as a kid. Never got around to playing the full game but geez did this wake up a memory in me
same
Its actually pretty good and worth a play through
I remember that time were some demos were pretty fun and even had multiplayers
I think I still have that OXM demo disc lol
Yes I had a demo disc from a magazine that had this on it. Played it tons of times
Man, seeing this game again makes me want to play it so bad that I am going to. My next suggestion for quirkily mediocre mid-2000s shooter is the Wanted movie-tie-in game; Wanted: Weapons of Fate.
B-But that's a good game...
@@PresidentFunnyValentine I was just going to say I actually really liked that game
The Bourne Conspiracy
Ps3 game
John Woo's Stranglehold is a good one on 360
Short game but that curve mechanic was cool
I genuinly loved this game a long time ago. Stopping time and blasting a dude with a shotgun never got old. The explosive crossbow too.
@yes fucking bot under my own comment.
holy cow i played and finished this game multiple times when i was a wee lad. I somewhat really liked this game back then. Not sure if i have the same feeling if i played it now but it does bring a smile on my face when i saw this one popping up from my notification.
same
I still absolutely love this game. It’s Half Life with time control and it’s fucking rad.
It also has the same particle effects that were used in F.E.A.R so gunfights indoors can get hectic
Singularity?
Aw yeah, this game was my jam. Time powers were so mindblowing for lil me. Shame it never got a sequel.
Thank you for the video!

Yo I loved fracture! I remember there were a couple missions you could just completely break if you got creative with the terrain manipulation lmao
This game is not incredibly mediocre
I'll be honest, I thought all of the cement themed jokes were done and the "concrete answer" joke caught me off guard. But it's really cemented in my mind now
One of the games EVER MADE
Lighting and particle effects (especially the rain) are still amazing to look at, nearly 15 years after release.
Yet another 360 era shooter everyone forgot about. Which also happens to be my favorite genre
"We probably won't get a concrete answer."
Perfection. *Chef's kiss*
“I get this confused with Haze and Singularity. “
Honestly my head cannon is these games are all in the same universe
Singularity man is Krone's father, Haze's Protagonist is the anonymous TimeShift Protagonist's descendant
Except Singularity and Timeshift are Actually good games unlike Haze
You have a cannon on your head? That's pretty OP
@@slynt_ Hell yeah I do. BOOM!
oh my god he actually did it! He played Timeshift! Fuckin love timeshift, the guns and setting are cool as fuck. My favorite weapon hands down was the Hellfire: Incendiary machine pistol with an under barrel flamethrower.
They don't make games like 00s games anymore. I miss them.
Not AAA, but you can find indie/AA devs making games like Timeshift and FEAR.
Gotta wade through a lot of 90s Doom/Quake clones though to find them.
I actually loved this game when it came out and got every non multiplayer achievement on the 360. I think THQ owns the rights now so maybe we can get a sequel.
Me Too But What Makes You Think That THQ Own The Right To TimeShift
The atmosphere in the first level with the rain is actually amazing. They should have made the entire game like the first level.
Good to see this game get some attention! I remember getting the Demo Disc in an Xbox Magazine at the grocery store as a child and being really intrigued by it, this was back before I was on the internet as a kid so I had only magazines and word of mouth / G4 TV
The office chair on the grate is somehow the most realistic thing about this game
Since you're on the trend of old mid 2000s shooters, can we please get Turok from 2006? I actually love the game and remember it very fondly.
i loved this game when i was a kid, never forgot about it. the time manipulation was what sold me. the multiplayer was so fun too!
The mad lad did it. The holy trinity of generic FPS games has been completed🙌🙌
No, there is another....probably.
I've synced my phone's framerate to this video and all that happened is you earned another fan.
That game is nostalgic to me
I played it a lot back when PS3 was released
Still have the cd
One of my favorite things to do in multiplayer was to bait snipers into shooting me while I’m in a reverse bubble rebounding the shot back into them.
I remember I really wanted modern warfare 2 when it came out, but it was too expensive so my parents bought me this used. I really enjoyed this game. This brought back a lot of memories.
TimeShift was a game I owned, loved, but could never run properly. All I remember of it is how bullet time would make me run at 5 frames a second, so it was like EXTRA slow-mo bullet time
"you know the drill by now" at the start make sense. Brilliant editing!
You have been going through the games i used to rent at blockbuster way back in the day, the nostalgia is real haha
That star citizen joke legitimately made me cough up my water lmao
Daniels doesn't even hit the fan blades, he just explodes on impact with the ground.
Wow. You took the fun out of playing this game for those who haven't found this yet.
My favorite thing to do was in the multiplayer, throw down a reverse time grenade then jump on top of it, it sends you FLYING
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who always mixes up a lot of these 7th gen shooters 😂
Best game ever made.
Uhh n-nahh
It's the game ever made.
Ok
Dude, how do you not have over a million followers? You are an absolute comedy genius! Thank you so much for consistantly making my day.^^
Thanks for the little nostalgia trip. This game was definitely of its time, and had some pretty fun mechanics. I loved these types of game on my Xbox 360, which is still my favourite console.

Absolut mad lad

Best demo on the PS3, free multiplayer game as a broke kid, lol.
3:12 the chair wheels on a grate does ruin my suspension of disbelief
Man, this sure brings some memories. I found this game inside a Rumble Roses XX disc box that dad bought for me when I was a wee lad. Fun time
Genuinely loved it, so original, played it like hell. I wish it had better shooting
I used to remember reading about this in Hyper, an Australian game magazine. It had been in their "Previews" section for ages. I was too young for the controversy about Duke Nukem and Prey so this was my first exposure to "development hell".

This game is one of the first LPs I watched on early YT lol
I remember this was the only game I wanted when I got my 360 I played the demo like 20 times and when I finally got it I made it to level 2
Finally getting around to play this. Really reminds me of the first fear. Really cool game.
You know your fan base is great when half of the comments tell you how underrated you are
This game was lit, and left with a nasty cliffhanger.
You should give F.E.A.R 1 and it's expansions a chance man.
This game was a pleasant surprise back then. Played it through at least 2 times.
That laser dodge was impressive
I love how he just domes the main villain with no nonsense.
I remember playing this and it seemed like literally no one had ever heard of it
I JUST REALIZED. It bothered me the first time I saw this video, that the second guy who didn't fire on Oboe looked familiar. His facial model is RIDICULOUSLY similar to the one used for the Captain Norton in Deadspace 3.
when you played the music at 4:20 I immediately recognized it from the crane part in the highway 17 chapter of half life 2
I suggest either Battlefield Bad Company (the original) or Army of Two TFD for your next in 2010-ish FPS games that people vaguely recall.
This game was a pleasant surprise as a kid. Got it for a laugh but the mechanics and multi-player were tons of fun
beating the laser wall without timeshifting, should be achievement
Damn, you also mentioned Haze, i really miss all these weird ass fps each based on some kind of different mechanic. They were all so mediocre but so much fun.
Dude I'm not gonna cap I literally looked this video up 12 hours ago and was like damn he should play that.
I still play this game occasionally.....it's one of the only combat games that let's you rewind time along with freezing it and slowing it down.....plus I use a cheat engine to have unlimited time powers so I can really mess around......I would kill for a vr game like this just to mess around with rewinding and freezing time in vr
"One of the games ever made"
I think thats on the box
I'm proud to say I had the chance to play the multiplayer side of this game on xbox and I actually liked it. This was one of the first games I ever owned
This and Quake 4 are my guilty pleasures.
literally yesterday I was wondering if you had ever made a video on this game, now I know lol
The only friend
I ever had in high school traded a game I had with this, and I loved it
Maybe all the cement mixers are for repairing the constant damage from the Scarab things walking around.
One of my favourite games growing up
your uploads keep me alive
no pressure
the cement joke was on point
i remember playing the Online Demo with the bois back in the day. i had a blast.
This game is still really enjoyable
What even is game sound? It wasn’t invented back when they travelled in time to record this video.
I remember renting this thinking it was Singularity. Played all the way through. None of this is ringing any bells lol
My memory of this game is listening to the metal music video in settings
Bro I love this channel to my death
I misread this as TimeSplitters for some reason, man Oboes you should really play TimeSplitters 1 & 2
I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR MODERN REVIEWS OF THIS
Just a Happy coincidence
This game is freaking awesome. The graphics are damn good. Gameplay is aswesome. Hidden gem for sure.
Daily petition for Oboeshoes to do a vid on Homefront The Revolution and its expansions
"one of the games ever made" lmfao the thumbnail for this is just *chef's kiss*
wouldnt touching fire while time is stopped still burn you
idk, go make an experiment
Concrete answer… wow… subbed
This is a classic! Definitely one of my best shooters I played on the Xbox 360
They shift now? They shift now...
Haven't touched this in years, thanks for reminding me to pick it up lol
Absolutely nuts without time skip
Man I used to love this freaking game.
Damn this brings back memories, always wanted to buy this game but never did
this game was fire and played the shit out of it when it came out back in 2007 when i was 10 to 11 years old.
Goddamnit. This channel is so great. I love this shit. You make my life less stressful, man. Thank you so much. I laugh so much watching your channel.
Your "wow" sounds incredibly similar to Owen Wilson's and it makes me chuckle
Oh man you did it
Blue ball star citizen joke is a top 5 oboe joke of all time
I used to play this demo all the time on 360
Loved this game as a kid. And got stuck on those giant fans a bunch, too.
