We’ve been covering Namco Bandai’s gravity-flipping action game, Inversion, since it was announced in October 2009 and we’ve continued to be very curious about the game as we discovered more about more about the unique combat abilities, set-pieces and multiplayer modes that we can expect.
With a fluid release date, however, and lots of silence on the part of Namco Bandai and developer Saber Interactive, general confidence in Inversion has been slipping…
… so it’s at least a little heartening to see a clutch of screenshots emerge from a recent ‘Global Gamer’s Day’ held by the publisher.
Imagine a world where any surface - not only floors, but walls and ceilings too - could be augmented by gravity at any time to become a new place to walk. Imagine a world where gravity itself was able to be toggled on and off as you please.
In the crazy world of Inversion, mere contrivances such as gravity don’t matter much at all and while we’ve seen cars, busses and even buildings floating in mid-air in a previously released trailer for this action game, it’s probably the first time we’ve been able to witness a hoard of ugly aliens storming a building by running up the side of it, clearly unhindered by the forces of nature.
A little mind-bending? Sure. Very awesome? That too:
First announced at the tail-end of 2009, news has been quiet on Namco Bandai and Saber Interactive’s highly intriguing Inversion… until earlier this year, that is, when it was revealed that the gravity-twisting action game had been pushed back into a 2012 release window.
With the release of live-action/CG trailer for this third-person shooter, a solid early February 2012 release date has been announced after we’re shown quick cuts and glimpses at what could potentially happen in the game, with floating sauce, cars and people as a result of what looks to be an alien invasion of Earth.
Creepy. Chilling. Hot sauce. It’s all here in this trailer:
A new title, Inversion, has been announced to be in production at TimeShift developer Saber Interactive, with publishing duties being handled by Namco Bandai.
What’s so special about Inversion? As a third-person shooter, Inversion features a little something extra for people to get excited about: gravity flipping.
