This looks truly beautiful.


My computer, unfortunately, probably won't be able to handle it, though.

Wow this game is very intriguing, but I'm worried it my become the ultimate game of 1up'edness, with people going farther and farther back in order to kill the other player.

And Chris Hazard is the best name ever.
Me too, but I can see myself attempting to play this in the future (see what I did there?)

Anyway, their time mechanic will probably be the next most-copied concept since bullet time (at least it has the potential to) if they pull it off well.

The game mechanics will prevent that. The farther back in time you go, the more "energy" your actions in the past will cost. Basically, as stated in the interview, you can either jump back a small amount and perform a bunch of actions, or jump back a large amount but only be able to perform a few actions.

As such, I doubt there's going to be a way for people to keep going back in time constantly, especially when you're going to run out of energy really fast if you try doing that.

its sounds really seems good but its not that a big change compare to games like c&c you can allways play as usual and when you going to die you can going back at time by doing load and that game just make it easyer to do it but its doing much more then that by sending your forces to the past thats makes it really original and intresting game - i hope it wont have to be with really high "demands" for the computer

So...it's possible to play this game multi-player? I'm having a hard time understanding how that'd be possible.

Any new RTS is a welcome development in my book. Would be cool if they could skin this with Terminator units, but maybe in a mod or a subsequent release.

The idea of jumping through time to destroy your friend's army just as it is attacking you sounds fun (I wish I could do that in Starcraft), but this game doesn't look very graphically slick. The units look kinda like ugly blocks... Maybe it's just because it's the alpha build (as noted in the video), but it won't engage a lot of gamers if it looks like something from the 90's.
