The premise of the game is VERY interesting but it's ruined by bad execution. If a big budget studio would make the sequel it could actually be a good game.

According to some dodgy psuedo-science I read a couple of years ago, the grandfather paradox is no longer the most popular theory for how time travel works. Rather, the multiple branching realities model is now the current theory, where if you travelled backward in time and killed your grandfather, two separate parallel realities would exist from that point on, one in which your grandfather lived and one in which he didn't. Then there was some stuff about travelling along Feynman Curves.
I think I may actually give this game a try!
PS - hey now, don't be so hard on RTS's. Rome Total War happens to be one of my favorite games of all time, and I'm not a middle manager and I don't even like spreadsheets. Have you played it? Just because you only like FPS's and old adventure games doesn't those are the only things that are fun.

I believe you're referring to retrocausality. Yeah, I dunno if I'd call that psuedoscience (except in those cases where fringe science-types try to apply it to the paranormal) so much as a hypothesis still open to debate and currently unsupported by experimental observation. The theory behind it still makes sense, particularly when they apply it to physics.Rath709 said:
Feynman's lectures are brilliant stuff, even if some of them make my head explode. I'd highly recommend to anyone the book 'Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman' for some humorous light reading.
Back to the game: I saw a demo of this on the PAX floor and it really appeared to be an interesting concept, but I figured they weren't going to do enough with it. I can't decide if it's nice to be correct, or if it's disappointing.
Well, I'd never heard of the game until now, and I think i'll keep my distance for a while, until something promising comes out of the series.
I may have to check out the demo, just to see if it's as big a train wreck as everyone says it is. I actually thought this review was in the direction of Ben liking it, until a little past halfway. Good review.
