Hello Everyone,

Atari and Saber Interactive are pleased to announce a closed public beta test for the upcoming first person shooter TimeShift. The beta test will be composed of the multiplayer game mode only, the purpose of which is to get your feedback on game tuning and balance, help with hardware compatibility testing, and also general functionality testing. Remember that if you are selected for the beta you will be under a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) which means you cannot discuss the product outside of our dedicated private beta forum. Please see below for details on the minimum requirements and how to sign up today!

Minimum specs:
· CPU: 2 GHz or equivalent
· RAM: 512MB
· HDD free space: 6GB
· Video Card: 128MB VRAM, pixel shader 1.1 support
· Network: ADSL or better

In TimeShift you play Michael Swift, a test pilot who is briefly sent back in time to gather data. You return to Washington D.C. in an alternate timeline and as an enemy of a fascist government. Now on the run and wearing a multi-billion dollar time shifting suit, it is your mission to set time straight once again. Some key features of the multiplayer mode include: Arsenal of incredibly detailed weapons each with standard and alternate fire, compete against up to 16 players, stop and slow players using unique time grenades, operate numerous gun turrets and stop other players in their tracks, and an array of indoor, urban, and outdoor environments. A very limited number of testers will also be selected to test the Single Player campaign.

Our planned launch date for the beta is the last week of January, 2006. At the present time our www.betatests.net site is down so signups are being handled differently for this beta. Visit the following URL and fill in your information to signup http://www.terriblesecretofspace.com/beta/use/Timeshift/form1.html

If you have any questions feel free to email betatestadmin@atari.com

Be swift, signup today, and prepare to launch yourself into an alternate timeline (or at least a new year) and work to make TimeShift one of our best beta tests in 2006!

Hello Everyone,
Atari and Saber Interactive must announce that signups are no longer being taken for TimeShift. Due to overwhelming signups we have many more than needed, and we’re incredibly happy about the reception this has received! Thank you to everyone who has signed up, and give it about three weeks before those selected receive an email notification.

Best Regards,
