TimeShift

German version

There are a number of changes in the German version:

• All blood and gore effects were removed.
• Corpses disappear faster.
• Ragdoll effects on corpses were removed.
• Enemies and corpses can't be set on fire.
• Some script sequences were removed, e.g. the execution of an ally in the second level.

A detailed list of changes can be found on schnittberichte.com (German).

Platforms

Initially, TimeShift was in development for Windows, with Xbox and Xbox 360 versions announced soon after. The Xbox version was eventually cancelled, as the developers wanted to fully concentrate on the new generation of consoles. Instead, development on a PlayStation 3 version was started.

Publisher

The game was originally going to be published by Atari, but the publishing rights went to Sierra on 20 April 2006. Information was scarce, and the project seemed to be cancelled until 10 April 2007, when the publisher announced the game was given a complete overhaul. The most notable change was a complete re-imagining of visual style, moving away from a steampunk theme.
