New Gameplay Trailer For Inversion Makes Things Topsy-Turvy

I’m the kind of guy who’ll always give games that muck with the core precepts of spacetime at least a gander.

That’s the thinking behind Namco Bandai’s upcoming shooter Inversion, which lets you reverse gravity to flip enemies out of cover and create absurd grenade throws.

The Uneasy Shooter Inversion Focuses On The Gravity Of War

Cover based third-person shooter Inversion looks and feels very much like other cover based third-person shooters – Gears of War, for example – with the exception of one major thing: gravity. That and a rare innovation with one other video game staple, the exploding barrel.

This Great Inversion Trailer Has No Gameplay But Still Succeeds

Remember Inversion? If not, it’s the gravity flipping shooter that Namco Bandai first announced way back in 2009. We last saw the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game in action at last year’s Gamescom. Now we have a new look at Saber Interactive’s third-person shooter… sort of.
