New Inversion details, screens and video

Some juicy new bits and bobs for Namco Bandai's forthcoming third-person, gravity spinning shooter.

Namco Bandai are certainly having a busy E3 2011 what with showing off Dark Souls, Ace Combat Assault Horizon, Soul Calibur V et al. However, here at IncGamers we like to give a shout out to new IP's which is why we've choosen this specific minute right here to talk about Inversion.

Inversion is a third-person shooter in which you play David Russel, a "young father and husband" who must protect his city from an unknown enemy. It's all very Holywood. It's all very Pearl Harbour. But, hey, this is a videogame. Videogame storylines are almost also cheesy. That's why we love them.

Anyway, Inversion's 'big thing' is that it gives you control over gravity which allows you to run up the sides of buildings, along ceilings and jump across stupidly wide gaps. 

We'll bring you more about Inversion as our E3 2011 coverages continues but, for now, here's a few bullet points, images and afancy new trailer.

The bullet points:

• Multiplayer Options: Play through the compelling story on your own or play with others in either co-op or competitive modes.Battle with up to 16 friends in gravity defying multiplayer maps and modes.
• Breakthrough Gravity-Defying Gameplay: Learn to maneuver and shoot in an ever-changing state of global gravity, including weightless gameplay in zero gravity.Control gravitational forces using your Grav link device to either increase or decrease the amount of gravity on a given target.Command gravity to crush objects in your way, fl oat enemies into range or even pick up cars to use them as mobile cover.
• Innovative Cover System: With bullets flying, seek cover objects in the environment or manipulate objects to create cover for yourself.
• Pervasive Environmental Destruction: INVERSION have been specifically designed to allow for maximum destructibility using the “Havok Destruction” module.Blast through the environments, target your enemies’ cover blasting it to bits or even knock down overhead objects to crush the enemy below.
