News from Gamescom now includes overdue and unforeseen word about Grasshopper Manufacture, specifically a partnership with Digital Reality that will see the co-development of titles, starting with Sine Mora for release on XBLA and PSN – which is being plugged as an “innovative shooter… which mixes traditional side-scrolling gameplay with unique time manipulation mechanics.”

That’s right, apparently I get to write that Grasshopper is working on a side-scrolling shooter. Without assets, all I can offer is the site for Digital Reality, which possibly begs the question, “How did this all come about anyway?”
