The Eternity Clock (video game): Difference between revisions

'''''The Eternity Clock''''' is the first of a three-part series of games for PlayStation 3, PS Vita, and PC. It can be played by one or two players. The one-player option switches between the characters of the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[River Song]]. The two-player option has both characters playing simultaneously.   

Rogue [[Time corridor|time corridors]] are opening all over London, connecting Elizabethan, Victorian, modern day and future London. It's up to [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[River Song]] to investigate and close these corridors - a process not made easy by the sudden appearance of [[Cybermen]], [[Dalek]]s, [[Silurian]]s and [[The Silence (species)|the Silence]] throughout history!

Onboard [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the Doctor struggles to navigate a temporal maelstrom. He lands on [[Earth]]. However, the TARDIS appears in a bad way. The instruments confirm the time storm covers the planet. The Doctor exits to find himself in the [[Bank of England]] in the modern day. When the TARDIS vanishes in a flash of light, he is trapped. On the advice of a [[psychic paper]] message from his future self he uses gold bars to smash through a grate into the Victorian-era vaults under the bank. He finds a [[perception filter]] he recognises as his own work. He disables it, revealing a sewer entrance. However, the passage below is blocked by a gate requiring someone on each side to open.

* The Doctor starts to quote ''[[Bohemian Rhapsody]]'' by [[Queen (band)|Queen]] during the storm in Elizabethan London, but River shushes him.

The original release date was to be in February 2012, but it was pushed back several times until it was finally released on the 23rd May 2012 for PlayStation 3 via PSN. A version of the game was released for PS Vita, via PSN, on 10th October 2012, and on PC, via Steam, on 15th November, 2012.

* The Doctor refers to the Eternity Clock by name before that name has been established by River.

* The Doctor cites his age as 900 years old, but reference is made to ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'', wherein the Doctor is at least 1,103 (per ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'').

* When the Doctor and River are trying to take the third piece of the Eternity Clock from [[the Silence]], the Silence say, "It makes no difference to us when you die", but throughout Series 6 it was stated that the Doctor's death at Lake Silencio ''([[TV]]: [[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'',''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') is a fixed point in time, so the Doctor has to die at Lake Silencio.

* Many episodes, events and controversies central to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' are referenced either through dialogue or connected to collectible items, including:

** [[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]''
