Section 8 is revived from development limbo
A long time ago, the developers of F.E.A.R. planned to use the Unreal Engine 3 in a game known as Section 8. Ever since then, the title vanished from headlines, tummylines, even toelines. It was, in essence, not on the body at all (in this analogy, the internet is a human body). Enter recently formed publisher GameCock, who have taken TimeGate Studio's game by the hand and brought it back to life.The game is essentially a post-apocalyptic FPS title, with strategy and tactical elements a la Freedom Fighters (so we'd like to imagine). You are a member of Section 8 -- an elite group of infantry in powered armor who take on the most dangerous missions on many of the future's war-torn planets. Yes, planets, plural. Expect to kick some men on Mars and some women on Venus. Those weird creatures on Uranus? Well, insert your own clever innuendo here. Expect the title to pop up at E3, with an expected release date as of right now set in 2009.
TimeGate Studios unveiling three new titles this year
Remember those games Axis & Allies and the beloved F.E.A.R. Extraction Point? TimeGate Studios was behind those and they've come out and announced they've got three titles in the works for the rest of the year. They're trying to expand their development team and get some clout in the developing industry. We don't blame them. It sounds like a fierce, competitive business.So what did they say? Here's what Tom Ohle, Evolve PR man, had to say: "TimeGate is hard at work on three new games, each of which is poised to smash through the competition thanks to the company's ability to create engrossing new worlds and to seamlessly blend genres to deliver the best games possible ... one of these games marks the first time console gamers will get a taste."What will we get a taste of? IGN reports one of the games is called Section 8 and is due out for the PC, PS3, and 360. Nothing is known except for the concept: FPS plus strategy. We'd like to imagine a Freedom Fighters-esque game. That game rocked. Does anyone else want to take a guess on the other games?
