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.
