Section 8 Trailer Tells the Story of 'Section 8'

"You don't get into Section 8 easily," says TimeGate Studios creative director Phillip Morales. "It's a very rigorous selection process. Nobody is just picked to go into the powered armour suits."

Something tells me this premise might momentarily fall apart in the tutorial, as the new, rigorously selected players struggle to shoot a frog. But eventually players will "rise in the ranks," uncover the "true motivation" for the war, and probably teabag some mechs in multiplayer. You know how those professional Section 8 guys operate.

Is it just me or do all those conceptart-designed games look all the same? Halo, UT3, Too Human, Mass Effect ... If someone made screenshots without GUI, I doubt I could see a difference.

I had an ex-girlfriend who qualified for Section 8. It was hardly a "very rigorous selection process". She just had a kid w/ a dead beat father, and earned below minimum wage.

Oh great, another `badass` gruff white guy with shaved hair as the main character. Needs more Samus before the Zero Suit.

I really want the next Starsiege:Tribes, all these imitators are really weak (including Legions). S:T had so much depth for a full 3D-movement FPS.

Interesting, though I hope that they're going to make the controls for the PC work on the PC, and not just as a port of the 360 controls.

That tiny FOV makes it painful to watch, I can't imagine it playing any better. :(

I would heartily recommend the MP to any FPS newbie or someone that tends to get frustrated during the MP of other FPS games. I don't know if I could recommend it to anyone that plays a lot of FPS game though.

Doesn't sound too bad actually, I was expecting any story to be awful but was surprised that they went with something fairly doable in terms of plot. Sure the sci-fi won't win any awards, but from their description it seems like they thought it through at least and have what could possibly be a good progression to the game eg: starting as a simple foot soldier and rising up in rank with the help of your commanders. There's the possibility of solid character development here.

Of course if all they did was; "Oh no, my superior is dead! I shall now rise up to lead the way cause I'm the main character and thus made of pure awesome" - that will be extremely clichÃ© and crap.

Well, fingers crossed.

The multiplayer beta was surprisingly fun.

Its refreshing to see a dev team put some thought into the multiplayer aspect of their game rather than just tack on some generic deathmatch shiite. If the single player gets good reviews I might actually buy this.
