What is this? When I first looked at these screenshots, I thought “Halo”. I asked my girlfriend to look at the screenshots and tell me what immediately pops into her head, but she said Battlestar Galactica. (Thought she was going to say Halo) All I know about this game is, it’s called Section 8 and its being developed by TimeGate. (The guys who did F.E.A.R. Files) By looking at the pictures provided, it’s obvious we’re looking at a Sci-Fi Shooter. I can’t help but think of Halo here. Especially on some of the environments, and what looks like a mix of an Elite and Cylon hybrid character or something
I was reading about all this on Joystiq earilier and they mentioned that in the game, when you die, instead of just respawning the normal boring way, in Section 8 you end up respawning 15,000 feet up in the air where you can descend down to get back into the battle. Sounds like they’re getting creative here. Dying in games just may become fun for once. Wonder if you can land one someone and crush them? That would be my strategy every time.
One thing that I think is missing from Halo 3, is something I came to enjoy thoroughly on Call of Duty 4, and that’s a sprint feature. Sometimes playing Halo 3 after COD: 4 I feel like I’m playing in slow-mo. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the option to run a bit faster in ODST? Anyway, my point is, you can sprint in Section 8 and probably one of the best parts of this whole game… are you ready for this? This is like some Michael Jackson shit right here, Section 8 comes fully loaded.. with JetPacks. Yes my friends, JetPacks. (Please Game Gods, don’t let this game suck)
So what do you guys think? What are your first impressions by looking at these screenshots of Section 8?
