SECTION 8 TO BE ALL THE FPS IT CAN BE?

There is a pretty interesting article over at Ripten about Section 8, detailing how TimeGate is preparing it’s new FPS to be your next video game addiction. They’re even taking out all the annoying parts you hate about your current favorite FPS. Tired of getting spawn killed? Eliminated. Tired of hopping in a vehicle and just being a useless passenger? Eliminated. Tired of walking all the way across the map only to watch yourself take a shot to the dome and have to start the spawn countdown all over again? Eliminated. (see: Halo with Jetpacks?)And the way they are getting past some of these obstacles are pretty creative. So far, from what I have seen about this game, it’s looks pretty promising. It’s supposed to come out Fall 2009 but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a delay somewhere down the road. There has already been some legal drama with this game so they’re not off to the best start. Let’s see where this goes, I’ll hold my excitement until I see some actual gameplay. Check out the Ripten article though, it’s a good read.
