Copy Clerk  Posts: 111 Joined: 16 Jun 2009    | Wow, they could not have made Section 8 look more like everything else. "Instead of goo guns and laser pulse rifles, you get assault rifles and shotguns." Looked alot like Halo to me, right down to the floating jumps, invisi-shields, and left handed grenade tosses. ZzZZzZZ |

Which is why it was hilarious. At least I was laughing. (placelessly?) |

I may or may not have meant to say pricelessly... |

Ah! Well, that makes far more sense, then. :) |

Yeah, the things I say tend to make more sense when I actually say them as opposed to think them. |

And? Not that there is necessarily any corollary between this fantasy world and ours, but almost every special forces unit is volunteer based. You generally don't conscript soldiers into elite units. |

The best candidates for any given task are rarely selected by a random draft. Most work hard to become exceptional. Is it so hard to believe that the greatest soldiers in the universe would come to Section 8 for little more than a spot in the history books? |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire  Posts: 12036 Joined: 12 Jul 2009   | Ok, that was unbelievably random. The game looks good, and that 'burning drop' feature could be interesting. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 630 Joined: 2 Feb 2008  | Wow, guys, you've really outdone yourself on the CGI this time! I almost felt sick watching Russ falling. But try not to overspend on the expensive CGI or you might run out of money for the servers. ;) |

...wait that scene with Russ wasn't real? |
Muckraker  Posts: 234 Joined: 11 Sep 2008   | The one thing I will say about this game is that the lvl's seem very empty // Apart from a few random items and the main building there was nothin to them // Now that could just be the way its set up, that the world its set on is like that // Will no more later Also, Put The Kitten Down!!! -M |

Professional soldiers are volunteers. The US and most western military are made up of volunteers. A volunteer military do more for less and have a strong history of destroying conscription/draft armies. |
Muckraker  Posts: 325 Joined: 23 Oct 2008 | Cool episode, I really wanted to see more of Section 8. Is it just me or the graphics are closer to shit land than in other games ? Also the phrase "Coming Soon" should be banned or killed or something. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2663 Joined: 30 Dec 2008   | Well when that guy said with consoles I think he meant with console. I'm sorry but stuff like that really annoys me. Anywho... Russ that falling was awesome! Also I wish I could be pumped for Section 8 but since it's not coming out for the PS3 I can't get too involved. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 507 Joined: 3 Dec 2008   | I'm at 2 minutes into the video and 5 stars already. Unfortunately, the Section 8 beta plays no sound on my computer. I've reported it (I'm not the only one with the problem), but only played one game so never figured out how to decently equip myself while in the fray on the battlefield, or however you do it. Still, it looks like a pretty cool game and I like the overall artistic sense and style, so if I had sound I'd be playing. But in my line of work, whenever I hear "Section 8" I think federally subsidized housing. EDIT: When the announcer tells us what section 8 DOESN'T have--i.e. futuristic weapons and alien races--it left me really wishing it DID have that. I mean, isn't this the perfect setting for District 9 type weaponry? Is a shot gun really appropriate for shooting space marines in power armor? Haven't we been there done that with the usual weapon set? If you are one of the Section 8 game designers and happen to be reading this please you are still in beta think about adding some of these things you know you want too!! =p |

Welcome, then! |
On the Record  Posts: 6051 Joined: 12 Apr 2008 | Wow, that game looks unbelieveably bland, honestly. I never really feel any emotional connection with people inside tin-cans. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1854 Joined: 8 Apr 2008   | Was that super-fake southern accent part of the game? If not, cute. If it was, Ugh. |

No, that is not part of the game. That was my ill-fated attempt at a gruff, Southern Marine of the future, glad you thought it was cute ;) |

Copy Clerk Posts: 80 Joined: 26 Mar 2008    | Wow I may have even purchased this game until I watched this video and learned that their producer was a complete prick. It's clear he has nothing but contempt for other game developers. "Burn in spawning" and the better flow of gameplay seemed interesting, but I'd rather wait until they're copied by another developer with less of a chip on their shoulder. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 678 Joined: 12 Oct 2008   | oh noes! Those poor kittehs! Now that we've got that outta the way, Section 8 shaping up to be a decent FPS, albeit a slightly generic one. Hopefully the vehicles will be more refined in a future patch |
