Gamecock gets Section 8

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Jul 3, 2007 3:31 pm PT

Publisher picks up new first-person shooter from F.E.A.R. Extraction Point developer Timegate Studios.

Section 8 concept art.

In the past, a Section 8 was a military discharge for psychiatric reasons. In the future, Section 8 will be a sci-fi first-person shooter from Texas-based Timegate Studios, the developer announced today.

While Timegate is known for its work on real-time strategy games like 2004's Axis & Allies and the Kohan series, it has some experience with first-person shooters as well, having developed the F.E.A.R. Extraction Point expansion for Sierra's supernatural PC shooter. Helping bring Section 8 to store shelves will be the recently established Gamecock Media Group, the publisher behind forthcoming projects from independent developers like Wideload Games, Crackpot Entertainment, Auran, and more.

Details of Section 8 (including its story and the reason for its title) are being kept quiet for now, but the game has been assigned a scheduled release date sometime in 2009. According to Timegate, the "next-gen" shooter is currently scheduled for multiple platforms.

    Looks brutal. You guys, take to the system wars forum. There are plenty of FPSs coming to PS3. Just check the All PS3 Games list.

    I think that hands down the PC and the 360 have the most First Person Shooters. The PS3 has nothing compared to these two systems. Well, the game looks kinda interesting, but there isn't much info right now...We'll se how it turns out.

    oh wow, ryax23...you think that the ps3 is the game with the first person shooters? well you may be as wrong as i may seem to suggest, but that's kinda Microsoft's reputation right now...
