Section 8 is a new first-person shooter developed by TimeGate Studios. It’s set in a sci-fi universe where soldiers weld powerful battle armor and drop in from space – spawning in the sky and dropping anywhere on the battlefield. This game is looking excellent, with the battles on the ground being fast-paced and frenetic. The short-range jetpacks give it a Tribes vibe, whereas the base control and vehicle integration make it feel a bit Battlefield-esque. In the end, though, it feels unique and sets itself apart from other typical FPS games.
It’s coming together rather nicely, and I’ve been enjoying the beta a lot. I must say that dropping from the sky is a thrilling experience, as you’re able to slam on the air-brakes and guide your descent – making a precise landing or dodging anti-air flak.

Am I really the only one who thought this looked cool? Haha. Who all grabbed Section 8? I’m still considering picking it up (it’s on Steam! Yay).
