TimeGate Studios has just sent over the following press release to confirm that a PlayStation 3 version of Section 8 is in development and will be available to download from the PlayStation Network Spring 2010.

Here's the full press release:

Sugar Land, Texas -- Feb. 16, 2010 – PlayStation®3 system fans will get their chance to “burn-in” and join the fight on Section 8, TimeGate Studios’ sci-fi multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS). Section 8 gives players an unprecedented amount of strategic control by introducing groundbreaking approaches to FPS gameplay with dynamic in-game objectives, customizable loadouts and deployable equipment.

The PlayStation®3 system version will ship with a full single-player campaign, instant action mode (with full bot support) and a robust multiplayer mode which includes 11 multiplayer maps, three of which are not included at retail on any other platform. Expect extensive improvements when the full version of the game becomes available for purchase and download on Sony’s PlayStation Network in Spring 2010.

Section 8 is the first title on the PlayStation®3 system to include support for TimeGate Studios’ proprietary TGNServer technology, which allows gamers to host 32 player games from their home PC. Players can configure map rotations, change server variables and set a remote admin password to administer the server in-game.

Section 8 caters to FPS players with two genre-changing features: “burn-in” spawning and dynamic combat missions (DCMs). Burning-in effectively ends spawn-killing by allowing players to drop anywhere on the map from 15,000 feet in real-time. DCMs add a new layer of unpredictability to multiplayer matches with mission objectives activated in real-time.

“Section 8 will be an unforgettable experience for first-person shooter fans on the PlayStation®3 system since there’s nothing quite like it on the PlayStation Network,” says Adel Chaveleh, CEO, TimeGate Studios. “We’re sure fans will agree that Section 8 is a breath of fresh air for gamers tired of stale, ‘me-too’ multiplayer first-person shooters that fail to innovate.”

Gamers can view game stats, manage clans and track individual leaderboards with a quick trip to the robust Section 8 website, http://www.joinsection8.com/.

Section 8 will be available on the PlayStation®3 system in Spring 2010 on the PlayStation Network. For more information on the Section 8, please visit http://www.joinsection8.com/

The question is why? It wont even break 100k, so why port it? :| The game was a flop on the 360, tough not a major one, and the PS3s shooter base is far smaller. Bioshock barely managed to do 500k, this will BOMB.

Huh? what is this?

its crap.

Well it actually wasnt all crap and it had some neet ideas Lets hope that the PSN release startegy will work out for them

^^^
it was crap, the whole thing was just an uninspired FPS with no good idea of a "Fun" game.

nah, it had alright MP. Fun weekend rental. It needs a SP campaign and it would be a solid 80 metacritic game.

doesn't it have a sp campaign ?

well it says above that the psn release will. I figure the others did too ?

haven't really heard of this game before.. and I'm unlikely to get it. Too many other games I want that I can't afford already :p

It has the same SP campaign as Unreal tournament 3. Just bunch of deathmatch levels tied with "We must kill them" story.

One mans trash is another mans treasure...
