Nope - maybe for the sequel! :) There will be two other unique pre-order items available through other retailers. Don't think we've announced those other items yet though, so I have to keep quiet, but they're pretty cool.

Just a quick update to say we're still figuring our what to do here. And to post this: Sorry about the crappy quality - taken in my office on my iPhone...Superman figure to give scale (statue is about 7" tall). This is a statue we had comissioned. So far, there are only two in the world...

Ack! That's a good point; we need to include you dirty Brits. I'm allowed to say that since I'm one too, although...I'm English by birth...Texan by the grace of god....heh... :lol: We've been talking about options...I've got to include our legal eagles since there's prizes involved, but if...

I was thinking something a little fancier than that! We can do signed copies of the game no problem. I'm talking to TimeGate today, so we'll see what sort of stuff we can come up with.

Sweet. I'll talk to a few people internally and see what we think makes sense. What kind of prize(s) do you think would get people jazzed?

Right now we're looking at the end of August/beginning of September. We're going to be at PAX, so maybe that could be the deadline? Is that enough time? Somebody sent this to me earlier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDRMbPc018U I'm glad I'm so animated. I should maybe not move as much next...

Cool! Any other takers? Also - just remembered that in the art shown above for the Arm soldier, you can see that he has a different spec to the version in the CG trailer. In fact, the original Arm soldier was modified to become the Section 8 trooper. We also have Captain's armor variants for...

The enemy faction (playable in multiplayer) is called the 'Arm of Orion'. They have very similar tech to Section 8, but it seems to have been influenced by an 'outside source'. I'd love to see some Arm armor created. Who's up for a competition?! Heh...no idea what we'd give out as a prize, but...

Haha - that's cool. All I know is that the damn thing was heavy! :lol: I was in the armor for maybe 3.5 hours and after holding the rifle for much of that time, it felt like I'd been hitting the curling bar pretty hard. I think he added lead, uranium and the sound of slayer to the original...

Also - if you haven't seen it yet, here's the CG trailer for the game with some nice views of the armor 'in action': http://www.gametrailers.com/video/official...section-8/44754

Here are some pictures of Sid in the armor. I'm sure he won't mind me posting these: Detail of the open face helmet variant.

I registered to say this: this is me. Heh... :lol: I'm not a model; I'm VP Marketing at SouthPeak Games (Publishers of Section 8) and I commissioned Nightmare Armor to make this for us. The short story is that the model we hired to wear the armor on the show floor had a call-back for a TV...
