When does this game come out? How much time is there?

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:

I'm glad I'm so animated. I should maybe not move as much next time. ;)

Excellent job on this stuff by the way. The fan community is always impressed when a developer cares enough to make an appeal to them with costumes and community contact. Sid and all the guys at Nightmare do great work, and these suits look very impressive.

Kudos to getting the pic up on the 360 dashboard E3 menu. It is a shame though that there was no content within the videos backing up your exposure. When I saw it, I immediately went hunting through all the E3 videos for some explanation of the photo, and was disappointed when there wasn't anything there. They should have given you guys more exposure than that if they were going to use your image to draw people's interest. You listening Major Nelson?? ;)

As far as your suggested contest, it sounds like a wonderful idea we could really get behind. Please let us know what you've got in mind for it, and the admins (and the Adams :D ) here can make it more official, and get you maximum exposure.

Again, excellent work. We really appreciate you dropping by to chat.
 
Time for your walmart visit!


See, the trouble is, PAX is the same time as Dcon. :-( It's a tough choice for 405thers.

Honestly, if you're serious about the contest thing, and have some assets, we can front page it (new fancy front page done by Vexona and her team www.405th.com) and I'm sure we could get some pretty cool things done.

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 it might be cool...? I can get hold of 3D turnarounds and basically anything else you'd need if anyone's interested?

If you can get us some 3d turn arounds, or even better a low poly model I'll def. start this. Without an actual model to pep with it will take a little longer though. But I think alot of us would be in for a little Section 8 Action.

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?

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.

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 one of the mods/admins wants to email me and start a dialog - that'd be cool.

Don't worry mate - I often muse on whether I should have been Texan also. My dad did a lot of work in Houston, and I seem to have a great affinity for firearms and BBQ ribs, even though I've only ever been to Florida and Georgia...

Looks like someone could make COG Armor and just modify it heavily.

I couldn't enter, Low on cash and I'm working on getting paintball gear.

Good luck in the contest everyone :D
 
Imperial Dick I have a quick question. Will there be a limited edition version of the Section 8 game?


I would also like to add that the extra content offered at Game Stop might have me reserving my copy through them which will be a first but that's why I wanted to know if there were any other versions than the regular one.

By the way that armor is way sick also the S8 Shoulder plate lion emblem helm makes this just killer!

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 (one painted and one unpainted). They were made by Gentle Giant Studios using a rapid prototype machine and the actual in-game character model.

I'm thinking that these might make a sweet part of the prize. :)

p0rtalman - not sure if we can include Aussies. :( Section 8 will be distributed by Atari in your neck of the woods - I'll see if they're interested in jumping on board.
