TimeGate Announce Section 8 Is Coming To The Playstation 3 This Spring Via The PSN
TimeGate have announced that Section 8, which had previously only been available on the Xbox 360 and PC, is now coming to the PS3. the game is coming to the PS3 this spring and it will be a digital release on the PSN.
TimeGate have also announced that the PS3 version will have 3 exclusive maps, not found on any other release, as well as other improvements over previous versions. The game will come with a Single Player campaign, a instant action mode, and a multiplayer mode where up to 32 players can be fighting on a single map.
Press Release
SUGAR LAND, Texas --(Business Wire)-- 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 game’s developer, Avalanche Software, is working in close collaboration with filmmakers at Pixar to create an authentic Toy Story experience that inspires imagination and celebrates the joy of play.
“Toy Story 3: The Video Game addresses a fact understood by every kid: imagination is what truly brings toys to life,” said John Blackburn, vice president and general manager of Avalanche Software. “That’s really what a toy box is about. We remember that kind of play from our own childhood, and it’s where we began as game designers. With this title, we want to encourage and reward creativity in others.”

About Disney Pixar’s Toy Story Movie Franchise
The creators of the beloved Toy Story films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of our favorite gang of toy characters in Toy Story 3.

Directed by Lee Unkrich (co-director of Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo), Toy Story 3 is a comical new adventure in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D that lands the toys in a room full untamed tots who can’t wait to get their sticky little fingers on these “new” toys. It’s pandemonium as they try to stay together, ensuring “no toy gets left behind.” Meanwhile, Barbie comes face to plastic face with Ken (yes, that Ken). Pixar veteran Darla K. Anderson (Cars, Monsters, Inc.) produces, while Michael Arndt, Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of Little Miss Sunshine, brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities.
