A lot of people have already said that Section 8 looks like it has the gameplay and aesthetic of Halo with the technology and art-style of Crysis. Well, if you take a look at the new dev doc story trailer, you can easily see that the game carries a lot more character depth and progressive storytelling than the cardboard Master Chief and the round-about Halo-weapon complex.

One of the cool things about Section 8 is that the game sees players actually dropping from the space carriers down to the mission map. What’s more, though, is that the in-game graphics and cinematic sequenes are actually really, really good. Also, unlike the green one-dimensional war-machine, John-117, Section 8 actually focuses on developing the main character through a series of missions that see how he goes from grunt to commander.

Section 8 may have been in the news more-so for the PS3 fiasco but the game really does have tons of potential. The main thing that concerns me is the game pace and mission variety. But so far TimeGate’s FPS title is looking really impressive.
