Section 8: Prejudice launches next week on Xbox Live Arcade and on PC on May 4th. The one thing thats been touted since the game's announcement has been just how much content is in the package for its $15 price tag. With a single player campaign, online versus mode, and four player co-op mode - its hard to disagree. Co-Optimus has been hands on with the title numerous times, including the final XBLA copy, and we think folks are going to be pleasantly surprised.
Section 8: Prejudice has adopted an ambitious pricing and distribution strategy. The preceding title, Section 8, was a full priced retail game that received postitive reviews and little player support. Producer/developer TimeGate Studios decided to make the sequel more competitive by releasing it as a downloadable title and pricing it at $14.99, or 1200 Microsoft Points. The studio claims Section 8: Prejudice will be a fully-featured game.
Section 8: Prejudice is trying to break the retail mold. Developer TimeGate Studios are skirting a physical retail version of the game altogether. This new title is supposed to have all the content of a "normal" $60 dollar game, but Section 8: Prejudice will be released for 15 bucks on the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC. If you haven't been paying attention, $15 is the normal price point of DLC for two of the biggest titles in the industry. And this DLC customarily contains only a handful of maps.
I know what you’re thinking: “didn’t you guys just preview Section 8: Prejudice last month?” Why yes, yes we did. However, Nick hadn’t played the original for a solid comparison preview. The PAX East preview of Section 8 Prejudice is for both the experienced Section 8 players, and the people who just want to get into a game that offers some pretty hardcore strategy and shooter elements.
TimeGate Studios, the makers of Section 8: Prejudice, has a sweet contest available for PAX East 2011 attendees. A 250 GB Xbox 360, four controllers and headsets, 42" LG flat screen HDTV, and a copy of the game itself will go to one lucky winner. To participate, all you have to do is follow these easy steps:
Last month, with a little help from Eurogamer.net, we detailed the new 4 player co-op "Swarm Mode" for Section 8: Prejudice, the sequel to the drop-trooper-shooter, "Section 7: Pride". What's that? I am being told that the first game was simply titled: Section 8. That's a shame. The next logical step would have been of course, "Section 9: And Zombies." But that's neither here nor there.
It wasn't all that long ago that I checked out a wonderful shooter title called Section 8 which was a lot of fun, but did not have a co-op mode at the time. It's nice to see that the developers thought the same thing I did - this game needs buddies. The sequel Section 8: Prejudice will have its own 4 player co-op mode to allow players to bring along a few friends. The developer blog has recently unveiled the "Swarm Mode" co-op mode.
