Section 8 sequel announced, out early 2011
TimeGate Studios’ multiplayer-focused FPS Section 8 is getting a follow-up; Section 8: Prejudice.
The first game was released for PC and Xbox 360 last fall, which were followed by a download-only release for PlayStation 3 earlier this year. And now, as the all-in-game debut trailer below advertises, more is on the way “early 2011.”
No platforms or other details yet.
LucasArts confirms layoffs
LucasArts has thinned its ranks, the company has confirmed. While not specifying the number, sources of Kotaku say an estimated 60 from development and an additional 25 from external production and QA have been let go.
“LucasArts is reorganizing its teams to better address the needs of the internal studio,” said the company in a statement. “Unfortunately, this means adjusting staffing.”
The studio’s latest game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, reportedly reached ‘gold’ status on Friday. It’s due out later this month on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and iPhone.
The PSP version was recently confirmed to be cancelled.
“LucasArts continues to be committed to creating a first-class internal studio – and to fostering relationships with trusted external partners – in order to deliver quality games that amaze and inspire fans.”
Ghost of Sparta, Warhawk demos for PS Plus subscribers
That per year PlayStation Plus subscription is about to start paying off; an early access demo of Kratos’ latest killing spree, the Ready at Dawn-developed God of War: Ghost of Sparta, will next week be made available to Plus subscribers and Plus subscribers alone.
No word on what to specifically expect but blood and guts all over the floor is our bet.
Next week will also see the release of a full game trial for Warhawk, just in case there’s someone out there is interested in acquiring a 3-year-old multiplayer-only shooter. You never know.
Minerva’s Den of BioShock 2 in motion
We’ve covered the details and the pricing, but it wouldn’t mean as much if there wasn’t a trailer for it, now would it? Embedded below is the video for BioShock 2‘s latest and last piece of DLC, called Minerva’s Den, scheduled to hit Xbox Live and PlayStation Network next week, on August 31st.
It’s all very Eagle Eye/iRobot, but looking old-fashioned and good in true BioShock spirit, isn’t it?

DS In Year On Year Sales Decline, Wii Up 1%
The DS is getting on a bit now and many people have bought one. It’s had a great run and is home to loads of awesome games but now with the 3DS looming on the horizon, the end is near.
This is refelcted in the year-on-year sales which show a decline in sales of 26%. The Wii on the other hand had a 1% increase and while it’s good sales went up 1%, when compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3 at 119% and 76% respectively, it’s not looking too great right now for Nintendo hardware.
Xbox 360 +119%
PlayStation 3 +76%
Wii +1%
DS -26%
PSP -32%
What you need to keep in mind here though is that while there was a small increase in Wii sales, 1% on top of an already large sales number is still impressive and even the 360 and PS3 haven’t caught up with Wii sales even considering 119% and 76% increases, as you can see below:
