Section 8 is getting a sequel, and that's amazing. A follow-up to last year's multiplayer shooter that was actually pretty good in spite of being rough around the edges, Section 8: Prejudice looks like more of the same, albeit with something that might actually threaten to be a story this time.
Check out the trailer above and prepare to be amazed at the concept of Section 8 selling enough to justify a sequel.

Well, I suppose it did have a lot of cool concepts, if the execution was EXTREMELY poor. I'll have to give the original a go sometime if I see it in a bargain bin. This sequel will likely also wait until bargain bin status.
But the story was nonexistent, and the trailer for this one has story/cutscene portions that remind me of the ones from the first game, so that definitely has me worried. Granted, the sinle player in the first game was still better than the single player in UT3, but it wasn't what I look for in a $60 game. I look for a story that matters, actual level design, etc. The first game had a sinle player with large open maps, bot-like characters, and minimalist cutscenes.
Now if this one is a downloadable title right away, i might get it, because it does look really fun.
