Sale para el bazar, 1200 puntos creo recordar.
No me digas... Esta vez tiene un modo historia que no sea un mero tutorial enfocado al online? Lo mismo hasta pillo MS Points
Pues sí, eso parece. Además tiene modo "horda", pero es algo diferente. Vas a cierto punto del mapa, pirateas, matas a los primeros invasores y vas ganando dinero y fortificas la zona comprando torretas de defensa o vehiculos para tu uso, a lo tower defense.
PD: Lo de IGN, marco lo más interesante
The last Section 8 title was received fairly well, but it didn't grab enough of the shooter market to make a lasting impression. People often complained that matches were hard to come by, as well as noting that the general aesthetic was unremarkable, even if it had some really clever mechanics that helped make it a fun arena shooter.
Enter Section 8: Prejudice, developer Timegate's follow up, remade in the Unreal engine and made mass-market friendly by being priced at $14.99 (1200 MS Points). It's largely the same game mechanically, but the visuals are several steps above the last entry in the franchise, it's supposed to have a real single player campaign (read: not a glorified tutorial), and it's going to include a new mode that, when combined into the total package, will hopefully make it an online shooter with legs.
Wait, you never played the original Section 8 and don't remember the mechanics? That's OK, a lot of us didn't. Section 8: Prejudice is an arena shooter, somewhere between the crazy large battlefields of games like Tribes and the slower, smaller scaled fights of Halo. Up to 32 players deploy into the Conquest mode by being dropped from orbit (yes, it's awesome), battling it out to see who can hold onto control points long enough to win the match.
Of course holding points made easier by killing the competition, and do to this Section 8: Prejudice gives you several options. You can use a combination of a jet pack, super-sprint (done by holding down sprint for a span), and your weapons to wreak havoc on the opposition. You choose your load out before you drop, adapting to whatever situation is needed on the ground: engineers to repair, heavy weapons soldiers to attack vehicles, etc.
Killing opponents yields cash, which is used to deploy turrets and supply points on the battlefield so that you can score even more kills. Once a capture point is controlled, you should drop turrets in to secure the position. It adds a lot of strategy to the battlefield, as you try to figure out the best way to set up killing fields, or deny players access to dropping right onto the control points by deploying AA turrets.
Along with turrets, players can deploy additional objects to turn the tide of the battle such as resupply positions and vehicles. Resupply points heal you, give you ammo, and allow you to change their class on a whim. Vehicles offer a more direct route at changing the battlefield dynamic, giving players access to things like tanks, powered suits, and hover bikes. From what I've played so far all these items seem well-balanced, with plenty of counters available to the teams to take them out. Still, all the deployable choices offer some really cool strategic options to the teams, and it's awesome watching them be delivered from the sky.
Competitive multiplayer is the biggest part of Section 8: Prejudice, but it also includes a single player campaign and a cooperative multiplayer mode called Swarm. I've been told that the campaign tells a legitimate story, and is much more well-realized than the previous Section 8's. It should last around five hours, and isn't being set up as the reason to buy the title, but just an added bonus to a multiplayer game that's already priced competitively.
Increasingly more shooters are including their version of Gears of War's "horde mode," and Section 8: Prejudice is no exception. Section 8 calls this mode Swarm, and sets four players out in an effort to hold a control point for fifteen minutes. As time passes the constant waves of enemies become tougher and tougher, challenging players to effectively use a combination of their own prowess and strategic deployable placement to win. In my experience it was a fun cooperative option, and a good change of pace from the intense 32 player battles of Conquest mode.
Truth be told, I went into my session with Section 8 expecting to be bored. The original's generic, lackluster visuals turned me off from the start, and it seemed like just another shooter being crowded into an already busy year for the genre. Section 8: Prejudice has changed my opinion of the franchise, though, proving to me that it strikes an itch that few shooters do. It's chaotic, relatively fast-paced, and it combines vehicles and turrets into a fun shooter/tower defense hybrid. Hopefully it sells well at its low price point, because I'm looking to play it with a bunch of folks when it releases in the first part of 2011.
En resumen, gráficamente está un paso por delante del Section 8 original, esta vez la campaña está trabajada y no está de relleno, dura 5 horas (lo normal en un FPS), el modo horda son partidas de 15 minutos para 4 jugadores en cooperativo, y esperaba que Prejudice fuera un aburrimiento después de Section 8, pero que finalmente le ha gustado, cambiando su opinión sobre la franquicia.
Lo que más me llama la atención es que han nivelado el efecto de las armas (o eso se ve en los vídeos) y que de tener cuatro vehículos mal puestos han pasado a meterle las motos voladoras al mas puro estilo Unreal, tanques a lo Halo, ahora los mechas realmente hacen pupa, etc.
