Polygon also reported that the company owes cash to no more than 50 different creditors, including Epic Games, Agora and DJ2 Entertainment with liabilities ranging from $10 to $50 million.

But that’s not all. Southpeak Interactive is also in a legal battle with TimeGate over payments licensing issues that has been on-going since 2009. So chalk up another $7.35 million to Southpeak since TimeGate’s appeal was denied two weeks. If it couldn’t get any worse, the developer may also lose the Section 8 IP.

That’s also not including the class action lawsuit that Sega and Gearbox Software are a part of with Aliens: Colonial Marines. It’s definitely dark days for the FPS developer, and it’ll remain to be seen if it can escape unscathed.

TimeGate Studios have announced that the sequel to their Section 8, Section 8: Prejudice is not available for download digitally for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Games for Windows for the price of $14.99 / 1200 Microsoft Points.

“We’re challenging the notion of just how much quality and value we can pack into a digital download first-person shooter,” said Adel Chaveleh, CEO of TimeGate Studios. “Our target is very simply to be the highest quality, best value digital FPS on the market.  Prejudice is a full-retail-scoped product, so I’m sure our fans will be very happy with our price-point decision.”

Here’s some info on the game:

Prejudice is a full-featured, sci-fi-themed, first-person shooter that delivers a 5-hour, story-driven single-player campaign, robust online multiplayer for up to 32 players across a variety of maps, and a new 4-player co-op game mode, entitled Swarm.  As if that wasn’t enough, all game modes and content will be playable offline, as the $14.99 product also includes full bot support. In addition, TimeGate plans to heavily support the community after launch by expanding Prejudice with a substantial downloadable content plan.

We recently got a chance to interview the development team of Section 8: Prejudice. Read the interview here.

Yep, that’s right, have a look for yourself.

These bugs happen rarely, i remember this one time when you could download from the Xbox Live Marketplace and it led you to the PSN, weird stuff.

With it’s colonies being ravaged by a growing insurrection, Mankind sends out the elite 8th Armored Infantry, A.K.A., Section 8. Section 8 soldiers fall from the sky after being launch out of an orbital dropship, much like the Halo universe’s ODST troops. They are equiped with most state-of-the-art equipment known to man, and they know how to use it. Applying tactics to the situations at hand, Section 8 will scout and secure objectives as they crush the oncoming enemy forces.

Before each action-packed insertion into the match, you will be able to heavily customize your soldier to your liking. You can change the man’s weapons, or just modify his sheild plating and stealth abilities. You are given a set number of points that can be assigned to different passive skills, such as the shield strength and how stealthy you are. This will add a dynamic affect to the battle, as no two men should ever be alike.

Instead of just spawning at a set spot for enemy spawn campers to set up shop, Section 8 troopers insert themselves into the battlefield by means of atmospheric, high-alltitude drops from looming capital ships. Another feature in Section 8 is the kill system. For all of you people who have high Kill/Death ratios and are considered as “One-Hit Pwners”, say goodbye to that dominant power. Section 8 has done away with one hit kills. Although, they did keep balance by replacing one hit kills with another, stranger type of kill. Now, why shoot an enemy when you can just jump on his face? That’s right, Section 8 will feature Mario-esque Jump-On-Enemy’s-Head kills. Whether this will work or not has yet to be proven, but one thing’s for sure. It makes absolutely no freaking sense.

We don’t know at this point if the game will be a success, but if TimeGate’s implementing of previous FPS elements into one single multiplayer experience is playable, we can expect to see success. Stay tuned for more information regarding Section 8, the Tribes-Battlefield offspring.
