Round-Up: IGN, G4 at E3, TimeGate's Section 8

Today's round-up includes information on which cable channel will be covering the E3 Expo in detail, as well as a change of genre for developer TimeGate Studios, plus latest product news and industry jobs. - G4, the video game cable channel, and game website IGN.com are pooling their resources to broadcast from the show floor of this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo on a variety of programs. Each day of the convention will feature a live broadcast from the joint crews of Attack of the Show! and X-Play, in a two-hour show called E3 '05 Live. Individual programs will be a Tuesday show featuring round-ups of the various pre-E3 conferences, as well as a Wednesday broadcast of highlights from the show floor. Furthermore, G4 will make frequent news updates during and between its regularly scheduled programming throughout the show. - TimeGate Studios, the developers of Axis & Allies, have announced their next project: Section 8, a first-person shooter using the Unreal Engine 3. The game will be a hybrid of the FPS genre with the studio's more well-known strength, strategy games. Unusually, the studio is asking for help from several quarters, including a few nontraditional ones: the team put out the call on their website for "established studios, independent contractors, and the Unreal community to facilitate the development of the project. We are seeking experienced level designers, art production studios, and even mod teams to collaborate with on the project." - Also updated today: product news involving the latest update to the RealityEngine 3D engine and TurboSquid's release of the Flight Studio 1.5 converter, as well as newly updated jobs from companies including Blue Fang Games, Bungie, Floodgate Entertainment, Microsoft Game Studios, Planet Moon Studios, Playfirst, Retro Studios, Sony Pictures Imageworks, THQ Studio Australia and zed8.
