Gamedaily writes: Dark Sector has come a long way since we last saw it back at E3 2007. Digital Extremes has since polished the game's graphic engine for a smooth thirty frames a second and put numerous effects to use. For instance, if an enemy throws a gas grenade at him, the screen temporary warps, giving off the sense that he's suffering from impaired vision. The levels themselves are huge, with numerous emptied buildings, ruins from a once-tranquil paradise, and several other locales to take on enemy soldiers. The game does occasionally stutter, but Digital still has a little time to do cleanup. The final game should look very cool.
Digital Extremes has done excellent work making Dark Sector into beating our expectations. The combination of Glaive throwing and gunplay is very fulfilling and the game looks better each time we see it. The multiplayer modes hold considerable value as well, especially with the promise of becoming "infected."
Chris Needham writes: "With the launch of both the PS4 and the Xbox One now a fading memory, the current generation of gaming consoles has well and truly established itself, with games such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Batman: Arkham Knight and, of course, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, all justifiably taking the limelight. Here at Power Up Gaming, however, we’re not so keen to let go of the past. Originally starting out our coverage as primarily a retro games outlet, we take great pleasure in revelling in the titles of yesteryear."
Bulletstorm, Folklore, and 3D Dot Heroes are just a few of the great hidden gems on PS3
"ZL: Before we knew of the Xbox 360, or anything concrete about the PlayStation 3, we had heard the name Dark Sector. This was a time when what would become the Wii was known only as the mysterious “Revolution.” The 7th Generation of video game consoles hadn’t even begun and we already received a taste of what was on the horizon with a video released by Digital Extremes."
Great article. Great game. Man I wish they'd make a sequel or just re release it or something.
OPM: Digital Extremes’ game director Steve Sinclair has, “lifted the kimono” (his words) on the history behind Dark Sector and how publishing pressure took the game away from its original vision. A vision that the set to return with the free-to-play Warframe on PS4.
That's interesting, They approached Sony with ideas several times, since they are independent, I wished Sony would have published one of their ideas as an exclusive! I loved Dark Sector, even the original concept of the game! Going to see about Warframe at launch.
Awesome. Very interested in this one, I think it's a possible sleeper.
to be FRESH!
LOL I still find it hilarious that the ps3 version was almost canned. What a piss poor console.
