If there is a game that can be defined as next-gen, this is Dark Sector.
In 2004, Dark Sector has been the first game announced for next-generation consoles and, since then, Digital Extremes, the software house involved in the development, has released almost no material.
However, it seems that something is getting out from the Canadian software house. In fact, the last Game Informer issue reports some interesting and exclusive info on Dark Sector, along with 3 new screenshots showing a change in game-concept course.
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.
this looks to be a drastic change from the cryptic sci-fi theme from the original trailer. still, any game with a Res Evil 4/GOW/GRAW type camera view is good for me. oh, and btw, even though this came from an XBox site, it should be marked as PS3 news as well. the game is due out on both systems.
I actually liked the sci-fi feel of the original trailer, so hopefully the game takes a stylistic/atmospheric change during the story. I'd hate to see all that hard work go to waste.
THIS GAMES GOING TO BE SICK AFTER READING ABOUT IT.
this is one of those games that will come out of know where kind of like Riddick and kick some major azz!
My most wanted game for the moment.
