Game Vortex writes: "Dark Sector pulls out all of the visual stops and looks great. Unfortunately, it is so dark that you probably won't be able to enjoy all of the nice details. There's an in-game way to adjust brightness (something more games need, especially if they're going to insist on depicting nothing but dark, dank shades-of-grey environments), though even with some tweaking I had to squint to make out things. Outdoor environments look best; interior environments look good, though they eventually all blend into each other.
The same goes for enemy characters. Except for slight color variations, everyone looks the same. The cool thing about enemies is that you can decapitate or maim them in a variety of ways using your blade. Nearly every body part can be chopped off, giving an added bit of satisfaction each time you take out an enemy. Even better, you can steer the blade to get a precise, and up-close, view of the kill."
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.
fun!!!
