Remember, it was a quite a long time ago, Dark Sector was the first Xbox 360 title ever announced. Back then it was a futuristic action/stealth game with a very interesting graphics style. Well the developers of Digital Extremes definitely changed their idea of the game, like you'll be able to see for yourself with this very nice teaser trailer.
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.
...but I think some people forget that next-gen visuals need to be met by next-gen gameplay. I hope this game has both a plenty.
correct me if im wrong but didn't IGN posted that Dark sector was the fist PS3 title announced? or did they announced it at the same time on both systems?
they took this game to a whole different direction. originally, it was set in an outer-space environment. now it's in a post apocalyptic world. which scene would be better? i don't know, but both scenes are kinda played out.
this game might end up being very fun and great, but c'mon developers, give us something fresh and original.
I think the author got the impression that it was announced for the 360 first because of the E3 2005 trailer showing the games that will be showcased on the Xbox 360.
Anyways, I was wondering where this game went. It looks cool and all, but I'm wondering why the ditched the original concept of the game.
I'm still intersted in this game though.
