Today PSU was contacted by D3Publisher with the announcement that Dark Sector has been pushed back until early 2008.
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.
That kinda sucks, the trailer looked pretty good. Even though the blades look straight from The Chronicles of Riddick.
I am heading down to Santa Monica on Friday to D3Publishers Pre-E3 event to get hands on with Dark Sector. I will be posting my review on PSU.com so be sure to check in with that in the coming weeks!
chronicles of riddick? more like Riddickulous Chronic
Probably a good move.
I keep forgetting about this game because of all the other games coming out. So if its not coming out early it would be better to come out next year so as not to get overlooked. Ironic since it was the first ever shown next gen game. But that was a long long time ago and in a differernt AU for the game itself.
I was really looking forward to this coming out this year....damnit...
