Developed by Digital Extremes, Dark Sector is one title that has been turning heads since it was announced a while back. The game's nice looking aesthetic has only been trumped in discussion by the mystery surrounding its development. The title has previously been very much under wraps, undergoing delays and slowly creeping out in terms of new info.However, at a recent press event held by D3Publisher (the publishing house behind the game), not only was the game on display, but a playable build also was available for Gamezone to get their hands on and take the game out for a test drive.
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.
they decided to push this title back to 08', there is just too much stuff coming out this fall and i wouldnt wanna miss this game
Hopefully they find more creative uses for its amazing main weapon more than just throwing and cutting.
