The gameplay of Dark Sector involved a top secret CIA operative named Hayden Tenno. What separates Tenno from the rest of the special ops is his arm which has been mutated in ways that have given him unique abilities that come into play throughout the game. As Hayden progresses through a former state of the Soviet Union, the powers of his arm will increase as they reveal themselves to him and he learns to utilize them. As one might imagine, the fallout from Soviet nuclear explosions has left the state of Lasria highly toxic. This means lots of mutants running lose causing all kinds of trouble that Hayden will have to deal with as he uncovers his own bizarre mutation. Making matters worse a group of militants has their sights set on controlling these nuclear freaks as a sort of army of their own. Hayden will definitely have his hands full as he fights his way through this action packed adventure...

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.
I actually think this game could be very, very cool. I know it's been in development for awhile, & they basically completely changed the game from it's original concept, But the choices the developers have made look like the right ones. It will basically have the same controls as Gears - & that's a good thing. Look at how many FPS's evolved from Halo's control scheme.
This game is completely off the radar for me
Call me a Sci Fi geek, but, I was really into the original concept, it really looked cool, to the point where it was being called MGS in Space
Oh well, there are so many other titles that I have to spend my time and money on, this wont be to bad of a loss.
peace
but I love the "over the shoulder" camera angle. Started with RE4 (if I remember correctly), Gears followed, Dark Sector looks to have it, and it seems RE5 is gonna use it. Dark Sector is definitely on my wish list.
this is another game i can't wait to play.
