Everything you need to know about Dark Sector in an easy-to-read listicle format. PS3 vs. Xbox 360, bosses, Glaive combat, infected powers, and multiplayer modes revealed.
The first level of Dark Sector is entirely in black and white. The infected are being transported to a small island off the coast of Lasria for containment, and Hayden is dropped on the fictional Alcatraz to eliminate an internal informant who has been compromised by the virus.
Dark Sector is coming out for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2008. GamePro noticed little difference between the two versions until inputs were switched back and forth on the television to reveal slightly muddier textures on the PS3 version. Other than that the framerates were silky smooth on both.
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 from what ive seen i dont think this visually that far behind gears. i think they've done another good job with epic's fantasic engine. All the info's got me quite excited about this.
oh and lets try not to cum in our pants over "slightly muddier textures on the PS3 version".
this games got no attention so dont act like this is something special all of a sudden.
cheers TNS nice post.
than i think? It must be awesome! I loved the Game from beginning! :D
D3 is great! <3
muddied graphics? blah they can fix that no problem :D but with the way that Gamepro has been throwing around super great reviews like they are going outta style....they are kinda losing some cred with me. but hey, this game has me intrigued :D
Gamespot. I think I will read about games from another source.
well if you don't like the muddiness just wait for RE5
