Dark Sector developer walk through commentary videos.
Parts 1-3
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.
This game looks bad @ss !
Had very low hopes for this game, but it's looking pretty decent. They aped the hell out of RE4 though.
I really want this game, it mixes GEARS OF WAR, ZELDA, RESIDENT EVIL, AND BIOSHOCK game elements all in one game. I have a feeling this game is going to be a sleeper hit next year. The reason why I want it is because there's nothing like it on the PS3, I just hope that I have the money for it when it comes out.
I didn't have high hopes for this game and still don't think it's all that amazing. It does look decent enough.
The shooting mechanics actually look pretty good, but then he gets the Glaive and all just falls apart. It's supposed to be the interesting 'hook' of this game but it actually takes away of the pacing with the lame puzzles and slow-mo kills. It just doesn't seem all that fun or satisfying as the shooting mechanics, and that isn't a good sign obviously. Animations are too clunky, especially of the enemies and the enviroments are as generic as they come.
Still, the shooting mechanics do look solid and maybe some of the puzzle solving elements and general use of the glaive will get more interesting later on. Boss fights could be pretty interesting as well.
The game doesn't look bad by all means, but this day and age it will have to offer a bit more to stand out among the slew of other generic shooters.
Well Gamingisfornerds... i disagree wholeheartedly, both with your assesment and your rather generalised nick. I think this game has very good pedigree and should be a bit of a Dark Horse :) Other than that i am just miffed that its on the x360 as a show piece cos it seems that yet agaun the PS3 will just get a port and not a primary base title.
It will probably be ok but judging by AC's standards i hope its a decent port!
Whatever happens I'll just get the better version
