Upcoming gory third-person action game Dark Sector will be hitting UK store shelves on Friday April 4, with a demo set to hit XBL and PSN in mid-March, D3Publisher has told VideoGamer.com.
Dark Sector, which looks like a cross between Gears of War and Resident Evil 4, is the first next-gen game from developer Digital Extremes. You play as Hayden Tenno, a super hard CIA operative who gets to chuck a death-bringing glaive around a mysterious island as he gains super powers from a deadly infection.
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.
Great news, i wasnt going to buy this game, maybe a good demo could change my mind.
Sweet. I hope this game turns out to be special. we'll get a taste next month.
i thought it was suppose to be out in Jan, (according to mags anyway) demo should be good, i heard its a lot like resi 4 gameplay wise, which is no bad thing.
FINALLY!
looks pretty good so far, it better have multiplayer though
