Cannot believe that I never hear anyone talking about Dark Sector on here.

Who else thinks that this third person shooter/action game is going to be killer as well? I saw video previews of it on Gamertv last night, and it looks like it is going to be the real deal. Here are some rather bad ass screens for those interested :

Well, considering the guys working on it at Digital Extremes used to be partners with the Gears of War dev team over at Epic, I would say that they are pretty talented, lol. They just had creative differences, and decided to part ways. 

Anyway, I think it looks and sounds like it will be a killer game, myself. The people at gamer tv seemed pretty impressed with it as well. The head developer was playing a demonstration of the game, and it looked unbelievable graphically, and gameplay wise. It is also going to be more than just a third person shooter, as their will be various combat methods, and character morphing features.

Mark my words....this will be one to watch out for.;)

The whole mutating anti-hero that IS the hero is the element that I think is so cool about it. The whole post apocalyptic, bio warfare setting is also rather compelling.

A brief, but well summed up synopsis of the game:

"A modern-day superhero saga, Dark Sector is a third-person shooter where players assume the role of the protagonist, Hayden Tenno who gains the ability to morph into dramatically different combat forms. Set in the crumbling infrastructure of a fictional Soviet-bloc country in the near future, the game features both single and multi-player action, with players working their way through a world where bio-weapons are no longer science experiments, but a hellish nightmare let loose on an unsuspecting populace."

It just seems like it is going to be a really dark, and different kind of game in general....and that is what we definitley need more of in my opinion.

lol different? come on, man...STALKER is also set in an apocaplytic soviet zone with mutated creatures and what not...i really liked the dark space setting, now it's like a survival horror game...i dunno, it's fine if you like it, but i just find the whole concept uninteresting

By different, I mean a bit different from your modern shooters because of the different combat features that it will have OTHER than simply using GUNS. I guess I should have been more specific on the aspect which I was referring to as being "different."

As far as post apocalyptic setting, ect....hell, I know that has been done a million times already. I simply meant THE GAMEPLAY looked different. Thats all. Anyway, I think it looks killer myself. It has a sort of RE4 third person look to it in some ways, and I loved the hell out of that game.

Also....Stalker does indeed look like a bad ass game. They ran a preview of that last night on Gamer tv as well. Amazing looking game in every respect.

looks like RE4 copycat.Eragon_11

It looks fairly mediocre when you compare it to the rest of the 2007 line-up.

Infernal (another 3rd-person shooter/stealth/special-power game) looks far superior:

Infernal does look great as well, but too bad it is PC only at the time. Anyway, I still think Dark Sector looks very promising, personally. To each their own of course. 

Just one of TOO MANY games I plan on picking up this year for both the PS3, and the 360. It will certainly be a great year for gaming, regardless.

[QUOTE="Eragon_11"]looks like RE4 copycat.project343

Go for it. 

Maybe its because we don't like the new turn the developers made with it. Even I lost interest in it after i saw the change.Cedmln

I can completely understand that some people had formed a conception of this game, and for them to completely alter it, it could make some people lose interest. Devs do this all the time with early builds of games though. As for myself, I actually like the new build better, from what I have seen. Opinions vary of course.

[QUOTE="project343"][QUOTE="Eragon_11"]looks like RE4 copycat.Eragon_11

maybe because eragon was a horrible game 

We don't really hear too much about Dark Sector, it seems.-The-G-Man-

I agree, the main reason for the lack of discussion is the lack of information.

When the game gets closer to release we'll hear a lot of "downgrade" and "no you're wrong it's an upgrade" talk. 

i fail to see what my name has to do with this. Eragon_11

[QUOTE="Eragon_11"]i fail to see what my name has to do with this. project343

but anyway, this is all off topic.  

This game is badazz, better graphics than Gears, you gotta watch the video of it...Resident Evil 4 feel to it..Goku004

Exactly, man. RE4 feel to it....but very different in terms of weapons and gameplay. Glad someone else is seeing what I am seeing in this game as well. It looks killer.;)

Dark Sector lost it once it was changed to mordern from futuristic, in my eyes. That game looks like trash now.
