Dark Sector launch trailer: Heroes get unleashed, apparently

Jim, you are worrying too much, lad (opinion respected mind u).

This game looked like it had potential and was gonna be a bit hit and miss, with control issues and such. The best thing about it is that the developers took feedback from previous displays of the game and have held it back to iron out those problems. That's what you want, (are you lisetening Army of Two developers??)

Right now, Dark Sector is my next 360 purchase. It tickles my RE4 fancy, until RE5 turns up, and looks like a nice alternative to all the fps games out there. If the story is good then that's a bonus too.

Hey, I'm loving that guyveresque enemy Hayden has to fight, that's looking like major fun. Bring it on.

this game has already been reviewed by gameplayer, official xbox magazine uk and games(tm) - 70's out of 100 across the board. a supposedly "generic" shooter.

sigh...i was looking forward to this on too:(

Meh. Not that I've been following the game very closely, but I am turned off by the game's "generically dark" aesthetic. I certainly don't want to single the game out: Gears of War suffers from the same problem, imo.

But Gears had solid gameplay, and thats what it really boils down to. Dark Sector...well, I am reminded of a video of the game I saw a while back which made a big deal of the protagonist's ability to "pick up" elemental effects with his glaive (e.g. fire, electricity, etc.). If you can seriously get excited over this sort of thing, I truly envy you.

Don't get me wrong: I'm sure the game will turn out just fine. I'm just not sure it will do much more than that.

I have the same feelings about this as you Jim. I've been waiting forever too, but all the reviews are worse than Turok. MF TUROK! How can this be?!

Just cause you copy Gears of War, which copies Resident Evil 4, doesn't mean it will be good.

Turok is a decent game.

"Okay, we gotta make a trailer, we're about to release and nobody cares about our game"

"Sure, but what are we going to say about the game? We've already made countless videos with our developers, and everyone who knows about our game, knows everything except how it ends"

"Don't know, don't care, just make it sound epic, like you're presenting a movie or some shit in a theatrical trailer"

"Sure thing."

EVERY PURPOSE HAS A PRICE!

HEROES AREN'T BORN! THEY'RE UNLEASHED!

"How does that sound Bob? Took me a full five minutes to write it"

"Awesome. Run it".

Seriously, I didn't know purpose had prices and that heroes are unleashed.

andturoksucks

Buying because it's banned for sale in Australia..it'll make playing it great even if it sucks.

This does look cool but I will be renting it to save monies and not be pissed at spending $60.

park vendor > dark sector

Surf beat me to it... :(

At 0:56 it looks like he's fighting The Guyver... lol

Dude, I don't know if you've played Amry of Two, but it still has flaws in its gameplay, while being a good game. Yes, I'm aware they held it back longer, but maybe it needed a little more time. I do understand the pressure for deadlines and such by EA suits. I don't know maybe they'll iron out the flaws later via an update.

To Timmey etc, Cliffy B has stated that he's a big RE fan and he was influenced by RE4 when creating Gears of War, hence the 3rd person perspective and moody washed out look, etc. Note the word 'influenced' I used there and try to remember it. You should be careful how you use the copy word these days.

As for the Guyver reference I made, please wiki or youtube the Guyver if you aren't sure what it is, and then watch the trailer again. You'll soon see what I mean.

It looked like shit in previous trailers, but man oh man this preview makes it look better.

That was another mighty impressive trailer to be honest! I think I'll give it a try as a rental first though...

I've been wondering if this game will suck or not forever now. I'm hoping it sucks though, I can't afford another game.
