Quantcast



Do you think someone at Digital Extremes (the folks behind the upcoming Dark Sector) played a little game called Resident Evil 4?

Still, Dark Sector looks pretty good; dark and violent, like Rob Van Clief -- just the way I like it. To think, this game could have taken place in outer space, and do you know what that means? Someone else would have posted this video, because I think outer space is dumb.

That's right, I said it.

PS3 and 360... I think it's looking pretty good! If the semi I just got is any indication...

Damn that looks sic.

That blade thing reminds me of that movie Krull... speaking of which will we be able to shoot fire out of our hands?

the part where that boomerang thing was on fire and it cut into that guy was fucking awesome

Hey, I always thought RE4 was too short; this could defenetly fill the void. When that (I'm just going to call it) 'zombie dog' jumped on him, I totally had flashbacks of great RE days past.

This one wins!

i can stomach a few more RE4 clones, that game was damn near perfect, and this one looks like it may do justice to the formula.

Mizar..my first play thru RE4 was about 18 hours (and no I don't suck at gaming). Is 18 hours really too short? I could understand if it was an RPG but not an action game.

It seems more of the better action games have decided to copy RE4, I mean look at Gears of War.

Isn't this a PS# exclusive?

http://www.darksector.com/ the site only says PS3

So that is one more reason to go the PS3 route than the 360.

....blindside Dark Sector was the first next gen game announced, ever, and it's not an exclusive. So stop.

Looks like a mix between half-life 2 and RE4. I'll be picking it up, the animations look realistic as hell, did you see the enemies roar? Ownage

This game is coming out on the PS3 and Xbox 360. That footage is from the 360 version of the game, I believe.

i love the RE4 camera angle... RE4 used it better than gears and tom clancy games do..

dark sector looks like it is using it pretty well as well..

hopefully this came will be out soon since the vid looks like much progress has been made on the game

This game is going to be so bad ass. Possibly better then RE4?

My bad Snaileb, I must be half asleep still...

I think I confused with a different game and not opening my eyes....

When is this supposed to be released? It looks awsome but it still seems to suffer from slow frate rate in a couple of places. Hopefully that can be fixed before release.

To be honest BlindsideDork, I usually finish RPGs in 20-24 hours of gameplay. 18 hours is not bad for an action game. Sometimes I think people say games are short because the game was so good it left the player wanting more.

I was skeptical of this game when they changed the setting from Sci-fi to what we see now, but it's starting to look really good. I can even see some GoW elements in there.

It's not a PS3 exclusive. I downloaded a trailer of the game from the Marketplace.

I could see that with RE4...I've played thru it at least 4 times (2 Normal and 2 Hard) and I have been meaning to go thru a 5th on Hard with the Chainsaw Controller...if it was 40 hours, I'd die and be in heaven.

the boomerang is possibly going to be the best weapon in a game ever

speaking of RE4, I just shattered that frozen motherfucking lizard demon with a motherfucking rocket launcher. nothing will ever be as good as that game.

That looks totally awesome.

And yeah, that blade looks like the thing from "Krull". That movie scared the shit out of me when I was a kid- I haven seen it in two decades or something.

Am I the only one that thinks this game looks like a Gears of War clone?

I'd much rather have the original iteration of Dark Sector which was of a MMOFPS with UT-like ground combat and wing Commander-like space combat. I never undersrtood why they thought something like that wouldn't have worked.

Is dat sum Unreal 3 enginez?

That gunfire looked sooo much like the Gears gunfire. This game has potential I say!!!

What is up with Framerates on the 360, sometimes it's like playing it on my 9800 with max settings. I would sacrifice a little extra detail/effects for a solid framerate.

This game looks pretty promising. My only qualm is that the guy doesn't look very agile. Is it so much to ask to have a guy that's fast and can jump all ninja like? Imagine how much cooler that disk weapon would be if he could do that. I don't know. Maybe they're just trying to keep it more grounded in realism.

Game looks amazing...but I don't know if I would want to walk everywhere, hope they allow us to run.

I'll admit to being disappointed by the new style of the game. The original trailer was one of my first exposures to "next-gen" gaming, and the Chris Cunningham-esque style sold me on it. Admittedly, the gameplay in the new trailer looks pretty decent, but I really miss the Squarepusher/Bjork video style.

I never got that vibe from the first trailer Riptwo. All I got was generic space setting.

The blood effects are really cool. But i still wish it was a stealth game on a space station like the original trailers were showing. I just loved that setting.

i know its a stealthy game, but during that short trailer, there was no running! come on.

Actually, I thought RE 4 kinda dragged on near to the end. Maybe it was the fact that Ashley couldn't go more than five minutes without being kidnapped/sepparated, or that I didn't find the castle to be particularly interesting.

This was one of the first "next-gen" games I remember seeing information on. It looks to be shaping up pretty nicely.

It's supposed to be released Q3 2007, how come I always have to hear about the good games so far ahead of their release date?
