Koch Media sent us the review disc of Dark Sector (which will be available in europe at the end of the week), and here are the ten first minutes of the game, before our Gamersyde Diaries which is coming next. The video covers the full introduction chapter, entirely in black and white as you'll see.

Guess this is what things can look like when a dev builds their own engine for a game.

The engine isn't that awesome. There isn't any sort of dynamic shadowing. But even "only good" next-gen technology combinedwith great design gives fantastic results.;0 Can't wait for this, it feels a bit like re4 ripoff, but it's a good thing.:)

I noticed some framrate, or was it my PC? =P

Something else I noticed was the sound of the glaive when Hayden throws it away, it sounds like a scream of a monster. The last video it sounded like a metal blade going off.
All these things well be fixed.

The boss was big, which I did not know they would be big. I thought the bosses would be those thin looking creatures with long nails. Bigger means better for games like this.

Visually it looks stunning as always.
The chopper looks interesting though. Lasria is a "dead" city, so how the hell did the chopper come in the game?
I hope something big is going on in the game.

It has finishing moves in the game which is cool, makes you be more careful if you want to go for the melee.

All this looks great, but knowing this wont come out during Fall time, they will fix, polish, add and remove stuff until the final product is released.

GDC is like March 7 or something, and I bet that Digitial Extremes will appear on GDC with more Dark Sector, which I just can't wait for.

360 demo!?

PS. As a soundtrack nerd as I am, the background music was great. Now I do not know if it was something IGN added (like always) or it was really from the game. I sure as hell hope it was from the game, sounded awesome.

A lot more info

The disc also functions as a light source and will illuminate the area in front of you when exploring some of Dark Sector's shadowy areas. GI witnessed the disc being thrown down a dark hallway as light illuminated down the path and back, showing you a "little bit" of what's in front of you. As a bonus, technocytes shun the light and run from it. If you member Frodo's sword in The Lord of the Rings, then you get the overall picture.
Different action: Mounted Turrets to driving vehicles and other deviations from the normal action-shooter.
You'll encounter huge walking tanks that take a lot of damage before going down, however if you find the operator of the machines who will be located nearby, you can take them out and save yourself a very brutal fight.
Enemies become resources. One human type called a Mauler carries a tank on their back filled with inferon gas, which affects technocytes. Getting hit with the gas will cause your screen to distort and warp, making it hard to see the Mauler rush in with melee attacks. But if you hit an unsusupecting Mauler from behind, it will make the tank rupture, kill the Mauler and coat your disc with liquid inferon, which makes it extra deadly on technocytes. However, if you're hitting a tecnocyte, blood containing the virus is coated on your disc, throw the disc at humans and they'll go mad as they're infected, beginning the painful transformation into technocytes and start attacking their allies.
Lasria isn't just populated with bloodthirsty monsters. You'll encounter survivors and run this risk of saving them or not. If you choose to save them though, you will be rewarded. Each survivor that you help will give you a small memento that identifies them, like a medal or other personal object. These mementos are the keys to winning the assistance of the Lasrian underground, a group of resistance fighters trying their best to fend off both the Russian occupying force and the inhuman technocyte menace. By showing these mementos to members of the underground, they will know that you saved their friends and offer you new weapons or upgrades. However, upgrades aren't simply stat boosters, you will actually have to improve it yourself in an interactive minigame.
I like the idea of "survivors"in this game about if you want to safe them or not and you get medals and information about that certain person and you gain respect to the "survivors" underground.
I think that is how couple of the achievements are gonna work. Oh man I have never focused on collection achievements on a 360 game before except Gears of War with its COG tags. But I will go all the way for Dark Sector, every achievement there is, is gonna be unlocked.

This is most definitely on my #1 list as Mass Effect.

my only gripe is that in the video it looks like it plays too slow, or maybe its suppose to be like stealthy? Iono, just that one part where he calmly walked up to the guy, the guy started shooting, more calmness, draw back that blade looking boomerang, slice and dice, and calmly walk on. Now if its suppose to be like that, then nevermind, but I just had it in my mind that this was suppose to be kind of fast-paced, well not fast-paced, just faster than that. Then again, I don't know much on the game, so it could just be my own fault. I'm sure Sath will fill me in :P

graphics and the effects look top notch, though :)

Thanks alot, Sath. That does make it more clearer, sounds pretty wicked.

Still, does it have a strong stealth factor? I didn't really see that in the videos, but the way he moves, it makes it seem like it would.

There is NO stealth what so ever, at least not what you are thinking. You could flank and go into cover on walls to wait the enemy to walk away and then walk up to him and do a finishing move, but stealth as Splinter Cell or something, no.

Theres only 3. Three bosses, three different powers you gain after you defeat them.
One of them is a shield, if I remember right.

Have no idea. If Digital Extremes show up they will be showing obviously DS, so more at DS, and I am sure others will have up more detailed previews and gameplays and screens...etc.

Heres me, hoping Mass Effect and Dark Sector on GDC 2007.

Looks good, very cool..!

It's very slow-paced though, I mean, it's: walk a bit, then fight some monster, walk another bit, fight some monster etc...

But, this can work very good if the monsters are interesting enough and act all crazy like that one creature that hops and jumps around like a monkey.

If you face the same creatures over and over it's going to get boring pretty quickly.
Unless there's more to it, like RPG/exploration kind of stuff...
