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.

Honestly, that "blade" is a rip-off from Predator. Cool, not original, but it seems like people talk about it as if it were something new. The aiming for that thing sucks at this point, so if you want to throw a disc play Alien Vs. Predator 2 which is still a great game anyways.


I guess they all watched "Krull the Conquerer."

Also, it's called a Glaive, although that used to mean something entirely different. Since the early 80's this style of weapon has had a name, and no it's not original in predator either.
Starting around the 1980's the word began to describe a fourth type of weapon: a whirling projectile blade similar in structure to a shuriken but much larger and cast like a chakram. This fictional weapon is usually portrayed as being able to return to its wielder, much like a boomerang. "Glaives" of this type have shown up in several films and other aspects of fantasy fiction, most notably the film Krull in which the weapon had five bladed arms. A Glaive of this type can also be seen in the Blade Trilogy, as a two-bladed weapon which folds for easy concealment.
Classically it described some sort of pole arm/sword--there's where the fantasy genre stole it from, atleast.

It just looks clunky and slow as lebato said. There never seems to be much going on apart from enemies standing still shooting. Im not saying I wont give it a chance I just cant understand how sath gets so excited lol.

The graphics engine is easly one of the most impressive I have seen for next gen... however, the game itself doesn't do anything for me.

Kind of weird that as soon as a weapon in a game is the main weapon from a mvie people complain about in DS. But I don't see others complain about saying why the whip is in Castlevania while Catwoman had it too, to say it is a rip off.

Every weapon in any game can be said it is a rip off something else, but for some weird reason, which I don't even want to know, all the complaints are at DS.

Obviously there are people that don't like slow horror survival games. I say if you like RE games Dark Sector is right up in your ally.

Although I am the biggest fan of DS, I am honest fan, which I agree with some of the issues as the running needs to be somewhat smoother, the framerate should be gone and they need to fix the Glave sensitivity.

All in all that video is OLD!
That is the first gameplay footage they showed of the new DS, not the new one that is up on IGN right now.

You can basically see it by even checking the aim crosshair for the Glave that it changed from a dot to a good circle crosshair...etc.

Weird that people don't say that the blade from Krull is ripping off the Predators, or vice versa.

TheBeagle, what does that even mean? You can't understand why I get excited of a good game?

Then I don't understand why you hate these kind of good games.
So if you don't like the game at all, that doesn't mean other gamers shouldn't like it as well. I am not as picky in games to go in every detail of the issues of the game and what not like most people (including you). I always play games with open minded and trying to have fun when playing them.

I could mention tons of issues about Gears, Halo, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect...etc. but it comes to hype. When people hype a game too much they get blinded...it's a fact.

There seems to be some issues they need to work out with the blade like I stated before, but honestly, its a small gripe now. Everything else looked awesome. Of course the enemies had retarded AI, but that was probably supposed to be like that so he could show off the game, however, didn't stop him from dying from that Mauler :P

Still I didn't like how it took him like 3 throws sometimes to kill an enemy that was right in front of him with the blade. Either 2 things, the blade physics and controls still need work, or 2, the guy just sucks ass :)

But then again, the game is coming out in Fall 07, so no worries. Thats well enough time to iron out all the kinks
Kenshin sometimes I wonder if you are using your mind while typing =P.

Obviously people are forgetting the phrase...Early built, work in progress, still in development.

Even I can say that Crysis would look shit in the state as that gameplay, because every game that being made is like that in early stages, but when the time goes buy they fix those things.

The AI was there yes, but it wasn't exactly in the challenging mode, because obviously he didn't want to die infront of the people in the room, which he did.
And Josh Adams (think thats his name) did not even play that good, one example could be pointed out as why the hell he was running with the Glave in the open streets running towards the enemy, when he had the firearm in his holster.

I think that they should let someone (me hehe) that really knows and can play DS to show it as a demo to people about how tactical it can be made by using cover, throwing the Glave, shooting...etc.

It's kind of most of the games were the developers suck at their own game and get owned by other people who has it.

Oh really? Does it matter anyways? It's not cool at all. Play AvP2 and see for yourself. In that game you can cut people's arms off and they'll run around like crazy bleeding like.......crazy, and if you cut their head........well, they die. In the footage for Dark Sector, one guy gets his head cut off but that's all, where' the blood? It looked pretty lame, not to mention I'm a Predator fan :D

And again, too damn slow and the camera is problem.
Picky and blind, I say! Picky and blind.

Have you even seen the new footage for DS? IT most definitely comes out blood as hell, think of Gears of War.

http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/674/674091/vids...

Besides the Glave that the Predator's have looks shit compared to the one Hayden has.
Besides if you are a Predator fan, you should take it as a good sign that DS has it as well, meaning influence of that movie

-i watched the video again for my 5th time, and it obviously shows that Josh does not explain the game very well and he totally suck at this game. I kept using Glave for every soldier and Mauler there was, and didn't even use the gun or the assault rifle.

Kind of a shame that I can't direct record TV to PC, because if I could and there would be a demo I would most definitely show a much better side of this game.

I am glad you liked it man, makes me happy that it is on your top 3.
A game that makes it after Blue Dragon or Halo 3 means a lot, and I thought it would be Assassins Creed or Mass Effect, but no DS.

Like you said, every early built of the game have issues. Shit, even Crysis has tons of issues, even Mass Effect has it...etc. but I dont see why nobody is picking it on them.

Anyway, I feel sorry for anyone that isn't gonna pick this game up, because you guys are really gonna miss something great.

I will say this...after the game is out and you see great reviews and such, I will accept your guys apologize.

Visually it looks great. It definitely needs work in terms of pacing but this was the first level so that can be forgiven for now.

One thing I didn't understand was that the membrane was only destroyable by fire right? Yet the guy said that your blade and arm were made of the same stuff which is why it wouldn't penetrate, therefore shouldn't your arm and blade melt when they are in contact with fire?

It was on level 4, and you got the Glave at that point.

And the whole fire and metallic arm melting and stuff, well its like Wolverines metal stuff that is attached to his skeletons in his body. The metal is very strong and can't be destroyed.

I think the Glave and the arm is the same thing, but I guess that the arm ad the Glave doesnt use the same element attraction. Now that you mention it, I am kind of confused of how it works like that.

If you be cool if you could add fire to the Glave and then when it returns back you can put the Glave back and then set your arm on fire and go for powerful melee attack, think about God Hand, but not that unrealistic.

The game changed some bit from that video, and the people who says they want to see more for interest have to wait for more updated video of the game.

But as for me, I am loving it and don't want to think about EVERY detail in the game, because it ruins the fun, just like any other game out there.

Then it is not a game for you. How come everybody is saying MAss Effect is gonna be incredible when all we have seen is couple of screenshots and walkthroughs.

I am not trying to offend you or anything, but what you are saying doesn't seem like you thought this through before making comments to me.

I have always gotten a very good instinct about games that I really look forward to the games I want to buy, and when they come out I never get disappointed, if I get it is just small details that can easily be ignored to enjoy the game.

Besides that Hayden receives a lot of other abilities to evolve the combat more, it's not an action/RPG so don't expect the master evolution or anything, but makes it better and fun, that's what games are suppose to be., fun.

I am sure that even when the game comes out with more gameplay...and so, I still think you won't think it's good. Thats why it's called one persons opinion.

Yeah it is my opinion which I stated in my last post. Thats actually a good point with ME. I think with mass effect though, people are going on the quality of the games the developers have released in the past. Now that brings me to a question. What other games have the dark sector devs made ?

Yeah I agree that they did KOTOR, Jade Empire so they know what to expect...but even the greatest ones can fall down from their throne. Although we know it is NOT gonna be BioWare =).

Well DE made Pariah, but there is two places, which I always mix up. Let's say the team that did Pariah is not doing Dark Sector. They did the Unreal games as well.

Well although I say we should leave it, I am gonna leave by saying you can't say Dark Sector is gonna be bad if you thought Pariah is just because it's the same company while it's a different team.

I haven't even played Pariah, so I can't say anything about.

Well sure at least give it a try you know, you might like it (hopefully) if not then well, at least you tried, right.

But as for me and Dark Sector, this is on top.

Im not saying that just cause Pariah was bad that dark sector is gonna be bad. We got into a discussion of biowares past projects and why that makes people excited about mass effect. So I find out these guys made Pariah. It doesnt make it any easier to be excited. Thats all. Im not thinkin oh crap its definatly gonna be awful. Il certainly keep my eye on dark sector (its hard not to around here ;p ) but all im saying is right now its not making me horny.

In my eyes, there is alway hope for Digital Extremes. These were the guys that back when they were with Epic were responsible for the original Unreal Engine, partially responsible for the second Unreal Engine and responsible for the first couple of games in the Unreal series, before they finally split with the company.

They've got great people with great talent working at Digital Extremes, it just seems that in their last couple of projects, they lost focus. Were they ever able to regain that focus, they could very well churn out some of the best games around. Everytime I see a new DE game on the horizon, I cross my fingers that this game will mark their return to form. The way I see it, it is only a matter of time anyway. And hopefully, DarkSector will be that game.
