Dark Sector teaser and images

Dark Sector teaser and images

Remember, it was a quite a long time ago, Dark Sector was the first Xbox 360 title ever announced. Back then it was a futuristic action/stealth game with a very interesting graphics style. Well the developers of Digital Extremes definitely changed their idea of the game, like you'll be able to see for yourself with this very nice teaser trailer. As far as I can tell, this is all realtime.
Update: Added 8 images.

Yes I really LOVE this game, because this is how I would make a game look if I had the chance to describe to a designer for a game. The suit will not be in this game. By the way the old trailer the one from 2005 was just a tech demo and it wasent exactly ment to be a game, but DE got interviewed by IGN and they described, but there was no actual official confirmation that they were going to have that design, people and game sites thought it was. It will be stealth game but not as Splinter Cell or MGS, its more fast paced (hide, run and kill) from every direction.
The game will also have "play with the envoirment". That "Krull"-projectile is called "MAg Disc" is gonna be your primary second weapon as weapon of choice.

Xion, it is real-time. I have around 10 screenshot that havent been seen to the public in great quality (not 720p damn) which shows you more of the camera angle of how you take cover, shoot and even throw the Mag Disc. DE should be flattered that people are calling it CGI, because that is how the game should be. So good to look like CGI, thats next-gen.

I am gonna try to find that thread I started like last month with those pictures, you guys gonna like it. It is very close to Resident Evil 4 with a little bit further into the future.

"As seems to be the latest fashion at E3 this year, the game has evolved into an over the shoulder action title (think Resident Evil 5, or Gears of War) that has you experimenting with a variety of weapons, as well as the slowly developing weirdness associated with your new metal appendage. A Krull-like projectile weapon referred to as the "mag disc" by the Digital Extremes guys is the first thing you discover, and from what we saw during our brief demo this translates into "fun with physics." Throw your metal boomerang at enemies to dismember them, break stuff in the environment, or even attach explosives to it, or throw it at items and use it to grab things from a distance. It's the all-purpose super-weapon of choice, and when used in combination with more traditional weaponry has some interesting potential."

"The story for the game is really starting to kick ass as well. I like Master Chief, and I like the testosterone pumped look of (Gears of War’s) Marcus Fenix, but I prefer a story arc and personality for the main character that is a little deeper. It’s pretty clear that character development is how television is consistently whopping Hollywood these days, and in a 15-hour game we have the same opportunity. Hayden Tenno is going through so many physical and personal changes through this story that I think we will be able to engage players’ minds as well as their adrenal glands."

Xion this is real-time, and I am not gonna be surprised if you think its not, but it is. If Gears can look as good as it is now, then why wouldn't this be realtime.

well i just watched the teaser and it's obviously real-time..dont really see why anyone would have a problem telling otherwise, but the game looks pretty sweet and im gonna have to keep an eye out for this one!! ^_^

dont worry Sath, i know what is and isnt real-time, and that is 100% in-game graphics , and it looks frickin awesome too ^_^i like how they are like stalkin him and he throws the boomerang thing lol, bet he cut off the dog's head!!
Commented on 2006-11-22 19:49:38
hehe Xion, I am glad. I actually dont care if alot of people dont like this game or not, as long as I get it, I am okay with it.
And yeah, I hope you can cut off the dogs head with the Mag Disc.
There is 3 things I dont like about DS right now, dont be shocked guys hehe.

1. They have to change the hair style to more shorter hair, kind of like couple of inches long. And then change the face to more of a bad ass look. More like if the guy had scars on his face, looked like he really have been into some tough breaks.

2. I wish they would have taken the place to a made up place like RE with Raccoon City or Silent Hill.

3. The soldiers outfit I hope get more high-tech than those three soldiers in the teaser.
Although what the hell was those two "metallic animals"? The material on their body looked like Haydens arm, so i think those two will be Haydens more advanced enemies further in the game which have more of them coming than regular soldiers with dogs.

These three things are the only thing that I would see change, but other than that I dont care, the game looks to be awesome. Though i am hoping for a Collectors Edition or something, because I want to know why they changed the 2005 concept to this and how, but I dont think this game is gonna be that big for CE version, more like a sleeper hit.

Because its like being a fan of a game that I like the look of it, its called anticipation. A lot of people didnt play Gears, Halo 3, Fable 2, Mass Effect...and look how that turned out. And what the heck does "not knowing what it is"? I know alot of things about it that others dont know, so thats always a big headstart for me to say I like it a lot.

By the way guys who actually cares about this game...here is the original Hayden Tenno from 2005 and damn Digital Extremes for not sticking with this face and hair style, damn them!!!

dude this isnt halo3. chill out. if its kind of like RE or silent hill, i may keep my eye on it, but this game is not what it once was thats for sure.

just to clarify :)

CGI applies to ALL graphics which are generated by a computer, BUTTTTTTTTTT ->
in a games-context i think the consensus up until now was this:

CGI means PRErendered movies (like the ps3 crap at e3 05!) while everything produced in
REALTIME (!) is referred to "in engine", or "in game". the latter being actual gameplay of the game (maybe alpha or beta, but ingame) with some dude actually playing the game.
"in engine" means not necessarily "realtime", but using the game engine(duh!) and NOT some package like 3dsmax or maya, to produce either realtime footage (halo3 trailer!) or "near realtime" footage <- renders a sequence of images using the game engine(as opposed to some cgi package like 3dsmax maya and so on), but maybe with higher res assets(higher polycount, better res textures). these images are then edited, post processed and put into a movie. of course you could also render with higher res assets in realtime if you strip all the baggage you normally have when playing the game (like controls, a.i., sound). and there is always a possibilty to mix multiple techniques ^_^

i hope this clears things up

/wiseass mode off ;)

to be at least one bit on topic... i think the video belongs into the "in engine" category.
at least it looks possible to be realtime, consodering how great games like dead rising, gow or cod3 look.

Okay, this looks a little too familiar if you've played RE4 ---> http://www.xboxygen.com/upload/Gallery/Darksector0...

Nevermind what I said about originality.

too bad i think old dark sector was far more interesting :(

This is Saths topic, no person can deny his logic.

heheh its mine, thx. People got their Blue dragon, Mass Effect, Halo...Dark Sector is mine.

Synce, never played RE4, but seen it, looks to be very good. The teaser is in-game engine, and it will be better like these screenshots. Hell even the Mag Disc shot when thecamera was close was in-game.

audio does not decode on my MAC using VLC player and the latest nightly build. Any chance you can re-encode the HQ video with a different audio codec?

BAH, this IS frickin' ingame! Just watch the HD one, or the HD screencaps, have you ever seen jaggies in fricking CG!?

Seriously.. this is nothing compared to the sharpness and detail of textures in GoW, if you've seen the rain level on an HD tv, you'll be frickin' amazed that that's in-game.. I swear this is in-game, IGN says it, and it looks like it.

I know sci-fi is better, but you cant do anything if they changed the concept. Well I respect your opinion, it sucks, and you dont like it.

I would be the 2nd biggest fan of this game behind Seth and there was reason to. I loved that first trailer, giving a feel of futuristic Splinter Cell. But now it's a generic 3rd person shooter. I wanted the MORPHING SUIT! The design for that game was astounding, using a cool art deco but also some awesome enemies. Reminded me of Starcraft.
As long as they have Yakudo doing the music, I'll be happy :)
Commented on 2006-11-23 22:00:45
Okay, I saw the trailer and not impressed at all. It definitely feels like Resident Evil 4, the only difference being in sci-fi universe with a guy who carries a swivelling blade. I want the old sci-fi stealth game, that WOW'ed me in the first place. And NO, they don't have Yakudo, A HUGE SHAME. Sorry, Sath you might be forgiving but I'm not. No reason whatsoever they needed to change their whole design.
