Digital Extremes releases an action montage of Dark Sector, its cheap Gears of War clone. It doesn't look very exciting to me.

Really liked it!

One problem they need to fix (which I doubt they will) is the magnum handgun animation when shooting, it looks so cold and weird.

Good thing that isn't my favorite weapon at all, no need to watch it.

But the other weapons was cool, like that glock handgun.

You noticed it as well :P

I did notice auto lock on only when he was ehm "blind firing".
I was quite worried of why he was blind firing and got perfect shots, everytime.

Maybe aim assist or something.

No looks like the whole game is that way :D, there is no reticle and he wasn't really aiming at targets.

looked better when it was a space-horror action game. now it looks like a shitty version of gears of war. Looks even worse in motion.

I agree. From looking at forums it seems like everybody else agrees too.
I really have no idea why the devs didn't listen to fans and go back to the space stealth shooter.


Now it looks like they changed things at the last minute to fit in with the GoW/Resistance crowd, but they didn't have enough ideas to make it work.

Gives me more of a RE4 feel than GoW if you ask me.

I definitely agree. This looks boring as shit. This is a crap rip-off of GOW, and it doesn't even have co-op. Question: If everyone was wetting themselves with excitement over the original space concept, why would you opt to scrap it. I just don't understand these companies sometimes.

from that vid the game has some bugs in it, they need to smooth out the game play, aiming, animation AI,

and they need to do it quick cause they've delayed the game long enough

The outside-environments seem to have a very inside-feel. Bwoah.

I agree with that actually.

There is more "military" type shooting while there is less "horror" type shooting.

After RE4 and its gameplay Dark Sector is closest to it, but then the real one comes out, RE5.

But I can say this, as a fan of this setting as well, I want the space stealth shooter.

The video showcases very nicely how dumb the AI is in this game. this is as polite as I can put it. Seriously, the enemies were just standing there and were being shot.

The game has suddenly lost all of its qualities for me. it seems to be trying to copy GOW and to be honest it's not doing a good job at all. gameplay looked pretty boring.

Is it me but does the gun shots sound the same for all weapons in this movie?

I totally dug the old space setting for DarkSector, but still think this could have heaps of potential. Besides the publisher is known for good quality products, so I won't write it off just yet.

BooM...most people hated Pariah...although that is not the only games they did, but when people see a company do one bad game, it is set to be written in stone that the company is bad or is in the right path of bad.

Alimo...they kept switching scenery to show off the weapons, they didn't even let the enemy move, what do you expect.

Although that I agree, the AI is not good, there is always online for good challenge.

is the main character more detailed than the rest?

just can't put my finger on it..but it's missing something from making it a stellar A* game

There are just too many games that seem to do what this one does but better.

... yes its missing proper mocap recording, the animations seem to be "faked" in 3d modeling animation instead of real mocap, even the reload animations arent fluid like they should be and are in "A" games.

I dont mind another fps set like this but if your going to release action gameplay, fix the animations first.

Also dont release "just a bunch of different shooting senarios tied together" videos.. those make the game look boring, even if it isnt... well unless your gears of war and it's remastered with cool gorish chainsaw disections :)

Animations look dodgy, and the sounds are a bit off too. Looks like it'll be a decent game though.

I have no idea how you can look at this setting and the blindfire/cover mechanics and go "it looks more like RE than Gears" with a straight face. :)

Ok 50/50 take it or leave it :D

If it was much like Gears I wouldn't be interested in it.

yeh when you see the old trailer, it had some really good ideas and i loved the art style. This looks bland and boring and AI looks dumb ass. A pass for me
