Well, Dark Sector was one of the first games that was announced for next-gen, and yet there has been no word from Digital Extremes whatsoever. The game was announced last year.

When the first teaser came out I knew this is gonna be one of those unique games next by the side to Too Human, Mass Effect and Gears of War. I have always dreamed that "my character" would exactly like that if I could draw or make a 3D pictures. It seems like Digitial Exremes went into my head and got that concept from me, because thats exactly how I wanted the character to look like and they made it possible. The whole non-big suit and cool attached to non-attached mask. I basically why chose the name Sath because it reminds me alot of Mass Effect (and KOTOR) and Dark Sector, Gears of War and Too Human. I get insperation from KOTOR and Mass Effect alot when it comes to names and themes, and I am glad to have that as insperation from them.

But anyhow I got some cool pictures that I have taken myself in pretty good quality and backstory and alittlebit of the main character.

These are the quotes from the IGN interview with James Schmalz, creative director of Digital Extremes
-------------------------------
"The main character is Hayden Tenno. We can't reveal too much about him, except to say he is very unique. He has more in common with Wolverine than Sam Fisher, if that helps"

It kind of means that it will be more action paste stealth rather like Splinter Cell kind of way. James also said that Hayden is more like Wolverine, so I expect more coolness, jokes, one liners and brutal up close kills.
-----------------------
"Dark Sector blends finesse and brutality into a fast-action game. It mixes first-person shooter control schemes with a third-person perspective. The perspective choice is an obvious one because of our twist on the genre: your suit can 'morph.' This morphing is central to creating the new possibilities for our combative and non-combative game mechanics."

As you saw in the trailer, he kind of "buffs" op into in some inches bigger and got more ability than his standard level. I also think its a awesome job that they make it FPS and TPS at your own choosing, not by the game, kind of like Oblivion if you ask me.
-------------------------
"It's important to note that Dark Sector is going to have elements of 'fast stealth,' not slow and creeping stealth -- but action-oriented, fast-killing-from-the-shadows type stealth. We emphasize power and control over the situation, not reluctance and trepidation"

Like I said before, fast pasted stealth, no Splinter Cell. Shadow is your allie. In one scene from the teaser you can see Hayden is up close to one of the "mercs" (thats the current name I use for now) the blue cyber "clones"?. He took his arms and choke the merc to death with one hand.
-------------------------
"What you have seen is nothing compared to what the suit can actually do. It's one of the big mysteries of the game and is our key differentiating element. As you progress, you learn more about what it can do. Separating the suit from the man is also kind of a gray area..."

This is my favorite part of the interview. So the suit is your only weapon (aside your dual guns). He can litterly draw the opponents weapon from there hand and use it for himself. He can activate himself to jump higher than the regular level he jumps for. (watch the 7-10 mins trailer). He can also active his mask so if theres bad air ot gas leak or any kind of stuff like that you can attached it on. Sweet got its sounding good, my dream character becomes reality for me.
------------------------------
"There are definitely comic/movie inspirations such as X-Men 2, Iron Man and the original Batman. The player will be a powerful outsider, almost like a super hero. Set in a world that, at first glance, appears much like our own."

well I can actually see him as an outsider and kind of like a hero, but not from X-Men or batman stuff.
-------------------------------
Heres the stuff most of you might wanted to know...

"The next generation visuals are going to be amazing. You cannot fully appreciate Dark Sector unless it's running in true high resolution. Our technology has come a long way since that video was created. We are also still a long way from finishing Dark Sector, so we still have a lot of technology to create and add to the game. So, if you like what you see now, you will love what you see when we show it off next.

As for what effects we are using now that we couldn't before... well, I like to describe it best like this: consumer computing will inevitably be multi-processor configurations. Soon enough dual cores will be the standard in new PCs. So with a single processor system we'd allocate 15-20% to AI, perhaps double that to physics. Well, imagine now that you could allocate an entire processor to one of those tasks? That is a massive increase in performance. Just think of the physics or AI or particle effects you could create with a fast dedicated CPU. That gives developers a huge amount of freedom to explore new ideas. Developers will have more flexibility than ever."

It is running on Unreal Engine 3, thats so far I understand.
---------------------------
"There is a multiplayer component. We can't go in to details in this area, but we can say we are doing multiplayer and it's going to be something very new and exciting."

Online is the best part for replay value for sure. I am guessing the regular deathmatch and stuff like that is going to be a part of it. I am hoping that you can create yout own "suit" like colors and stuff like that, kind of like Halo 2, would be very awesome!
--------------------------
" What you see is just an extended version of that initial sneak peak. But a lot has changed with the game itself. But these are things we can't talk in depth on. Let's just say the game has really grown in the year since this demo was made."

I havent seen anything new on this game, but I have a feeling its running smooth and I hope to god it turns out to be the game I am looking for
-----------------------

That is pretty much the latest from DE on Dark Sector. I dont understand why theres so minimal of people who is talking about Dark Sector, thats something I dont get.
Sure theres no news or anything at all but thats the same thing for Mass Effect, and thats just on teaser with a few pictures and video interviews, thats it. While Dark Sector is showing its atleast 10 minutes in-game video. No its not gameplay but that is pretty much and more how it gonna show up.

So far everything looks cool, and Hayden is obviously the best character in gaming I have seen (no offence Op, Baluder kicks ass to =D). From day 1 on the teaser pictures I became a fan of Dark Sector, and I am going to find all kind of news on this bad boy as I can.

As a reward I have taken screenshots of good quality shots of the trailer of Haydens suit and cool scenes. (made them scale up for wallpaper resolution).


On the teaser Hayden looked different, but on the longer version of the trailer they changed him, alot cooler if you ask me.

-all these pictures are realy concepts from the teaser, they arent the final versions-

**All these seems to be the final versions, but it might be changed. It also seems that once hes activated his suit color becomes dark/light grey. But once he isnt activated its black. I think it makes sense for combat and stealth actions. Samething goes with his "horn" on his helmet. It becomes longer when hes activated and short when hes normal.**

All of these pictures are from Hayden, and these are the best parts with him. And they are taken from the trailer.

Thats all the pictures I took, and I hope you guys love them as much as me. I heard that Dark Sector is gonna be "activated" on E3 this year (olala hahaha) so I hope to get alot more info about this bastard who kept me awake in gaming.

PS. Plumb, could you type "About Dark Sector" so this one gets official, so theres not multi threads on the time of E3 comes. Thanx!

That little orange link in no way makes this official, but yes, it's there now.

All that does is link you to the game info page, where you can find YDE media/news about the game, release dates, publisher info, etc... as well as threads linked to the game (ones with the little orange linky thingy).
This way, if you look up a game in the database, you will see all threads related to the game.

I didnt know that, except this invisible pie =)

yea most likley its going up on 2007 =(

I accept, and share it among our lovely members.

good

guys the site is updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.darksector.com/

sure its nothing to show off, but atleast we know they are working at the game. Makes me cry of joy. This means that there will be something of Dark Sector on E3.

Hey that's Blades weapon??

haha he stole it.

By the picture he looks like a cyborg, but the guy has long hair so I doubt he is Hayden. Unless they changed Hayden appearence(I hope as hell that they didnt do it). DE said that its a suit or some kind that can transform into different "modes" to do do different abilities. I dont even think its Hayden, but this characters "body" does look like bad ass.

I think Dark Sector is gonna be a very unusual yet awesome game right up with IM, Assassin's Creed and Too Human.

I will like it says, and I have to follow

"Everything you know about Dark Sector Is probably wrong"

I might be wrong and I might not, but the decision of me love it or not is right. This is gonna be my favorite game of all time if the gameplay is awesome.
I think there are like a few people who really likes this game already as me and I know almost everything about this game that has leaked and such that I am an early fan of Dark Sector, as like Op loves Too Human.
