Ripten: Hands-On with Dark Sector Multiplayer (Bonus Official Screenshot Gallery!)

360 News from N4G | Dark Sector

360 - Dark Sector - Ripten: Hands-On with Dark Sector Multiplayer (Bonus Official Screenshot Gallery!)

Ripten's Dan Landis writes:

During GDC, the Ripten crew was privy to an exclusive invite-only shindig presented by the good people at D3Publishing. What did we do? Well, we sat down in front of some system-linked Xbox 360's and proceeded to tear the shit out of each other in a few rounds of Digital Extremes' new game, Dark Sector.

Steve Sinclair, Project Lead for the game, ran through a bit of the single player with us first. He showed us what is essentially the tutorial, the events leading up to Hayden (Dark Sector's main character) getting infected with awesomeness, and then skipped around to later levels to show us some upgraded bad-assery.

Easy does it: Be careful of what games you want to defend

360 - Dark Sector - Easy does it: Be careful of what games you want to defend

Following news last week that Australian censors have withheld yet another game (Dark Sector) from adult players, most gamers would feel frustration at the inequity of the current classification regime.

But Dr. Brett Hutchins, a passionate gamer and a senior lecturer in Communications and Media Studies at Melbourne's Monash University, believes the lack of an R18+ rating for games in Australia might actually be good for the long-term health and acceptance of interactive entertainment.

The gaming community should be very careful about what games they use to rally around and prosecute the classification system. In much of the public eye, unnecessary and mindless games like Manhunt 2, which rely on extreme violence to shock, titillate and garner attention, are only going to reinforce the stereotypes that gamers are fighting to overcome. Dr. Hutchins points out that "if the wrong games (i.e. extremely violent games) are held up as evidence of unfairness, this may actually be counter-productive."
