Excerpts Fromo Dark Sector Interview done by the frigging squad.

Story line:

Hayden(main Character) is introduced as a CIA cleaner who operates in places where his government agency needs to find plausible deniability for mistakes they have made. Sent into Lasria on an assassination mission, Hayden discovers a biological threat that turns people into horribly disfigured beasts¿and that he himself has been exposed to it. Hayden persistently continues his mission, but his strength, endurance, and morality is tested as this strange organic menace reacts with his body, giving him lethal, superhuman abilities. As the horrifying events in Lasria unfold, Hayden's physical transformation will progressively open new gameplay elements for the player, but his emotional and psychological evolution are equally important to character development throughout Dark Sector.CO

Combat:

You can certainly expect the visceral, bloody satisfaction found in other popular shooters to be present in Dark Sector, but Hayden's evolving powers correspond with an evolving combat system that challenges players to face enemies that are no longer just bags of hit points. Some enemies will need to be "puzzled-out" or "opened up" before they become vulnerable to the player's attack. The idea here is to expand combat tactics using the evolving context of the player's abilities to creating new possibilities for old situations.

Videogame sound effects creators have far too much fun. More than us even. Well, they do if they're creating wince-inducing neck-snap and gory dismemberment sounds for Digital Extremes' action game Dark Sector, anyway. As it turns out, this involves extreme fruit and veggie abuse, a practice common the in darker corners of Norfolk where the sheep breathe sighs of relief. Have melon? Smash it, smash it with a hammer. Rip celery apart like a real man! And finger a zucchini to produce... squelchy ... » Read More

Digital Extremes has released even more shots of its long-in-the-making sci-fi stealth-action game Dark Sector. The new shots demonstrate the deformed main character's bladed Frisbee of death and its tricks. As you can see the weapon can absorb fire by flying through flames and also be charged with electricity by being flung into wires, which will no-doubt provide some hilarious kills when it lands on the shelves later this year. You can read more about Dark Sector's Frisbee mischief in our ... » Read More

This batch of images for Dark Sector, a near-future shooter set in a world where bio-weapon wars ravage Earth, show off the game's newly redesigned look and appear to hint at a Resident Evil 4 -style adventure. Hit the Images tab to see more shots, many of which take a fetishist's focus on lead character Hayden Tenno's wicked looking blade-thing. First revealed way back in 2004, Dark Sector's action takes place in a decrepit Soviet bloc environment, although that doesn't mean it can't boast ... » Read More

If there is a game that can be defined as next-gen, this is Dark Sector.

In 2004, Dark Sector has been the first game announced for next-generation consoles and, since then, Digital Extremes, the software house involved in the development, has released almost no material.

However, it seems that something is getting out from the Canadian software house. In fact, the last Game Informer issue reports some interesting and exclusive info on Dark Sector, along with 3 new screenshots showing a change in game-concept course.
