Dark Sector - Update

Ever wonder what happened to a game that was announced several years ago, but haven’t heard much from for a long time? Dark Sector is such a game. It was presented to the gaming world in 2004, yet not much has been heard about its development up until now. GameSpot has taken another look at the updated game. In 2004 Digital Extremes released an impressive trailer, and said that Dark Sector would be using next-generation computer technology. But since that was almost 3 years ago, it makes you wonder whether it’s still a next-gen computer game, or more like the games we play today.You may want to forget about the trailer because the changes made over the years have drastically changed the game. The game is to be published in 2007.

For starters, forget everything you saw in that trailer. Gone are the futuristic corridors, powered armor, and Metal Gear-in-space trappings you saw well over two years ago. They’ve given way to a slightly more mundane setting that Digital Extremes says will serve to underscore the unusual and exceptional nature of the game’s new main character, Hayden Tenno. Tenno is a CIA “cleaner,” the guy they call to come in and fix situations gone awry, the guy who “makes plausible deniability happen,” according to the developer. At the game’s outset, Tenno will head to the fictional former Soviet state of Lasria, where some sort of horrific biological weapons research has been taking place in secret. His mission is, of course, to mop up the situation, but that mission will be complicated when he encounters two factions at war with one another: a group of powerful mutated humans known as the infected, and a well-armed paramilitary force trying to stop them.
