Dark Sector Preview

Dark Sector was one of those video games (along with Killzone 2) that first made its debut at E3 2005, but then disappeared in action. This has all changed over the summer as some new details about the Dark Sector have been released. Dark Sector is a third person shooter for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

At first glance, Dark Sector appears to be in the same vein as Gears of War, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare, and Resident Evil 4. However, it’s not Gears of War, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare, or Resident Evil. 4 game Dark Sector bears some similarities to Gears of War and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare; In addition, they involve using their environments and taking cover.

The protagonist of Dark Sector is Hayden Tenno (CIA agent with amazing abilities). You will encounter a wide variety of adversaries, from genetically altered demons to humans. Fortunately, players have an ace up their sleeve with Hayden Tenno. You will have your usual array of weapons which are but not limited to pistols, shotguns, machine guns etc. From the gameplay footage of Dark Sector, we can infer that players will have a boomerang-like weapon (such as Ninja Gaiden or Blade). The most unique weapon at your disposal has to be the boomerang due to its versatility. Dark Sector was scheduled for a 2007 release date, but was pushed back. The game developers are in a strange situation with Dark Sector.

There’s essentially a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario that can amount to a lose-lose situation. Releasing the game in 2007 would be a tough sell as games like Halo 3, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4 and Assassin’s Creed will be available. A 2008 release date would leave Dark Sector competing against Grand Theft Auto 4, Too Human, and Metal Gear Solid 4. Regardless of a 2007 or 2008 release date, Dark Sector will be plunged into fierce competition. Dark Sector is scheduled to hit video game shelves in 2008.
