Mar 07, 2008 11:13am CST tags: Dark Sector, Gone Gold, Digital Extremes
Digital Extremes' glaive-wielding action title Dark Sector (PS3, X360) has entered the manufacturing process and will ship to North American retailers on March 25, D3Publisher announced today.

Powered by Digital Extremes' Evolution Engine, the title has players assuming the role of Hayden, a former special ops agent infected by a virus that grants him superpowers. Just like Mega Man, Hayden must defeat bosses in order to acquire their specific powers, such as the ability to create a bullet-deflecting bubble shield.

Dark Sector also sports a multiplayer mode, featuring two different gameplay types, with Digital Extremes hoping to eventually flesh out the title's multiplayer component via downloadable content.

D3Publisher of America has released the first screenshots and details of the multiplayer mode in the Digital Extremes-developed Dark Sector.

Slated to arrive on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 25, the title supports up to ten players. The Infection mode pits slower-moving soldier-class players against one super-powered foe, while Epidemic has two teams facing off against in an attempt to assassinate the other's sole super-powered combatant.

A total of five maps will be available at launch, with the game's multiplayer playable via online or LAN play. Following its releases, Digital Extremes hopes to further flesh out the game's multiplayer component with new modes, maps, and other goodies via downloadable content.

Dark Sector Updated Impressions

Jan 28, 2008 11:26am CST tags: Dark Sector, Preview
Defying its earlier development history, Dark Sector is shaping up into a complete title, seeing increasingly frequent press events as it approaches its March release. I recently sat down with Digital Extremes' PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 third-person shooter for some more significant hands-on time than in my last preview. While I saw less of the game this time than I did then in terms of actual material, I was able to get a much firmer handle on how the game plays. Read all about it.

Either because I was already familiar with the mechanics from my last session, or because the designers had tweaked the difficulty and feel as I was hoping--probably a bit of both, and more of the former if I'm being honest with myself--Dark Sector was a whole lot easier for me this time around. Chucking the glaive with one hand while popping rapid-fire pistol rounds into an enemy's head with the other became almost second nature, where before it had been more unwieldy. Read more...

Dark Sector Impressions

Chris Remo recently went hands-on with the latest version of Digital Extremes' mutagenic Dark Sector (PS3, X360). Scope out his impressions to find out why he thinks the game "may well be the title that brings wider gamer recognition of Digital Extremes and [publisher] D3."
Fortunately for you, you are the protagonist in a video game, so rather than becoming horribly mutated and losing all shreds of your humanity, your arm becomes metal and you gain the use of a boomerang-like, triple-bladed weapon called the glaive (ie, the Glaive of Krull, rather than the historical polearm).

Dark Sector Preview

Digital Extremes' Dark Sector (PS3, X360) was recently delayed until early 2008, but the game is already in a playable state. Contributor Jeb Haught checked out the game to judge its blade-chucking action for himself.
I quickly tossed the Glaive into the pack of soldiers. It sang a song of severance as it removed one bad guy's leg and left him screaming in agony. The Glaive happily returned to my hand, and this time I aimed at an enemy's head. Needless to say, shooting guns is a bit more difficult when you have been decapitated, so I ignored the cranially-challenged bloody heap and turned to the last threat. Like a Ginsu knife slicing through a tin can, the Glaive perforated the armored soldier with little effort and he dropped to the ground. "Wow," I thought, "that sure was satisfying!"
