Phew.... I was worried I might actually have to buy this. But another stiff-controlling, story-less, bland action game I can do without thank you.

Allfather Black

@Spartan1308: sigh, agreed.

@Atheist Jew: Kidding about what? It doesn't seem like it will be an organic part of the game. Obviously, I will withhold too much judgment until I play the game, but if this video is indicative of anything, it shows me that the use of the Sixaxis only comes into play when it goes into super-cool slow-motion, and so it becomes a separate part of the game. They're drawing specific attention to the use of the Sixaxis. To me, that screams gimmick.

@jonathan: Lair was different, because the Sixaxis was an organic aspect of the game. Unfortunately, it wasn't done right. But that wasn't gimmicky.

Have seen preview version of the game today.
Am not impressed.

I can't think of a good name...

Just the sheer amount of time the developers have been mulling about with this game makes me hope that it does alright.

I hope that there is gonna be more enemies than just Soldier, Silent Hill-ish monstrosity, and Chromas.

Dudemeister

I won't be picking this game up. I remember when it was initially shown as a stealth game based in outer space. I thought that was awesome and original.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they reintroduced Dark Sector to us and proceeded to explained that they felt their initial direction (outer space stealth) was too cliche. Their solution? Guy invading army base with guns shooting goons...because THAT hasn't been done in a videogame before.

My favorite part of the trailer: When he hucks his weapon at the Chroma and the thing stands up in order to intercept it. Good grief.

Klaymen

Yay, frisbee!

Ahhhh...quick time events suck.

@peAr_nectAr: Well when you make a game for PS3, it's highly "encouraged" by Sony. (See: Lair)

jonathan

@peAr_nectAr: You have got to be kidding.

Atheist Jew

I played some of this game and I loved it... I've been waiting for full version to come out for a while now. It has a lot of potential.

@brennan: So instead of trying to be cool, they're just trying to be gimmicky?

peAr_nectAr

I am not as cynical about this game as everyone else.Gears of WAr was painfully generic, I played it and had fun but did not see why people swore it was the bees knees.I love that this game has many layers.Its giving me gunplay,puzzles,and gore.Sounds good to me.

jackal888

This game comes off as painfully generic. It doesn't really try to establish a style for itself...

BigKidIcarus

@Gadgetron: I was just thinking the Krull reference myself...

BonkUGood

Meh... enemies that cloak. Big deal.. Some parts with the boomerang were alright, but I think this game is a pass.

Dakkonfire

I do hope they left the gore in.

If they took it out consider me passing up on this game.

Witzbold

...And if the main character was female this would be a 'futuristic' sequel to Heavenly Sword...

It just doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table, in gameplay or concept. Gamefly was created for games like this. I'll rent it but it doesn't look like a keeper.

TKWarrior

This game will fall into the category know as a "backlist" - Games that I want to play but will wait 6 - 8 months for a price drop or boring weekend.

(Assassins Creed, Army of Two, Devil May Cry 4, Turok)

Collapse The Control

Every version of Dark Sector that is not an epic sci-fi-stealth action game with an entire score of Taiko music and a shape-shifting suit of powered armor that changes for every unique situation is a piece of shit I have no interest in playing.

It looked like it was going to be an absolutely brilliant, stunning achievement of game design, and now it looks like generic crap. I am so sad to see the amazing looking game lost to the world forever to be replaced with this.

Atheist Jew

this kind of looks cool, but then kinda looks "meh".

I can haz gears of war with krull overtonez?

Gadgetron

@peAr_nectAr: I think the slow mo was for sixaxis use, not to be cheesy.

brennan

The game looks great to me. Can't wait to give it a go.

Guild_Navigator

I think the word "generic" was created for games like this one.

And really? Slow-motion? It ain't 1999 anymore. Slow-mo does not automatically equal cool in this day and age. I mean, if it went slow-mo as the giant shuriken cut through the flesh of that alien, and the alien's upper half and bottom half went flying in different directions, and there were guts splattered everywhere, THEN the slow-mo would be cool.

peAr_nectAr

I've seen good vids of this game and bad ones...

and this vid is in the bad area.

TxKARATEDUDE

I think it looks quite cool, although i wish they didn't have that stupid weapon degredation thing they talked about. It's always just shit in a game.

Jambolia

This game does nothing for me. It did nothing for me when they announced it like 2 years ago and it still does nothing for me. That video is really quite dull.

Gray665

It looks like its been tweaked a bit more since the TGS which is a good thing.

Witzbold

@Modus_Operandi: Made me chuckle after a long day at work, thanks man. Definitely hit something right about game mechanics that don't age very well.

Blinded220

@Modus_Operandi: Yeah I agree with you, A man with a virus that turns his body steel is not gonna be afraid of spider bites.

RET_Ghost

@RET_Ghost "like it,"

RET_Ghost

Everytime I see this game I go "Oh yea....{cough}" then I move on. This just seems like a title that tried to make head way during that whole Unreal Engine next-gen boom. Its lost alot of steam and its premise is just corny. Building a whole game around one weapon and its game applications is so 2002...unless your name is Portal. I mean listen to this. Apparently in one point there are cobwebs blocking the players path. The way to get past them is to light your glave on fire and hurl it at the cobwebs. I mean cobwes? Really? This was fun when I did it in Ocarina of Time. Now its just silly.

Modus_Operandi

I really want this game to be great as well. I am really digging the static effect on that enemy. What I'm really wondering is, when do we get the full alien suit (for lack of a better description?) I remember reading about it, and some of the initial screenshots showed it....surely its still in there? Hopefully its not one of those deals where you get it for the last boss and are left thinking "Man...can wait to use that thing in Dark Sector 2"

Afore Notation

looks boring to me...

marcoco

this game looks awsome cant wait

invictus2006

I want to like, I really do but it just plays to slow for my type of game. Maybe a look-sensitivity adjustment will fix it.

RET_Ghost

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
