This is a follow-up to our coverage on the new info about Dark Sector a while back. Hmm, it seems that isn't new info anymore. Steve Sinclair, the game's designer, offered up this info about the new new changes: "The essence of what we wanted to do hasn't changed, in terms that the character is still Haden Tenno, and he's still following this sort of messianic journey, but the setting has definitly changed considerably...The thing that we kept hearing from people was realism...realism, and natural enviroments, and plausibilty." Gone is the sci-fi/futuristic attributes and the main character is no longer rumored to be an FBI Agent. Now he's an assassin employed by the American government to investigate strange happenings in... Lasria.Now, we'd like to type up everything about the story, but you can just as easily read it over at the original article. What's interesting to note is the nod towards the classic Rygar games -- you have a bladed throwing disc from the start of the game, used to attack enemies, grab objects, etc. You've also got guns and other powers at your disposal (much unlike Rygar -- save those fairly useless summons from the PS2 version). No word on multiplayer yet, but it should be rockin', just like this game is starting to look and sound. Keep an eye open for more info later on.

i remember when people played video games for a breif escape from reality. Its a shame they got rid of everything that was cool about the game, as i WAS really looking foward to it.

Very, very sad. Gone is a great idea (I loved that "tech-suit" in the first trailers.)
With these new changes, dark-sector will be just one more boring "me too"-Game.
And c'mon: Virus outbreaks + resulting mutations, and eastern-europe countries are extremely lame as a game-setting.
