X3F TV -- Dark Sector hands-on

by Richard Mitchell { Mar 5th 2008 at 11:30AM }

In the latest episode of X3F TV, we take a hands-on look at Dark Sector. In the video, we discuss the game's interesting mechanics, the single player campaign and also touch on Dark Sector's unique multiplayer mode. Overall, Dark Sector is shaping up to be a decent and, perhaps more importantly, different third person shooter. Check out the video and share your feedback in the comments.

That looks pretty cool. Despite the stupid name and gay box art that initially turned me off I'll have to give this a second look.

Who cares about the box art damnit, anyway it does look cool and I cant wait. Good stuff X3F even though I had already seen all of that footage months ago on IGN.

Considering I captured the footage while playing the game with a developer, I don't think you did :)

Although most of the cut scenes have been out for a while I will admit.

reminds me of GOW and RE4. seeing how those two games are in my top 5 all-time favorites, we may have another contender for next-to-buy game.

Looks real cool. Definitely gonna have to get this.

Well I'd rather play the space game this once was, but I'm still pretty excited about getting this.

Mr Richard Mitchell,

Developer Commentary Pt. 1 (December 11, 2007) is all I was referring to buddy. I did say good stuff.....

Nicely done, I was a little iffy about the first two episodes of X3F TV but this one was much better.

Richard Mitchell @ Mar 5th 2008 1:59PM

Fenix,

I know. I wasn't really mad, hence the smiley :)

Thanks for the kind words.

Gonna have to say, the first part where it was a gears of war/re4 clone looked much more interesting. Especially with the moody black and white digital cinematography. All that color that came back into the game after his infection just seemed to make it more like the standard (typical) shooter. Although, I will admit his boomerang looks like a fun weapon. Hopefully the environments are creative and interesting like the first looked.

Nice, I love watching hands-on videos. Hope you do more videos like that on the website.

Thanks for the hands on X3F, I hadn't been sold on this game yet, but it your video made me really think about getting it. The other gameplay vids I have seen, hasn't made the game look so good.

Is not "The Glaive" from Krull? -

Seems interesting, I really did like the beginning before he got infected as the actual shooter. Though the glaive looks pretty sweet and for sure adds a unique touch to the whole thing.

Also OT: Where'd the reply system go? I was away for a few weeks and all of a sudden, its gone!
