DE: Dark Sector - 1st "PS3 / XBox2" Generation Game "Announced"

Note usage of speech marks there (because PS3 and XBox aren't offical names, and announcements are usually a bit more significant).

Digital Extremes, Co-Developer of the Unreal / Unreal Tournament / Championship Series, as well as the forthcoming PC/Xbox title "Pariah" have released a teaser video for their long in development and completely shrouded in mystery action game "Dark Sector". Originally announced as in development as a PC game, using the Unreal Engine around 2001, the project went under-wraps and wasn't heard of for a long time.

Until Now. Dark Sector has now moved to a completely new graphics engine - named "Sector" (presumeably because the "Dark Engine" copyright is held by LGS (R.I.P), makers of the Thief and System Shock PC games) it is aimed at the anticipated abilities of the Computer Systems of it's projected release date: 2006. The intention is therefore to develop a game for Microsoft and Sony's forthcoming systems, and (presumably) whatever PC graphics technology is capable of 2-3 years from now.

The Trailer shows a short (but sweet) graphical sequence, with what looks like a stealth / action mix. When originally announced, Dark Sector was to be a free-form online action game (at least, this is what I remember - I may be wrong), but as the site says " Everything that you know about Dark Sector is probably wrong."

Get a look at what tomorrow's games are anticipated to look like (in an early form, scaled down for today's hardware!) at www.darksector.com
