Rumor: Dark Sector coming to the PC? [Update]

Posted Jan 18th 2009 5:00PM by John Callaham
Filed under: Action

Last year D3 Publisher released Dark Sector, a game from developer Digital Extremes that began life as a space based MMO, then turned into a sci-fi action game and finally morphed into a third person near-future super hero-like title. At the time the game was a console exclusive but there is evidence now that the game is being ported over to the PC for the European market.

The evidence comes from a message board threat where a supposed screenshot of the game (with Russian fonts) was posted that has PC-like graphics options. There's also a YouTube video floating around that is labeled as "Dark Sector PC" (although the visual evidence doesn't really prove it came from a PC version). We will contact both D3 and Digital Extremes to find out if this is indeed the real deal.

Update: A D3 Publisher spokesperson has told Big Download that questions about a PC port of Dark Sector should go to Digital Extemes.

Don't see why not. This would give them time to polish up the game more, and make it mod friendly too.Posted at 1:39AM on Jan 19th 2009 by theclaw

Dark Sector would be a lot of fun on the PC, but they should tweak the difficulty because the game will get a LOT easier with a mouse and keyboard.Posted at 2:32AM on Jan 19th 2009 by Hashbrown Hunter

It's not just a rumor. It's real. As real as it gets. It's marketed (at least for now) only for the Russian market, and the publisher is Новий Диск (roughly translated New Disk). It's localized at the texts, labels, manual, boxart etc. The dialogs are in english. And just for the record - it uses the latest StarForce :) Posted at 2:55AM on Jan 19th 2009 by Kopacha

I hope this game does get ported to the PC. I also hope that this could be a GFWL game, with all features therein.

This game was a "sleeper" game for me last year. I played the heck out of it and enjoyed it greatly. If the there is a PC version of this and it is GFWL enabled, that would be great.

GFWL - We need more good games for GFWL.

It's real. It's floating around on torrent trackers right now. It's a GFW title.Posted at 3:39AM on Jan 22nd 2009 by Sokkratez
