Q: What's so special about Dark Sector?

A: Dark Sector is a first of its kind game that mixes deathmatch game play (Quake 3, Unreal Tournament) with Everquest style persistent world serving. That means you play as a character with stats and a reputation that will follow. This is definitely a cutting edge experiment in game design.

Q: Who is making Dark Sector?

A: Digital Extremes is making the game itself while they are using elements of Epic's Unreal engine.

Q: What's the storyline?

A: Ripped from the press release...Dark Sector is set in the wake of world devastation, where survivors are scattered throughout the solar system in a vast crumbling network of outposts and space stations. Anarchy reigns as violent factions wage war over limited resources. The remnants of world government have sanctioned bounty hunting in a desperate attempt to control the growing chaos.

Q: Wait a minute, it's using the Unreal engine? I thought it was being made by DE?

A: It is using a licensed copy of Epic's Unreal engine. Epic is NOT working on Dark Sector. Digital Extremes is also rewriting the rendering element of the Unreal engine. The engine will now be hardware only and will require a 3d card
Q: I'm excited. When will I see this in stores?

A: When it's done After a poll on the site most people are actually expecting to see in it in about 1.5 to 2 years, it will be worth the wait


En una parte comenta que Epic no trabaja en este proyecto, funcionara en D3d y Opengl
También responde a la pregunta de cuando estará a la venta, respondiendo que espera que dentro de un año y medio o 2.
