With some delay, herr Frans from 3D Gamers noticed that a recent interview with Steve Sinclair (project lead at Digital Extremes) pretty much blows away our hopes for a PC version of Dark Sector - an action title once shrouded in mystery and hype, but not so impressive anymore after the trailers that appeared during the past month. Come to think of it, neither does the new official website show any PC-CD/DVD logo, just the ones for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game should be released simultaneously on both consoles, sometime during fall 2007.

Despite the sci-fi atmosphere featured in the E3 2004 tech-demo, Dark Sector was revealed this year in a whole new shape. The reason behind this sudden change of scenery is that the devs from Digital Extremes wanted to place the game's hero, Hayden Tenno, in a contemporary environment, in order to better showcase the strange powers he receives in one of his investigations - the one the game is also based upon.

"In the midst of a quarantined town, a hunted man tries to come to terms with what he is becoming. Pursued by heavily-armed guards, Hayden Tenno is undergoing a series of physical changes that are endowing him with strange new powers and altering his mental state. As he struggles to hold on to his humanity, Dark Sector presents one of the most involving and ground-breaking next generation experiences you have seen."

So, one less PC game to worry about in 2007. Besides, if Bioshock comes out next year, we'll hardly need any other kind of mutations anyway.
