That Was How it Started, The Irony of this Disease, That in all the others, it had made Cringe, But for him, it had saved his Rizz.
I think this may just be the longest video I've made so far, I hope you enjoy it, and I also hope that Warframe 1999 can capture the essence of Dark Sector.
MY TWITCH: / zachmo_ - เกม
Hey All! This video took a lot to make and to my knowledge, everything should be accurate and in order, but if you notice anything amiss, please let me know and I'll make any clarifications here. Thanks again for watching, yall made this video possible!
Only 1 thing amiss: What is the name of the song in the intro and outro?
I had a lot of fun with the original Dark Sector, and I'm fairly certain I played it before I got into Warframe - I remember being super excited when they first introduced the Glaive, especially before they nerfed it XD
In Warframe nightwave mission I got a mission that says complete a mission with a glaive and pistol. And they call that "just like old times" reference to dark sector
thats awesome
when i saw that one, i was so giddy
I love that
In one of the old Battle passes you could get Protocol Skins which are his res versions of weapons from Dark Sector.
@@Lord_Phoenix95 I have them all lol
Fact of the day: any DE employee recent or old will immediately have nightmares about Dark Sector and how badly they abandoned it (for good reason to be honest) once a year. This goes from the designers and devs all the way to Steve himself.
I definitely don't doubt that, you can tell that Dark Sector had a great deal of love put into the lore and setting that could have only come about from the folks working on it having a genuine passion for it. I wouldn't trade the Warframe we have today for anything, but the thought of some kind of follow up to dark sector does have an appeal to it
That would be awesome, but im definitivly happy that warframe exists@@Zachmo
There's so much DE could do to incorporate the lore of dark sector in with Warframe.
@@Ace4573 iirc they don't have the rights to it anymore, no?
@@coel3572 It would be nice if they could get in contact with the company that has the rights and negotiate something, at least.
If I recall correctly, the infected go insane because the technocyte virus causes immense and constant pain.
The reason Hayden handles getting infected fine is because he has congenital insensitivity to pain, an extremely rare medical condition where a person doesn't feel any pain.
I'm pretty sure this is never mentioned in-game, I only know about it because I read it in a gaming magazine some time before release.
I remember hearing that too, from somewhere. It makes me think about just how much other plot or background from the game had to be left on the cutting room floor. Something that I only noticed through wiki diving is that Nadia is related in some ambiguous way to Viktor, the informant Hayden kills in the prologue. You'd never know it going just off of in game info though.
It would be so cool if DE had the IP rights to Dark Sector again
Uhh, but ... in cutscene where he was infected he reacted to being impaled with grunts of pain.
@@quint3ssent1a The fact that he was only grunting in pain, rather than blindly attacking everything around him, kind of proves the point. Perhaps Hayden was merely highly insensitive to pain, instead of being unable to feel pain. At a certain point, the practical difference is irrelevant.
What you said makes me think that the Sacrifice quest in Warframe might be yet another nod back to Dark Sector. Because the reason the first Warframes went insane and were deemed uncontrollable by the Orokin was because of the incredible physical (and emotional) pain that their transformation induced within them. And the Tenno were only able to control them by "taking their pain away."
You know, the fact that the whole time-manipulation, continuity, and alternative timeliness is a thing in warframe....who knows... maybe darksector is just one of them
If DE manages to use Eternalism to make Dark Sector concurrently canon with 1999 I won't even be mad, you'd just have to respect the move
An alternate thread in the weave of Khra
@Zachmo respects is as an understatement. Would TOTALLY give em huge kudos. Would give "We end, as we began" one WHOLE different perceptive to analyze lore wise.
@@Zachmo I mean, there is a lot of nods to Dark Sector in Warframe, but the most interesting one that really makes me think the game already is Canon in the timeline is the fact Nyx has a skin that is straight up the nemesis(and nods to the fact it came from dark sector). there is also the fact the last boss of dark sector is a common boss in Warframe(Lephantis)
@AllucardBR-JPFS, "Why do you destroy us? We are your flesh" Lephantis
I went to the first Tennocon wearing the Dark Sector hat that came with the pre-order waaaaay back. The devs I managed to meet and staff actually loved me for wearing it, and when they asked my name, they were ecstatic to learn that my name is Hayden. They all warmly joked 'My god, the first Tenno walks among us.' lol The Proto Excalibur is a skin I have never removed, and for all its flaws, I still love the hell out of this game. But it was cool to see that the developers of Warframe still hold Dark Sector as a failed but fond memory. It's clear that without Dark Sector, Warframe would never be. And without Hayden, there would be no Tenno. I'm super excited for 1999, but part of me still hopes this game is canon to the timeline in some shape or form, as it's been held as precursor gospel amongst lore fans as a peak into the distant past with how the virus was born and ultimately spread throughout the universe, and that Hayden's unique biology may have been key in creating Warframes, a virus/technological fusion to allow suits to incorporate the powers without being infected. The same way Nadia was human but could utilize all the abilities by wearing her Warframe.
Either way, this game will always be a part of the legacy.
And I'm glad you enjoyed it!
the enferon being referenced by the new military as the 'efervon' weapons in 1999 is a fun little reference, too!
Yessss, I noticed that too when I got to that part in the video!
From what i recall of old DE interviews (pre 2012) Warframe the space game was conceptualized and going through pre-production before thy came to publishers and got rejected with the space theme. They had to re-invent the setting into 20th century military shooter to gain publisher's approval. That means Warframe lore/setting is the original from which Dark sector takes root and not the other way around.
Yeah, that was around 1999 (when they finished work on Unreal Tournament) to 2004 (When it got very close to full production).
So we are back at it again 1999 the year it all began 😅
Dude literally says this like 2 min into the video
@@frealsolidusauxil5873 we're back... and we end as we began
Man, noticing little Warframe carry overs is really cool. 15:28 That's the sound of the Lex
R.I.P Unreal Tournament btw. Fuck Epic for Killing it off.
Part of me wishes that Warframe 1999 was going to be a spin off tittle that would have the Slower paced combat of Dark sector. While I do like floor nuking, I miss the slower feel that Original Warframe and Dark Sector had.
From time to time in solo I take my time and don’t rush through a mission bullet jumping and speed running try it it’s refreshing

The jackal in this game kinda looks like the hounds you get from the sisters of parvos.
Also kinda looks like the jackal boss fight a little, makes you wonder really
Arthur... like Excalibur's wielder? 😳
Oh shit
I didnt even think about this god damn
"I have a plan, Arthur..."
18:47 Damn, they even kept the glaive finisher in Warframe. That must mean this game is a direct prequel, no doubt about it
Devs have said multiple times that the games aren't related in that way. Those are Easter eggs and references.
@@SolidSnake240, only because they don't have the legal rights to use anything from Dark Sector. But, if read between the lines, it's crystal clear.
So, no references or easter eggs, Dark Sector is the prequel, but unofficial because the the law is stupid and not the ones who created something have the legal rights about that thing, but some parasites.
@@UmbraFulgur are you stupid

I was always wondering why DE is holding the glaive (glaive prime specifically) in such OP state that its like the ferrari of weapons in warframe, not getting nerfed and simultaniously being insanely expensive, but after seeing this, I guess it could be a sentimental legacy kind of thing to keep it special
Early Warframe cover art had Excalibur basically every time with either the skana or the glaive. His design is made to go with the glaive specifically as well
This game needs a remaster, updated graphics, enhanced ui, and NEW GAME +
or rework as a warframe sub-world story expirience (*such as Duviri)
@@rafar9563 this will work
@@rafar9563 Warframe 1999
I'd kill for NG+
I straight up NEVER got to use any of the higher tier weapons. Hell, I probably only got to use half of the guns
Oh, wow. They even reused the shot sound from The Hammer--that's my baby Lex Prime!
all i want to see is the return of hayden tenno in warframe 1999,at least as an NPC or at least som documents of the story, not for canon storyline, at least for Easter egg on how warframe startes, a memorial for how it became over 11 years of warframe.....
I really appreciate that you showed that CGI trailer for original concept for Dark Sector, because I remember first watching it and being so hooked on from that :D
"Nariman Ten-Zero"?
Nani Man Teshin Ro?
I feel like bro tried to bait us with that line
naramon sucks
Discount zariman
Schmariman Ten-Zero
Imagine they remake Dark Sector with today's technology and make it a prequel to warframe lore.
tey might dep. on how well tis update gos down at lest im banking on it 😅
A detail that what was surprisingly not mentioned - Nyx in Warframe has a "Nemesis" skin that looks exactly like Nemesis in Dark Sector.
tats bc it ish nem. fwom D.S same as the glave and pwoto excal. skins tere all call bcks tu D.S as wen tey were relesed tey didnt tink tat us tenno would delve intu it bck ten tbh but at the time a few tenno suchy as myself started peicing it tugether and at tat time wen tennocon hit tat yr tere were some ppl asking about the 2 connections but DE nvr answerd em on the topic anyhoo im hopeing tat wif 1999 update DE will just come out and say it tat WF/DS are connected and 1 in the same instead of being bakas...but tats my opion tu tis 🙄
Lay off the drugs and get professional help
Something to note is that DE apparently don't actually have the rights to the Dark Sector IP. Instead they're currently held by the game's publisher, Deep Silver.
So if DE wanted to make a follow-up or remaster they would need to negotiate with Deep Silver in order to do so.
I knew there was legal issues
soes this mean we dont get any easter eggs of dark sector in warframe 1999? :(
@@l4w1nc0l7well, the proto-skins for excalibur and glaive already exist, so...
@@l4w1nc0l7 There may well be a few nods to it, just nothing that will explicitly link the two as canon.
Given that Warframe already has several nods to the game (beyond the Proto and Nemesis skins and the Glaive melee finishers, the Zealoid Prelate's model is a dead ringer for the stalkers from Dark Sector).
@@thegrouchization Also you can see Nadia on a poster in 1999
the fact that the game breaks is kinda a plus. like everyone knows how buggy warframe used to be. (and yes it's way better now)
I’d argue that Warframe is still pretty buggy IMO. I don’t have enough fingers to count the number of times that a host leaving a squad has completely breaks the mission for me.
The bugs are just a reference to Dark Sector.
@@nicholassulfaro1727, I play the game for 6 years by now and I didn't encounter any bugs. And not casually, several thousand hours...
Not one single bug in Warframe. I don't understand why people lie about that thing?!?!
In over 5 000 hours I didn't found one bug, one!
Great video but YO. That Bionicle Heroes DS theme in the background is sick
The dark sector jackal also looks like a corpus hound
Digital Extremes is in my city and I used to know a few of the guys who worked on Dark Sector. Apparently there were several game versions they went through and development was really all over the place, with the end result combining elements of several different visions plus trendchasing and that's a large part of why story was all over the place and why some concepts were reused for warframe and others were not.
Man I really love playing this game on my PS3
The antenna used in the end game looks sort of like an organic version of an operator pod.
I’m literally only 22 seconds into this video and you’ve earned a like from me. A Warframe player making a review about Dark Sector while playing music from Furi in the background. Absolute Goat.
Great video. I've always been curious about Dark Sector but never had the drive to play it, so it was good to be able to experience it vicariously like this.
Also it vindicates my overuse of glaive-type weapons in Warframe, so thats pretty neat.
I liked this one back in the day. Thanks for making a review!
This is an awesome video. Good job! This was like a documentary.
The title and thumbnail alone made me sub. This is gonna be a fun channel.
Man I would love a singleplayer campaign focused Warframe title with some of the flavor of its current incarnation. 👍🏿👍🏿
I would love a dvd type commentary from this from Steve.
Great vid bro, I played this game years ago, had no clue digital extremes was behind this. Quick side bar, once I unlocked the glaive I never used guns lol
Yup, just what I needed because I loved DS and loved the fact that it's foundational to Warframe. That Glaive was and still is legendary, lol subscribed too thx for the
🔥🎨🔥
this game just popped into my mind after 15 years and here is a review from yesterday
Great video! Also wanted to say that Mezner Boss Fight reminds me to Lephantis from Warframe
I actually remember seeing this in the newspaper. They reviewed it and everything.
The final boss reminds me of Lephantis from Warframe, which is a giant Infested monster with 3 heads: Grineer, Corpus and Ancient (Infested enemy type)
I want that ak, we gotta have a quest where we rob arthur for his gun
Good review. You seem to have a knack for making good quality videos
Thank you for making this, there’s truly no vids on this game worth watching until now👍🏾
Dam you made me remember this game , what a fun and good game . Surprisingly it run pretty decent back then on my PC . It was that time where the RE4 third person camera was becoming popular and others used it for their games . I considered the graphics pretty great too back then .
Didn't knew about the history of the development of this game , some sick tech demos and concepts . Thanks man .
holy shit i can't believe i finally found out what the name of this game was. I remember playing it a long time ago probably around 2010 and really enjoyed it. You've unlocked a part of my memory haha thanks so much for this!
The first Dark Sector cinematic looked amazing at the time. Like Solid Snake in Space
Forgot all about this game …
Thanks for the nostalgia trip 😅
yea big bro we need more videos like this.
Such a nice Video man keep it up
4:10 🤓 "Uuuhhmmm ACKSHUALLY its called the Zariman, not the Nariman!" I think you confused that with the Naramon focus school.
Great video though!
you get a like for the fury soundtrack in the background.
I doubt it will ever be said out loud. But what was said out loud was during a dev stream they basically said if they ever got to mess with Dark Sector again (I think there's legal issues with who has rights over the ip), they'd rewrite it. That being said, I believe 1999 is Dark Sector being rewritten to fit canonically. Hayden Tenno is now Arthur Excalibur. Robert Mezner is now Albrecht Entrati. Basically, the same thing happens with the infection and the frames. Almost everything can have a line drawn to it between what were are seeing with 1999 and what happened in Dark Sector.
Just realised the zariman ship is shown in the dark sector original concept video in the background, same exact shape , portal split
Excellent, video on Dark Sector. In the Warframe quest that introduces the Infested, and has you detonate a bomb, I want to say had a lotus line that explicitly said it was Enferon. But, I am not 100% on that, and would have to see if I could dig up proof. As for the canon status, I think the introduction of the multiverse to Warframe gives DE the option to alway say or use any version of Dark Sector. But, the Dark Sector we got was also a very painful experience for the those that worked on it. Just as you showed how much the games concepts got changed by the market conditions, really hurt the hearts and minds of DE developers. So, I can only imagine there is a bitter sweet memory of the DS that was released. All that is too say, even if DE has all the rights and a in world explanation to go back to the 2008 DS game, they probably just don't want to. 1999 is DE giving itself permission to reinvent DS and create a proper prequel to WF. Something, that would be confusing and messy if treating DS 08 as strict cannon, instead of a spiritual successor, and maybe a far off multidimensional iteration of Eternalism.
I remember when Dark Sector was supposed to take place in the distant future and in space.
One day we will get the canon connection we crave. Dark sector is the whole reason warframe even interested me to begin with
after tennocon it seems its very much going to connect dark sector
The darksector story could continue in a warframe quest line one day
Arthur/Excalibur, I wonder how far they'll push the similarity... everything is possible with realities crossing timelines (Operator/Drifter).
This review has just reminded me that I never finished this game back when I first came out. I feel an old sadness return to me.
this game was a hugely formative experience for me, so I'm glad someone's talking about it.
Man i was just thinking of this game todah and never forget about it. I enjoyed this game so much back then, i was shocked there wasnt a second one.
damnt you beat me to doing a review video 10/10 well done !
This is why I miss VG in the 90s and early 2000's because developers were truly experimenting with allot of concepts for games unlike today.
I'd see this game on sale all the time as a teen. The multilayer mode described on the box always interested me.
HOLY SHIT. THIS GAME. THIS FUCKING GAME. IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOR OVER A DECADE, TRYING TO FIND IT AND BEING CONVINCED IT WAS A FABRICATED MEMORY, A FEVER DREAM. THANK YOU
DE_Steve and DE_Geoff said long time ago in a devstream that Warframe was supposed to be the far flung future of DS. However they changed the story along the line and just kept some easter eggs. On a scale of 1 to 10 of being related to Warframe, DS is about 5 or 6.
If you take Eternalism into account, then yes, Dark Sector is canon.
That and if Diavolo dies in a Grendel x Refrigerator Prime fanfiction, then that is coincidentally canon to JoJo's and Warframe at the same time.
I remember when using glaives with ivaras navigator would sometimes bring an item back to you, like in DarkSector. Pretty funny
Such a nostalgic game for me, my teenage self loved the edginess
The pistol sound is Lex in Warframe funny they kept it
damn what a piece of nostalgia appeared in my feed. I loved Dark Sector back in the day. It was a good game. Nothing extraordinary but still a good game to play through, especially if you like Warframe. Great video
Fondly remember playing this game on my PS3 back in the day. Even imported a UK copy as it was initially banned and censored here in Australia.
One of my first ps3 games back in the day. I was waiting for someone to play/talk aboit this game. Yes!!!!
holy, the Furi ost going hard in the video
hell yeah, a Tenno covering darkSector. I love WF currently and wouldn't trade it for the world... HOWEVER I do wonder what things would be like if OG concept darkSector had been able to rival to Dead Space the same way that Resident Evil and Silent Hill are rivals.
7:47 locking on with an RPG-7 is pretty goofy, not gonna lie.
I vividly remember having the gameinformer with game on the cover. I always wanted to play it but always forget to pick it up
One of my first few games I really enjoyed beating on hardest difficulty, I lived this game.
Forgot about that game, watching the gameplay I kept shouting OMG I REMEMBER THIS!!
This went beyond what i expected a Dark Sector Review to be, very detailed and very well researched.
Nicely done.
Is that some MAGNAVOLT at the end?
Honestly, I could see a studio like Nightdive being willing to update this game for modern platforms
THIS WAS A WILD GAME
Good review!
Is that the Bionicle shooter's ( forgot name) theme from the DS as the background?
yes.
I loved darkSector back in the day, and honestly didn’t even know DE made it.
This video does make me want to use Ivara with a glaive tho..
Still waiting for a Jimmy the Grape Warframe we can't let that name die with The Darkness 2
i remember wanting to play Dark Sector but never realized the connection
as someone who's only barely played Warframe, I'm so surprised that Dark Sector game I tried back when I was a teen has these many connections to Warframe. Maybe I'll go back to Warframe after this vid, great vid btw
Back when this came out I was so Hyped.
This and singularity are so underrated
True

Jokes aside it's interesting seeing how much of Warframe exists in Dark Sector.
Love that u use music from "furi"
9:26 lmao the Marv scream
I do not know who you are, mate. I do not know what you do or what you like?
But the fact that you too love the Hayden Tenno suit in Warframe makes you the closest thing a Warframe TH-camr has been to a kinsman I've ever had
Thank you
I still have my original copy, I played this, Elder Scrolls 3 and call of duty when I got my 360. I love this game. Underrated.
This is exactly the type of utterly superfluous sadgeek design lore about games i played but dont care about that i need to turn off my brain to after a long shift with a beer and a joint. Thank you sir. Its actually a good compliment i promise.
