New screenshots for Riddick remake
If you’ve played The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, there’s a very good chance you loved it. The game was set before the events of Vin Diesel flicks Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. The Riddick game is one of those rare movie-to-game adaptations that bring tears to our eyes. In a good way.
EfBB was released simultaneously with the movie last June 2004.
Fast forward to present day. Sometime last week, it was announced that EfBB was being remade for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The title will be The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Starbreeze Studios, the original developer, is back at the helm.
According to Starbreeze in an interview, they decided to do a remake because Microsoft wasn’t able to make EfBB backward compatible with the Xbox 360. Perhaps an even more compelling reason is Starbreeze wanted to aim EfBB at a wider audience before making a sequel (i.e. make even more money for practically the same game).
We found some new screenies for the game in Jeux France, and decided to share them with Riddick’s adoring public. Enjoy.
This stuff ‘cracks’ me up. Keep shooting pare
