Want to get some cool behind the scenes thoughts on the upcoming Riddick game? We checked it out back at Comic Con, so make sure to check out our developer interview and preview, then watch the video Atari released today. I’m very excited for this one.
Fear not Riddick fans. The time is close at hand. Atari wants you to know just how damn good Assault on Dark Athena is by releasing a demo on the Xbox 360 today. Based on our earlier conversations with the developers, the PS3 demo will most likely be released in tomorrow’s PSN update.
The demo gives you a chance to take a look at the main decks level of Dark Athena (it’s a giant ship that you’re hijacking, in case you didn’t know). You’ll be able to try out all of Riddick’s cool moves. All of us here at Loot Ninja were huge fans of Butcher Bay and loved what we saw when we got hands on with the game last month. Check out our preview here for the full scoop.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is scheduled to drop on April 7th for all platforms, so get some time in with the demo for the next month and get ready to shiv some bitches.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was a huge sleeper hit on the Xbox. It had some of the earliest and best hand to hand fighting for a “FPS”. The game allowed you explore very interactive environments where the lighting was as impressive as the graphics. The controls were tight, the aiming was spot on, and the overall game play was fantastic. Oh by the way, the story kicked ass. Where can the developers go from here? Enter: Assault on Dark Athena. We got some hands-on experience at the NYCC this weekend and to say that we are very happy and excited is an understatement.
We were all huge fans of the first Chronicles of Riddick game back on the Xbox, so getting hands on with Assault on Dark Athena was a good time. Check out what the developers have to say about the game.
Anyone who reads our site knows how we feel about Riddick and how excited we are for this game. Here is a gunplay video for the upcoming title. I will have my impressions up for the game soon, as I got some hands-on time with it at Comic Con. Until then, check it out.
Many of us here at Loot Ninja were huge fans of Escape from Butcher Bay on the original Xbox, so it’s no suprise that we’re very excited for the upcoming Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Combining a new story with the ability to play through the original, this looks like it’ll be a winner when it drops this Spring. Check out the latest Desperation trailer and watch how pretty it is to cut someone with a shiv from behind.
Hands across…………..AMERICA! Finally, a true sequel to one of my favorite games of all time, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. That game was awesome. Now, we get to pick up the story of one of the coolest anti-heroes there is, Riddick. Once you get by the fact it is the Fast and Furious guy, you will see how badass this game, character, and storyline this is. Watch in awe. Riddick FTMFW.
