The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Developer Diary #4 - No Mercy

I'm really hoping it's as good as the first game.

Does it really have Vin Diesels voice. Man, thats annoying. You want to smack him upside the head and tell him to wake up.

Can not really judge it from the videos. Gonna need to play to really see...However, it is evident in multiplayer mode that if you catch a lag spike your most likely a gonner, lol.

ptich black mode looks insane! cant wait. i think its a must for pc. i played it on the 360 just to get a feel for the game, but controler sucks balls in fps. pc will dominate online!!!

i will get this game.loved escapre from butcher bay

Weird.

The coolest looking mode is Pitch Black, that looks Uber awesome!!!

The Pitch Black multiplayer mode looks fun!

Spooky

Multi player looks a little to old school for me

This game is the only game which is based on a movie and it looks good!!!!!

bottom line the game looks really promising

It's looking more and more promising everyday...

The multiplayer looks fairly standard, but that's not really a bad thing, as long as they do it well. I like these level designs, though. They've got a pretty slick look, and the lighting effects are really well-done. Looking good.

@(whoever says this multiplayer looks generic) Ok, I'll level with you, what kind of multiplayer game mode did you have in mind that you would consider "non generic"?

I might get this game looks good played the 1st game

The first Riddick was the best single player FPS on the old Xbox, hands down. Can't wait to re-live it, nearly five years later.

couldn't care less about multi, Butcher Bay was awesome no way I'm not getting this

@gammit10 it has the knew part two

Eh, all the modes look extremely generic. Except pitch black mode, it reminds me of playing as a spy in Chaos Theory, so i'll play that mode, but thats about it. I'm still looking forward to the game tho. I'm a big fan of the stealth games, lol.

those guys are fu..ing noooooooooobs the guy is in front of him and he shoots at the wall??????????????

I love these video interviews. Good info here. Too bad I already finished "Riddick" the first time around, and don't have an urge to replay it.

The MP plays like an early UT game. I don't like that. I've played the demo already, and it's somewhat enjoyable, but the MP leaves a little to be desired, so I'm kinda torn on getting this game. I doubt it though.

as always can't wait, multiplayer looks strong

the MP gameplay seems like the classical MP style gameplay which isn't really quite interesting. I mean yeah sure it's an updated version of The Darkness MP, but it's still based on The darkness game and let's just say it wasn't fun. The campaign aspect of the game I'm sure will leave nothing to be desired, but as for the MP...I'm on the edge on this one

omg these/this guy(s) really can't aim

Pitch Black mode looks like a very tense battle for both sides... Im getting this :D

im a little iffy considering they made the darkness multiplayer

The graphic engine seems a bit outdated but it has a great sci-fi story and excellent gameplay

Looks so so, but not lame !

Looks reeeaaally lame!!

I am renting this one from Gamefly.

BA!

The riddick vs mercs mode at the end looks sweet

Damn that looks fun.

I agree cubiclepwner the ads are kinda like brainwashing especially when you see the same one 4 times in a row

looks cool. ill look forward to this

good game

CubliclePwnerer, what are you talking about. ???

i was lucky to get this today and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! haven't dip a whole lot into it, but if you get it from gamestop you get bonus content

Sorry to be a party killer here but the multiplayer aspect of this game looks like more like the child of UT3 and Quake 4 which were fun at the time. It does nothing to further what nearly ever FPS game before it has already done. I would like to see more originality than one gameplay mode from this IP.

this'll be sweet. totally grabbing this when it launches. i loved the 1st and it doesnt play on 360 and for some reason the PC copy doesn't work anymore (i swear they did it so you HAVE to buy this). anyways, i'll be glad to play butcher bay again with all the new content

Oh.... So there's a special reward for the mercenary that hands the crippling blow to Riddick in that particular multiplayer mode. Well, this would make things more balanced, perhaps to counter the habits of players that stick together if there is not an incentive to do otherwise. But I do think Riddick could do with some kind of one-hit killing move, which he needs to charge up by successfully stalking one of the mercs or just stay hidden long enough.

I dislike how there is propaganda at the beginning of a lot of the shooting games on all video game websites. It is truly disturbing to me, and it seems that I'm the only one who sees this.

graphics engine looks a little weak. Gameplay looks amazing. Definitely would love to play.

The multiplayer looks amazing,they really put the work into this game, i hope you get to climb things as riddick and drop down on guys that would be great, I cant wait to try the pitch black mode, get your guns, turn on your flashlights, they wont save you, riddicks coming
