Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena Trailer

This trailer should also be known as "nerdgasm." I don't know how many of you checked out the original "Escape from Butcher Bay" game on the original Xbox, but it was definitely a classic game I still keep.
It really was ahead of its time for an FPS. It combined platforming, first person fist-fights, puzzles, RPG-ish sidequests and was also the first XBox game to use normal mapping, and looked great for it. I'm definitely pumped for the possibility of a new Riddick game(I try to forget the horrible 2nd movie in the franchise and just think about Pitch Black).
Oh, sweet. I also played the first game on the Xbox, and even though I sold it, it was definitely one of my favorite games. Everything about the game was well-executed. I didn't realize it until you wrote it here, but the game does wear many hats, and looks good in all of them.
I'm looking forward to Spring '09.
Edit: I just read the wikipedia page for the game, and it said Dark Athena was originally supposed to be a remake of Butcher Bay, but has enough new content to be considered a sequel? That's weird. It seems more like a remake with an expansion pack.
Eh, I'll probably buy it either way.
Hmm....I didn't know that. Maybe its Butcher Bay 1.5?
Yeah, that's what it's looking like. I won't mind playing the game again for Achievements and improved graphics. Looks like you'll also be able to sell your original! Quickly, while it's still worth something ;)
Heh...funny thing about that is I forgot I sold it with a bunch of other games on Craigslist. Guess that takes care of that!
Oh well. For the next 60 hours, if really want to play it again, you can buy it for just a dollar:

I've spent more money on packs of gum.
Holy crap that is cheap! Nice find.
NP :)
Yea, the game looks good, the music for that movie was pretty good too.
