Riddick debut trailer is dark, gravelly

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 4th 2008 at 3:00PM }

"The darkness, for me, is where I shine," says Vin Diesel as Riddick, his greatest character (apart from the Iron Giant, of course). While it's clear that his daily breakfast of Gravel-Os probably ruined his chances at a singing career, it's also obvious that Riddick has a bright future in killing people with knives. Put bluntly (sharply?), The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena looks great, as is made plainly clear by the debut trailer above. Given that the game is being made by the same team that made the original (which fared very well), we're hopeful that it plays just as good as it looks. We'll find out when the game ships early next year.

"The darkness, to me, is where I shine"

Typo should be "for me" not "to me".

Ugh. Long day. Fixed.

This game is a direct sequel to Escape From Butcher Bay, and both take place before the first Riddick movie, PITCH BLACK.

Pitch Black is bad ass.

DBoyFlex @ Dec 4th 2008 6:04PM

This is slated for a March release, right?

Curtis @ Dec 4th 2008 7:00PM

Uhhh, the line is "The darkness, FOR me, is where I shine."

This looks f'in badass.

The original was one of my favorite games of last generation. This is a remake plus an entirely new campaign, what's not to love? I could have done without him punching the already dead robot at the end of the trailer, was that supposed to come off as a cool?

What rating is this meant to be. From the video you can punch people in the face, stab them in the neck and shoot them all over the place, but as long as there's no blood it's not an age restricted thing? Surely this'll just lead kids into thinking that people don't contain blood and thus it's ok to stab them up... or so the theory will go.
