It's going to be made by the same team behind the previous games!

Complete with 5 forms of drm and allways on internet required. Joking... I hope.

I just hope it is not worse then the 2nd one, and if it is better then the first, I'll be really happy.

I hope the Riddick movie comes on on blu-ray before X-mas, I'll buy it or rent it.

This is awesome. Is there an official name so that we can add it to the wishlist?

Both games, even if they are too short, did a fine job in worldbuilding, so I think it is logical for this next game to have Riddick step out of contained areas and explore the galaxy with reasonable freedom. If the third installment is yet another short 'prison-breakout' game, then I think Starbreeze and Diesel will fail yet again to attract more people to the Riddick universe.

If the sequel has Riddick exploring a complete world (Elder Scrolls - will never happen-) or at least a world that is divided in over a dozen larger levels (like Deus Ex and DE: Human Revolution), then the franchise will get a well deserved popularity boost.

What makes the world interesting is its savagery. You can see it more prominently in its Nanomech+ devices. It is like the universe is in a dark age, but with the aid of high-tech and alien technology. Even though what I've seen I wouldn't recommend for the Nebula or other important SF prizes, it still has potential to be something big and make strong statements at the same time.

Time will tell what will happen. Its been 4 years since Assault on Dark Athena, so hopefully they are making something memorable.

Riddick games have been superb and I think it has a LOT to do with Vin Diesel being a huge gamer nerd at heart, he has a software company that manages his licenses and even a music label I guess to sign on his musician buddies. He picked up Starbreeze when they weren't big on the map yet and did a good quality control because even though the Darkness game was good too it didn't have quite the same amount of polish the other games did. Then again he did make 'Wheelman' ...... so ya win some lose some.


Want Diesel to make at least three more Riddick movies and he better hurry he isn't getting any younger.
