Next-gen Riddick Remake Confirmed?

[bVork]

This thread deserves to be bumped because Riddick is awesome. So thanks to Atari picking up this game after the worst publisher in the business canned it, it's set to come out in summer 2009 for PC, 360, and PS3. They showed off a lot of this game at their recent preview event.

Here's the trailer. There are also a bunch of previews around the Internet now, mostly containing the same information:

• The original Bucher Bay game is included (including the two levels exclusive to the PC Developer's Cut), along with a new Dark Athena portion that takes place right after the end of Butcher Bay
• Butcher Bay has some slightly redone areas (like the mining section)
• The new Dark Athena portion of the game is about as long as the original Butcher Bay game.
• It takes place on a mercenary ship staffed by drones with guns mounted on their arms. Riddick has to grab the drone and point the drone's arm at enemies in order to use their guns.
• Riddick can also take control of drones in certain sequences.
• Hand-to-hand combat has new counters and combos and so on.

Does this have new-gen blocky shadows? I love plastic models and blocky shadows.

I wasn't expecting this to be almost double the length of the original. That's pretty fucking awesome right there.

I'll play and finish it this time!

Just make a damn sequal, that game came out 4 years ago.

It's pretty much a remake and sequel in one since the Dark Athena portion is just as long as the Butcher Bay portion.

Fuck yes it looks awesome.
