Riddick: A new FPS for the Xbox

Riddick: A new FPS for the Xbox

Starbreeze Studios have a page on their official website for a new secret project since a few months now. Game Informer had the honor to do the unveiling, the game is called Riddick and will be a FPS. More details, scans and concept arts in this news.



Starbreeze had with Enclave released one of the best looking games of the Xbox at the time, even with all the slowdowns. The developpers are far from newbies since some of them were members of the mythical PC demo group Triton (for the oldest here) and were working on one of the most promosing PC games of the pre-3dfx era called "Into the Shadows".

Riddick is their new project along with Knights of the Temple.
Technically Riddick seems fabulous and will hold the comparison with Halo 2 or even Doom3.
The lighting will be totally dynamic, every light source can be destroyed, every material reflects light his own way. The shadows will also top notch, totally real time and even more advanced than Splinter Cell ! The game uses a new rendering method called "normal mapping".
The environment will be interactive and destructible, blood sprayed on a wall will trickle down naturally.

One of the innovations of the game is the fact that there is no HUD. The life gauge will only appear when it changes, and the ammo counter will be displayed directly on the weapons.
The physics engine will have everything we take for granted for a modern game, even ragdoll bodies.

The game will be a mix between a normal FPS, a stealth game and even a survival horror at time. The will be melee combat with only our fists, and gunfights.

Count on me to let you informed as soon as I get more info on that game.

Vivendi universal asked me to put down the images and scans of the game.

Mouai, c'est très beau! mais bon, les FPS, ca commence à faire beaucoup! Un peu de variété que diable (stratégie, RTS, reflexion, RPG etc etc, les genres sont nombreux pourtant!

Beaucoup de FPS, mais combien véritablement adaptés à la Xbox, que ce soit au niveau graphique et dans le gameplay ?

Est-ce que Riddick est exclusif à la Bobox ?

Game Informer dit que oui, mais il semble que le jeu soit aussi prévu sur PS2 d'après certains sur les forums.

j'ai l'impression que ce jeu est une suite ou une prequelle au film "pitch black" avec Vin Diesel parce que la modélisation du perso avec les lunettes de soleil est ressemblante et que Riddick est justement le nom du personnage joué par Vin Diesel dans le film.
plus d'un sur le film : http://sfstory.free.fr/films/pitchblack.html

Yep, je ne suis pas allé voler les scans watermarkés de ce site ;)
Commented on 2004-01-19 15:10:37
Par contre, je risque de te voler les tiens (si tu n'y vois pas d'inconvénient) pour les mettre sur Factornews.

Edit > En citant, bien évidemment :)

Les miens sont watermarkés ;)
Tu peux les trouver non watermarkes sur le forum de teamxbox.

d'ailleurs le gars aux lunettes ressemblent comme 2 gouttes d'eaux à Vince Diesel, y'a plus aucun doute c bien la suite de pitch black comme tu as dis ;)

ahh, j'allais m'étonner du fait que le film ne soit pas mentionné dans la news.
j'ai bien fait de vérifier !

sinon, il s'agit bien de Chronicles of Riddick qui est la préquelle de pitch black.
le trailer est dispo chez dark horizons ou coming soon
