That's kind of the problem with The Hidden mod for HL2. Well that and there's no US servers anymore.

Might as well throw it here, anyone looking forward to Arkhan Asylum? The new trailer is amazing, looks like it will be a Riddick's gothic twin.

Make a new thread.

Do you intend to insert the phrase "Riddick's gothic twin" into your every post from now on as a pretensious mannerism or something? Because it's already two posts in a row in the same thread.

Do intend to be a disdainful, self righteous snob in every post you make from now on?
Because Its already a dozen different posts in a row in as many threads.

No, just half of the time. Seriously though, I usually tend to be an asshole when I don't get enough sleep. Which was the case for the last two or three days.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43451.html?type=) Video interview with the Tigon Studios production head.
(
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=331664) Decent written preview on Eurogamer.
Preview summaries from Riddick fansite PitcherBlacker.com
Quote:
They also had some specs on the changes to Butcher Bay:
* every model's been redone
* the AI's better
* there's a new weapon select system
* environments are three times the size they once were
Quote:
The interview also brings out some new information:
* Revas, the captain of the Dark Athena, kidnaps people and turns them into these cybord Drones we see in all the screens.
* the video shows a "Controller" character, inserted into some sort of machine
* this game is more about the Mercs of the Riddick universe
* takes place immediately after EFBB
* Ian mentions these games being "episodic in nature"
* the EFBB remake: the entire game recreated, all environments were redone using their new tech, the remade all character models, gameplay mechanics tweaked and polished
* they spent years working on the multiplayer
* special content appears to get unlocked when you find Bounty Cards
* will ship for all platforms simultaneously

Apparently there was some sort of press event where press were allowed to watch someone else play. I scanned all these previews and put together the following list of interesting items:
* It won't force you to replay Butcher Bay before getting to the new Dark Athena game (smart!)
* It's true, you get the swingblades that shouldn't appear in the story for five years, and they're called "Ulaks"
* You and Johns have been captured on the Dark Athena ship
* New enemy: the Ghost Drone, a sometimes-remote-controlled guard on the Dark Athena
* You can carry a Drone, use the body as a shield, and fire the gun that's welded to its hand
* Riddick can control a Drone if he finds a control station
* The previews say the Dark Athena campaign is 10 hours of gameplay
* Parts of Butcher Bay, such as the mines, have been altered based on gamer feedback
* Cole Hauser returns!
