Let's hope this means more, not longer, paths so we can actually use stealth this time around.

Of course. Cole Hauser will be back as Johns too.

You know, as beautiful as Riddick was, I considered it a waste to update it. It was fucking gorgeous on the XBOX and jaw-dropping on PC. But these screens are insane. It's damn near photo-realism (save for the effects).

Publisher-released screenshots are often "touched up", likely taken on a development PC. They likely won't look as good whilst running on the actual console hardware in your lounge.
The PC version might be a different story though, if Starbreeze's fully optimised PC port of Butcher Bay was any indication. That had more extensive/advanced shader effects (eg soft-shadows) than the Xbox original and high levels of anisotropic filtering.

Escape from Butcher Bay is about the only game I've played where the plasticky normal-map look actually worked. Don't know what it is, but I bought the aesthetic of the game 100%.

I'm a fan of Pitch Black and I've been thinking about picking up Butcher Bay for years; should I wait for Dark Athena instead?
