Watching this Riddick trailer is like watching antihero porno

Yesterday, we got to watch the first four minutes of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. It was nothing short of brilliant. The animations, tone, and the encapsulation of Riddick’s personality seemed spot on. Today Atari released this trailer, dubbed “Desperation.”

It begins with Riddick’s voice. “I’m hell’s messenger,” he says. “Name’s Riddick.” Rock music then blasts and a series of quick cuts highlight action elements in the game. Night vision, hand-to-hand combat, and shooting are all shown in frenzied snippets.

The antihero has never looked better. Then again, there’s not a logical way to make him look silly.  

Assault on Dark Athena is slated to come out in early April on the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3. Make sure to hit up our preview. It highlights a lot of the elements shown in the video.
