The riddick game uses the ID Doom 3 engine, right?

Anything based on the HL1 engine barely strains a Geforce 2. You haven't even scratched the surface, boy. Buy some new games and enjoy the card before it's obsolete.

Aye. It is pretty enjoyable. The constant uttering of "fvk" and "ass" make it qutie the holey experience...


they throw in shivs, screwdrivers, flys, [prince]DARKENESS![/prince], and hand-to-hand combat which makes for a nice, soothing experience:D

Riddick is an awesome game, it doesn't use the doom3 engine, but it's engine is every bit as capable (and has a higher char head poly count, too =P). Not much beats running up to a guard, grabbing their gun and wrist, shoving said gun under their chin and making them blow their own head off =)

this is NOT a Doom 3 engine game, it's a new engine made just for the game...not sure if it has a name, but it works nicely

This has to be the one time in history that a game based on a movie is a) better than the movie itself; and b) a great game.

Ok... lemme try something...



I wish there was a forum for video related discussions... or maybe software.




... wasn't as fun as others seem to find it.

NOT the Doom III engine ... a great game though. One of my favorites from the past year.

I've been playing it since my internet connection went down 3 weeks ago, but now I'm stuck.

If anyone know how to get past the place where you get the minigun, after riding with two of the large cargo elevators/platforms. And two critters keep appearing from a window high above, please tell. It's pretty annoying since it's in a no save zone and I had to go before I could figure out how to get on.

Oh, and definately a good game, really enjoying it.

I guess Splinter Cell is next game up, if my connection doesn't get fixed soon.

Whoa whoa...how old is this game again? I remember hearing some stuff about it but not much.

Damn, I really need to keep up on my FPSs better.

Chaos Theory, now this, anything else I need to play?

Riddick was a really fun game. The engine has some major distinctions from the Doom3 one though. The textures are much higher quality in Riddick but the overall model count is much lower, walls are very flat, people are more flat. It cannot do the bone structure effects that Doom3 does / the true reflections / shadows. End result is both games have very unique styles. I'd compare Riddick more to HL2 with a 'glossier' engine and not as much physics (in use).

I'm not sure but I think there was a guard in that window. If you let that guard live, he'll fight off the bugs for you. If you're facing the window, I think the door is behind and to the right of you. It's been a while, so I'm sure my memory isn't 100%.

It leads into a similar room where there's two buttons for doors. One open a room into a mech which when killed allow you to get the minigun, the other button seem to do nothing.
