I didn't know it was multiplatform though, thought it was just xbox 360?
I also don't see the point of this at all. People can just buy the PC or Xbox 1 version for pennies.
I will be getting this on the PS3.
These are the first real shots of the 360/PS3/PC remake that's now coming out. Older shots were from the PC version (unless I missed some).
Visually the game is coming together now, and this remake of the excellent Riddick should be a sure bet compared to the disappointing The Darkness.
