Nice looking screens, but I noticed you weren't supposed to capture those screen shots, could you get into trouble

in all honesty, i don't really see a lot of difference between those screens, and what i played on PC.

maybe it's just my memory playing tricks though, so perhaps i should re-install it.

I don't actually see too much difference in those screens from even the xbox version. It all just looks like it's a higher resolution than what was on the Xbox and quite honestly on the PC those resolutions back then could've actually been a reality so I don't doubt it one bit.

The thing which really turns me off is the colours....it's all so orange/brown....like everything in the game looks the same colour. That stuff really irks me cuz creating atmosphere/immersion imo needs a lot of variation. Sure it looks cohesive but it also looks so boring. Regardless I am thinking of pickup it up because the AI and gun battles from the short go I had (a while ago) were quite cool.

Thats exactly what I thought..

And the re-make treatment is still stupid in my book. It sounds like the directors edition of the directors edition for PC so far

Judging by those screens alone, it doesn't look like the geometry or shaders have been altered at all. I agree with what everyone has said; Riddick PC + high res = these screens. Disappointing.

There might have been some new filters added. Pic 2 seemed to have been sexed up a bit from what I remember, but it has been a while since I last played the game.

Yeah it looks like the PC version and despite all the power they have they still don't have the soft shadows the PC version had.
