I decided to try out Chronicles of Riddick, Assault on Dark Athena.
Now… its not the single player that scared me.
Heck no.
It was the Multiplayer gametype "Pitch Black".
Here's how it goes.
6 players max, we had 4.
So the game type is this. 1 player chosen at random is Riddick! The other guys are Mercs.
The Mercs have to kill Riddick. Whoever kills him, becomes him next round.
Easy. Well… starts off. I was playing the Merc side.
We started off on the surface, surrounded by Shotguns, SMGs, or Machine Guns to choose.
Then, we go to one of the 4 holes, and jump down.
Down there, its Pitch Black, as the name applys, and only your flashlight is your light. Turning it off = Black Screen with very few things to follow to try and move.
Thats what was creepy…
Me… and 2 others… in a labyrinth of darkness and corners… hunting 1 guy, who can see in the dark.
So we're moving through, I was watching my back 24/7… and as we're going around, suddenly behind me I hear "Blah!", I look back, and the guy who was right behind me… was DEAD!
Hahahahahah….
The guy in front of me kept going, and I started sprinting to him as fast as possible.
As we move on, the guy who died respawned. And we continued… then we broke up… and I heard "Blaahhh!" again, down a hallway… then I heard Riddick say "Careful of whats in the dark…"
So since everyone was split up… I was alone… in a dark room… with only the dripping of water from a pipe to be heard..
I stood there… looking all over the place and panicing…
Then suddenly, I hear footsteps, running to me!
I look over….. nothing… then BOOM, Riddick comes running straight into the light, swinging his knives, and I start firing and backing up like crazy!
And after all the shots, he died.
And it says "Grimno will be Riddick next!"
YAY!
So then as Riddick… I can see in the dark. Completely. Lights however and x2 as bright… and all I have are knives to sneak up on.
I see flashlights, I see guys running around looking for me… and I hide in a corner. And 2 guys run past me.
I sprint up behind the first guy and swing like mad! He goes down, the second guy turns and starts hozing down the area with an SMG!
I run, and hide… he starts looking all over the place!
Hes scared!
Its amazing to see how I was acting, a few minutes ago.
He starts sprinting up some stairs… and I follow. I come up behind him and SHANK! However, an ally was nearby and he saw it… then he shotgunned me.
I died… he became Riddick. Process repeated itself!
Good fun, but DAM if it ain't scary!!!
Edit- Here's a small look at it.
At 2:01 is what I'm talking about!
At 2:55 was what I was playing on.

O. Another horror game.
:>
Its not a “Horror Game” in general… but that gametype is!
It sounds real cool. 😀
Mh, that’s interesting.
cool. Looks fun
Darkness, speed, panic, confusion!
Adrenalin-filled shooter!
A very interesting concept
I like. 😀
Sounds like the Batman Begins game I tried out once. Cool play-by-play though.
Dark Sector has that type of mode too.
